Current A
Cotton

There was somewhat of lull IN the
cotton market yesterday. Trading was
on a smaller scale and prices moved
within narrower limits. After scoring
good gains in the morning prices lost
them all early in the afternoon, but
recovered in the final trading and closed
Jew points higher for the day. The
early advance was ascribed chiefly TO
fresh buying by bull traders as well as
covering By short sellers, including
Wall Street people. L was also stated
that foreign interests were brisk buy
ers. Demand was stimulated partly by
the strong upward movement in Liver
pool. where offerings against the actual
cotton showed d marked falling OF.
BUYING was also Quickened by add
tional crop damage reports, the opinion
becoming more general that deteriora-
ton was still going on. leading many
TO fear that the crop condition, instead
OF being better than the 6l.2 as given
in the last government report, might
now be under SO.

Il was an interesting and significant
fact. however, that prices for the ac-
tual commodity and for September con
tracts made only partial response 60

In fact, premiums on cash wheat were
again advanced, while the discount az
which September had been selling m
Chicago as compared with December
was reduced 20 only o cent. as com.
pared with is cents on Monday ana
roughly I cents about month ago
Evidently the predictions that Septom-
Ter would sell even with December
or at "A premium will soon be realized.
The tightness of the September posi-
ton is becoming more evident every
day. and with cash prices moving
steadily upward in all markets there
does not seem 10 be much chance for
short sellers 20 secure wheat 10 de-
liver on their contracts unless they
pay much higher prices. The particu-
lar weakness in the distant deliveries
made it quite evident that the long IN
terest had become somewhat uncom-
fortably large As to-day IS holiday
in Chicago, many holders were anxious
TO sell out and buyers were decidedly
scarce most of the time. although
there was enough demand shortly
after the opening 20 cause a fairy
sharp uDturn. on which nearly all OF
the initial loss was recovered. Re-
newed pressure, embracing aggressive
attack by bear traders, caused drop
subsequently Of 3 20 4 cents. Gables
were again lower. but the principal
item in the foreign news was the So
called improvement In the balkans.
While this statement was rather vague,
the general assumption was that me
outlook for peace seemed brighter as
result Of the progress claimed by
the Allied forces and also because OF
the alleged resignation or impending
resignation of the Greek Premier ana
his Cabinet. OF course this Afforded
another opportunity % talk about
opening the Dardanelles. Those play.
ing for a break also revived the old
story Of an embargo against further
wheat exports from this country. ASIDE
from the question Of its constitution
alitv. it. is quite obvious that such a
stem could only be taken after long
legislative battle, with stubborn oppo-
sitior from the farming districts. In
tho meantime il seems certain mat
the bulk of our small eXportab.e sur
plus will have been sold. This latter
idea should also be borne IN mind
when considering shipments from the
Black Sea. which will doubtless be de-
layed until next spring, at least.

The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-11-03
WOULD HAVE PASSED OVER
VETO OF GOVERNOR.

Governor Alexander claims to be
the father of prohibition. This is
an absurd claim in the light of the
fact that all parties were pledged to
prohibition and that the legislature
that passed the law would have pas
sed it over his veto.
Moreover, in the campaign of 1914,
at Nampa he was challenged at open
meeting to state his position on pro-
hibition and he did not do so. He
never came out for prohibition until
1t proved popular.
On the contrary, d. w. Davis, re
publican candidate for governor, has
always been for prohibition and was
successfully fighting for prohibition
in his home town of American Falls
when prohibition was unpopular.
He put the saloons out of business
in that town when 1t was not only
unpopular to be a prohibitionist
but when it resulted in serious bus
mess loss to him.
About that same time, Governor
Alexander, as mayor of Boise, was
permitting that city to run wide
open. So flagrant was this that on
his retirement from office,the Cap
ital News referred to the Alexander
regime as shameless administers
tion, saying two years of incom
potency, of buster and bluff,of play
ing fast and loose with gambling and
the social evil (under Alexander
administration have passed like {
hideous nightmare"
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-11-03
Now for the Election.

This is the last issue of the Times
before election. AS Republican
newspaper, believing that the tri-
umph of the party would be for the
best interests of the people, we have
tried through many columns of
reading matter. to show our side to
the best possible advantage.
The result in the nation and state
remains in the hands of the elector-
ate, and they have the decision in
their own keeping and it will not be
known until late hour Tuesday
night. and possibly if the election is
close, not until Wednesday or later.
The Times can only hope that the
nation, and especially Idaho and
Ada county. will roll up big mai
ority for the Republican ticket.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-11-03

Ada county needs D. r. Hubbard
in the legislature this winter because
it needs constructive work and prac-
tical laws.No one in the county or
state has done more for the general
welfare of its agriculture, and no
one knows more of Idaho's needs in
the matter of irrigation, live stock,
roads, rural credits. schools, and its
relations with the federal govern
ment along these lines.
Mr.. Hubbard has visited Washing
ton, d, C., several times in the inter-
est of Idaho matters and is in close
touch with federal authorities; is
consequently in position to assist in
bringing in cooperative work to de-
velop these public utilities.
There is no state whose interests
are so largely dependent upon intel
|ligent cooperative laws as Idaho
with the Washington offices, and the
splendid work of our congressional
delegation should be supplemented
by such state laws as will give this
