directed to this market by reason of a statement which was issued by an ex- ecutive officer of one of the great indus trial corporations. who strongly advised, for reasons which he gave, against the purchase of the stock in his company at least with the expectation that it would speedily resume the payment of dividends The effect of this statement was instantly identified since the stock of this indus trial company which is listed in the stock exchange fell off points on the day which succeeded the publication of this statement So also the stock of other ifi- dustrias which are listed upon the stock exchange fell off as a direct result of the counsel of Horace S. Wilkinson of Syracuse, the executive officer of the in- dustrial whose stock has been for some days booming.
 What appears really to have happened which has stimulated some part of the public to venture into that vague and un- defined market in which unlisted securi- ties are dealt in is the belief that on ac- count of the enormous orders which have been received from belligerent nations and from those that are neutral, as well, these corpora tions are soon to be in possession of funds which. whether applied to re- sumption of dividends or credited to sur plus account, will create new values which will justify a great increase in not only

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New Orleans, July 25.-While the cot ton market was steady enough last week, prices displayed no very decided inclination to advance or decline. The close for the week was at a net loss of 20 to % points. At times operators for a rise took advantage of the large short interest, causing much covering but the weather conditions and eNpec- tations of a bearish August condition report favored the bears.
 Efforts to find a solution of the prob lem presented by cotton exports were regarded hopefully and caused more or less buying Outside of this, world poli- tics was given little consideration Spot people reported a fresh inquiry for cot ton from Italy and futures were stead jed by reports that it was growing increasingly difficult to buy cotton in the interior at current quotations This week the market will face tne August report on condition, which will be issued Monday. August 2, covering the crop up to today. While the bears feel that the percentage will favor them and unbiased traders are inclined to look for a favorable report. the bulls predict deterioration. Therefore. it is likely that trading will be more or less restricted this week.
 The opening of bolls in the early districts of the belt and developments connected with the export situation are expected to be features of interest. Bears cannot see how the first receipts of the new crop, soon due. can meet anything but falling prices, but bulls believe buyers are ready to take the

of the Christiana harbor. and submitted
letter from Major f. n. Johnston.

city owes about S34, IA as its share to-

The necessity for the city appropriat-

that this city is about S35 900 in arrears

JANITOR Seeking

BOARD MEMBERS
In First and Third Wards
TO Aid DR.. Cooper and
Mr.. Yerger
WORKERS HIRED TO Get
Votes FOR ELECTION

NJ. S. Thomas, janitor Of the High
School, who under the present sys-
TEN is looked upon as the boss" of
the teachers and pupils in that school,
is working hard to re-elect members
of the Board of Education in at least
two wards.
Janitor Thomas is exerting his ef-
forts in behalf Of DR.. Thomas o.
Cooper, member of the board from
the First ward, and Hiram Yerger,
member from the Third ward. Dr..
Cooper is chairman of the High
School committee, whose rule has
given Janitor Thomas powers that
practically give him control over the
teachers and pupils there.
Some Democratic and Republican
workers today stated that Janitor
Thomas had been in both the First
and Third wards endeavoring TO get
workers for the reelection of DR..
Cooper and Mr.. Yerger. This state
ment comes on top of the fact that
many political workers of both
parties have been hired to get out
votes for DR.. Cooper and Mr.. Yerger
in the First and Third wards tomor-
row. Allen P. Citing, grocer at Sixth
and Washington streets, is a candi-
date against Dr. Cooper, and James
A. Brackin, milk dealer at Fifth and
jefferson streets, is the opponent of
Mr.. Yerger.
Other wards in whicn contests will
take place, and the candidates, are:
Fifth ward, where William f. Kurtz,
lawyer, and DR.. Victor ID. Washburn
are the candidates.
Seventh ward, where DR.. John Pal
mer. Jr., present member of the board,
Alfred l.. Warner, Jr and Walter X.
Clark are the candidates.
Ninth ward, where James Iogue,
the present member, Ellwood Souder
and Richard Smith are the candidates.
In the other wards but one candidate
for the office is in the field and there
is no contest.
Try to Inject Politics.
1t was said today that the Cooper
men are trying to swing the Democra-
tic organization line behind Dr. Coop
er and make a political issue out Of
the First ward contest tomorrow.
