Changes Unimportant.
COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. April 27.-Unfavorable
private weather reports caused a some
what excited advance in the cotton mar
ket during this mornings earlier trad
ing, but with the official weather de-
tails to show as much rain as anticipat-
ed. there was an equally sharp reaction,
with the close easy, net three points
lower, to three points higher. The mar
ket opened firm at decline OF three
points on May. but generally from three
to SIX points higher on unfavorable
weather news Big overnight selling or
ders held the advance in check on the
call. and caused some irreguIarity during
the first few minutes but the circula-
tion Of numerous private reports of rain
In Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi
brought in outside buying orders, and the
market during the middle Of the morning
points Offcial forecasts for unset
ted weather and showers in the belt
over Sunday added to the buying move
ment. which was evidently for both ac-
counts although perhaps the bulk Of the
the week end by recent sellers.
Offerings became heavier on the adj
vance, and later In the morning the mar
ket weakened. with sellers more agrees
sive. owing to the failure Of the of{icial
weather details to confirm ali the private
reports of rainfall in eastern and central
sections of the belt. Closing prices were
at practically the lowest point Of the day
on new crop positions. Liverpool was
lower than due by considerable margin
but was supposed to have closed before
receiving the private reports of rain The
weather map itself showed no important
precipitation in the belt for the preceding
twenty-tour hours. with the exception Of
q fall OF over two inches at Memphis,
but there was a low area west of the
belt. which led to private predictions Of
rain over Sunday. The completed week.
end figures attracted little attention, and
the talk around the local ring suggests
that the trade Is chiefly interested In
weather conditions and the outlook for

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Sound Conditions During Week
and Upward Tendency at
the Closing.

LONDON. April 27.-Expanding invest
ment business with the, reduction Of
large bull account in speculative issues
created sounder conditions on the stock
exchange during the week and the mar
kets generally closed with an upward
tendency. The easier monetary outlook.
the improved weekly bank statement and
the absence OF q foreign gold demand
made discount houses discuss the posi-
bility Of an early reduction in the bank
rate. This was the chief cause Of the re-
vived interest in consols and other gilt
edged securities, even the Indian loan,
which has proved a fiasco, recovering
nearly to par, while continental bourse
advices were reflected in a steady appre-
citation OF values in foreign securities.
Some Little Apprehension.
The recent outburst Of speculation. es-
pecially in tin shares, created some APP
prehension regarding the outcome of the
fortnightly settlement, but the restric-
ton Of carry-over facilities and the shake
out of the weaker element helped the adj
justment of accounts through without diff
ffculty. Fresh activity commenced in
Marconi and shipping shares. and in the
latter PeninSular and Oriental Jumped
eighty points, while Royal Mail registered
an advance of eighteen points. The pos
sibility of increasing the output in the
Kent coalfields attracted attention to
southeastern railway shares, while under
ground stocks spurted on rumors that
the Speyers were trying to obtain con-
troll and amalgamate all London transit
lines.
American securities started badly on
politics and unfavorable crop news. The
market later developed strength under
the lead of Canadian Pacific, Union Pa
cific and Reading, but declined today,
owing to realizing induced by the disap-
pointing earnings statements OF the Har-
riman lines for the month Of March. At
the closing today Canadian Pacific and
Reading were three points higher and the
week.
Money Is Easier.
Money was easier and discount rates
were quiet today. The stock market was
quiet with strength in the specialties.
In home rails underground shares were
the feature on rumors Of an amalgama-
ton with the Speyer group. Shipping
shares continued active and Royal Mail
and Peninsular and Oriental stock adj
vanced ten points. Foreign and gilt
edged securities were steady.
American securities opened dull with
prices a fraction above parity. Later
the market declined under realizing In
duced by the earnings statements OF the
Hartman lines. The closing was dull
with prices ranging from v above to V

A Bull Moose at Bay.

For while after his nomination
Mr.. Roosevelt plunged around, charg-
ing everything in sight but he has at
last commenced to show signs OF
pain-the arrows of the enemy have
pierced the skin. He is explaining
Mr.. Perkins support, the Hartman
letter, the swallowing up of the Ten
neesee Coal and Iron company, and
his inactivity on the trust question.
His explanations do not explain but
the fact that he is now on the defen-
sive shows that he feels he is losing
ground. The rank and file of the
new party are honest, earnest men
and they cannot, when they under
stand the program, indorse the Perk-
ins-Roosevelt scheme to make trusts
permanent. That may be good for
Mr.. Perkins children, but it would
not be good for the children of the
rest of us. us.-Commoner.

Vincennes, Ind, Oct. 6.-William
J. Bryan will be the next Attorney
General of the United States. This
was the prophecy made by Senator
elect Ollie James of Kentucky, at the
opening of the Democratic campaign

buster of the confidently-expected
Wilson administration.

platform erected on a wing of the
Knox County Courthouse.
Roosevelt was denounced by James
as a trust builder.
"Taft is left-handed in both hands,"
said Mr.. James. "He has furnished
the most melancholy administration
in the history Of the American people.
He is the only President in the time of
this great Republic that ever vetoed
a bill that cheapened clothes to the
shivering poor.

Charges New York Primary
Frauds to Roosevelt Workers

| ASSsAA0 w ASVVSSSv SAV W ~@e~S@S -
Washington, D. c., Oct. 7.--Charges
of wholesale fraud in the New York
primaries by the Roosevelt party
workers were made today before the
Senate campaign fund investigating
committee.
The accusations came from Ogden
L. Mills, treasurer Of the Republican
Committee of New York county.
Mills had been called to answer
charges made by Roosevelt leaders
that the Republican party had con-
Quoted a campaign of fraud.
| Mills testimony came as a boone
rang as he backed his statements up
with records and poll books.
An additional surprise was sprung
on the Roosevelt supporters when
the testimony of E. H. Hooker, treas
urer of the National Progressive par
ty, that Charles r. Crane had given
$4,000 each to the campaign funds of
LaFollette and Wilson was refuted.
The refutation came from Crane
himself on the witness stand. Crane
denied that he had given the amounts
mentioned by Hooker.
Tells of His Donation.
He said that his contribution to La
Follette's fund was all told but $685.
684. To the Wilson campaign, he
said, he had donated only $4,000.
The contribution to Wilson's fund, he
said, came in the pre-convention cam
gaign.
Charles Edward L. Russell, Social
ist candidate for Governor of New
York, took the stand.
Chairman Clapp read him report
of one of his speeches in New York
paper, describing an alleged tele-
phone conversation between j. P.
Morgan and the White House during
the 1904 campaign.
In this Mr.. Morgan was asked for a
500, 600 contribution to the Republi-
can campaign fund. The published
report said that Wayne MacVeagh,
former Attorney General, was a wit
ness to the conversation.
Russell said that the story came to
him in 1910 from a magazine writer,
who told him that he had the story
from MacVeagh.
