The shaft was purchased by the vet erans, but has never been fully paid for. The veterans presented the monument to the Daughters of the Confederacy, and they in turn gave it to the city, which erected it in the park in front of the City hall. lhe receiver for the marble company wants to dismantle the monument* be cause of the unpaid indebtedness, but is prevented by reason of not having the city's consent to work in a city park. Members of council openly stated in meeting that they world never willing ly give the permission, and referred the request to a committee, with the re quest that action be delayed on it as long as possible. The local attorney for the receiver of the marble company states that a man damus will probably* be sought against the city to force it to allow the dis mantling of the monument.

I came here be cause I have learned that Chicago, the greatest industrial center of the world, is in need of our organization and methods. “Workmen here need better working conditions and better pav. principally the former. We are going to get it for them. And our way of getting It us ually means a desperate strike. And it also means victory for us in the end, no matter what the cost. "We already have several locals at the stockyards. It will be .an easy matter to organize more. There will be no< demand for a closed shop or de mands of that kind. We simply want better working conditions.” ROBERT H. TROY DEAD AT HOME IN WEST END I Robert H. Troy, local representative for tlie fast eight years of the William R.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 12.—New York professional reports say the Pell inter ests bought at least 50,000 bales yester day, and that Watkins says the govern ment estimate will be around 13,450.000. This shows the bullish feeling prevailing in that quarter. Liverpool met our advance, coming in 5 points higher this morning. Spots 1 point higher. The movement shows signs of decreasing. The into-sight figures for the week looks around 572.000, against 046,721 last year. Comparisons of mill 1 takings tomorrow are likely to be bullish, as we compare with takings of only 393,- 000 bales for this week last year. The heavy exports during the past eight weeks and consequent large stock afloat will give large landings and takings abroad, whereas, last year the heavy exports and . takings did not get in until January. 1 Our market opened unchanged, gained a few points and ruled very firm. The gen eral disposition was to buy, but the üb . sence of sellers prevented business. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS F UTURES. In x: I !_ .

"There is a growing feeling here that positions have been evened up, so that if figures are very bullish and the market shows a sudden advance, there may be a disposition to sell it temporarily for reac tion.” Trading was very light throughout the morning session. Sojne of the large spot houses bought cotton freely’ and were the best buyers during the entire day. There was some local short covering. The ring crowd seemed to be uneasy and covered. At times the market was stagnant. The selling was little and scattered. Gossip among the ring crowd was some what confused. Many say the report will show figures around 13.500,000 bales.

Liverpool cables: "Look for bureau of 13,700,000 or less.” The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Smaller movement; higher and firm spot markets and spread of belief *that today's crop guess by the government will fall below 14,000,000 bales, linters excluded, sent additional shorts to cover, and throughout the session the contract divi sion reflected great strength. The government will estimate the growth of 1912 in 500-pound bales. The running bale is heavier than 500 by some I 27 pounds, according to Mr. Hester’s rec ord thus far this season. Consequently, I the figures given by the dei>artment of agriculture today will have to be reduced by about 5 per cent in order to make the figure read “commercial bales." How ever, the talent as a rule will draw no such nice distinctions, but will ad, say, a half million bales to the government figures, to include linters, and then, if the Interpreter be a very large crop man, he will add another half million bales because the government underestimated last year’s crop. On the other hand, the moderate crop people, who of late have vigorously endeavored to convince the trade that only a scant and unimportant remnant remains unpicked in the fields on December 1, will claim that since the gov ernment estimate is in 500-pound bales, the growth, In running bales, was record ed in smaller figures, and that any crop under 14,750,000 bales, with consumption running on record proportions, is bound to constitute a bullish condition in the cotton market.

CHICAGO Dec. 12.—The strength shown in wheat this morning was mainly on the light offerings in the pit, as the demand was not of an urgent character. Early advances were shown of % to %c with sales of May at 89 to 89'4®%, and July at 86% to 86%c. The market in the ohl world was rather unsettled, showing considerable strength early but weakened later. The weather in the Argentine was reported as unsettled in the first cabin received, but later it was said to have been more favorable. Corn was a shade lower on the excel lent weather for shelling, and movement, and the expectation that receipts will show marked Increases. Liverpool was easier on the American cables and reports of a large acreage planted in Argentine. Oats were in smaller offerings and the demand was excellent at fractionally bet ter prices. Hog products were firmer, although hogs at the yards were a shade lower. The buying of wheat continued right up to the close with shorts and Investors taking hold freely and resting spots for the day were % to %c higher. One of the features of the market was the fact (hat those who have been selling every time a' strong market was in evidence were slow about putting out short lines today. Corn closed with advances of % to %c and resting spots were around tne best prices reached. oats were %c lower to about %c high er and hog products were fractionally bet ter all around.

"Speculators who were bullish on grain yesterday said after the close that the decline from the top prices was chiefly due to the break In stocks. It was said that the local professionals were well out of their wheat, but only part of the early buyers of corn had unloaded. It was the belief that any improvement In the stock market would tend to create more confidence among holders of grain. Bears on all grains regarded bulges as only tem porary and said that aflvances should be taken advantage of to make sales. “Conservative commission houses ad vise a trading position on all grains.” LIVE STOCK MARKET.

GA., Dec. 12. —Chy council has been asked by a score of prominent property owners and business firms to refuse to renew the licenses in 1913 for the negro locker clubs and saloons on Fourth street, between Mulberry and Cherry, and it is very likely that the re quest will be granted. The saloons will neither be allowed in the future on Cotton avenue, the city’s most frequented shopping thoroughfare. It is the tendency of council to inhibit the operation of saloons in the heart of the commercial district or where prop erty values may be affected.
