Mr. ; Fairbanks said, in part "I am deeply sensible of the high honor of the commission which you .bring1 me. To be chojr.n as the ran didate of the republican party for the ?vice presidency of the United States is * distinction which any patriotic American may well covet. I accept the nomination and pledge you my utmost service during the campaign. If the people ratify the choice of the conven tion I shall consecrate my best efforts to the discharge of my official func tions. As you are aware, this is a call which was unsolicited by me; that fact intensifies my sense of duty to those fn behalf of whom you speak. "The platform adopted by the Chicago convention has my hearty approval. Pr.rried into the public administration and written into the statutes, it will insure industrial and national pros perity during the years of our ascend ency. 'This is an hour when we must put j o'jr faith to the test. We should have , nothing short of th? best political j party in the management of the vast pnd complicated mechanism of our gov c rnment. "We have before us for our judgment the platform of the political parties which are appealing for the popular sufTraare. The democratic party has es tablished an unchallenged reputation for t)ie repudiation of its platform ut terances at its will. We never know ? what covenants it will keep or what it will reject when clothed with power. Commerce After War. "One of the greatest problems which presents itself for our solution goes to the very root of our national pros perity and to the contentment of mil lions of our countrymen. We may take counsel of our friends who are en gaged in the great war. Although the hour of peace is beyond the:r vision, they ar*c already planning with refer ence to their industrial affairs when they leave the trenches. We have given much thought to military inva sion. We should prepare for commer cial invasion, which would paralyze American industry and blight our hap piness. "The democratic party eame into power through an unhappy division within our own ranks. It represented a minority of the people, and does not today hold a commission frorn thr* ma jority.

August 31.?The gov ernment crop report, indicating a con- , j dition of 61.2 per cent, or tht lowest on . i record for August 25. end r. lint crop I of 11.800 GO) bcles. was followed by ; t violent advance in the cotton market ; I thi? morninir. Owing to nncertainties j regarding transportation facilities and , the comparatively high level of prices j reached on recent advances, many hold- : ers of long contracts had taken prof its before the report was issued. The further reduction in crop estimate?, j however, was followed by heavy re- ? buying, as well as covering, and p broadening demand from trade and speculative sources, which sent prices into now high ground for the season j December contracts sold un to 16.10 | shortly after the report was issued, or j about 81.80 a bale above yesterday's closing price.

Following receipt of : the monthly report by the government , showing a crop condition of only 61.2 per cent of the normal the market became , wildly excited with most erratic and nerv ous price movements, but on the whole a strong upward tendency. Prices were lifted 73 to 80 points above the morning's j low levels and 58 to 62 points above yes- i terday's close. At the height of the advance the De- I cember option sold to 16.12, a new high , mark for the season, and the highest j since the 17-cent year of 1909. All months j made new high quotations.
