were unanimously adopted;
Nv hereas. The matter OF statewide
prohibition will be made very promi-
nent issue in this falls campaigns; and
Whereas, Certain elements antagon-
istic to tire sale of alcoholic beverages in
any form are making strenuous efforts
to establish statewide prohibition in the
state OF Colorado by appealing to the
laboring people to become part of this
hysterical movement; and
@Whereas, The enactment OF such Co
ercive legislation is of vital interest to
the workers of our state, as it would
greatly augment the army of unem-
ployed, who are seeking to earn a live
lhood; and,
''Whereas. Believing il to be the duty
of this Assembly at this critical time to
state in unmistakable words where We
stand ON this question, that means so
much to the wage-earners OF this state;
therefore, be it
Resolved. That we, the delegates rep
resenting the different labor unions of
the city of Denver, take this opportunity
of voicing our sentiments on this vital
question. that means so much to organ
lied labor; and, be it further
Resolved. That We tender our moral
support to those workers who are now
menaced by these would-be saviors,
whose only desire. TO our mind. is to
lower the standard OF wages and lessen
the opportunity for employment by add
ing to the army of the unemployed, and
that We do all in our power to obliter
ate this hysteria of prohibition; and,
be it further
Resolved. That We request these res
olutions be published by the labor pa
pers throughout the state, and a copy
be spread upon our minutes.

PRICES FALL AFTER
 KANSAS FIGURES.
Huge Crop Prospect Sends Wheat From 7-Sc Decline
 to 3-Sc Advance

Chicago, May 26.-Notwithstanding a strong start, wheat prices tumhled to- day after estimates came that the crop in Kansas would reach the huge total of 1850. GOO. 900. Closing values were steady at a range varying, from sc decline to an advance of Ssc. Corn fin- ished ss@&c off to 1c up. oats 1sc down to 14c rise, and provisions show
 ing a loss of 5@7ifc to zoe.
 Belief on the part of many traders that Scent break previously expe-
 rienced was enough. had considerable
 to do with causing the wheat markets
 early advance. European crop advtces
 were less favorable and the European visible supply had fallen off. Reports. however, from the domestic soft win ter belt seemed more encouraging as to Hesslon fly damage.
 Attempts of belated shorts to cover led to bulge in May corn. change to excellent shipping weather in Argen- tina tended to depress other deliveries. Oats advanced to new high figure on the present upturn, but later pros poets for a break in the drought made profit taking by longs general. Lquidating sales on the part of hold CTS weighted the provision market down. Continued weakness in the hog market was responsible.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May Especial )-Another sharp advance took place in our market today although much of the improvement was lost in the last hour on heavy real izing
 The weekly weather report made very bulish showing, especially as regards the Atlantic states, since the bureau reported that the drouth was becoming serious,
 A private condition report from a west ern house was also very low and attracted considerable attention owing to the near approach of the June condition report, which will be issued next Monday.
 On the other hand there was a marked falling off in the covering demand in the near positions. The market continues largely a question of weather, but there Is now a widespread feeling that the crop has been badly retarded in its start, and this feeling must be reckoned with, since it will lead to the disposition on the part of the trade to regard very seriously any further complaints that may be received from the south.

MAY CONTRACTSU UP
 ID 94-CENT LEVEL
Heavy Realizing Later With the Close Barely
 Steady

New York. May 2e.-A further sharp advance carried May contracts up to the 14-cent level for the first time this season in the cotton market today. but heavy realizing was encountered in the late trading and, prices reacted partly. with the close barely steady. net un- changed to points higher.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of l to { points in sympathy with barely steady cables Business was only moderately active at the start but demand soon broadened owing to predictions for unsettled weather with renewed showers in the southwest, bullish private crop reports from both western and eastern sections of the belt and expectations of bullish week ly weather report at midday.
 As prices worked higher, buying be- came still more active and evidently in cluded covering by recent sellers for a reaction, as well as fresh buying for long account Bullish confidence was probably increased by the crop report of a Chicago house placing the condi- tion at only 70.9 per cent and indi- eating a decrease of 3.5 per cent on acreage.
 The market was very strong during the early afternoon with active months selling 12 to 20 points net higher and with all positions except July and Au- gust making new high ground for the season. There was active profit taking around these figures, which was prob ably promoted later by reports of ben eficial showers in the eastern belt and closing prices showed reactions of some 10 to 13 points from the best.
 The weekly weather report read about as expected and also contained mention of boil weevil in Louisiana and Mississippi, which probably added to nervousness over the new crop out look.

 Some notable changes occurred in the special class. however. the vari- ous issues of the International Mer- cantile Marine company making fur ther response to yesterdays decision of the United States supreme court in the matter of the Titanic disaster.
