Ell Paso, Texas, July 5.-General
Alvaro Obregon has received many
assurances of support in his cand1-
dacy for the presidency of Mexico
in the election to be held in July
1920
There are 500 clubs of the Par
tido Liberal Constitucionalista Lib
eral party in Mexico, with which
General Obregon has affiliated him
self. In Sonora he has, in addition.
thesupport of the PartIdo Revolu-
cion Sonorense (Sonora Revolution
Party) which was the chief support

1t is understood that Pablo Con
zales will be General Obregon's op-
ponent unless President Carranza
spcceeeds in postponing the election
as he has suggested. The failure OF
Gonzales to announce his candidacy
and begin his campangn is causing
Obregon's friends some uneasin-
ess.
Considerable feeling exists in Son
ora over the result of the guberna-
torial eection in witch the govern
ment candidate, de la Huerta, was
elected by big plurality. The troops
quartered in the state under com
mand of General P. Elias Gales and

a border printed in color which is
registered with the Secretary of State

voters. 1t follows as a matter OF
course that the man who controls
the army cortrols the elections.
General Gales recently was sum
moned to Mexico City and appointed
Minister of Commerce and Industry
in the Carranza Cabinet, but he
has since returned to Sonora with

Duggan & Bouden's Letter

New Orleans, October 1.-The early part of the week saw the cotton market mark Ing time because of the bureau report of Thursday. However, expectations were , then that the report would be extremely bullish and speculative buying was very persistent.
 The trade was certainly right in ex- pecting a bullish report, as there is no question over the meaning of such low I condition figures on September 9 at oi.4 per cent normal. However, the general expectation was that the condition report would be even more bullish than it was | and too much cotton was bought before the report The crop indicated on the figures is only 10,6e6, 900 bales, which IS l generally extremely small
 ! The market rallied well from the break
 i immediately after the report, but longs
 1 later became discouraged at the heavy 1 offerings at the advance and general sell
 [ ing followed.
 l owing to the generally disturbed condi- 1 tion of the whole world at this time, the illness of President Wilson caused great luneasiness and this added impetus to the l selling movement.
 1 The week saw little change in the labor l situation on either side of the Atlantic. 1 Taking the situation as whole, we
 would prefer to buy only on good breaks
 i for the present Yours faithfuly-Dug-
 gan and Bouden.

Fishing by Seaplane

Sportsmen of both coasts now have tried the seaplane as a fishing boat, and foupd it good, says the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine in an illustrated article. The two New York fishermen who made the first trip the other day started late, but they were first on the grounds. They passed the plodding motorboatS-consid- cred, until now, remarkably swift-mid way, and were among the schools of blue fish before their astonished brother an glers came within hailing distance.
 However, the speed alone was not the thing that established the plane as a fishing craft par excellence, but it's abil-
 ity actually to locate the fish schools fol
 the impatient anglers. by giving them the vision of great altitude.
 A party of Los Angeles fishermen founc the seaplane most valuable for the mile age it so rapidly consumed; for distances are long on the Pacific. To the kelp beds of Santa Barbara Is 50 miles. They made it easily and quickly, passing smoothly above unpleasantly rough seas and land ing on the calm waters of the weed bars from whose we'll stocked but unfrequent- ed pockets they took as many fish as they cared to burden the plane with or the homeward trip.
 A wonderful vista of brand-new spor' opens with this application of the sea plant

GRAIN ADVANCED IN SPITE OF AN EARLY
 DECLINE IN THE PIT
Oats Also Shot Up, While the Provisions List Was BOG Down to a Rise
 of soc
By Asseeiatss Prs


 Chicago, October 4.-Corn advanced in price today notwithstanding that consid- erable weakness prevailed at the outset Gossip that a bill would be introduced in Congress to restore the import duty on corn vas to some extent responsible for the advance.
 Prices closed firm, A to 1Ac net higher with December 124 to 12414 and May 122 to 1zzA- Oats gained k to fs@Ac. In pro visions the outcome ranged from BOG de- cline to a rise of Soc.
 The downward tendency shown by the corn market around the opening appared ct be chiefly to fear of Argentine compe- tition and to uncertainty over President Wilson's illness.
 Selling, however, was not aggressive and sentiment quickly changed in favor of the buying side. Activity of seal card demand for oats was the first strengthen ing factor Then came more or less opti- mistic reports about the report and still later the talk of a bill which If en- acted would decidedly handicap any ship ments of Argentine corn to the United States.
 Big sales to the seaboard lifted the oats market.

Over Private Wires
'. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter

" Is &dNiHDCil O NSU- &OhNOh 1NNNSA
 We had another little spasm today of long liquidation on a very narrow market carrying prices some 50 points decline from yesterdays closing figures.
 The bears started the toboggan yester- day on unconfirmed rumors of the death
 of President Wilson, which was gotten
 out in order to break the market so they could liquidate some short contracts sold
 at much lower prices
 The writer is a farmer, and he knows
 well that we southern farmers cannot raise cotton at this level and get out alive, therefore we advise our friends to remain clear of the short side of this contract market, as we see the situation tonight, the market is thoroughly sold out and anything favorable to the mar ket will find few contracts for sale, and there will be a wild scramble for the cotton that the pessimists sold on the death of President Wilson and the wrecking of the British government by the railroad strike.
 Our private spot advices are quite bull i ish from both the western and eastern belt, and we urge our farmer friends to hold tight to their cotton on these little dips, and they will get their price, the farmer has the making of the pr1ces and not the bears with a fat bank roll i that try to fleece the toiler of the field | out of his efforts. Cotton will be higher | Monday.-W. E. Campbell and Co.

The Metropolltan Ll1e DuiluinS, New York city, covers an entire block. and is considered one of the most valuable as well as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Though not an exact prototype, the tower was modelled from the famous Campanile of St. Mark at Venice. Of particular interest IS the tower clock especially at night, when brilliantly illuminated by myriad cleo tric lights. Occupying in height the space of three stories. 346 feet above the street this mammoth timepiece looks out upon the city from all four sides of the tower, ringing forth Handles historic Cambridge chimes each hour, quarter and half hour. After dark the time is also flashed py means of system of red and white lights operated from the top of the tower People for miles around set their time pieces by these flashes. No manual labor whatever is implied in the operation of this clock. It is worked autom atically by electric powes Automobile Blue Book

Anyone who knows Methodist
 knows that they do not approve of dancing, card playing or going to the

 Most reformers, outside the Method ists, believe the screen far more in fluential in leading frai1 humans to a life of sin or crime than the theatre.
 The Methodist, forbidding the theatre, must believe it to be the more in
 ffuential. One reads continually in the

S. R. Stewart & Co.'s Letter

New Orleans, October 1.-The map shows general rains over the southwest ern quarter of the belt, and the outlook is for generally rainy, unsettled weather with possibility of some cold weather. General rains now will delay harvest ing, cause damage to grade and quantity and stiffen resistance in spots.
 The bearish temporary shipping situa- ton is therefore offset by bullish crop and spot influences. This caused a rather heavy selling movement to be compara- lively well absorbed and the market ral- lied on the face of it
 After passing of the frunt of the first selling spell, the market developed stead
 mess and rallied to 31 cents for Decem- ber.
 While spots are being quoted lower or decline in futures, there is no actual sell ing pressure, and spot resistance is likely to increase with bad weather After ranging within limit of 5 points the market closed barely steady about 2 below Fridays final figures Interior spot markets are unchanged with a fair business done; Houston paiC g. .50c for 14,500 bales. With an improve ment in the English andustrial and ma rine situation our market could go very much higher.-John F. Clark & Co.
