Business Suspended.

ottawa. Ont, Sept. 19-With ections but a day distant, both the political parties in Canada have be- come percepubly nervous. The press and political speakers are showing inc nervous strain of the long fight and are less logical and more reck- less than a week ago.
 Today number of manufacturers suspended operations and ordered out their workmen to hear anti-recipro- city discussions in their factory yards. q
 ln Ottawa this was done by the b. B. Eddy company of which the head is w. R. Rowley, president of the Canadian Manufacturers association. The proprietors of large packing plant stated to their workmen that if reciprocity carried they will have to close down. Notices of a similar character have been issued to work men by number of manufacturers ln Calana.
 Anti reciprocity newspapers are more vehement than ever, raising the cry that reciprocity means anneNz- tion. The liberals are warning the people to vote for reciprocity and their own pocket and denounce the annexation cry as a subierfuge to misIead the electors.
 Each side claims the victory A big vote is certain. Dry weather has continued so long throughout she country that it will scarcely be ros- eille for rains to spoil the roads be- fore Thursday, and make it difficult for the rural voters to come out.
 Few wagers are being made The prevailing odds are 3 to that the government will be sustained ana even money that the government ma iority will be 30 or over.

 RECIPROCITY
CANADIAN CAMPAIGN CLOSED LAST NIGHT WITH MANY
 INTERESTING MEETINGS
Each Side Claims the Victory in One of the Hottest Campaigns the Old Dominion Has
 Ever Known.

Montreal Que, Sept. 19.--1lhe pop arly termed reciprocity campaign which has been the most bitterly com tested in the history of Canada anu has made Dominion politics as never before, matter of world know ledge and interest, was brought prac- Ideally to close tonight, when enormous outdoor meetings in the French districts of thts city were addressed by two leading and strlk- ingly contesting figures in the con test, Sir Wlfrld Laurier and Henri Bouarras.
 Both the premier, who naturally has been reeiprocity's most promr- nent exponent and the national lead CT whose unique opposition and propa ganda probably have done more than anything else to increase the number of question marks set against names of constituencies by political fore casters, were greeted with the en- thusiasm typical of the politically susceptible French eiement of Mon treal.
 That reciprocity is the supreme issue and that next Thursdays bal lot affords an unprecedented oppor- tunity for accelerating the dominons deve veopment was the reiteration Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
 That reciprocity is undesirable was insisted upon by MT. Bourassa. The Iolly and worse of the govern ment legislation for the neucleus of a Canadian navy and the necessity of perpeeating various sEisassssss and advantages enjoyed by the French speaking populalson of the comfnion was also important factors in the campaign, he asserted.
 Sir Wilfrid first spoke in the west end to persons packing and conyerg- ing thoroughiares From this meet ing he was escorted by torohlight procession to St. James Marker in the East End The premier ad- dressed this meeting in French. Mir. Bourassa's followers were recruited at d skating rink a few blocks from the Laurer meeting in the East End.

The President of the Farmers Union
Says That Cotton is Being Held.
President Charles S. Barrett. of
the National Farmers Union, gave
out statement in Atlanta, Ga, Sat-
urday relative to the advices from
New York that banking interests had
agreed to finance a cotton movement
to the extent of $5O,O0G.00O. He
said:
Il know personally and esteem
several of the gentlemen participant
ing in the conference which, it Is
said, looks to the placing of $50,O0O,-
600 in the South to promote the hold
ing of cotton until it reaches a figure
that represents its value to the
world. But I am apprised of the plan
which must necessarily affect several
hundred thousand farmers only by
newspaper reports and not in the in
tricate details essential to SO tre-
mendOus movement. 1t would
therefore be unjust to all concerned
to express definite opinion in ad-
vance Of full information"
Mr.. Barrett stated that reports
show that cotton is being held and
will be held. He said he was just
in receipt OF letter from G. E. How
ard, Secretary Of the Southern Cot
ton Buyers Association, saying far
mers are now holding a greater
amount of cotton than ever before"
