COTTON GOODS REVIEW.
With Few Exceptions Prices Re
 maincd Strong Throughout Week.

New York, June 4.-Prices have softened little on some construction of wide print cloths during the past week, while trading has been princi- pally between second hands and in small volume. Outside of these lines there has been little sign of weaken ing.
 Bleached sheetings, branded brown sheetings and colored cottons show no change. There have been the usual irregularities noticed at this season of the year in a few lines of fine and fancy cottons, but even in this quar- ter selling agents have made no change and the declines have occurred in second hand distribution The week passed without any evidence of in- creased interest among jobbers for goods for fall.
 Mills continue to run as full as labor scarcity will permit. Knit goods lines opened for spring have been or dered well thus far, despite the very drastic price uplift made necessary by the high costs of yarns. Export trade in cotton goods continues large and many new markets are buying.
 Prices quoted on cotton goods are as follows:
 Print cloths, 28-inch, 64x64s, lie; 64x60s, 1 1-8c; 3S 1-2 inch, 64x64s, 1-8c; brown sheetings, Southern standard, 1-4c; denims, 2. POS, in- digo, 18c; tickings, 8-ounce, 15 1-2c; prints, 7c; staple ginghams, Sc; dress ginghams, 10 1-2c.

SIX wells that have been sunk,
only seven dry holes have been
found, and while some of the
producero are not pumping more
than few barrels day they
show promise of better things.
The field is now being extend

good wells have been sunk here
with prospects good for more
producers. A strike was made
at Furnace Il few days ago and
nearly all the land there has been
leased to various operators.
There are eighteen drilling
machines in the field and all are
being kept busy. although the
bad roads have DELAYED the work
considerably.

small hand drill last week, Ike

Formal Announcement

Last Monday President Wilson
formally announced that he
would be a candidate for re.elec,
tion as President of the United
States for the ensuing four years
after the expiration of his pres
ent term. He had to do this in
order to comply with the Ohio
State law, which requires candi-
dates for the party convention
to make known their first and
second choices before Feb. 25,
and also compels them to secure
the consent of their candidates
to the use of their names. This
is the first time that the Presi-
dent has formally admitted that
he would be a candidate for re.
election, although it was gener-
ally known that his friends and
admirers had long ago convinced
him that he should accept the
nomination.

has been requested by numerous

would be a candidate, and he has

In the ring.
Mr.. Rogers is one of the best
known citizens of Powell county,
and would, We believe, make a

CHINESE PREMIER
 OF WAR SEEKS TO
 QUELL OUTBREAKS

Peking, June 3.-Marshal Tuan Chi jui, the new premier and minister of war, has announced that he has the ificers in Picking that they will CO., operate with him in quel1ing disturb ances which may arise as a result of the unsettled political conditions in China.
 Marshal Tuan Chi-jui has held a conference with his chief of staff General Wong Shih-teeng, Lu Cheng- hsiang, minister of foreign affairs; Tsao Ju-Iin, minister of communications; Sun Pao-chi, minister of finance, and Wang Yi-tang, minister of the inte- roir, in which they discussed proce- dure should the resignation of the President, Yuan Shi-kai, become inn perative.
 Foreigners in Peking have been re- assured by the announcement that Yuan Shi-kais withdrawal would not leave the central government wholly at sea. The new cabinet is inclined to conform as closely as possible with the terms of the provisional constitu- ton of the republic, which provides that the vice-president shall become ment of the president. Consequently should Yuan Shi-kai leave office, Ii Yuan-hung will probably become the chief executive pending the election of formal national assembly and the designation of a permanent president by popular vote.
