COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The cot
ton market opened barely steady to-
day at a decline of s to II points,
December easing off to 21.S2 in the
first few minutes or about IS to IS
points net lower on the active posi-
ton. The decline was attributed to
liquidation and southern selling, but
~aough covering absorbed the COM
paratively small offerings, and
prices recovered to within three or
four points Of Saturdays closing
quotations. Liverpool reported a
quiet market and trading locally
was attributed to evening up Of ac-
counts in advance of tomorraw's
crop figures. Another private re-
port estimated the condition at 57.7
and the indicated yield at 1900, 600
bales.
Reports that all ocean freight
room available for shipment of cot
ton from gulf ports during October
had been booked pointed to a prob
able large outward movement of cot
ton next month, but failed to stimu-
ate much fresh buying. Prices
worked up to 2196 for December or
to about Saturdays closing quota
tons, but trading continued quiet
and prices were eight or nine points
ofe from the best around midday.
Trading remained quiet after mid
day, prices sagging off to 21.67 for
December, or about 2S to 80 points
net lower under light offerings. The
market was within point or two
Of these figures at 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.EThc
cotton market had a quiet opening
with prices to 10 points down, COM
pared with saturdays close. Liver
pool cables were slightly better than
due but there was little disposition
to trade in advance Of the govern
ment reports due tomorrow The
market eased off further after the
opening until October traded al
2i.50, December at 21.58 and Janu'
ery at 21.7O or 12 to IT points below
the previous close. A private Wash
ington report estimated the ginnings
tc September 16 at 100000 running
bales.
The market was tame all morning,
owing to Discrimination to trade in
advance Of the government reports
bue tomorrow. There was slight
rally after the posting Of the wealth
er map showing more rain in the
belt than expected, and decidedly
looler weather in the west. October,
December and January traded to
IL points above the early lows but
gradually eased off again on the Of
Ficial forecast for generally fair
weather in the belt. October traded
flown to 21.45, December and Janu-
bry to 21.65, all new low records ana
IL to Is points down from the highs
pr the morning.
The market eased off during the
hour before noon mainly on liquida-
ton in advance of the government
reports and on prospects for better
weather in the belt. Trading was
light, however, and strictly of a pre-
bureau character. October eased off
to 2122, December to 21.35, and Jan
uary to Plat or 80 to SO points down
from the highs of the morning and
S8 to 40 points below the closing lev
els of Saturday. There was a slight
tendency to rally in the early after
noon on favorable spot news, Texas
markets reporting a good demand.
Exports for the day totaled 1,263

could be attributed only to one fac

Wheat started higher. Trade was
not large and what there was could

business, while on any little rally

DEMOCRATIC BOSS
RULE TERMINATES
Americans Dominate Caucus in
St John, Kansas and Rein
dorse Governor

ST. JOHN. KAN. March 31.-The
Democratic caucus held in st. John
last week saw the last of the old
political boss rule in Stafford coun-
ty. The American people stood up
about 800 or 400 strong and showed
the bosses" that they no longer run
things in this community.
Men came through snow drifts that
were three to four feet deep, from
distance of IL miles to help over
throw the political ring, and they did
it.
The convention endorsed Governor
Jonathan Davis for reelection. but
did not instruct the delegation to
the state convention to be held at
Hutchinson April 2 in regard the
presidency.
The Republicans, at their Stafford
county convention early In March,
performed the same kind of house

Khan Wishes to Preserve
historic Mallsby Bridge

SUBMISSION, w. VA, April l.
Will the old Maulsby bridge be RACED
and sold for a few paltry pennies; OF
will 1t remain standing where IL ha:
for more than half a century as o
silent monument to the romantic
days Of the Civil war?
The Harrison county court has de-
creed that the old bridge must go
"A handsome new viaduct has taken
its place and Maulsby's bridge has nc
further commercial value. The Jun
ior Ku Klux Khan seeing Custer Post
No. 8, Grand Army of the Republic
fast drifting into the gray cleaning
OF oblivion, has written the county
court asking them to spare the bridge
that 1t might stand as a silent monu-
ment to the gallant boys in blue and
gray who met on the bloody battle
fields Of the sunny southland. And,
not only the Junior Khan, but scores
of other persons are interested. One
appeal has come from as far as Hot
Springs, Ark.
A copy of the letter written by the
Junior Khan to the Harrison county
court follows:
Members Of the Harrison
County Court, City.
Gentlemen:
I'm conformity with our ideals
and principles, we the Clarks-
burg Khan No. /, Junior Knights
of the Ku Klux Khan, believing
it our duty as the future citizens
of Clarksburg, most vigorously
oppose the salvaging of the old
Maulsby bridge located on the
Clarksburg-Shinnston highway,
near the small village of Gypsy.
"We have heard numerous COM
ments made upon your action,
and firmly believing that this
time worn monument to the
past generation and to the Civil
war should remain standing as
fitting structure to remain as it
always has been for the future
citizens of Harrison county.
"Clarksburg Khan No. /, Jun
for Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
