Ignite OUTPUT IN

Slight Decrease Shown-Its
Power as a Gas Producer
Demonstrated

The value at the mnics of North
Dako1a's coal production i'll 1910 was
S5a5.13a with Il total output OF %??.-
04l short tons.
According tn Edward w. Parker.
author of the chapter on coal in the
volume. Mineral Resources "i til,
United States tor 1910. the one en-
ccption to tho general increase in
coal production among the states of
thH Rocky mountain and great
plains provinces is noted i'll the out
put of North Dakota. All the coal
produced in this state is Ignite and
the GOALS OF other states except as
those Goals are brought into North
Dakota markets. Ignite does o
bear long transportation nor does it
stand long exposure. and the output
OF North Dakota is restricted 10 rcla-
lively local markets. 1t is not a
higi, grade fuel and requires special
furnaces with large crate areas when
used for steam making. but Will serve
for domestic use when other fuels are
not available or are ohtainahle only

is not II tue of high oaloritic value it

Good as IL Gas Producer.
Ignite is also an excellent fuel for
generating producer gas, and With the
Development of manufacturing indus
tries in tho state the extensive Ignite
deposits OF North Dakota will doubt
less receive more attention rs a source
of power. one ton of Ignite in the gas
producer will Yield as much horse
power in internal combustion engines
as one ton nf the best bituminous coal
will yield under boilers.
The production OF Ignite in North
Dakota in 1910 compared With lhat OF
1909 showed Il decrease OF 23.006 short
tons. or 3.i5 per cent in quantity and
Of S50.o0S. or 7.13 per cent in value.
According to the reports of the
North Dakota geological survey. nine
ty-seven townships contain i'll some
part of their area at least une bed of
Ignite seven feet or moro in thickness.
and at least 100 other townships con-
tain beds from four to seven feet
thick. The Ignite is generally we'll en-
posed along such streams as the Mis-
souri,. the Little Missouri. Knife, Heart
and Mouse rivers. The total area UNI
derlain by lignite-bearing beds is esti-
mated to be $1,000 square miles.

ASHVILLE BUSINESS
 MEN FORM CLUB

Ashville, January 1O.-(Special.) )-At a meeting of the citizens of Ashville to form a business mems league at the courthouse Monday night. s. J. Mccall was elected president and John Inzer Freeman secretary.
 A good crowd attended the meeting and the time was well spent, for several good speeches were made In the meeting by some of the leading business men. Pro- lessor S. J. Mccall presided over the meeting and explained what the gather ing was for and then he called upon Judge James l.. Herring to address the audience, which was readily done. MT. Herring told the citizens what ought to be done and what was needed. He also offered several resolutions which were adopted by the meeting. He said that he was pleased to know that Ashville had grown so osmuch in the past year and that he wanted this to be a greater year. He noted the new improvements. such as the cooperage company and the new gin and probably an oil mill to be connected with the gin.
 An address was made by Colonel John w. Inzer and some of the resolutions which he offered were accepted by the meeting. The business men are to offer a prize for the one that has the cleanest yard and street by June.
 J. H. Frazier and partner will build a very up-to-date gin here and probably a cotton seed oil mill. This will advance the cotton prices here some.
 The Ashviller Cocperage company is making great headway on their build ing.

TOMATOES ARRIVE
 ON WHOLESALE AVENUE One Hundred Crates Help to
 Meet Active Demand MANY GRAIN ORDERS
Rush of Business in the Grain Market Causes Delay in Filling Orders But the Supply Is Ample.
 Poultry Is Scarce

An important feature of yesterdays business on Morris avenue was the arr rival of 100 crates of tomatoes which are selling readily at s4 per crate.
 Yesterday was an excellent day for trading with some of the wholesalers. Numerous orders of feedstuffs received are being delayed on account of a rush of business and to add to the ample stock on hand the south Ala bama farmers are filling up the ware houses with large shipments of alfalfa and Johnson grass. Five carloads of Johnson grass and one carload of al- falfa have arrived and further heavy shipments are anticipated within the next few days. Present quotations are as follows Alfalfa, s25 per ton; John son grass. S14 per ton; 50 per cent alfalfa and 50 per cent Johnson grass, SIS per ton.
 Poultry and eggs are very scarce. Very few shipments are reaching tho markets and several orders have been turned down on account of a scant supply. Prices remain unchanged.

SLIGHT ADVANCE IS
 MADE IN COTTON Sharp Gain Occurs on Census
 Ginning Report LATE PRICES ARE LOWER Figures on Gfnned Cotton Are Consid- cred Bullish and Early Prices High But a General Reac-
 tion Occurs
LATE PRICES ARE LOWER

New York, January 10.-Quite a sharp advance in the cotton market followed the publication of the census report show ing 11,0S5442 bales ginned by January l. rather less than had been anticipated, but the Improvement was not maintained and the market closed easy under realiz- ing at a net gain of only 2Q1o points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of 1d14 points and before the end of selling 150p20 points above the closing fig ures of last night on covering and bull support.
 The ginning figures proved smaller than suggested by yesterdays reports as to the showing of the National Ginners association and the advance was further encouraged by the relative firmness of Liverpool and the big English spot sales attributed to a demand from India and the continent
 Realizing became rather heavy around 15.15c for May, however, and as soon as local traders found that the ginning figures had not stimulated outside de-
 
