neighbors, he declared, felt the same
way. He raised a laugh when he said:

Upon motion OF II. A. Ivy OF Sber.

The resolutions presented at the
Afternoon session recite the necessity
for prohibitionists to get together on
single candidate for governor, and
the need Of the state for an able and
progressive administration Of its az.
fairs. Then they set forth the plan al.
ready described in the foregoing.
These resolutions We're adopted with.
out debate except upon the subject
OF a basis of repr ssentation, for which
provision was made as already herein
noted.
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-10-27

such basis. 1t was the idea OF Judge
Walker that none was necessary. He
felt sure that the convention would be
composed of patriotic men, who would
do the right thing. But there were
others who didn't want to leave the
thing wide open. Seemingly, they
feared that Dallas might stock the con-
vention TO be held In this city. 1t was
decided to hold 1t In Dallas and to es.
tablish basis of representation. Four
bases were proposed: The vote for
William F Ramsey in the primary OF
1872 the vote for Wilson In the gen.
eral election OF the same year; the
vote for statewide prohibition In 1911,
and the vote for submission in the
1910 primary.
The Ramsey vote was discarded
without reason being assigned: the
Wilson vote went out on its being
shown that many thousands OF anti
prohibitlonists voted for Mr.. Wilson.
and the prohibition vote was discarded
because of the fact that many per
sons who are not democrats voted for
prohibition. Finally the submission
vote was adopted as the basis OF repre-
sentation. because. 1t was said. all sub
missionsts were democrats, and were
either prohibitionists or near-prohi-
tionists.
The convention opened with 175
persons all told. participants and
spectators, present. Later the attend
ance swelled to about 225. but in the
afternoon, when the football game
was on, only about 1876 were on hand.
Upon the only counted vote "a men
stood. Newspaper men in the unlucky
number of thirteen reported the pro-
ceedings

Wilson Rope atedly AppIauded.

Much was said about progressive
democracy as well as prohibition. and
whenever Woodrow Wilson's name
was mentioned there was demonstra-
ton. DR.. J. B. Gambrell provoked the
first Of these when he voiced the re-
greet that President Wilson didn't have
a twin brother resident in Texas. so
that this state might have a great con.
structive mind in the governors Of

that Texas should have a prohibition

thing besides bung-hole in a barrel"

on the rise New green pepper is quot~
ed at $3.50 to So.
In the poultry market hens are saff
to be very scarce. This scarcity ia
ascribed to the heavy demand in the
eastern markets. Some few days ago tho
New York buyers OF poultry went on 4
strike" and refused to accept shipments
The so-called strike had all the features
OF real boycott and the merchants would
not allow hucksters to sell chickens.
1t Is claimed that two peddlers tried I'd
sell poultry, but that they were beaten
and their chickens turned loose.
Local dealers say that while the
Strike" was in operation so to rs cars
of hens We're sidetracked In New York.
Philadelphia, Boston and other large
eastern markets had a demand for all
these cars, however, and the southern
markets could not get any of them.
The buyers in New York have settled
their differences with the sellers ana
are now accepting all consignments.
The fish market yesterday was re,
ported in normal condition EXCEPT that
the demand was not so heavy as IN
might have been. Prices are firm.
The grain market Is in fine condition
and it is said that there is O. strong
likelihood of an advance in the near
future. The demand Is excellent and
the supply in keeping.
Meats have been on the rise for a
week past. but the quotations yester-
day We're lowered by about 121sc to

Advance of a Shade to 3-8c

Rains in Kansas

about a rally today in wheat. Closing

@1hc up. oats finished with a gain
of B@hc, and provisions off IA to

notwithstanding that downpours were
general in the dry sections of Kansas,
the moisture failed to check reports of
wheat damage from hot winds and pre-
mature ripening. At first, however, the
rains formed a bearish influence too
great to be withstood, and the market
lurched heavily heavily downward. In
jury by the extreme heat in the last
day of May had not been overcome by
the rains.
Buying orders from millers gave
fresh courage to the bulls. In addi-
ton. the worlds available supply to-
tails showed decrease of $3.50, 900
bushels in spite of a liberal gain in
European stocks and in the amount
afloat. Previous sellers turned to the
buying side, and there was a rapid up
turn when once 1t began to appear that
the market had been oversold The
Seaboard sent word that 35 loads had
been taken for export.
Total clearances of wheat and flour
today equalled S65,000 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts of wheat were $4,000
bushels year ago 293,000 bushels.
Good demand from shippers and in
dustries hoisted corn.A The receipts
though liberal were needed to apply on
market absorbed heavy offerings and
then evinced some disposition to bulge

Plenty of hogs here and at other CEN
ters made provisions weak. Further
more warehouse stocks on hand here

| New York, June 3.-The cotton market

net decline of from to 10 points.
The opening was steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points on a
renewal of yesterdays covering move
ment and on the response to relatively
steady cables. Active months sold to 5

but there seemed to be no aggressive

Weather advices were considered favor

EUROPEAN TRADING
FIGURES LARGELY
London Purchaser of Cana
dian and Union Pacific
Stocks Early

New York, June 3.-Renewed liquida-
tion of dividend paying stocks, some of
which were under heavy pressure earl
Ter In the year, and the unfavorable
tenor of the governments weekly
weather report put check on the i'm
proving tendency displayed by the mar
ket during the early trading today.
For a time after the opening the tone
was more cheerful and some progress
was made toward a recovery from yes
terday's sharp decline. Union Pacific
and Canadian Pacific, the weak features
of the preceding day, moved up strong
1y at the outset. and the whole list pre-
sented a better front. In the last half
of the day, the market worked down.
ward again with active selling in the
final hour which carried prices down
around yesterdays low point
The weather report, showing a serious
deficiency in precipitation over GER
tain sections of the south and middle
west and consequently unfavorable
crop conditions, was one of the main
factors in the increased heayiness of
the market late in the day The down
ton in such dividend paying stocks as
Northern Pacific, which dropped three
points to the lowest price since the
1907 panic spelting which lost three
points, Illinois Central and Baltimore
and Ohio. The decline in active shares
continued and about 80 stocks of all
kinds touched new low levels for the
year.
European trading again figured
largely in the course of the market.
London, which sold stocks here heavi-
ly. yesterday bought Canadian Pacific
and Union Pacific early today. Later
the foreign traders reversed their no.
sition, and arbitrage brokers said there
was balance of sales for foreign ac-
count at the end of the day.
Weakness of Smelling, which was un-
usally active, was associated with va
rious rumors purporting to forecast
new prosecutions by the government
under the Sherman law. The heavi-
ness of the London copper market was
another unfavorable influence. De-
mand for metal in domestic markets is
said to be small. In view of the strong
technical position of the market sellers
are unwilling to shade prices, and few
bids are being received at current uuo-
tations.
Bonds Were under pressure. The to-
tai sales, par value, $2,060,000
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.
