New York Financial-Irregular tenden-
cies. such as have prevailed for some tim.
past. may be seen today. The money sit
uation here and abroad Is check upon
bullish operations based on the generally
favorable position OF the other funda-
mentals. Some apprehension Is expressed
over the indications that the tariff changes
are to interfere with the activity of gen.
eral business. and this induces hesitancy
on the part of outside investors. Prices
are low, and We would look for conserva-
tive buying opportunities in the leading
active stocks with the intention to take
moderative profits. Cotton is considered
. purchase on recessions. Wheat and
corn are sold on moderate recoveries.
Announcement Is made that the British
American Tobacco Company has decided
to offer s1.o00,oo0 additional preference
shares for subscription by the stockhold-
ers of that company at par of s1. The
amount now issued of preferred stock Is
2 10o. 900 shares, which will be increased 10
100000 shares by the present offering.
Application for allotments should be made
on or before May % at the Guaranty Trust
Company or the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company.
Evans-The market continues to back

long this stagnation will continue IL is
impossible to guess. but when II is finally
broken / think IL will be by a decline in
prices.

HEAVY LOSS IN
 COUNTY GINNING

The amount of cotton ginned in Faulkner county prior to November 1 was 13,417 bales, as compared with IA, ,404 to the same date in 1912, ac- cording to bulletin received here to- day from the Bureau of Census. The ginning is not only under last years, but shows a remarkably heavy decline from the preceding period this year, during which time approximately Ill., 900 bales were ginned, while from Oc- tober Is to November l, only 2,095 bales were ginned. The decrease is due to almost continuous rains dur ing the last half of October, making picking impossible, and the present period is expected to show good in- crease.

ALLEGED SHOOTER
 GRANTED PARDON DOUBT AS TO HIS GUILT
MEXICAN IS RELEASED FROM PENITENTIARY BY GOV-
 ERNOR HAYS.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-On echo of the Jack-the-Shooter reign of terror was heard Thursday afternoon when Governor Hays granted pardon to David c. Briones,, who was convicted in Little Rock July II, 1912, of bur- glary and assault to kill and sentenc- ed to 21 years in the penitentiary.
 The pardon was recommended by the penitentiary commission, by Miss Mary A. Nolen, whose room he is al- legged to have entered, and who de- clares now that she believes her iden- tification of him was a case of mis- taken identity; by Rev. L. T omme, chaplain of the penitentiary, who says that he considers him thorough ly innocent; by Robert L. Rogers, prosecuting attorney, who now con- siders that there is grave doubt of his guilt; and strangest of all, by peti- tion signed by 1855 other convicts who have been in prison with him, and who are convinced that his imprison- ment is case of justice gone wrong.
 1t was during the summer of 1912 that the series of crimes were com- mitted which aroused the city to a high pitch of excitement, and which eliminated in the killing of negro named Brown who seems to have been guilty of all the burglaries, assaults and holdups that were committed during that time. But numerous other arrests were made, and among them David c. Bri- ones, Mexican, said to have been an officer in the rebel army, who had been in the city only few. days. He was identified by Miss NoIen as the man whom she and girl friend found in their room one night, and who fired upon them when his pres- ence was discovered. His conviction followed soon afterward, although he has at all times steadfastly asserted his innocence.

 From the present outlook it is very doubtful if there will be another fair held. The men who have been behind the old organization went into it full we'll knowing that it meant a heavy financial loss in the end, but for the time and money spent they have the satisfaction of knowing that the fair has meant an increased activity in agricultural and livestock methods and from that viewpoint has been we'll worth while. That the farmers of the. county are interested in the work is evinced by the fact that their representative body, the quorum court of the county, has for the last two sessions made generous appro- priations to help out the organiza- tion, and that they want it continued was shown at their last meeting, an appropriation of $1,000 now standing for the settlement of the premium list next year. But, on the other hand, the men who Are holding the "sack" represent less than one-fifth of the business men of the city, and they feel that unless the "big men" who are directly benefited will come to their rescue then there is no necessity for the "little fellows" to let it "all be going out and nothing comin' in" The matter now stands at that point the solution of the problem is up to the people. Can we afford to let the fair go by default?
