down, on prospects of showers, by
leading spot interests and local pro-
fessionals. The feature of the trad
ing on this decline was the frequency
Of offerings in blocks of $4,000 bales
by some of the local bears, but there
seemed to be considerable buying or
ders in the market on the scale down
for European account. This, in con-
nection with scattered buying on re-
ports of continued deterioration,
served to hold the market steady
around 11.15c for October and 11.30c
for December, and when some of The
early aggressive sellers tried to cover,
the market rallied sharply about Is or
20 points during the last hour. There
is no comparison of conditions this
year and last year.
Last year the crop entered the fruit
ing stage about August l, with condi-
ton of 80, while this year the crop did
not reach this stage until about Au-
gust %, when the condition was rs
The acreage this year is Z per cent
less than last year, indicating crop
of about 21 per cent less than last
year or, in round figures, about r.
100000 bales
If there is any virtue in this argu-
ment the present price is very cheap.
At this time last year. while the world
knew that large crop was assured,
business was not being conducted with
any degree of confidence. The feed
crops in this country were practically
a failure. This year the size of the
crop is much in doubt, with the per-
centage largely in favor of a small
crop. The wheels of industry are COM
mencing to hum, the grain crop is of
a record proportion, the buying of mer
chandise both here and abroad is be-
ing conducted with confidence and
manufacturers are well sold ahead for
the first time in four years. Exports
were 7205 bales, making 1880 so far
this season, against 95,769 last year

There is no need to fit and adjust
parts to get them together right. They
are SO made that they cannot help 60
together right All bearings and bush
ings are easy to replace. There are
no complicated springs, eys, ball bear
ings or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust.
Nor are there any parts of which
adjustment is frequently necessary to
maintain good running or to conform
to varying conditions in the everyday
use of cream separator.
De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation, sanitary cleanli-
ness, ease of running and durability
but as well i'll their great simplicity.
There is nothing about the opera
lion, cleaning, adjustment or repair Of
a modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
A person who has never touched a
separator before can, if need be, un.
assemble a modern De Laval machine
down to the last part within few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly. This is something which
cannot be done outside a shop with
any other separator
The only way to properly understand
and appreciate De Laval superiority to
other separators is to look over, and
better still to try, 1912 De Laval
machine. Every De Laval agent is
glad to afford prospective buyers the
opportunity to see and try De Laval
Separator.

Visit From Col. Hersey

Col Mark l.. Hersey, U S. A, chief of the Philippine eonstabulary in the island of Mindanao, and classmate of Lieut.. A. 1. Moriarly at West Point, was recently entertained by the latter at his home on Bradley street.
 Colonel Hersey has had wide ex- perienee in his twenty-five years of service in the army, having been pres ent with General Shafter in Cuba in 1898, where he participated in the bat. tle of Fl Caney and in the capture of Santiago.
 He was also with the United States forces which went to the relief of the besieged legations in Pekin, China, at the time Of the Boxer rebellion in 1900, and remained there one year, when the troops were withdrawn.
 He has been an officer of the Philip pine constaoulary for seven years, and has been engaged in many combats with hostile tribes of Filipinos.
 Colonel Hersey and Lieutenant Nor iarty were stationed together in Arizo, ma in the early DOS and had not seen each other since that time; so the for. mer, who is on a short leave of absence from the Philippine islands, took ad. vantage of the opportunity that this leave afforded him to call on his friend and classmate.

Four electric fans furnish fine breezes and high class mo- ton pictures with good vaudeville act furnishes a fine entertainment. The feature picture of the last rites of the battleship Maine, that was shown the first of the week, was one of the most interesting ever shown. The weekend show is an especially attractive bill with q vaudeville feature that is a good entertainer. The Bradley habit Is good one to form this summer if you would be cool, comfortable, and well entertained.

Connecticut Delegation at the Republican
 National Convention

Senator C. A. Hammond returned Monday noon from the Republican National Convention at which he was an alternate delegate. In speaking of the convention senator Hammond gave the following facts and expressed the following opinions;
 Having attended the conventions in 1900, l90i, lgBS, always going by spec ial train, this last was no exception, SO, with a delegation of representative men Of the stale, train was made up 0f an observation car, diner, baggage, and three sieepefs, with nearly all pro- vided with q section, with excellent service, conductor, and one t0 act as congratulations in the convention, another in care Of luggage, with reser- vation at Congress hotel-anneX to the Anditorium-the same as provided in 1908, we may say no State delegation was more sumptuonsly provided for. Added to all, the fact that the dele gates and alternates were unit from the drop of the hat-the Taft hat-un- til the nomination was made for Taft and the result much to their satisfac. ton, the renomination ol William Howard Taft-it may be said never a party of men ever left a convention with such unanimous and satisfacto- " feeling. The weather had been de- lightfully cool, especially nights.
 The contest over temporary chair man of the convention was warm one, resulting in MT. Roots selection. And whether Root, roller, or row-the result was right Right here we wish to say that when the work of the mem- bers of the National Committee Is un- derstood, the present cry of thief, thug, thuggery, robbers, and robbery, will cause regret that any attantion was paid to the charges, and bushes will be where they can be.
 If we were sane before we left, we are sane now, only more so. We are for Taft with all the opportunity to have the facts, believing that to have turned him down for another, would have been an injustice to the presi- dent and more disastrous for the Re- publican party. We may not elect Taft, but we have hopes that the party will take the rational view and flock to his support, in fact, we believe they will.
 If any one prefers Roosevelt, and
 
 let them have him, but we insist that we will stick to Taft with no room for argument between men of strong con Nictions.
 We now have Taft nominated, have an organization, State and National, whereas, If we had swapped horses crossing the stream we would have been accused of deserting our leader, which would have caused discord, dis engagement, perhaps disruption. This Is free country, majorities must win. We stand alongside Taft, face to the front. There will be candidates for president enough to 20 around-take your choice and allow others to have theirs without the usual distribution of mud, to the end that there may be peace (among our party rather lhhn pieces.

The Democratic National Convention

The Convention opened at Baltimore on Tuesday. IL was more distraeting than the Chicago convention, the eau ses being the same-ProgressiYe and Conservative, with also like ''Peef- less One," whose claims for leadership were made on personal grounds-the true and only representative of the "Peepul," but with more inherent claims. The Conservatives won the opening contest, electing their tempo fary chairman, but after that on the first and second day Bryan was theae- knowIedged leader, and his demands were conceded, but not graeiously.
 It Is useless to try and conjecture who will be the candidates, and il is no matter who, for it Is certain to cause division that will prevent Il united vote on the candidates, but not likely an independent organization more likely the increase of votes for T.. R., who says he Is the true leader of the "peepu' and therefore must be aided. But his party even thus aided will amount to little, and will vanish after the first struggle
 The political struggle this fall will no doubt be fierce and acrimonious, but will teach the voters to enact laws that will prevent the unseemly and dangerous influences of personal ann bition.
 We hope to print the platform of the two leading parties next week, as they are likely to indicate what the country truly needs in the way of progressive legislation. Who are to be the leaders hereafter cannot be guessed unti after the election in November.

As we forecasted would be the action of the Republican convention at Chicago, President Taft and Vice Pre- sident Sherman were nominated last Saturday, and the platform adopted. Colonel Roosevelt, as he had previously announced he would do if not nomi- mated, has organized new and inde- pendent party with himself as presi- dent.
