'PLANS FOR COTTON
RELIEF TAKE FORM
Much Interest Manifested i'm
Progress Of the Wade
Syndicate.
REDUCTION OF ACREAGE

Developments In cotton yesterday con-
| cerned chiefly the general situation rather
than local market conditions. II was
announced that "A meeting OF the Cotton
Exchange members would be held to-
morrow morning to vote on the changes
In the bylaws. II was also announced
that Walter l.. Johnson had been elected
member OF the Board OF Managers to
MI one OF the existing vacancies. No
statement came from the committee which
has charge of the syndicate plan. but 1t
is thought that the proposal In its com
pleted form will be submitted to the
exchange early In the coming week.
Considerable interest has been aroused
by the development Of the Sl50,000,000
syndicate headed by Festus J. Wade.
This proposal seems to have ELECTED more
favorable comment than any plan here
fore suggested. and there appears to be
fair prospect Of its contamination. This
proposition, Of course, has nothing to do
/ with the operations Of the syndicate Tor
! the disposal OF speculative long contracts
/ on the New York Cotton Exchange. It's
7 success. however, would have an indirect
effect upon the outcome OF local Efforts,
ns would anything that strengthened the
general situation.
Various localized attempts to give aid
to the grower appear TO DE taking more
definite aud effective form. In Arkansas.
s1r instance. a vast number OF country
merchants are taking co.ton from farmers
on the basis Of gin cents for tn" payment
of accounts and are making agreements to

Eleven and half cents a pound marks
safes in quantity by producers Transac-
lions have been booked below this level
hut they have been exceedingly small and
generally by dealers. Producers but sell
dom figure their copper sales on cash
basis. the usual method being TO compute

ference, made up OF freight and interest,
usually amounts TO about .1b cent per

cash sales have been made during the
past few days at 1lA cents pound.
which about equals the II u cent thirty

THE SUN has learned OF some fair
export business pending. which may ac-
tually develop into orders early In the
coming week There also exists do
nestle demand but not to the extent OF
the foreign queries.
Freight room for copper has become
scarce, owing to big demand for other
cargoes. This accounts for the slump In
cledrances from 100000 pounds to
100000 pounds during the past week.
Belated figures OF tho United States

contain interesting statistics not hereto

HOSPITALITY AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Visitors From The Greater Iowa Move
nent Not Impressed With Their
Reception Here.

Judging from remarks made by
some OF the visiting boosters Monday
evening they were not impressed with
Keokuk hospitality. II there is any
one thing that Keokuk is noted for
above all others +: has been her hos
ritality. In this respect the good
name OF the city has been heralded
far and near. It is absolutely essent-
ial that this reputation be retained.
While commercial conditions do no.
impress all visitors alike, hospitality
never fails to send a guest away sing
ing the praise of the community. The
Gate City does not know who was
responsible for the lack OF hospitality
to the Iowa boosters blu: feels that
there should have been delegation
of representative citizens to meet
them and that their entertainment
should naturally follow. They were
here on a movement. that concerned
Keokuk as well as the entire state.
Whether Keokuk participates in the
financial part Of the purpose does not
make so much difference but 1t does
make difference II we fail to show
a reasonable hospitality toward our
visitors. I. is important that we send
all visitors away boosting instead OF
knocking.

Much Oil Lost.

TULSA, Okla, May 5.-Over 10000
barrels of oil have been lost and the
whole line will be tied up for ten
days by the break Of the eight inch
main line OF the Gulf Pipe Line COM
pany, caused by high water in the
Canadian river at Hanna, Okla, last
night.
Announcement Of the accident was
made in the local Offices this morning.
The Fort Smith and Western bridge
at the same point went on: during the
night. A shut down Of the Gulf Line
may mean another decrease in the
price Of oil as no crude oil can be
handled from the Oklahoma field IN

Mexico City becomes more and more

this that causes most apprehension IN
official quarters as 1t is realized the

attack upon the American forces at
Vera Cruz in q last attempt to force
aggressive action by the United States
which would unite the various rae
lions against q foreign foe. So TAR,
however, General Mas has remained
quiet Reports widely circulated yes
terday that he had made another de-
mand on the American forces to sur
render the Vera Cruz water works
were promptly denied by Secretary OF
War Garrison.
Meanwhile Villa and his forces in
northern Mexico are receiving badly
needed supplies. The customs offi-
cials have finally construed the en-
barge as affecting only arms and am
munitions and food stuffs, oil, coke
and the like are now being gent across
