The New York Commercial says:

Higher cotton prices and further
advances on cotton goods does not
seem to be restricting the demand for
finished fabrics. Buyers are in the
market and are anxious to place or
ders at sellers prices. The fear that
deliveries will be very much delayed
and prices higher the longer orders
are held back, is bringing quite a few
large out-Of-tOWn jObbers into the
market for supplies. The opinion
against the curtailment plan seems to
be growing stronger. Members Of the
trade feel certain that it will result in
pushing goods up to prohibltiVe price
levels, besides creating q most uncom-
Portable shortage of goods when they
are wanted. The outlook in the raw
cotton market does not hold out much
in the way of q promise for lower
prices. There are quite a few in the
cotton market strongly of the opinion
tina prices will go considerably above
the 15-cent mark, INC that the 'Sully
Doom will be outclassed. so far as
prices are concerned. 1t Is claimed
that the situation has gotten beyond
the control of speculative interests,
and that prices are nov based on sup
plv and demand. Manufacturers using
cotton yarns are believed to be very
short OF supplies and are gradually
being forced to come into the market
and pay prevailing prices. Many Of
the orders they now ave on their
books for next year were accepted on
a very much lower cotton yarn basis
and it is a matter for much specula-
ton as to how these mill will come
out in the long rum. Dress goods have
again been advanced n the demand
is verv steady for fall and winter
goods. In every quarter Of the market
the movement of prices is in an up-
ward direction"
The New York Journal Of Com
merce says:
prices have further advanced on
warns since the last reports and mills
are getting more business from the
trade and from customers dealing dl-
rect. Dealers say their customers
need more yarns and will ave to pay
the current prices CT better in the
near future. Sales in this market for
the week were good in some houses
and poor in others Dealers who have
had yarns in stock have reduced them
greatly and have been doing business
steadily and at a profit. They are
ending considerable difficulty in plac-
ing further orders with mills unless
they pay at least what yarns are
ouoted at in the markets today.

"OfYIciay" information.

We are pleased to have receiv
ed Official" information from
the local Indian Agency Office Of
Wyandotte, Oklah oma, throwing
some Official, light on the
manner in which Paul A. Ewert,
special assistant to the Honor
able George w. Wicker. Sheen,
Attorney General of the United
States, secured a deed to the
allotment OF Charles Blue Jacket,
deceased, which is as follows,
Viz: That the said Paul A.
Ewert made a sealed bid on the
land, in the regular order, as
provided by the rules and regu-
latiouS of the Interior Depart
ment, but his bid was below the
appraiSe ment, and of course was
rejected. He then submitted
another bid which was accepted,
it being $4,000 for 200 acres.
The information further advises
us that the records of the Indian
Office will show this to be as
stated.
We wish to call attention to
the fact that this is the first
official" information we have
been able to pry loose from the
local Indian office concerning this
sale.
Another pertinent fact presents
itself, and that is, how did Paul
A. Ewert arrive at what the APP
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1909-11-04

praised valuation was. so as to
just get over it, on his last bid
and how was it possible for such
an appraisement to be put on
this land, that would enable him
/ to procure so valuable a piece of
land at such a ridiculous price?
1t will be further noted, that
the greed" that possessed him
was not even satiated on a SIS per
acre price, but that his first at
tempt was to still further rob the
orphans of Charles Bluejacket,
deceased, by offering even a
smaller price, than the ridiculous
one at which he procured the
deed.
Do you think any one except
an employee of the government
could have secured this land I'M
des like conditions?
What a travesty on justice and
what a mockery on honor, when
employees of the National Gov
eminent, with high official titles,
which should warrant the honor
and respect of every citizen of
this great nation, are caught red
handed in such a despisable mess,
a discredit to the position they
hold and a disgrace to the ma
tion they represent.