 ing for short account. Buying by spot people and foreigners absorbed the off, ferngs in pretty good shape during the late afternoon, but prices gradually eased off, closing at practically the low est. The census report indicated a gin ming for the last period of 3SS, ,960 bales, compared with 2S9,242 bales for the same period last year and was variously in- terpreted as pointing to a commercial crop of between 11SOo,0Oa and 2,25Oooo bales, the figures suggesting a moderate increase over earlier views of the prob able yield. Part of the selling during the day was attributed to leading opera tors on the long side.
 Southern spot markets officially re- ported early were unchanged to 1-16c higher. Exports continued large and the semi-weellly interior movement showed a falling off in receipts for the half week. lished this season, the first being sched- uled for January 23 and the final report for March 20.
 Receipts at the ports today, 35 39S bales, against 33, 3S9 last week, and 3S,75s last year. For the week, 225, 900 bales, agalnst 272,716 last week and 161, 29O last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 10,00S bales. against 70S0 last year, and at Hous- ton, S530 bales, against 457S last year.

New OrIeann Cotton Fufures.

New Orleans, January 10.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of to points on good cables and the census report on ginning up to Jan uary 1. This report was slightly be- low expectations. After the cali the market was very steady on private cablegrams from Liverpool stating tn at the continent and Bombay were large buyers of American cotton in that mar ket The census report caused no great amount of trading. At the end of the first half hour of business the active months were points up.
 Toward the middle of the morning the active months worked slightly higher on buying by disappointed shorts and prices were put to a new price of to points. Late in the morn ing the ring grew dull and under the inactivity and a desire for profits on the part of scalping longs prices sagged off. Commission houses had no or ders and 1t was evident that the out side public was taking no interest in the market. Room traders furnished the bulk of the business. At noon the market was unchanged to one point up compared with last weeks close.
 In the afternoon session the mark ct was very quiet. At o'clock prices were one point under last weeks close.

WEATHER REPORTS
 SEND WHEAT LOWER
Prediction of Rain or Snow Is
 Main Factor
NEWS IS VERY BULLIsH
In Spite of Reports of Damage to Ar genuine Crops Corn Is No Higher. Oats Are Unchanged and
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, January 10.-Predictions of rain made prices here heavy today. In the southwest particularly the fall-sown grain needs moisture, and also requires protection from cold weather. Closing figures were A@ssc down to AQssc up. Corn finished unchanged to ssc higher; oats the same as last night and pro- visions 2oc lower to 5c advance.
 In wheat there was little disposition ap- parent to sustain values. The short inter est. however. had been largely eliminated by yesterdays bulge and had not yet recovered courage. though news develop ments were undeniably bullish. The Eu- ropean visible supply made an unexpected showing of nearly 100000 bushels increase for last week.
 In this connection it was figured that the worlds available stock had become 1000 900 bushels in excess of the total year ago. Liverpool closed only a trifie higher despite the substantial advance scored in America yesterday. Cash de- mand here fell off, and to cap all, the weather forecast was for snow in Me- braska and Kansas, and for rain or snow within the next 36 hours where needed in other sections. especially Oklahoma. With diminishing prices trade lessened also in volume. May ranged from s1.ooss to s1.0O1a. closing steady at $1.011s@1. .o1A. a net loss of 1s@Ac.
 Notwithstanding sensational reports that the Argentine corn crops had suf- fered as high as 70 per cent loss the market locally kept inside comparatively narrow limits. The reason was that the trade here had been saddled with vast quantities of hedged corn bought at coun- try stations. Moreover, down-state and Indiana dealers were underselling Chi cago eastern exporters.
 May fiuctuated between 49A@50c and 503sc, with the close steady at 50AQ50ssc, a gain of Hc over last night. Cash corn was easy Mo- 2 yellow finished at 470 471hc.
 The fact that the stock of oats here had largely decreased in the last seven days was offset by the circumstances that the total remained much higher than at the corresponding time last year. May varied from 34s4c to S5c, with the latest figures 34%Q35c, precisely the same as 24 hours previously.
 Provisions sank because the cash meat trade was reported poor and hog prices were weak. As the outcome of the day g business pork quotations dropped 15@25c; lard went down 5Q20c and ribs were left at 15c decline to 5c advance.
 Future quotations were as follows:

JUDGE BLAIR RAKES
 IN VOTE SELLERS

West Union, O., January 10.-Twenty- five spenitent and self-confessed vote sellers who were waiting for him at Peebles as he was returning to the county seat from his home at Ports mouth, were tried by Judge Blair be- fore daybreak today. Court was held in the lobby of a hotel and the men thus were spared the 14-mile overland journey to this village.
 When Judge Blair arrived here he found 75 others ready to acknowledge their guilt. The days work brings the total number of those found guilty up to 142S. The total number indicted is 1648.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 10.-(Special.)-A advces from Manchester and Liverpool report a very large business doing with India, with the mills well under con- tract, and the spinners calling cotton freely from the Liverpool brokers. That market was therefore better than due and we should have opened at least s points better regardless of the census ginners' report which showed 395,0o0 bales ginned for the period and 11,oS7,ooo bales to January 1.
 On this the market advanced some IT points over last evening to meet stream of liquidation of long cotton from every part of the country excepting the Mis- sissippi valley. It was supposed that the leading long interests had taken advan- tage of the advance to sell part of their holdings, under which pressure the mar ket closed at the lowest prices of the day, though points higher than last evening.
 Tonight this market acts as If it would be lowed should the predicted rains fall in Texas. The ginning is accepted as in- dicating commercial crop in excess of twelve millions; whether this is enough for the spinner. trade will determine.
