NEW ORLEANS COTTON REVIEW

New Orleans, La. Dec. 14.-Cotton
this eel was affected. principally by
the crop estimate from the department
OF agriculture. The figures of 1890
900 bales OF 500 pounds weight, and
excluding linters and re-packs. almost
exactly met average expectations.
The close was a ne advance Of 50
to Sc points. The high prices were
made on Saturday and the low prices
on Monday. At h highest the trad
ing months were So to Sc points over
last weeks close; at the lowest they
were unchanged to one point under.
Shorts bought covers hastily at
times before the putting out OF the es-
innate on Thursday but bulls were not
heavy buyers, even after the figures
were out. The demand. was moderate
at all times but was met by only a
small volume Of offerings.
During the greater part Of the week
the ring was quiet. To some extent
speculation in cotton was restricted
by the tight money market and by the
beartsh tone OF the stock market but
prices kept on advancing, being Sus-
tanned by h opinions regarding the
governments crop estimate. Mill TAX
tnss for the week were 42s, 900 bales,
against $4,000 this week last year.
The visible supply showed an increase

vanced O~ne-Quarter OF a cent. middling

STOCK MOVEMENT

Speculative Activity Largely
DiminiShed--Late in Session
Stocks Are Offered More
Freely
lBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec 14.-Speculative ac-
tivity in stocks diminished largely to-
day and during most OF the session
movements were inconsequentia. The
tone at the opening was steady but
the market was Influenced unfavorabiy
by the ease with which homo stocks
yielded on moderate offerings. Late
in the session stocks were offered more
freely and prices Of q number Of the
standard issues were easy.
Trading was restricted by the usual
reluctance to enter upon extensive new
commitments at tho weekend, and
also by the fact that speculative senti-
ment is still confused, and it Is yet to
be shown whether the market has def
nitely recovered its poise after the re-
cent severe decline. Another restrain
ing influence was the approach OF the
Supreme courts decision today.
There was unusual activity for Sat
urday. in foreign exchange rates. de-
mand rising 40 points. The movement
may have been Influenced by unfayor-
able advices as to the European finan-
cia situation.
The effect Of liquidation in stocks
was shown in the weekly bank state
ment in a reduction of more than $780,
900 600 In average loans, although in
the actual table the shrinkage was only
$~7,735.000. Instead Of the predicted
small loss in ash there was a gain OF

increased by $4,000, OOo.

ROOSEVELT THE REAL LEADER

Kansas Progressves Sec In Him tho
Hope of the Common Man In This
Struggle.
The action of small minority of tho
state central committee OF Kansas In
adopting a snap call for a state con-
vention and refusing the demand of
the progressive Republican voters OF
the state for an opportunity to ex-
press their preference as to the presl
Dental candidate of their party
through primary, resulted In the
prompt formation Of progressive Re
publican Roosevelt organization for
the whole state. This organization
was perfected at Topeka and adopted
a platform which lucidly expresses the
principle for which the Roosevelt pro
gressiyes are fighting throughout the
country. That platform is worthy Of
the careful consideration of Republic
an voters in every state. IL says:
1--WE believe that Colonel Roosevelt
stands for the constructive progressive
policies of the country. We believe
that his policies have given new life
to our party and new patriotic impulse
to our country and new hope to the
common people. Our party had Its
birth in such an impulse given to 1t by
the leaders who brought the party into
being and who guided it to its high
destiny. The torch Of liberty that Lin
coin bore Roosevelt holds today. He Is
the hope of the common man In his
struggle for political independence as
a means to economic freedom.
1.-THE fight for these great things
finds in Colonel Roosevelt an intrepid
leader. We believe that under his lead
ership we can turn the tide Of distrust
