kota leasers were especially insistent
in their pleas for the admission of
the north half of the great territory
as a state. They wanted their own
state government, their institutions,
their officers, in a compact and hon.
ogeneous territory. How we'll they
foresaw the future is evidenced from
the strides Of growth that have been
made since then by the northern half
of Dakota. 1t exceeds it's southern
sister in population, equals 1t In
wealth and probably exceeds 1t In
per capita production of wealth. 1t
has splendid cities, prosperous farm
ing districts, four lines of transcon-
tinental railroad, admirable educa-
tional and charitable institutions, a
public debt that is almost negligible,
and immense resources that have
even yet been only partially devel-
apcd.
What record for twenty one
years! The files Of the Bismarck
Tribune for that period are Of espec-
ial interest. All other northwestern
news was secondary in importance
Importance beside the fate of the
omnibus bill. A few days before the
final agreement of the conferees up
on the bill. the Tribune published a
telegram from N. G. Ordway, that big
and brainy old man who was SO
closely identified with much of the
territorial history of Dakota from
the time of the removal of the cap
itol from Yankton, stating that the
conferees had practically agreed up
on the disputed details of the bill
and that division and admission was
only matter of a short time. When
the bill was finally passed, there was
a demonstration of gladness among
the members Of congress who had
been working for its passage that has
seldom been equalled, and the Min
neapolis journal struck a: note OF
gladness when 1t sah-in It's news &C.

SENSATIONAL BREAK IN
THE COTTON MARKET
Quotations for May Decline 81
Points During Day

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.@There was a
sensational break in the cotton marker
late today. with May deliveries selling
on to 1850 cents, or 81 points lower
than last night. 50 points below the
best level of the day and IS points. or
$3.50 per bale below the high level OF
the season.
The weakness in the stock marker
probably contributed to the Wall stree
selling, but selling orders came from
all directions and it looked as if there
was regular panic among the longs
following the record breaking advances
OF late last year.
1t was rumored that the cotton intar-
ests were unloading, and il was also
reported that strong Wall street
clique had been formed to denreSS
prices in consequence of the failure ~
trade demand to improve as rapidly ~
expected.
Advices from the south TO-DAY were
generally bullish as to the spot situa-
tion. but there were rumors of a.
creased offerings, which probably aided
In precipitating the tremendous lic,,i-
dation late In the day. 1t is estin,ats,,
that the big southern bulls bought f,,l1,-
10000 bales in an ineffectual effort ~,
check the decline. -

STOCK MARKET IN
WEAK CONDITION

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-Speculstive liqui-
dation was renewed in the stock market
today with much the appearance Of
urgency the opening day of the new
year. There was no IA per cent money
rate today to account for the weakness of
the stock market, and other nominal ex-
plantations were advanced.
Many of these bore an appearance of
mere surmise, the busiest of which CEN
tered about Rock Island. its recent stock
market history and the personal element
connected with it.
The personal phase of the discussion was
8 supplement to the gossip brought out by
the eccentric bulge Of 81 points in the
stock. followed by total relapse, all
within the SPACE Of Is minutes on the day
after the Christmas holiday interval.
Rumors were plentiful regarding the
scope and power of the influences being
used TO make effective the desired disap-
provsl Of the Rock Island market manage
ment. The principal selling of the day
was attributed TO the retirement of specu-
lative commitments which had been
prompted by this disciplinary movement.
More substantial grounes for the weak
ness Of stocks were found in other factors.
For one thing, the unexpected strinsency
Of the money market after the first of the
year and the absence Of investment de-
mand for stocks growing out of the annual
disbursements of profits have proved dis
appointment.
One of the difficulties encountered in
holding over through the autumn was the
fall in the banking surplus to near, the
vanishing point in November.
The wholesale shifting of loans then re-
sorted to in order TO avert deficit in
volved the assumption of obligations which
are believed TO be coming due now. The
money market facilities for meeting these
obligations are less than expected, and
liquidation in face of languid speculative
demand is necessary.
The relief afforded to the loan account Of
the banks in November was secured partly,
it is believed, by large advances from sur
plus treasury funds of the great corpora
tions. These had TO be recalled in connec-
tion with the enormous annual settlements.
The course Of events at Washington di-
vided attention with the happenings within
the financial district and were given their
share Of responsibility for the action of the
market.
Last prices were about the lowest of the
day and the tone was acutely weak when
operations were concluded for the day.
Bonds were easy, Total sales, par value,
81, $50, 600.
