Cables From Liverpool Dis
cOuraglng, But Weather
Outlook Gives Bulge.
Thursday Afternoon. Oct, "A.


Nothing but gloom was reflected
by most cables from Liverpool today
and IL had some effect on this side
for a time. but less favorable
weather prospect for the belt served
to encourage some covering by shorts
and absorption by trade interests,
which sent prices up slightly more
than 100 points from the early low
level. There was comparatively lit
tie fresh support, however, and prices
then reacted moderately, A short
while before the close another sink
ing spell was had, probably helped
by a report from Washington that
Secretary Houston had rejected de
mands from the farmers In conven-
ton there that the war finance cor
poration be revived in order to faCil
tate export of farm products. This
was perhaps more an excuse than a
reason for the renewed selling, for
when this act was in effect advan-
tage was not taken of its facilities.
Finals In New York were steady,
but irregular at a gain of % points
on December to a decline of 70 on
October. with most positions prac-
tically unchanged. New Orleans
closed steady and so to % points to
the good.
Liverpool should open points bet
ter to unchanged tomorrow morning
In the foreign market there APP
peared to be further pressure from
Manchester. whence advices were all
unfavorable. Later on ii was said
that the miners had voted over
whelmingly for a strike and that or
ders which had been withheld for 1t
TO become effective Saturday would
now go into effect. unless new pro-
phsals were made which would in
terest them, Finals were steady and
from II to 20 points net to the good
which hardly indicated serious fear
that the strike would take place.
Spots were marked down Is points,
fully middling to 1000, with sales
5000 bales, while receipts were 1000,
On this side the worst prices of the
day were made around the opening,
due to poor cables and continued
good weather. December started at
e0,0Tc and touched 20 cents before
turning upward. There was some
indication of weather turning bad
rain being reported In Oklahoma and
Texas. which stimulated covering,
The advance was interrupted at
times. although December touched as
high as 21.05c and then reacted to
20.55c. The weakness in October was
evidently due to fears OF deliveries.
The census report on September con-
sumption was slightly bearish, but
had small influence with traders.
The spot department reported
slight change as rule in quotations.
with sales fairly large only. Hous-
ton sold S.941 bales at no change,
while Dallas sold 9,14l. at advance
of 20 points. New Orleans sold 3.295
bales at no change. while Memphis
sales were 1900 bales. with quota
tions off 100 points to 2lc, which Ia
about all the adjustment necessary to
put this market in line with others.
Eastern markets reported sales very
light.

FISHING SCHOONER
CHOSEN FOR RACE
The Esperanto to Contest With Nova
ScOtiaG Schooner Delawanna-
bis -ss Gloucester Men Pleased.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. I6.-The
1shlng schooner Esperanto, crack boat of
the fleet sailing out of this port a dec
ade ago, was selected today as the YES
sci that Will represent the American
fishermen, in the challenge race with the
queen of the Canadian fleet. After it
appeared that the challenge of the Ca
nadlans would go unanswered, officials
of the Gorton-Pew Fisheries Co. decided
to contest and after looking over the
schooners tied up at the wharves here
picked the Esperanto.
The conditions stipulated by the Cana
dian challengeT's call for a race within
two weeks. The Esperanto will go into
the race almost under workaday condi-
tons. She will carry her usual stout set
of working sails with the addition of
few lighter sails that her skipper may
find available for finer piece cf sailing
strategy than are usually found necessary
on trip to the Grand Banks.
Gloucester men today discussed the
race with an appreciation of the sailing
qualities developed by the Nova Scotian
ship builders for their soft wood craft,
but man after man recalled that one
ship or another from Gloucester had
bested the dOwn-easters in rushes to and
from the banks on which both have
fshed, yet there were several who had
been on Gloucester schooners that were
forced to take the wake of Canadian
were held high.
Esperanto, which after she was
launched in 1906, led the Gloucester fleet
for several years, is of the long bow
spirit type with rounded bow. Della
wanna is a semi-knockabOut type with
short bowsprit and has been out of the
builders yard only seven years.

Republican Principle of Protection Need
ed - Democratic Free Arade o!s
tenn of FavOritism - Foreign COun
tries Must Pay Debts In Produce.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1G.-The
policy of the Republican party toward
business and need of a scientific adj
iustment of the tariff was set forth by
Governor Calvin Coolidge, Republican
nominee for vice-president, IN an address
delivered here yesterday.
1T has long been the doctrine of the
Republican party that action by the
government could and should assist
honest endeaEor to success said the
governor. THAT has been adopted IN
manifold laws and regulations. 1t IS
our party policy that these have been
adopted not to put the government INTO mo
business but to keep business IN the
hands of the people. That policy we
shall still pursue"
He defined the Republican policy to-
ward government regulation as intel
ligent direction, with as little informed
ding and direct control as possible. .,.o,
"The Democratic party has declared
the principle of free trade under the
name of tariff for revenue only for many
years, said the governor. w hat they
mean in practice is free trade for pro-
ducts of Republican territory and pro
lection for Democratic territory. Free
trade for their opponents, protection for
themselves that is tariff for revenue
only; what they sell, duty, what they
buy, free.
The Republican policy has been and
is protection as a principle alike for all
products and all sections to be applied
according to the existing conditions. 1t
is apparent conditions are different now
from any time in the past. We have
learned a lesson from the war. 1t Is
this Sufficient tariff on any product
needed for supply at home to defend
America. The war brought us into
new commercial relationship with Eu-
rope There is due to us from abroad
about $4,000. 100000. That can
never be repaid in money. 1t must be
paid us in produce or in some evidences
of capital Investment like stocks and
bonds. Even the payment of the IN
terpst has been postponed.
1T will be no easy task to balance
the needs of our country on account |
of this condition with the needs for |
our own production for the |
benefit of our labor. our capital and our
agriculture. We shall need a scientific !
adjustment. of the tariff made after
expert and. scientific investigation, but
made to discharge the duties of our gov
,rument first to all Americans, then to
the rest of the world. We shall seek for
no substitute for the welfare of all that
ia American"
