COTTON OH. TRUST.
II Will be Re.Orgamized at Once
Oh a New BaSiS.

New YORK, November 6.-Thc com
1nittee appointed at the last meeting of
the certificate holders of the cotton oil
trust to examine into its affairs and sug-
gest method for changing the trust into
a corporate concern, met this afternoon,
+. p. Alcott presiding. The report
presented and adopted after considerable
discussion was on basis OF changing
the present certificates into stock, which
would be assured by the deposit of all
securities owned by the trust with a
central trust company. The new stock
will consist of $27,OO0O00, $15,O0O,-
600, 6 per cent. preferred stock. The
committee reported, that through errors
ofjudgment, a loss of $276, 40 had been
charged off on the books of the company.
The report ofthe committee ottrustees for
the fiscal year ending August 3, 1889,
was found to be correct.
The extraordinary loss of S276, 40 is
accounted for by the fact, that the presi-
dent and treasurer OF the trust had, for
the purpose, as they state, of maintain
ing and strengthening the credit OF the
concern, used its funds i'll supporting the
price of certificates. These transactions
cntailcd the loss of over half MILL dol
lars. Flaglcr, president, contributed
$15O,OOO, and !. o. Morse, treasurer,
100000 toward making up th' de-
fciency. The company will be rcorgan-
lied on the plan recommended by the
committee.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, November 6.-The specuIa-
tive trade in wheat was credited to local
operators. There was no foreign news
to affect the course of the market, and
local influences were the controlling
power. The opening was lsaAc. higher,
advanced &c. more, then declined asaI2c,
advanced l2a$tc and closed l2c higher
for December and Ac. higher for May
than last Monday.
Corn ruled quiet a greater part of the
session, trading being mainly local and
fluctuations narrow. The market opened
at about Mondays closing prices,
changed but little and closed shade
better than Monday.
Oats were steadier, but business was
light and no important features devel-
oped. Prices were lsal4c. higher, but
later a weaker feeling prevailed and the
advance was lost.
Mess pork was traded in moderately; ;
the early feeling was stronger and prices
were advanced 7l2a12Ec., but later III
the day the market was weaker and the
improvement was lost.
Lard was comparatively dull and the
feeling easier. Prices ruled +a7l2c. lower,
and the market closed quiet.
Short ribs were traded in lightly, prices
were without material change.

MANCHESTER MARKETS.
English Cloth and Warn Trade H e.
ported Very Good.

MANCHESTER, November 6.-The Guar
dams commercial article says:
The market is strong, with cheerful feel
ing, Actual business is not large, there
being but few urgent wants Firmness
of the market tends to check the progress
of business, vet Yesterday was a busy
day. The yarn departments were most
active. Few China orders were executed,
partly because merchants have already
bought freely and partly because Of the
receipt of discouraging kilograms from
Shanghai, where there is "A great tight
ness OF money, % per cent. per annum
being the rate paid for short loans. Mod
crate orders were executed for India at
fridays best prices. The demand for
minor foreign and home markets was
fair. Buyers of yarn have abandoned
expectation Of lower rates, and the ten
dency now is to look for stcadineSs of
the market. The practicable export de-
mand is small. Cloth is strong and full
prices obtainable. Sellers of India plain
and fancy goods progress fairly. Manu-
facturcrs OF best printing cloths secure
full prices for small quantities. Common
is dull at hardening prices. Heavy cloths
are quiet, withSteady demand.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 6.-Belle
Brown, daughter of Washington bust
ness man, whose disappearance five
weeks ago caused considerable stir and
extensive search, has been found in New
York all right and in good hands. Her
mind seems to have been partially unbal-
anced When she left she was i'll the Bal
timore and Potomac depot, and hearing
the train for New York announced, pur-
chased ticket for that place and boarded
the train on a sudden impulse. On the
Journey she attracted the notice of a
kindly disposed Southern lady who
secured a good home for her during a
weeks illness which followed and until
she secured employment as companion
to an invalid lady. Longings for home
and friends induced her to write to her
father, who went at once to New York
and found his daughter with her mind
again clear.

ward the panhandle, Texas, the cowboys
being unable to hold them. The snow

his men together and they started to fol-
low the herd, and made an attempt to
keep them punched so far as possible
