SHACKELFORD FOR
GOVERNOR IN 1923
Cincinnati Enquirer Suggests
Him and IT'S Certain Friends
Will Urge His Availability

Local friends of Judge w. r.
Shackelford, Who have realized
some time that he stands in a
commanding position i'll the next
Democratic governor race,
were pleased TO note that he is
mentioned as one of the three
most spoken OF candidates in the
Kentucky political column in the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Congress
man Alben Barkley, of Paducah,
and former Attorney General
James Garnett are two others
mentioned.
1t seems to he agreed that the
next Democratic state ticket will
be nominated in q convention.
The cost of statewide primary
has proven alrrost prOhibitive and
very frequently it has resulted in
the nomination OF weak Candi-
dates. SO an old-fashioned state
convention seems to be certain
for the next state nomination toi
endeavor to pick the strongest
possible ticket.
Madison county democrats are
confident that. as in years past
when the party sought Il cham
pion to redeem the state from
Republican misrule, it will turn,
to old Madison. And they are
saying that they will have one
fitted in every way to measure up
to the requirement, in the person
of Judge Shacke!ford. Back in
1911, after four years of Angus
tus L. Wilson and his republican
crew at Frankfort. it was to
Madison that united democracy
turned. James B. McCreary led
his party to victory then and in
1923 another Madison county
man can do it again, the friends
of Judge Shackelford are saying.
., Unlike many others who might
be. available for the nomination..
Judge Shackliord has never been
mixed up in factional politics in
the state. He has an old-fash-
ioncd idea that the collar OF any
man or machine wouldn't fee
comfortable about his neck. A. !
a rabble, rousing stump speaker
heshas few equals and no super
iors in the state. Many othe,
qualifications make him the idea

ocracy out of the wilderness, hi.

ty shall be fully acquainted Will

the next state leader rolls aroun6
But here's what the Cincinnati
Enquirer said Sunday:
1t is noteworthy that Demo

RESERVE FIGURES s. FROM THE FARMERS BIAS WHEAT LIST
Corn and Oats Were Governed Chiefly By the Action of Wheat-Pr0ViSi0nS
 Higher
By Associated Prens

Chicago, October l5-Uncertainty regarding farm reserve figures cred ited to the government but not of heially issued from Washington gave an advantage to bears In the wheat market today during most of the ses- sion. Week Tend evening up, however. caused a rally The close was unset tied at 1s net decline to a like ad- vance with December S115@ to $1.15B and May $l.19Ss to s1.20.
 Corn finished bc off to 70 Ao up. and oats gained Se to h39sc. In provisions the outcome varied from 2izc decline to a rise of 1oc.
 The farm reserve estimate which was current put the total at 412,000,- 900 bushels as against 477.000000 bushels last year. Apparently this showing would be a disappointment to the bulls, but there was much question as to whether the amount named took in seed requirements and also whether country mill and eleva- tor stocks were included One com ment which attracted attention was that if the estimate should finally be put out as official 1t would be difficult to reconcile with previous reports which had been generally ac- eepted as to consumption, exports and increased visible supply since July amounting to more than 30O,- 900 000 bushels,
 Corn and oats were governed chiefly by the action of wheat. Rural offerings lacked volume.
 Provisions averaged a little high CT with hogs.

NEW YoRR COTTON Ry Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Ru Associaten Press

New orleans, October i5.--Pro- nounced firmness was shown in the early trading in cotton today and al the highest the trading months were 27 to 32 points over the close or yesterday, December rising to 19.0Sc. After the middle of the session val ues gradually tapered off. under re- newed selling for short account and realizing by those who took on long contracts around points on the more active months, December's last price being 1S.S1c.
 On the first call in was plain mat the short interest was buying con siderable cotton and brokers gen. orally set the demand down as re- sulting from uneasiness over the very favorable tone of weekly and monthly statistics. Some little buying re- suited from the report that Japanese concerns had engaged freight room out of New York for Japan for 80,000 bales of cotton. Week end reviews of trade in general were called very favorable, especially in their refer- ence to textile conditions-~ Dispatches from Canadian wholesale dry goods centers aroused much interest be- cause of their Claim that wholesalers could not get goods fast enough to supply the demand.
 Highest prices of the day were reached on telegrams from Texas claiming the crop of that state was 90 per cent ginned and on telesrams from Oklahoma saying that ginning would be finished there In Is days.

