We wonder If the .Mingo county
political gang will now come forward
and attempt to hog the municipal
election which IS now not far off. We
venture the assertion il you will give
them control of the ballot boxes they
would carry off the city with hands
down. IN other words their candidates
would go through like creased

have lost their grip in this city.

NEW YORK COTTON
COTTONMARKET
CLOSES FIRM
BY Associated Press.

New York. Jan. 24-Cotton futures
opened firm at an advance Of 7011 points
in response to higher English cables, big
English spot sales and reports Of a con-
unued active demand from the continent.
There was considerable realizing on the
advance and possibly a little selling for
turn, but offerings, were will absorbed
by covering or fresh buying for long ac-
count inspired by the strength abroad,
and the market held very steady toward
the end of the first hour, with prices
a point or two up from the initial figures.
The market continued very steady late
in the forenoon and while was only
moderately active, prices showed a net
gain Of from 13 10 "A points on con
tinued covering. inspired by reports Of a
better demand for low grade cotton in
the south ana rumOrs of an early set
tlement of New England labor troubles.
Reports of a more active spot demand
from both domestic and foreign spinners
and rumors that Liverpool cotton buyers
were inquirinG for shipments out of local
stock We're followed by rather a more
active demand during the arly afternoon
and prices sold about 16 to II points net
higher. Spots closed quiet Is points
higher: middling uplands, 9.65; gulf, 800;
no sales.

Picking, Jan. 20.-Dr.> Sun Vat Sen,
the president of the republic of China,
may have a struggle to retain his
pace if the plans of the Manchu
dynasty are carried out. 1t is expect
ed that within few days a procla-
nation will be issued that will not
only announce the abdication of the
reigning family, but will decree the
establishment of a republican form of
government for China, the people to
elect a president. The belief is that
this will cause the republic to be
guarded by the people. The belief in
Picking is that if a constitutional re-
public should legitimately follow the
monarchy through an exercise of the
imperial viii the republican leaders at
Marking will recognize the paramount
claims of Yuan Shih Kai to the presi-
dency, knowing that he has great ad-
ministrative experience and in addi-
ton commands d powerful following
among both the Chinese and Man
chus. He also possesses the devotion
Of the best troops of the country and
has the confidence of the foreigners.
An armistice has been arranged to
last for a fortnight. The conditions
are that neither side win attack until
ordered.

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, Jan. 24.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of 8 to
II points. Gables were surprisingly high
on futures and told of sales of $4,000
bales of spots in the English market. This
caused heavy short covering on the first
cal lin spite of the favorable weather
map and continued adverse reports from
Eastern mills, both in regard to the
spot inquiry and the labor situation. The
market had good tone in the early trad
ing and at the end of the first half hour
of business was 10 to 10 points up.
The market was quiet the morning SEES
sion through, but buying orders steadily
found their way to the ring. Commission
houses received fair percentage Of them
which was taken to mean that outsiders
were entering the market. Gossip pointed
to spot houses choice of buyers, and there
also appeared to be an entire absence of
manipulation. At the highest of the morn
ing the trading months were II to 10
points up. At noon longs were taking
profits and their offerings cut down the
advance a little the market standing II
to Is points up.
Spot cotton steady 1-16c up. Middling
5-S; sales on the spot 1900 bales; to
arrive 400 bales.

ton of the Rock Island issues and the
weakness of Lehigh Valley drew atten-
ton. Tentative efforts to put up prices
met with little success as the rise brought
on sufficient offerings to force the list
to q lower level than previously. Lehtgh
Valley yielded 3-S to 1.64 Ia. United
States Steel was effectively supported
around &C. but the Hartman, Gould and
Hill stocks had intermittent spells or
weakness.
Denial by James J. Hill, of the report
that the Hill interests We're to acquire
control of Western Pacific and other
