There is much talk up at the capital
about reorganization of the nonpar-
tisan league with Bill Lemke and w.
w. Liggett as the shining figures to
conduct the affairs Of this institution
after they have succeeded in firing
Mr.. Townley-if they can fire that
gentleman. It would be like jumping
out of the frying pan into the fire for
the farmers of the state to get behind
this notorious pair and those who
would climb on that band wagon:
Lemke has been the chief adviser OF
the big boss and Liggett has been one
of his puppets until lately. Both are
tainted with the same kind Of mis-.
management and the farmer would
get no relief. The only way for the
farmer to reorganize is to fire the
whole socialistic bunch, elect respect
able and conservative farmers to the
office and run the league themselves.
If they are going to follow Lemke they
better bury their pocketbooks right
now where this new outfit will not be
able to find them. y

We, knew Judge Robinson was in
for it. The Courier-News comes out
editorially this morning and says that
the venerable jurist is out of date, so
that means that the C. N. has been or
dered to turn it's guns on the supreme
court justice and it has obeyed or
ders. The bunch might as we'll go
the limit while the going is good. The
people are going to put the skids un-
der the whole outfit in the next few
months. The judge yesterday sent a
letter to the legislature with three
bills he had drawn up. He told the
state legislators that the tax levies
had been raised four and half times
more than any other year in the his
tory of the state. He wanted the taxes
cut in half. The judge handed the
bunch some real facts and if they are
any good at all they will not need
calomel to clear their vision.

BULLS ARE ROUTED DURING TRADING
 IN THE CH|CAGOP|T
Both Corn and Oats Hit the TobOggan for Small Losses, While Provisions
 Were goo Off to soc
By Associated Prsss

Chicago, November 29.-Liquidation or the part of unlicensed holders of Decem Der contracts routed the bulls in the corn market today.
 The close was weak at %c to % net lower Oats finished ss1sc to 1sc down and provisions varying from sOe decline to an advance of Soc
 Corn prices turned complete somer- sault in the last hour. Previously the market had been jumping upward from the outset as a result largely of rain and snow that threatened serious delay to the crop movement Besides. higher quota tions on hogs, together with uneasiness over the coal strike and in regard to the Mexican situation, tended also to put the bears at disadvantage
 Purchasing however, was apparently much ,overdone, for when holders who had no government license began to un- load as the day approached an end, the market underwent a sudden reversal of form. In consequence values tumbled headlong and thereafter showed but little power to rally.
 In oats, as in corn, only licensed deal ears could have December trades open after today.
 Provisions were depressed from the be- ginning on account of slackness in de mand for lard.

Shannon & Cn.,sLetter

New York. November 29.-Nervous- ness over outside conditions generally, with the prospect of strike next week in the New England mills and no sign of improvement in the coal strik ke situation is holding the demand in check in spite of unfavorable weather and the strength shown by the spot markets.
 Exchange was easy, with demand sterling quoted at 400A and francs at 9.S0. In view of the depressing, influ- ences it is matter of surprise that prices hold up as well as they do, but judging from the action of the mark e the speculative interest on either side must be pretty well evened up and the trade holds the contracts which have been sold as hedges and on straddle The market looks to be in good shape to respond to any favorable news trend and if such appears we favor taking advantage of any good breaks to buy the spring and summer months.-Post & Flagg

S. R. Stewart & Co.'S ' etter

New Orleans, November 29-The gen eral news caused a feeling of uncer- tainty and indecision to be the aver age result and the market acted in an unsettled manner. The gloom expressed in the stock market review and a ru- nor that the Fall River meeting had decided in favor of a walkout Monday. on which, however. there was no posi- tive confirmation, caused a bearish leaning, while the opinion that the coal situation will become more settled un- der government action invited support.
 Thus the market declined about 20 points in the first trading, but recov- cred the loss soon after. Bullish weather was also a buying object.
 The indiscriminate purchasing of stocks. regardless of the then exist ing value or future prospects, in a speculative way could have but one result; and we have it in the declining stock market. While the cleaning process has its effect upon all kinds of securities, the better class will of course recover. To some extent the action of the stock market has been reflected in cotton, but we are not pessimistic over the outcome. Cotton will have some further advance on which profits should be taken.
 The market closed steady practically unchanged from Fridays final figures John F. Clark & Go.

