porridge" and finally, when the As
ISOLATION few days ago endorsed
certain men for office who were not
known candidates and turned down
others just as good who were known
candidates, the revolt became SO
great that the common expressions
of its lay members is that the Tax
payers Association" is dead. We don't
want any one man "Bossism."
The president of the Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION, just before it's meeting this
month, addressed letter to all can
didates, inviting them to appear be-
fore the meeting and present their
claims and qualifications in a five
minute speech. Among others who
accepted the invitation was Sheriff
and Collector Edgar Brewster. 1t
was conceded that Mr.. Brewster did
not have ghost of chance" with
the power in control of the Associa-
ton, and that his opponent had al
ready been assured of the endorse
ment, but if the Association desired
to do the right thing and carry out
the principles of it's organization it
should at least have commended
Sheriff Brewster for the splendid
record he has made.
The Association Furports to de-
crease the burden of taxation, and
yet, when Sheriff Brewster showed
them by his report that as circuit
clerk for four years he had turned
back into the county treasury four
thousand dollars, and as sheriff and
collector for two years, more than
seven thousand dollars, making /,
total of more than $1,000 in excess
of the expense of those offices, they
ignored him.
Mr.. Brewster had right to feel
that he was indeed and in fact doing
just what the Association purports
to do, but SO completely did the de-
the Association that they failed to
commend or even notice this policy
of retrenchment on the part of one
of the best public officials the county
ever had.
This policy on the part of the AS
sociation-tO boss the political situa-
ton and to use the Association FOR
political purposes rather than pa
triotism, is what has made the AS
sociation become, instead of power
for good. thing to be despised and
mistrusted by it's own members, and,
like all organizations of its kind,
can fool all the people, some Of the
time, some Of the people, all OF the
time, but not all Of the people, all OF
the time.

THE WEEKLY IRON
AND STEEL REVIEW
Developments Past Week
Give Encouragement to
Steel Mills

New York, December 6-Several deyel-
opments last week gave encouragement
to the steel mills, among them being the
placing of 1914 contracts by large tin plate
consumers in the New York market, but
at prices not generally satisfactory to the
steel interests. Another feature was the
release of more railroad equipment or
ders. The Southern Pacific railroad placed
a contract for 5000 tons standard section
rails with the Ensley mill, the Norfolk
and Western bought $500 tons from the
Pennsylvania Steel company and several
miscellaneous orders placed aggregated
coo tons. The earbuilders. too. BEN
Gifted to the extent of orders for 2OS6
cars.
Fabricating shops secured a more SUBJ
stantial tonnage, the largest orders be-
ing for subway extensions in New York.
For three sections the steel work has
been awarded by the general contractors,
all to the American Bridge company, two
sections to use 5000 tons. The largest
steel building orders placed We're 1900 tons
for the Hobart estate building at San
Francisco, 1900 tons for an apartment
house in this city, 500 tons for the Car
penter building at Boston and 1000 tons for
a warehouse at Waco, Tex. The average
of new orders was scarcely more than 30
per cent of capacity; mill operations are
now so per cent of capacity.
Blast furnace operations have dropped to
the rate of 26,500000 tons annually. For

New York. December 6.-The cotton

Fluctuations were most generally con =

sible for early advances, after which
the market eased off under realizin &
and closed barely steady at a decline
of 3 points to an advance of l point.
December was relatively easy during
the morning and showed the closing
loss other months were net / point
lower to 1 point higher
There was renewal of local liquida-
tion at the opening and after starting,
at an advance of points on December,
but generally unchanged to points
lower. active months sold off a poin;
or two. Offerings were well enough
taken to quickly check the decline
however, and as soon as the selling
slackened covering became a little more
active with January and later posi-
tions selling about 6 to points net
higher during the middle of the morn
Ing. Part of the early buying was at
tributed to spot houses but there was
no evidence of any aggressive bull
support and closing prices were several
points off from the best.
Possible rumors that offerings of to-
days cotton were increasing in
fluenced December to some extent but
reports of this character seemed to
be quite fully offset by claims of an
increased demand from eastern mills
for low grade cotton and reports from
both New Orleans and Memphis that
exporters had been heavier buyers than
for some time past. Liverpool futures
were relatively steady but the show
Ing of the spot market there was less
encouraging from bullish stand
point, as the price was 10 points lower
on sales of 10000 bales. Private cables
reported a less active demand and in
creased the selling absorbed by Ameri-
can and continental buying.
Several reports were received from
the south indicating that gins Were
closing down or about to close down

THE CENSUS REPORT
Evening Up Trading Chiefly
in Evidence - The Rise
Was 3 to 5 Points Net

