California is again in first place as a
producer of gold. Colorado held this
distinction for some years, but in 1911
California again took the lead in pro-
duction and still held it at the close of
1912.
The United States Geological Survey
estimates the gold output of 1872 at
50! ,6Sj, 1853, decrease Of about $1,000
900, as compared with 1911. The fall
ing off was mainly in Nevada. There
was a decrease also in Colorado, Utah,
Washington and Montana. In Alaska,
Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico the
production was about normal. In Cali
fornia, Oregon and South Dakota there
was increased output.
Gold production has been declining
since 1909 and the imports of gold in
1912 were about Sl2, 900, 900 in excess of
the exports. A large amount of the
imported bullion came from onr next
door neighbors Of the North and South,
Canada and Mexico.
The silver output Of 1912 has not been
exceeded since 1892. 1t is estimated at
81, 1865 fine ounces, valued at S37,
9s2,4l4 Final figures may show an
even greater production. In some
years the output has been Of greater
value, but for twenty years IL has not
been SO large in volume The increase
is attributed TO the activity in copper
and lead mining in the progress OF
which much silver is extracted Also
the prices Of silver have been higher

After an experience in Governments
for more than 1000 years there arose
out of the chaos and disorder that FOL
lowed in the wake of the American
Revolution a charter Of liberty under
the reign OF law---the Constitution OF
the United States. This Constitution,
with its wise system of checks and bal
ances, has withstood the test OF peace
and war for l2j years, and after the
most successful operation it was de-
clared by Gladstone TO be the most
wonderful document ever struck of at
a given time by the brain and purpose
of man. And yet it is now proposed TO
strike from this Constitution the fund
amentals of representative government
and set us aloat upon a sea OF pure
democray.
Thus far the only excuse offered by
the advocates of these radical changes
in our system of Government is that
we may be made free from bosses. Is
the proposed plan of electing Senator's
by direct vote of the people better cal
cuated to free us from boss rule and
eliminate the millionaire from the Sen
ate chamber than our irregular system OF
election? Let the voice Of recent his
tory answer.
We should adhere to our present sys-
TEN of Government, which has proven
sufficiently flexible to embrace a contl-
nent and, our island possessions, which
has carried US through three foreign
wars and the greatest civil conflict the
world ever knew, and which has be-
come a model for all other Govern
ments formed since our natal day and
not substitute a form of government
without single check or balance.

OFFERINGS LIGHT
IN COTTON MARKET
Net Decline of 7 to 10 Points
After Rather Sharp
Break

New York. March 5.--After a compar-
atively quiet and steady morning the cot
ton market broke rather sharply and
10 points.
Tho opening was steady at decline
of to 4 points under scattering liquidar
ton by some of Yesterdays late buyers
who were probably disappointed that
Liverpool fully met the New York decline
of the previous day. Offerings were not
heavy. however. and prices soon stead
led up on covering. little support from
trade sources and foreign buying.
After rally to-about the closing figures
of last night, trading was quiet and the
market showed little feature until, dur
ing the noon hour, selling pressure sud-
denly developed. This seemed to come
chiefly from Wall street and houses with
Memphis connections, but for a time
offerings were aggressive, and prices
quickly broke to net loss of from 10
to 13 points in the absence of any gem
eral support. A rally of 4 or points
followed on covering, but the market
weakened again and during the middle
of the afternoon showed n net decline
of from II to 16 points, with May con-
tracts selling at II soc, compared with
the recent high point of 12.17c. Realizing
checked the decline around this level after
stop orders had been uncovered and
caused rallies of 8 or 6 points in the late
trading. There seemed to be no change

for the break, but most OF the south

Gated good progress with crop prepara-
tions and there were a number of un-
favorable spot advices from Memphis
which may have contributed to the de-
cline.
It was reported that the returns of
the National Ginners' association indicat-
ed a ginning of from 100000 to 100000
bales since January 16 and placed the
lnters at approximately $4,000 bales, thus
indicating total crop of about 100000
bales These figures were considered
about in line with general expectations
and appeared to be without any particu-
lar influence on the days trading. Late
reports indicated larger spot offerings in
the southwest and Houston was 1sc lower.