RAYMOND. PALMER & co.

New York, October 15.--(Special.) ) The cotton market during the week had to contend with general liquida tion on the part of foreign interests as well as local and southern longs. Southern hedge selling was also con- stantly in evidence. The buying on the part of mill and trade interests was moderate. The decline was or derly. No big blocks of cotton were thrown overheard The big long in- terest is strongly entrenched and confident of the strength of it's posi- ton. It cannot be shaken out. Yes terday and today the market began to show signs ot resistance agalnst further selling. It seemed sold out. We believe 1t is in position to score another advance. This, however, may seem slow in comparison with recent bull movements. We favor purchases Of December. January and March. The outlook in our oplmon IS as encourag- ing for much hig ner prices as 1t was month ago. We are certain to have a very short crop of spinnable cotton World- -wlde demand IS inevitable sooner or later. Cotton seed oil is unsettled as a result or the weakness in the Chicago commodity markets, but we still believe it is destined TOT much higher prices. We Tavor pur- chases or the March option on all moderate declines.--Raymond Palmer & Co

RAIL STRIKE |SA BIG FACTOR IN THE
 DAYS STOCK LIST
British Rally Made In Ex- change Rates, While the German Mark Makes a
 Further Big Slump
By Associated Press

New York, october 15-Overnight developments in the railroad situa- tion unsettled today's stock market session, rails of the investment divi- sion reacting one to three points.
 The reversal extended to stcels, equipments and numerous allied is- sues, but domestic oils followed their recent movement into new high ground. Several of the foregn oils. especially Mexican Petroleum, also were substantially better.
 Elsewhere trading was of de- sultory character. specialties tending mainly downward, with new low record for American sugar. Pierce Arrow common and preferred were unusually active at material ad- vances. Sales amounted to 275,000 shares.
 Aside from the sAs, which rose slightly over 50 points, dealings in Liberty bonds were dull and feature less. The general bond market was irregular, Cuba cane sugar 7s being conspicuous among the foreign issues for a further decline of two points.
 Another sharp rally In British rates, with demand sterling at a69A or almost 5c over the weeks mini mum, and the further slump in Ger man marks to level approximating 65, directed renewed attention to chaotic conditions abroad. Most other European rates were better on limited dealings. The clearing house weekly statement was devoid of in- teresting features. actual loans and discounts revealing only a moderate expansion. Cash holdings increased by $11,000,000, however, with conse- quent increase of excess resrves to S39,00O. 900.

Metal Outlook Has
 a Bright Hue, Both
 Demand and Orders
Rv Associated Press

New York, october 15.-While the volume of business in steel has not improS ed as much as many had hoped for, the increase in the number of thrilled orders reported by the Steel Corporation hasNgiven the mar ket more confident feeling and a further broadening of demand is an- ticipated. The reduction of freight rates on iron ore is another favorable feature, as it is looked upon as a forecast of lower rates in all commo dities. Prices are firm. especially for wire and sheets and in some quar- ters advances are anticipated.
 The demand for pig iron has shown q noticeable improvement and as stocks are small. the tone of the mar ket remains firm.
 Tn copper. the improvement shown recently has been we'll maintained. The amount of actual business has been smaller but there has been a continued good export demand. while prices have failed to bring out any offerings of consequence from second hands. Manufacturers of the central west, as we'll as those of New Eng land, are reporting some improvement in the demand for products and in- creasing activity in this respect has
 
 firm tone. Offerings of electrolytic for October shipment appear to have been pretty we'll absorbed. Lake cop per is quiet but steady, while cast ing is in light supply and Grm, al- though demand is nearly all for ex- port.