Cotton Goods Review

New York. November 29.-Cotton goods have been more active and prices have stiffened. The high quo- tations that prevailed on print cloths have been restored in most instances and sales have been covering spot and future deliveries as far as April.
 Jobbers have been ordering wide and narrow flannels and cutters are be- ginning to order dress ginghams tor the fall season. Prices on fall fan nels range from 10 to 15 per cent high CT than last sales for the spring sea son, while dress gingham prices show advances of fully 25 per cent over spring values. The demand has been in excess of the possible output and mills are allotting their product to about Ja1y as an average date. Terms of payment are being made to an av- craze of 2-10-60 instead of October dating.
 Jobbers report a quickening in spot business resulting from an early and active holiday retail business and sales of underwear, comfortables blankets and other seasonable mer- chandise have been better than usual, disclosing shortage.
 Wage conferences are going on in New England, where a 25 per cent ad vance has been asked, and it is be- lieved an amicable settlement will be arrived at, compromising on a smaller advance. The yarn markets continue very firm on top levels and spinners of fine yarns are unable to supply what is wanted at the highest prices ever known

Thompson, Parker & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans. November 29.-Surprising steadiness was shown by cotton today in the face of no improvement in the coal situation, and the growing seriousness Of the relations between this country and Mexico. Shorts were inclined to even up over Sunday and their demand was met by only poor supply of contracts. On the opening there were declines of 17 to 26 points, but these losses were recov- cred and replaced by advances of to IS points above the level of yesterday S close.
 The opening of the new week is likely to be affected by labor and political news iof over Sunday. but Monday ends the
 sixth ginning period, and this may cause
 duickened interest in statistics, all the
 more so because of the nearness of the
 government annual estimate of the
 crop, This estimate should be low. and
 it may become a bullish feature of inn
 portance before long,
 The market closed 10 points off to 20
 points up, net.-Shepard & Gluck.

Over Private Wires
Duggan & Bouden Letter

New Orleans. November 2s.-While labor news was an unsettling influ- ence this week, the price of cotton ranged well above the level of last weeks close in the early sessions, re- acting later under heavy selling for both accounts.
 The coal strike was the main thing against values, and the situation among the mines is as uncertain as ever. To- day the friction between this country and Mexico became a market feature of some importance and increased the unsettled feeling.
 Purely cotton market news has little effect under present conditions and large exports continued steadiness of spots and large mill takings had noth- ing to do with the trading. Selling pressure is called up easier than buy ing power because the trade is unable to read the industrial and political sit uation and at the moment there is no improvement in sight.-Duggan &=Bou- den.

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Lette,

The cotton market opened about , points lower. It sold some 20 odd points lower on the pessimistic news over night from all sources.
 The feeling in New Yorks financial center over the European financial con- dition is very gloomy, so reports today state.
 The Mexican situation is still giv ing the trade considerable concern, reports of strike in the textile cen ter of Fall River, coupled with ru- nor of the Presidents condition being very grave, naturally holding the bulls away from the constructive side of the market, but we saw rather steady affair, due probably to the weekend covering by those that sold early in the week.
 Our market closed irregular, un- changed to 10 points down. We. again wish to say that a good sane Bpinion on this market is worthless.zW. E. Campbell x Co

J. w. Jay & Co.'s Letter

New York. November 29.-Today's $ movement in the cotton market was within narrow range and while prices imm ediately after the opening were somewhat lower on reports of a pos sible labor strike in New England mills, the advices were not taken seri- ously as the trade figures that some way will be found to adjust this sit uation. There was evidence of trad ing, buying especially of the near po- sitions. The closing prices were at an advance of about 30 points, with the undertone steady. We anticipate active trading markets for sometime
 and believe it we'll to realize on hong cotton on any substantial rally. We are still bullish and expect ultimately higher prices.-J. W. Jay & Co.
