coTToN REVIEW

E"
 New York, sept. 17.--Despite stren- uous efforts to put prices down. they have advanced. The manipulation in favor of lower prices has aroused sharp criticism from some of the bulls who are naturally disgruntled to find that their plans have thus far been In a measure thwarted by the determined efforts of a certain bear clique to pre- vent an advance to figures which bulls think are bound to be reached in the end owing to the smallness of the crop For several months past efforts have been made here to depress the price to 10 or Il cents, but without success.
 Bitter attack upon the bear clique by Charles c. Cowan, .who Is we'll known in the cotton trade at home and abroad, has aroused widespread atten- ton. He seems to fear that the South ern States will not .expunge their anti option laws unless New York mends its ways. However this may be, ad- vances have been succeeded by sharp setbacks through the hammering of prices and the usual and inevitable realizing of mofits to which setbacks are usually in part at least due. But British and continental spinners show nervousness about getting their sup plies and have ever since the September Government report was Issued putting the condition at the unprecedentedly low figure of 63. ' per cent.
 For several weeks the spot sales in Liverpool have ranged from 10000 to 1 ,000 bales day. MancheSterS buSl- ness has been increased. So has that of Calcutta, Bombay and the Chinese markets.
 The dispute about wages In the Bor- den mills at Fall River has been satls- expanding, James Patten. the Chi- cago operator, Is said to be bull on cotton. President Tafts remarks at Boston, striking an optimistic tone as to the future of American business has not been lost on weIl-known cotton people. They chimed Tn with their own ideas.
 Exports of raw cotton have latterly increased and spot markets have shown considerable strength in spite of lib- eral receipts. In 1905-06, the quantity brought into sight during September was 1,315,000 bales. although the total crop that year was only 11.546.000. These September receipts were only 47,000 bales less than in the same month in the previens year, so that it is possible for the rush of cotton dur ing the early months, even of small crop season, to reach a large volume. Anticipation of this has led to the formation here of a very large short interest. Meantime, New Orleans and Memphis operators have bought agr gressively for an advance. So have some Wall Street and Western opera large interest In the grocery trade. Liverpool has bought steadily.
 The bear clique here have bowed to circumstances at times. but at every opportunity has attacked the market with vigor. The speculation. how ever, Is gradually broadening, and 1t is contended that the Southern farmer

UNION IS
NOT TAKEN
SERIOUSLY

There has been some talk among the
draymen's helpers of organizing a un-
ion. as mentioned in The TINES on
Tuesday, but thus far nothing sub
stantial in that line has materialized.
In labor union circles the movement is
discussed with q good deal of levity.
while the draymen themselves refuse
to take the matter with any serious
ness. 1t is said that the helpers are
seeking to raise their scale from 25 to
80 cents an hour

agitator and prospective president

Football men in Lake county VIII
be interested to know that Ralph
Young, the captain of the Crown Point
football team and one of the star
athlets in that aggregation, will be a
Stagg pet this fall at the University
of Chicago.
In view of the fact that Iddings of
Crown Point made such a splendid
showing on the team last year, it is not
surprising that Coach Stagg should
look to the same territory for other
players of the same stamp.
Ralph Young was at one time the
individual star of the Crown Point
team and of the Lake county high
school and he is counted upon to be a
star discus and hammer man.
The people of Lake county will be
very much interested in watching the
career of Ralph Young and viii watch
his efforts with the same interest that
they have watched the efforts of 1dd-
ings. Glover and other stars which Lake
county has produced.

County Commissioners Use
the Guillotine Four
Times.
special to THE TINES. }

Crown Point. Ind, Sept 9-At the
meeting of the county commissioners
today there were four Lake county
saloonkeepers whose heads were
placed under the Anti-Saloon League
guillotine and Topped off.
Two from Lowell were Colluer and
Hull, and in Hammond John Buntschuh
and John Szirmay All Of the men in
Whiting against whom remonstrances
were filed were granted licenses.
The meeting Of the county commits
sioners was uneventful, excepting in
this particular, and there was only
the regular routine Of business done
in addition to allowing the regular bills.
The significance of this action on
the part of the representatives of the
Anti-Saloon League is that it proposes
to continue its policy of demonstrating
against every saloonkeeper whom 1t can
find who violates the law.

East Chicago, Ind. Sept. s.-Another
death has resulted from the One Hun.

cavern, which occurred last Saturday
afternoon. The latest victim of the
accident is virgilis Caterni OF Magoun
avenue the man who was imprisoned
within the wrecked falsework of the
sewer, from 12:46. when the cave-in
occurred, until AS.
At the time he was brought out it
was thought that his injuries were the
slightest of any sustained by those
hurt by the collapse. His hand and
arm were somewhat bruised. but 9TH
erwise he appeared not to be suffering.
He was bright and cheerful when pull
ed out. thankful enough to be alive
after his thrilling experience. He was.
however. somewhat faint. and in view
OF this fact and in order to better at
tend to his injured arm, it was deemed
advisable to sent him to St. Margaret's 5
hospital. Hammond which was done.
Here he failed to pick up as rapidly
as it had been thought would be the
case. and today he died.
The sisters at St. Margaret's hospital

OBJECTS To
BEING MADE
SCAPEGOAT
Ahlborn Disclaims Response
bility for Delay in Com
pleting Bridge Over Little
Calumet-Ha Nothing to
Do With Job.

William Ahlborn. president of the
Ahlborn Construction company, which
has the county contract for the grad
ing of the extension of South Broadway
in Calumet township, objects very
strenuously to being made the scape-
goat in connection with the delay in
completing the bride over the Little
Calumet river.
The county commissioners made
tour of inspection through the county
last Monday, inspecting among other
places the new bridge and the grading
of South Broadway. In this connection
it was said that the work of completing
the bridge had been delayed to a large
extent on. account of the fill on the
north end, and that before the old
structure was torn out Ahlborn was
give ma chance to complete the fill on
the north end as far as the bridge.
Says Complaint Is Unreasonable.
1T is unreas enable in the extremity
to place any blame on me for the delay
in the bridge building" said Mr.. Ahl-
born. Il have the contract for the
paving of the street and have nothing
to do with the building of the bridge.
How can I be responsible when the
contract for the bridge was awarded
two months before I received the paw
ing contract? Not only that, but of my
own accord 1 assisted the bridge con-
tractor all could to rush his material
to the place. giving him the use OF my
engine and cars during the night to
haul material from the trains.
But to say that the completion of the
bridge was delayed because I did not
complete the fill is bunk, for there is
the Michigan Central railroad on the
south and the Pennsylvania on the
north from which the contractor can
haul his material"
