MARKET STEAOlES;
 PRICES ADVANCE
Cotton Shows Primer Tone and Close is 20-31 Points Higher Talk of Ultimately Higher Prices in Some Quarters.

New York, Dec. 6.-While some what irregular, the cotton market showed generally firmer tone today, with May contracts selling to 20.60c, or more than $2.5O per bale above the low level of yesterday afternoon. That delivery closed at 20.50c, and the general list closed very steady at a net advance of 20 to 31 points. The steadier tone which developed during yesterdays late trading was encour- aged at the opening this morning by the frmer ruling of Liverpool.
 Buying also was encouraged by the bullsh average of Southern spot ad- vance and after starting at an ad- vance of 13 to 22 points, the market sold about 2S to 29 points net higher during the early trading.
 A reaction carried January con- tracts off from 2014c to 20.00c during the early afternoon while March solo down from 20.37c to 20.25c, but offer IilSS were Wtll ldhtll anu lllS ilidl hS frmed up again. Houses with West ern connections were good buyers or the late advance, while there was re. newed covering, and the highest lev els of the day were reached in the late trading, with January selling al 20.15c and March at 20.40c. The close was within point or two of the best.
 The better tone in Liverpool anC the failure of Southern spot markets to show greater weakness during thu recent decline in futures seemed t be responsible for renewed talk of ul timately much higher prices in som quarters around the ring

II0YO.GEORGE WILL
 FORM A NEW CABINET
Accepts Kings Commission to Settle Ministerial ROw-He, However, Will Work in Coop eration With George.

1ondon. Dec. 6.-David Lloyd George has overthrown the Asquith cabinet and will become prime minis tor himself. The new government will bo coalition, like the old one, but prob ably without the same measure of harmonious support which attended tbe formation of the first coalition government, because it's birth has created additional factonal differen- ces.
 This result has emerged from an- other day of active and hurried party conferences and a day of intense sus- nense and interest throughout the country
 The court circular tonight, announc- ing the political audiences and con ferences at the palace today, adds:
 "The king gave a further audience this evening to MT. Bonar Law, who minated that he was unable to form an administration Thereupon the king summoned Mir. oyd-George, who at his majesty's request, under took to endeavor to form an admins tration."
 There was a prospect this after noon that the personal officers of the king might solve the situation, and many thought that the Asquith re- zine might be continued. The king called the party leaders to Bucking- ham Palace and conferred with them for more than an hour.
 Mir. Asquith and Mir. Lloyd George of the Liberals, MT. Bonar Law and Mr. Balfour of the Unionists and Mir Henderson of the Labor party were with the sovereign. It is many years since a British ruler assembled the representatives of the different fac tions face to face when they hac shown themselves unable to settle their difficulties. But no such serious crisis has arisen before to require such action by the king.

CAPITAL ROUMANIA IN
 HANDS OF TEUTONS
Railway Junction Northwest of Town Also Captured Cap ture of Ploechti May Menace Retiring ROumanians.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-(via Sayville)- Bucharest, capital of Roumania, has been captured, it was officially an nounced today.
 Ploechti, the important railway junction town 36 miles northwest of Bucharest, also has been taken.
 The capture of Ploechti, on the main railway line running north from Bucharest, cuts the main railway line of the Roumanian armies operating in the Bucharest region.
 The official statement does not indi- cate whether the entry of the Teu tonic forces into Bucharest and Ploe- chti was simultaneous. The capture of Ploechti before that of the capital would be far more serious for the Roumanians. Many military observ- CTS looked for the Roumanans not to attempt a defense of the capital to the last, expecting an evacuation in time to save the forces defending it by withdrawal on the railway route remaining to them.
 The taking of Bucharest virtually completes the conquest by the leu tonic forces of the southern section of the Roumanian kingdom embracing territory of more than 50,000 square miles.
 The capture f Bucharest marks the elimination of an operation accounted by military commentators as one of the most soundly conceived and bril- liantly executed strategical feats of the great war.
 From the hour when Field Marshal von Mackensen forced a crossing of the Danube and on Nov. "A set foot or Roumanian soil, effecting junction shortly afterward with Gen. vol Falkenhayn's armies driving through Wallachia from the west, there seem ed little doubt of the ultimate fate O the Roumanian capital. The relent less pressure of the Teutonic invading armies, with their preponderance O. heavy artillery, proved too much fo> King Ferdinand's forces, once th' Roumanian front was broken il Western Wallachia and the Danub, crossed.
 Obviously outfanked on the soutl by von Mackensens advance and or the north by further Austro-Germar interruptions through the mountain passes, the Roumanians had no choice but to fall back upon the line of theiI capital, and now have been forced tC yield even that.

FARMERS ARE IN LUCK.

The farmers of Australia are hap
py just now, in spite of the war
or rather, in this case, as side re-
suit OF the war. They have been
rescued from the hands of the grair
spectators.
The war has caused great de-
mand for wheat. A combine of grain
dealers had planned to get control OF
Australia's wheat crop, and to Sc
cure the lions share Of the farmers
In America this is the usual thing
In Australia the government stepped
in. It bought up the country's
whole wheat crop, paying the farm
ers good price for it at the time.
and promising to pay them, in addi-
ton, the extra price that it gets
when it sells the wheat, less the bare
cost of handling it. The government
is now proceeding to sell the wheat
in the open market of the world
foreign and domestic.
At first the grain trust tried to stop
it by urging their allies, the ship
ping ring" to refuse transportation
to aforementioned wheat. Blu
the steamship companies did not
dare. Martial law prevails in Aus
tralia, and if they refused to carry
grain for the government at regular
freight rates, the government could
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1916-07-08

reQuisition their ships for transpor-
tation. So the grain combine in
Australia, like the coal combine in
New Zealand, had to surrender at
discretion.
The farmers never got such prices
for their wheat before. Almost the
whole profit comes to them, instead
of most of 1t going to few middle
men; and the farmers now are open
ly saying that they wish the govern
ment would continue to sell their
wheat for them in time Of peace.
Gambling in foodstuffs IS especial
ly resented by the housewives. As
Australia lies outside Of the imnedi-
ate war zone and was not forced K
take this action, it may have beer
due in part to the fact that in Aus
tralia the housewives have vote.
