TENER'S CANDIDACY.

New York, Nov. 7.-When Presi- dent Thomas J. Lynch was questioned regarding the report that Governor Tener of Pennsylvania would be a candidate for the presidency of the National league, he said:
 Il know nothing about the cam paign being made against me, except what l read in the newspapers. If it is true that Governor Tener is a candidate for the office of president of the National league then l shall consider it an honor to run against him. My administration of league af- fairs cannot be so bad when they pick one of the foremost public men in the country to oppose me"

IMPORTANT COTTON
REPORTS ISSUED
Census Figures Larger Than
Expected-Small Gains
During Week

| New York, December 13.-Two inn
portant government reports have been
issued in the cotton market during the
past week. The census figures, show
ing 12,OS1,100 bales of cotton ginned
to December /, were issued on Monday
and proved slightly larger than expect
ed, but the governments estimate, pub
lished today, seemed more in line with
bullish views of the supply and prices
at the close of business last night
showed moderate gains for the week
The government estimated the crop at
13,677,000 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight, excluding linters. Last years
estimate of 19,s20O0O bales compared
with an actual yield of lint cotton ac-
cording to official figures based on
the ginning returns of the census bu-
reau of 13,703,421 bales of 500 pounds
gross, and with a commercial crop in
cluding linters, etc, of 14,103,000 bales
Two years ago the American crop was
| 16, 100000 bales, and the yield of 1910
1911 was 12.075.o0O bales. With an al
lowance of 5O0,00 bales for linters, to-
days estimate is generally considered
as pointing to a commercial crop OF
around 14,200,000 bales, which is COM
pared with original estimates placing
| the worlds probable requirements "f
American cotton this season at 14,750,-
| 900 bales.
Recently, however, ideas as to re-
| quirements have been modified to some
extent by the unfavorable character of
| trade advices and the apathetic ruling
| of the local market during the past
week, when the trade seemed to be ex-
| pecting an official estimate of around
| 13,700,000 bales, was largely attributed
| to a feeling that slackening of trade
and larger foreign crops might cause
| sufficient contraction of demand to
meet the comparatively small estimate
of production. Much of the demand fol-
| lowing the publication of the govern
ments estimate was attributed to COW
ering, rather than to any revival OF
outside interest, but there was also
some support from bullish sources, ac-
companied by predictions of much
| higher prices and of another squirt In
the demand from spinners. In other
circles, however, 1T was predicted that
| the government report would fail to
stimulate any important demand for
spots under existing trade conditions,
and that in the absence of more active
| support the market was likely to feel
the influence of increased spot offer
| ings with the approach of the new year.

BRYAN PLANNING
RECIPROCITY TREATY


washington. December 12-Secretary
Bryan said today that no negotiations
looking to reciprocity treaties with other
countries would be entered into by the
United States until sufficient time ha
elapsed to determine how the new tariff
measure will work as a revenue producer
The new law has been in effect only a
little more than two months, and Secre-
tary McAdoo has not made a report upon
the income to be derived from it.
Some observers have suggested that II
1t was impossible to negotiate a success
full reciprocity measure with Canada in
1911 under high tariff measure, it will
be more difficult further to reduce the
lower rates of the Underwood act by spe-
clal conventions with other countries.
1t is expected, however. that with the
opening of the Panama canal and the
consequent shortening of trade routes be-
tween the countries of the western hemis-
phere some of the South American gov
ernments will be anxious to enter into
reciprocal trade relations with the United
States.

The Pastor family of England have con-

srondence fills volumes. Sfr John Pastor
was one of the earliest of this family to
distinguish himself although his father of
the same name had been country gentle
man and letter writer of some distine-
tion. After the death of Sir John in 1479
his brother, the second John, succeeded
him to the title and became the chief
parsonage in the family.
John Pastor seems to have been also
difficult to suit in a wife, and was several
years in search of one. Before the elder
Sir Johns death this younger brother was
constantly seeking the intercession and
counsel of the head of the family regard
ing his marriage, often having about two
or three under consideration at the same
time. At last, in 1477, he met his fate in
the person of Mistress Margery Brews,