New Orleans, December 6.-It was q
typical week end session In the cotton
market today. with evening up trading
chiefly in evidence. There was little TO
encourage fresh business, and both sides
were more willing to llquidate than usual
because of the census bureau report on
ginning the first thing Monday morning.
The opening was steady, . points down
to l point up. compared with the final
prices yesterday. Gables were better than
due. and weather news was unfavorable.
but against these supporting features was
rather heavy liquidation from the long
side Around the call prices were to
points under yesterdays close. Sellers
of yesterday tried to take profits at this
levd, and put prices up on themselves.
Scalping longs bought a little. and the
market gradually worked up to a level
points over yesterdays close. Here the
long side turned profit taker, and the
market fell off again to yesterdays last
figures Late in the morning there was
little doing. The close was steady at a
net rise of to points
Much gossip was circulated concerning
Mondays report on ginning. Expecta-
tions averaged around 12000,o00 bales and
on this figure both longs and shorts sp-
peared willing to close out. The fact that
the figures will be issued five minutes be-
fore the opening of this market did much
to stimulate liquidation.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. December 6.-This has
been a dull week in the cotton market.
Trading has been light and fluctuations
narrow Little desire was shown by
either side to enter into new trades OF
consequence because of the important
pending bureau reports. Much liquidation
was accomplished by both shorts and
longs.
The net results of the weeks trading in
the future market were a decline OF l
point to an advance of points. The hfgn
prices were made on Tuesday and the low
prices on Saturday. At the highest trad
ing months were % to "a points over last
weeks close at the lowest they were To
points under. The range was 27 to ~
points.
Expectations of the trade, as a whole,
were more for bullish than for bearish
reports, the coming week which led to
| covering by the short side. Bulls saw
their advantage and took IT, with the
| result that toward the end of the week
| the narrow market was somewhat over
! bought. A selling wave on Friday was
partly the result of this state of affairs.
| 1t was generally conceded on the week
end that the market held only a small in
terest, for this time of the year, either
| way.
The statistics OF the week were inter-
esting because of the way mill takings
held up and because, for the first time In
long period the visible supply sank be-
low the comparisons of the last two years,
the figures being 4,222575 bales. against
4,S11,934 year ago, and 423o,743 two years
ago. Mill takings for the week were 450.-
600 bales, against $4,000 this week last
year, and $4,000 this week two years ago
In the spot department prices gained
3-16c. middling closing at 13 S-16c. against
13c last week and 12%c this week last
year. Sales on the spot amounted to
5334 bales, against 7294 last week and 467s

TENSION PREVAILS
IN MONEY MARKET
Increased Strength Demon
strated Liquidated COndi-
ton of Stock Market

New York, December 6.-Increased
strength and activity this week. despite
unfavorable factors. demonstrated the
liquidated condition of the stock market.
Tension prevailed in the money market,
with year end settlements still to come,
but easing of money Is expected in Jan
uary. Strict limitation of capital issues
promises an accumulation which may be
expected to stimulate investment demand.
Indefinite postponement of the new
French loan, owing to the French minis
terial crisis, obseures the prospect for
unlocking capital.
October railroad earnings show a pro-
gressive decline in net, and, emphasize
that factor in credit impairment, but
strengthen the railroads argument for
higher freights. Steel trade authorities
express hopefulness that contraction in
business, while still in progress. is near
an end. Reports of increases in the num-
ber of unemployed accompany the busi-
ness contraction.
Antitrust references in the President $
message were less drastic than expected
in some quarters. Filling of new govern
ment suits weakened the stocks involved,
but We're without general influence. An
impression of a more lenient policy grew
out of the reported agreement between
government and the New Haven ON a
form of dissolution.
An important influence In the financial
situation is the probable early enactment
of currency legislation. Banks We're less
disposed to precautionary restrictions
pending the coming changes in reserve
requirements November's sharp shrink.
age In customs receipts indicated that i'm.
ports have not been stimulated as yet bs

volume of exports continues to pile VI

WHEAT SWINGS A
TRIFLE TO BEAR SIDE
Harvest Weather Improving
in Argentine Sends Prices
to 1-4c Lower

Chica go, December 6.-Harvest weather
improving today in Argentine allowed
the wheat market to swing a little TO the
bear side. Prices closed firm at the same
as yesterday to 14c lower. Corn finished
1k914c to 1s615sc off; oats fluctuating from
NC off to a similar amount up and pro-
visions lower by 2tzc to 71ac.
No great amount of realizing or lquidat-
ing attended the bearish reaction in
wheat. One reason appeared to be the
fact that the dip in prices resulted in
some export sales. 1t was admitted that
despite a period of rain in Argentine and
its stopping conditions there were far
from normal, and that serious damage
had been done by storms and black rust
Reports of wheat jointing and having
unusual growth In Kansas and elsewhere
southwest were influential in averting
bear pressure.
The market was steadicd also by fore
cast that world shipments next week
would be light. Although corn was firm
in the December option while large shorts
were covering at the start of the day.
prices later declined all around. Unset
tied weather seemed to have lost effect
as a stimulus for the bull operators. In
stead more than one of the leading hold
ers took profits on a liberal scale.
Sentiment regarding oats was decidedly
unsettled. Most of the business consisted
in cash houses changing December to
May at 8 cents discount, the smallest diff
ference so far ethis season.
