county would indicate that L. E.
Davis of Bayfield, was elected
Judge of the Third Municipal
Court Of Bayfield, County over O.
Flanders by a big majority. In
this city Davis had 215 votes to
85 for Flanders. The contest
was not very spirited one. the
candidates depending on their
friends throughout the country
for their support and there was
little interest taken.
ISUPREME COURT JUSTICE
The vote in the city of Wash
burn on Justice of the Supreme
Court was widely scattered with
Belden of Racine carrying the
city by a narrow margin over
Walter Corrigan of Milwaukee.
Few voters gave the Judicial
election any consideration and
there was no interest whatever
in the contest. A few individ-
uals did little personal work
for their favorite candidates.
The vote in the city was as fol-
lows: Belden lis, Corrigan 107,
Eschweilder q, Fowler IS, Turn
er SO.
LaFOLLETTE DELEGATES
WIN
The ballots for presidential
delegates proved quite a puzzle
to a number Of voters as the
marking on the ballots would in
dicate, with LaFollette delegates
carrying the city and county by
a small margin.
| Some of the voters did not un-
derstand just how to vote and
the man heading the ticket
usually received the largest
number of votes. Some voters
would mark their ballots with
candidates of both factions,
while the heads of the ticket
ran way ahead of the balance of
the ticket.

Many Of the mora important railway
shares developed a declining tendency
v.sterday. This provided about the
cnly new feature IN the market Al
though prices hardened a bit toward
the close. az one time in the day
losses OF a fraction 10 points were
common in the group. New Haven de-
elined points on light selling, St
Paul went down IL points, while
losses at the bottom in Union Pacific,
Atehson, Northern Pacific and Balti-
more Ohio averaged half point
Reading. after a decline Of more than
q point. rallied The Street had a
combination OF three factors TO fall
back upon 20 explain the action Of the
rails. There were <he reports of for
eign selling, the unfavorable news on
the railway labor situation, and the
bearish crop reports. Curiously
enough the stock market following is
beginning to recognize the importance
Of the crops for the first time this sea-
son, and while reports of the profes-
sional crop killers must be discounted,
Il is admitted that the outlook is not
80 favorable as il might be.

MAKES
SHARP ADVANCE
Up Is to II Points on Reports
Received of Crop
Conditions.

Bullish crop news from the Eastern
belt had a strong effect on the cotton
market yesterday and prices after mid
day made sharp gains, showing Is 70 II
points net advance at one time in the
early afternoon. Emphasis was given
to the character Of private crop reports
which have been coming in from the
Eastern belt for over two weeks by the
condition figure of Southern crop re-
porting association, which, according
10 rumor, had been reduced to 74.S,
representing a decline of 6.3 points
from the last government report, on
July l.
Reports to q local trade paper in
which the condition in Alabama was
reduced 10 points and in Mississippi
6 to s points during the past month
also tended TO confirm the unfavorable
advices. Excessive rains and oversows
caused much of the damage mentioned
in the last named report and 1t was
further said that the crop was heavily
IN grass and poorly cultivated, whlie
boil weevils were very numerous, al
though damage thus far has been light.
A notable feature Of the trade after
midday was the purchase of cotton by
large spot houses, partly credited TO
Liverpool, and by both Wall Street and
uptown interests, the latter appearing
in the market for the first time on any
considerable scale in long while.
The buying continued up TO the last
hour, when around 1880 for January
it met some heavy realizing and selling,
which in some quarters was credited 70
the South, the effect being TO check the
upward trend somewhat, although the
close was steady at - TO IS points net
advance and within q point or so OF top
for the day. II was the general belief
that the coming government report
would show a considerable drop in con-
dition, some figuring q decline Of about
2iz points, which would bring it down
around 7S.6.
In reports from South Carolina yes
terday il was estimated that the state
would not make million-bale crop.
The cotton has grown rank, with fields
full Of grass, it was said, and fertillz-
ers washed from the soil. Much the
same sort of news came from Georgia,
where it was said that in the whole
section around Columbus not over half
a crop was possible under best con-
dtions from now on. On the other
hand, some Of the Alabama advices
were 70 the effect that the weather had
been more favorable than at any time
during the month, although crops are
grassy and in need of cultivation.
Texas news was quite favorable, pri-
vate reports generally showing exceI-
lent progress and in some sections
stating that the plant is loaded TO us
fullest capacities with squares. Dolls
and blooms.
A fairly good movement is expected,
according to reports, by August 10 70
Is. Southern spot markets, as Of
hcially reported, were unchanged. Ex-
ports for the day were 23,9lO oales
and for the season 5,957,Ol2 oales'
against S,32S,40l last year.

StagnatiOn in Bonds.

Bond men report stagnation in the
Investment field. Apparently the bond
market has become afflicted with the
same ailment that has slowed down
stocks. No one seems to be in the
market for bonds and business has
fallen OF so decidedly that some houses
ue reported 70 have called in their

o. the financial doctors attribute this
condition to a congestion of securi-
