peratures This would put stop to the idle
talk Of top crop" But little confidence mas
been placd in such talk. as the crop has Vir-
tually been gathered and stock admitted to
the fields, as the next census report on guam
tity of cotton ginned to November Is VIII
nrobably show about 100000 bales ginned
against 1886, 900 last year. This will probably
represent at least rs per cent of the total
crop. compared with 1873 per cent ginned to
the corresponding date one year ago From
now on the census reports are apt to become
more bullish so much so that by December
1S the total ginned will probably have been
reduced TO figures as in 1907 and 1906 wheh
obcut 4. 800 600 bales had been accounted for,
and thereafter this years figures will prob
ably drop below the years cited, when the
cron was Ii 572 900 bales and 1l,Si600O bales,
respectively. In the meantime receipts Will
probably give an insight to the smallness or
tho crop, and IL exports continue liberal at
ali stocks will begin to decrease and give tone
to the market.

tBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-The condition of the
speculation In stocks became somewhat le-
tharglc today as a consequence Of various
doubtful factors overhanging the situation.
The swelling of the outward movement OF
gold to South America was one such factor
The lack OF further response in the copper
industrials to the consolidation project was
another.
Tho announcement of several new bond is
sues called removed attention TO the capital
requirements confronting the financial markets
and had a quloting effect on the speculation
Tho gold exports had but slight effect on the
mopey market outside slight hardening OF
call loan rates.
The tone for time loans slightly easier,
If changed at all. New York exchange at
Chicago slipped back TO a slight discount,
marklng a subsdence Of call for relief In
New York.
There was a decided falling off in the
private discount rate In London, causing ap-
prehensions OF a check TO the inflow OF gold
to London The impression is conveyed that
specuat tive liquidation has effected some re-
lief of the money situation In New York,
whilo the present quiet OF the speculation
In stocks keeps the money market free from
renewed encroaehments.
Some significance attaches TO reports Of
funds offered In Wall street by the dry goods
banks. from which is inferred lull In that
trade for which the high price cotton Is
given some responsibility.

DECISION INVOLVES
NEW POINT OF LAW
Right of Canal Company to Use
Slough Waters Sustained

a decision involving a new point of
law In regard to riparian rights has
been handed down by the supreme court
in the case of Turner vs. the James
canal company after 10 years of litiga-
ton. Miller & Lux. the cattle kings
were the real plaintiffs in the case and
they brought suit against the Jefferson
g. James company to prevent them
from using the waters of the San Joa-
quin and Kings river for irrigation
purposes. Miller & Lux won the first
case in the superior court of Merced
county and the present decision, written
by Judge Shaw of the supreme court.
reversed that decision.
Turner the original plaintiff, owned
land on the Fresno slough some miles
below that owned by several large
ranchers who had organized into the
James canal company and made irri-
cation bitches which depleted the wat
ers of the slough, preventing Turner
from using any of the water During
nine months of the year the slough
is fed by the waters of the San Joaquin
river and for the remaining three
months from the Kings river The
complaint stated that the waters of
these rivers were being taken for pri-
vate use.
Soon after the beginning of the suit,
about 10 years ago, Miller & Lux
bought the farm of Turner and con-
tinued the litigation. The first case
was decided in favor of the cattle kings
by Judge Rector of Merced.
The litigation in various forms has
been going on In the courts for the
last 10 years and the present decision
by Judge Shaw of the supreme court
reversing the lower courts and grant
ing the rights to the James canal COM
pany. finally disposed of the matter
and establishes a point of law which
will effect the entire state.
The attorneys for the James canal
company in the case before the su-
preme court were M. c. Caldwell of
Fresno and w. c. Graves. a local at
