has some advantages that the primary
lacks The primary can never bring
parties together can never produce

in theory the convention is IDEAL Il

This is the theory % the convention.
In minority parties we see that the

sanely on the platform and policy Of

transformed from consulting. think

Most OF the troubles of conventions
arise from the fact that delegates go
up as servants OF certain candidates.

If The law forbade instructions Of any

Conventions thus formed would nine
times out Of ten give a better result

NEW YORK, Sept ia general buy
ing wave prevailed upon the cotton mar
ket at the opening, causing prices to
open to points above last nights close,
chiefly the result of better cables. The
weather conditions over the belt last
night were perfect. After the call the
market became unsettled on the govern
ment predicting warmer weather in the
northern belt and prices sagged few
points from the early range
During the late forenoon trading there
became a general selling wave by com
mission houses and the ring crowd, led
by Schill, with no support, hammered it
down 10 points. This selling movement
was started on rumors that the estimate
of Habersham King would be 16,000,000
bales. This, however, has not been con-
firmed and prices during the afternoon
session sagged about the low ebb of the
day. The selling continued general while
the buying was scattered and moderate.
Spot demand reported good throughout
the South. and there is said to be some
good mill buying here.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices showing a decline of to 4
points from the previous close

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 19.-Liverpool
continues firmer than expected showing
increased spot sales. Total today 10000
bales at points higher quotations. Flu
lures were about points better than due.
Bullish intentions and operations in New
York continue the controlling factor in
our market Anticipation of a bullish Oc-
tober bureau, crop deterioration during
the brief hot spell and the possibility of
future storm or frost damage seem to
be the basis for the bulling.
A particular feature there is the widen
ing of December from October There is
considerable straddle interest here, long
of October against short in Liverpool, and
as no profitable liquidation of these strad-
dies has been possible so far, and as we
are getting close to October notice day.
october longs are liquidating or shifting
to longs in December, causing the
strength of the latter position.
The market worked up to 11.75 for De-
cember and trading settled around lilo
for that optior.
Spot brokers say that spot people
bought some cotton yesterday against
