their places by hard campaigning viii
not hold candle to the gentleman
from Notwithstanding that Dennis
Barrett is finally elected to represent
that county in the session for 1917-1S,
For not one campaign, but three cam
paigns, will be the unique record held
by Mr.. Barrett, if he lands. In the
county primary held last summer, Mr..
Barrett was candidate in enc of the
"gentlemen's agreement" primaries,
several of which were unofficially hell
throughout the state, and he won. BIT

Barrett must be candidate in the
regular and official way, with the re-
suit that the county executive COM
mittee ordered him to pay his fee.
Again Barrett won, but the end was
not yet reached, nor the goal line
crossed. In the regular election to be
held in the fall, Barrett will be OF
posed by republican candidate, who
is not bound by the democratic pri-
mary, there being large sprinkling

CLOSE IS STEADY IN
 THE COTTON MARKET
Rallies Follow Early Decline Which Sets New Low Rec
 ord for Movement

New York. May 27.-An early decline
 carried July contracts off to 12.66 in the
 cotton market here today, or into new low
 ground for the movement, but rallies fol-
 lowed, with July selling up to 12.s0c and
 closing at 12.7Sc. The general list closed
 steady at a net advance of to points.
 Relatively easy cables and the continued
 favorable character of weather and crop
 reports seemed responsible for consider
 able scattered selling at the opening, and
 first prices were to points lower. July
 was relatively easy, selling 10 points un- der last nights closing figures right after the call, but after showing net loss of some to points new crop months were steadied by a renewal of trade and in- vestment buying. The buying of this sort has developed each time the mar
 ket has worked below 12.S0c for october during the past two or three days, and its appearance again this morning served to stimulate covering for over the weekend. July also steadied and the general list worked about to 8 points net higher during the late trading, when some fresh buying was encouraged by reviVal or peace runors inspired by summary ol an interview with Ambassador Gerard as published in one of the continental papers, The demand was not particularly active | or general, but the market closed within l A point or two of the best. October rallied | from 12.77c, the early low point to l2slc, while December sold up from l2s2c to 13.OSc. The early decline in July was accompanied by reports that southern | spot interests had sold July contracts here earlier in the week as heoge against high grade cotton, and the slight increase reported in New York ware house stocks for the day was supposed
 to reflect an increased movement of cot | ton in this direction. The rumor was that IuJv hedges had been sold when that month was selling on even terms with October. and that the cotton might De delivered should trade buying of high grades fail to improve. private crop report published shortly after the close l indicated an increase of 9.3 per cent in acreage and placed the condition at TIA per cent,