COTTON SEESAWED
 MOST OF THE DAY IN
 NEW YORK MARKET
General List Closed Barely Steady, Net Unchanged to Fifteen Points Higher
 on the Day

New York, October 15.--There was a further rally in the cotton market during today's early trading, but the demand from shorts became less &C., tive on the advance to 19 45c for De- cember. or about 59spoints above yes terday's low level. Later fluctua tions were irregular. but here was scattered southern selling, and re- newed liquidation in the late trading and December closed at 19. 21c, or 24 points off from the best The gen eral market closed barely steady, net unchanged to Is points higher. The opening was steady at a decline of v points on December. but generally to 19 points higher on covering for over the weekend and trade buying Reports of an improved spot demand
 in the southl late yesterday ana rather vague apprehensions that a tropical disturbance was developing in the Caribbean sea, probably pro noted buying to cover short con tracts. and there was also some comment upon the London announce ment that German financial and com mercial interests in Upper Silesia were to be protected as favorable in it's bearing upon central European trade. On the whole, however, local brokers attributed the advance chiefly to a tirmer technical position after the heavy liquidation of the past two weeks, and when the de- mand from the shorts subsided the market soon turned irregular. Janu- ary sold up to 1922 during the middle of the morning, with active months generally showing net advances ot 20 to 30 points, but the close was 10 or 20 points off from the best. New Orleans wires estimated recent pur- chases of spot cotton by French im- porters at about 10000 bales, and fair demand was reported for fu- lures here during the earlier trading, which was supposed to represent price fixing by spinners. Cable ad- vices from Manchester reported continued good demand for goods from China.
 According to figures compiled by prominent British authority, 7b Brit ish spinning companies paid an av- craze dividend for the three months ended September 30 of 5 5.65 per cent compared with 5 10 for the preceding three months and 25.77 year ago. Weekend reviews of the domestlc goods market indicated a smaller volume of business at first hand ow- ing to the holiday and partly to the decline in raw materials.

HUBBARD BROS < co.

New York October 15.- Special l-- The market has experienced decided change in sentiment in the last two days. We are of the belief that the decline is about over and the market will work gradually higher
 Reports from Texas indicate that shippers are active and have secured considerable shipping space for eM- port cotton. The mills are slowly realizing the shortage of good staple cotton and we feel fairly positive that they will have to enter the market shortly to securetheir supply for spin ming purposes. We do not expect rapid advance, but we feel that con ditions are. slowly righting themselves throughout the trade and that the ad- vance will be gradual. However, we will undoubtedly be subject to sharp reactions from time to time.-Hubbard Bros & Co.

Current Trading News as Told Ouer Seueral PriuQte Market Wires
SHANNON & CoMPANy's LETTER

New York. October 15.--Yesterday and again today perssure has been 5ess in cotton and the market has given some evidence of precautionary covering on the part of some of the more prudent shorts who appear to feel that even if the ginning report fulfills bearish hopes it may not dis lodge as much cotton as expected and covering may not be such an easy process in view of the number of con- tracts already absorbed by the trade demand in the course of the decline.
 This tendency to retire short con- tracts may become more marked the nearer we come to the day of the report and prices may harden fur ther. Should the figures however, approximate 5,000,00O, as many look for, or even exceed that amount as some think quite possible, shorts who have covered would almost certain sell out again on the ground that such a report nullified the expec- tancy stated in the last government report based on the coalition figures and that a crop at least 100000 in excess of that estimate would be foreshadowed
 We think the market is over-sold and technically in a position to re- spond very sharply to any develop ment that seemed to shake the con- fidenee of speculative shorts. The weak long interest has been trans ferred to strong trade hands except in so far as it may be represented by small dealers in the south,
 After steady opening the stock market has followed yesterdays ex- ample and shown retroaction towards the close. The rails have been especially heavy owing to the revived talk of possible labor troubles In this connection 1t Is significant that the President has summoned the heads of the labor board to conference with him in Washington. Northern Pacific and Great Northern have been partic- ularlys weak due undoubtedly to the fact that their dividends have been admittedly paid out of surplus of late and that current earnings do not remedy this situation as rapidly as would seem necessary.
 The industrial shares also drag as improvement in trade Is only making headway slowly. The oil shares con tinue to be the most favored part of the market and the prospects would seem to be the best. However, when all is said and done we have had merely the usual indifferent Saturday market. Sales 294,500.-Post & Flagg.