LOSS IN COTTON
Bears Drive Prices IL to II
Points Under Tuesdays
Close

New Orleans, March 5-The important
trading in the cotton market today came
around the noon hour when bears became
aggressive and applied enough pressure
to drive prices II to II points under yes
terday's closing level In the early trad
ing the market was very dull. but the un-
dertone was steady and prices even went
to ? points over Yesterdays final fig
ures. In the afternoon the market was
quiet again. and the tone was steady ON
profit taking said shorts. The close was
at net loss of to 8 points.
The market opened steady at decline
OF . to 4 points. Selling orders in the
hands of commission houses prevented a
response and the forecast promised con-
tinued favorable weather., but a decline
of to points net was the lowest in the
early trading. This was followed by q
recovery and net advance of 1 to =
points. The selling around the middle of
the day was supposed to have had its
origin in the good reports coming from
nearly all sections of the belt, the gist
of which was that farm work was making
unusually good headway, and that unless
bad weather should be experienced, farm
ers would be finished with crop prepara-
tions before planting time. Probably the
market would have worked lower on the
downward movement but for the rumor
that private crop reporting bureau was
out with an estimate of 100000 bales
glnned this last season, including linters
This was considerably smaller than the
bears looked for and checked their offer
lngs to some extent.

1t was in the last half hour of trading
that wheat tumbled.
Prices had been hardening ON account
City, and because of promising foreign
bids at Omaha. Disappointment set in,
however, that demand from Europe was
comparatively scant. Then came reports
of a sharp break in tn ecash market al
Minneapolis, where stocks had increased
10000 bushels in four days and where
leaders were said to be expecting liquida-
ton of large speculative holdings Ru-
mors of a sudden downturn at Buenos
Ayres increased the bear sentiment dur
ing the final dealings. There were also
preulctlonS OF idrBe shipments IroIn AT
gentin afor the week. Primary arrivals
today were 659,0O0 bushels. against 3l5,OOt
year ago. Seaboard clearances of wheat
and flour equalled 100000 bushels.
There was a strong swell in corn, owing
largely to gossip concerning supposed
heavy sales for export. Prices, however,
weakened after the break in wheat. Ag-
gressive bull leaders forced the shorts in
oats to cover. Higher cost of hogs car
ried up provisions. Profit taking had but
little effect toward stopping the advance.

ON MORRIS AVENUE
Fruit Dealers Expect Orange
Prices to Go Skyward in
Short Time

A brisk trade is In progress on Morris
avenue, with no changes in the current
quotations. The receipts continue ample
to supply the excellent demand.
Fruit dealers expect that as soon as
the California growers have exhausted
their stock of oranges the price of that
fruit will soar. Throughout the orange
growing country this season the crop
has fallen short and a serious freeze two
months ago in California seriously ham
pered the present crop causing in all a
very limited supply of oranges this sea-
son. 1t is the expectation of the dealers
that as the crop is nearly all consumed
with the demand unabating, record prices
will be marked up on oranges this spring.

New York, March 5.--Although trading
was not on large scale, there was ag-
gressive buying at times today Of the fa-
vorite stocks, especially Reading, Steel
and Amalganated. There was no. sign
of the heaviness which developed later
yesterday.
Bear traders attempted to bring about
further decline in the early session, but
were unable to make headway.
Prices fiuctuated for a time widely, and
then move definitely higher. There was
a scarcity of stocks around the early
range, and it was necessary TO raise bids
>ln all quarters of the list, the standard
issues being marked up to 2 points.
Profit taking in spots during the after
noon cut into the earlier gains. Some CT
the specialties moved irregularly. This
was particularly true Of the Tobacco
stocks.
Pump issues were weak. There were
no Developments upon which the days
movements could be based, speculative
conditions remaining indefinite.
Although London cables were more
cheerful, there was no foreign demand
for American stocks. and London was
reported to have sold in this market.

rates showed flrmer tendency
Copper stocks were benefited by reports
