 q was candidate for clerk, the first time in the days when the ne- groes voted. A certain negro, who lived close to me. had quite bunch of negro voters under his control. He had always been used to selling out during the campaign and delivering his following to the candidate offering the best price. He was a very eloquent negro, and in conversation with q white friend, especially a prospective purchaser, exercised great caution in the choice of his words and the use of language, in the hope of making the best possible impression as to his ability. l had long talk with the negro on my first visit to him. but did not come to the matter of dollars and cents, not having learned that the matter of selling was his chief concern Later on, l had a second talk with the negro. and after some preliminar- ies leading up to an attempt to secure from him promise Of support, the negro, impatient with my tardiness in making a proposition. said: Now, Mir Williams, dis matter seems to be some- what berclouded, an whut I wants you to do is ter thoroughly cence me into de minuriousness uv de whole situa- tion.'"

Over Camnhell's Wire

New Orleans, February 20.-Trading in cotton opened at an advance after the holidays. a general demand being met by only limited offerings. Buying was stimulated by good cables, the best of accounts from the dry goods centers of the country, reports of a good spot de- mand over the south generally and the absence of rains in Texas, which again is beginning to complain that moisture in the ground is not sufficjAt to allow new crop preparations to go ahead. In the early part of the session there was a rise of 24 to fl points, October being the strongest month on the board. From the high level prices receded 10 to l6 points under realizing by longs. The weather map was cloudy but dry, no rain falling in any section of the cotton re- zion. The forecast called for continued dry weather in the western half, but for rams in the eastern half. Fair and colder was the prediction for Texas. The spot demand is broadening out in an encouraging manner and now includes grades which were only recently desig- mated as trash. Points in the eastern belt say that cotton of very coarse de- scription is bringing as high as 25c a pound. Mill takngs are again on the increase, Hester putting them this last week at 235, 900 bales vs. s20S,0O0 this week ast year and 2fS 900 this week two years ago.

COTTON MARKET IS STEADY AT CLOSE There was Early Advance, Which Was Lost, But
 Bulls Are Confident

Nrw York, February 25.-The cotton market lost a good part of an early ad- vawee, but closed steady at net gain of to q points, with the new crop relatively firm. After selling at So.6Sc ca rly, May advanced to SO.9lc and closed at 30 72c under realizing.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 9 to IS points in response to the firmness of Liverpool over the local holi- days. the absence of further rains in the southwest and buying by domestic and English trade interests. There was considerable realizing around the initial figures, but the offerings were readily absorbed, and before the end of the morning active months sold 26 to S9 points net higher, with March touching S115c and Ochober 29.29c.
 Private cables reported continental buying in Livetpool with American strad- de selling at an advance, and part of the buying here during the first hour was supposed the reversing of straddles be- tween Liverpool and New York. This demand tapered off after the close abroad and the afternoon reactions were accompanied by reports that low grades were offering more freely in the eastern belt, while there were also reports that ldEIl Woih WdS 'pfosiSoSiiS SdtlSAdctoIitJ in southern southwest Texas following recent rains March reacted to 3O9Sc and October to sa.l5c. with the market closing within a point or two of these figures.
