Oliver Lafuze, joint representative
from Wayne and Union counties in the
Indiana general assembly. is a candi-
date for denomination, he said Mon
day.
Robert G. Tucker, in an article In
the Cincinnati Enquirer. Sunday,
scouts the idea that Senator Watson's
friends have agreed to "lie down and
roll over" at the request of Governor
Goodrich and Chairman Hays.
Says Watson Didn't Agree.
The correspondent asserts that Sen
ator Watson and his friends did not
agree at the harmony meeting" to a
plan that virtually would eliminate
the senator from a voice in the state
organization.
John Owen, who has charge of Sen
ator Watson's headquarters in Indi-
annapolis, according to Tucker, Is not
concealing his purpose to elect county
| chairmen who are favorable to Wat
son. :.
Referring to the Sixth district
Tucker says:
''It is understood that an agreement
was reached that Walter Bosssrt, OF
Liberty, should be reelected in the
Sixth, which is Senator Watson's OWL
district. However, there Is a feeling
deep among Senator Watson's lieu
tenants that Bossert is more friendly
| to the Goodrich-Hays regime than he
| is to the senator.
eff the senator can control the Sixth
and it is conceded that he should be
stronger there than clsewhere-it IL
regarded as doubtful whether or moi
Mr.. Bossert will be reelected"

Chicago, January 24-Ccrn tended up

General snowfalls which were in pro-

new orders issued by the railroad ad-

striving to meet emergency requirements

Over Private Wires


After a week of professional activity,
during which the market was run up
and down on technical conditions, the
close today is practically at unchanged
levels from Fridays finals. except the
January option, which ran to the new
high record of 40.44c, and closed 20 points
lower, but at a net gain of % over pre-
vious close.
Reports from the northern market state
that spinners have been absorbing con-
tracts sold by a scattered interest and
shows the danger of selling the near
month even at present high levels.
Weather throughout the central and
western states of the cotton belt is gem
orally cloudy, rainy and unsettled. with
prospects for a cold spell over Sunday.
Foreign exchange conditions are still
unsettled, and although exports continue
full, foreign mills as well as domestic
consumers are satisfactorily supplied for
the present and are not seriously con-
cerned with the course of the contract
market just now.
Many think that the market is short"
at the present levels, and while market
prospects are for a trading affair We
look for an opportunity for profit on the
advance next weeks. r. Stewart & Co.

Thompson. Parker & Co.'s Letter

FOR the first time this year 1t was a
weather market ON the cotton exchange
today. Little else but weather conditions
over the belt were considered, and they
put prices up for moderate gains. On
the opening there were declines of to 3
points on the most active months, after
which the market moved UP until 1t
stood % TO 30 points over the final prices
of yesterday.
The weather map showed much rain in
the belt, and the rainfall was heavy at
many points, while the outlook appeared
to be for continued wet weather. The
heaviest rains ranged from 1.20 inches at
Palestine. Tex, to ASS inches at Vicks-
burg, Miss. Houston reported 3.sS inches.
Owing to weather conditions returns from
the belt were far from complete, and the
forecast for the western belt was de-
layed. Rain was predicted for every
state in the eastern belt.
These rains will make the bad situation
in Texas all the worse. Many crop OBJ
servers have wired in recently that it
would take a month to dry out the soil
in quite a few counties Further buying
will probably result Monday if it brings
another wet map.
The market closed at advances ranging
from to 43 points net gains.-Shepard &
Gluck.
