Democratic Doings

Last Satu rday the Democrats
and many Independent Voters O
Roy met in amass meeting to dt
something about the political sit
uation here. j. Floersheim was
chosen Chairman and Irwin
Ogden Sr.. ..Secy.
AS no call had been received
for the County Convention we
were at sea but went ahead any;
way and. chose delegates. Later
when it was learned that Coun-
ty Convention had been held the
previous day we we're "Stumped1
for the time being and believed
we had slept past the Convention
and wer e cuJof the game. All
supposed that the Delegates to
the State Convention and the
Candidates for Representative
were chosen at the same time, as
has been the rule with other
county organizations and we we're
getting ready to swallow our cha
grin and make the best of it..
Later a letter from Raphae l
Romero, written from Mora
brought the information that the
County Convention had only
chosen delegates to the State
Convention at Albuquerque Aug
18th, and decided on August 31st
as the date Of the County Con-
vention for the selection of Rep
resenatives.
The Roy Caucus had selected
Messrs. j B Lusk, Irwin Ogden
Sr. Adolfo Montoya,. Juan B.
Rodrigues and ] F'loershei4n as
Delegates and Joe Vigil, Geo.
Ray Il. w. Roulware A. o.. Branch
and B. w. Sturgis as Alternates. |
It viii be decided later whether
to hold another caucus or send
these as representatives.
The Caucus also urged the
nomination for Representative
1pon Irwin Ogden Sr, and the del
egation was unanimously Instruct
ed to use every honorable means
to secure his nomination as one
of Mora County's Representative
in the next Legislature. II
The delegates to the State Con-.
vention from Mora County are
Raphael Romero, Vicente Mares,
John P. WJoten, David Sanchez,
Trinidad @. de Baca, Luis Valdez
Sacramento Baca, Irwin Ogden Sr
James T. Shoemaker. Murray
Carleton, Manuel G. y Maestas.
Hon. Trinidad g. de Baca was
chosen member Of the Democra-
tic State Central Committee vice
L. e. Alidredge, resigned.
We are advised that the Editor

Of favorable discussion and vel

the corner from Broadway.

Canadian surplus has been marketed.
Worlds shipments increased 2o0o.o
bushels over the previous week and the
worlds available supply increased more
than 10000 bushels for the week. With
all this. there is an idea that the pressure
from Argentina may be only temporary,
owing 10 the admitted shortage in the
eNportable surplus from that country,
and there Is a strong bullish sentiment in
the local market
Corn movements have been erratic and
feverish. with sharp fluctuations at times.
There was an upward tendency most OF

Coffee Prices Higher.

With one exception, every day IN the
week past marked an advance in the
prices Of coffee futures, bull support, a
better spot demand. moderate Santos re-
ceipts and a generally optimistic view Of
the situation being responsible for the
upturn. The break of Thursday was only
temporary, and was followed by incTeas-
ing bull confidence. with gains both here
and abroad on Saturday.
There is talk of caution among buyers
owing 10 the continuance Of heavy Brazil
ian receipts. but bulls express entire conf-
dence. and predict that the movement dur
ing the rest Of the season will confirm pre-
vious ideas regarding the crop, and that
the coming crop will soon be a factor.
The improvement in the spot demand,
with reports that American importers and
roasters were buyers in Santos, Influenced

"In previous years interior distributors
were carrying good supplies, which en-
abled them to night an advance by alb

done this repeatedly and successfully IN
the past. but they are not now in such a
position. and will not be until they have

therefore expect the good trade demand

Cotton Advancing

There has been a comparatively light
speculative movement in cotton in the last
week but prices have advanced and the
market as rule has been firm, with
March touching new high levels for the
movement. The consumption and supply
figures issued by the Census Bureau were
distinctly encouraging 60 bulls. as they
indicated that American consumption may
reach a new high record this year.
The close OF Friday under lot of re-
selling was at the low Of the day. but
on Saturday there was more steadiness
and another gain. For one thing spot
markets in the South have been more
active. with lower grades in better de
mand and prices stronger. Liverpool $
large spot sales also have contributed 10
the strength. 1t seems evident however,
that outside of the March option the ad-
vance has been due more TO covering by
shorts than TO fresh buying for a rise.
The decline on Friday was due TO The
bearish report on linters. but optimistic
trade reports and talk Of good export
demand made Up the loss on Saturday.
This week will probably be devoted main
ly TO waiting for the ginning report due
next Friday. and guessing as TO what its
figures will mean. Reviews Of the dry
goods trade showed more optimistic
tone. owing 10 an improved demand at
first hands, and il was said that the
mills were able to advance prices owing
10 small stocks. Fan River sales of print
cloths for the week were estimated at
100000 pieces. against nOcoo for the same
week last year, and prices showed gains
OF from l-l6c 10 sc. Local spot people
said that New England mills were MAX
ing increased inquiry for spot cotton, but
that so far little business had been pos
sible. as the buying limits of exporters
were more liberal.
