Futures-We stated yesterday that the
price of January and that of middling here
showed the latter was quoted too high. To-
day all grades under good middling were
reduced nc, and should have been even
more. The situation today has looked to
us as weaker than at any other time, and
we look in vain for any support to the mar.
ket except by a reaction by shorts covering
very large accumulations of undesirable
GRADES and New York will prevent in
our opinion, any Improvement iii cOnCiacts,
so long as they are held for tenderable pur-
poses. January is selling here at 2 and in
New York at points under Monday. Each
month will be affected in the same way.
There will be time when such grades will
be taken up and exported. When they are
we shall be quick to advise our readers
Port receipts are $500, against 55, 400 last
year. and tomorrow here they are esti :
mated at 1900. We anticipate large jan
uary receipts.
F. o. b. offerings, though not large, are Of
good character. The largest offerings were
from Alabama. Sales 110O bales.

as usual. Any grades above middling good

DESPERATE SHOOTING AF-
FRAY BETWEEN TWO
BOSS GAMBLERS.
SHOT GUNS AND PISTOLS USED.
Terrible Disease and Panic at Fairfield,
Central Texas, the Disease Supposed
to be Miningitis.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec 23.-All Fort
Worth was stirred tonight by shooting
affray between two gamblers in the city
Luke Short and Charley Wright. They are
the leaders of two factions in the city, the
down town and up town gamblers. Shcrt
is one of the best known sports in Texas,
havlng put the quietus to more than one
man. his last and most noted victim being
Jim Courtright, himself widely
known desperado. Wright is a quiet
man with pleny of nerve. Tonight
Short got a pretty heavy load of liquor on
and proceeded to Wright's gambling place.
He pulled out six shooter and ordered
everybody in the place to light out. The
gamblers in the place, in their hurry to get
out, overturned tables and lamps and scat.
tered chips and cards all over the room
Short stepped out in the hail, into which
opened several doors and windows. As
ne did so, hand was thrust through a
door and a shot was fired at him, Short
turned quickly rnd fired back. Simultane-
ously load of buckshot came through a
window, entering Shorts hip and
plowing out a large tunnel. Short
went down stairs, entered a
hack and went up town. When his re-
yolver was examined every chamber was
full. Wright was captured soon after. One
barrel of a double barreled shot gun was
empty, but his revolver was loaded in every
chamber. Wright was shot through the
right arm. Both were put under $1,000
bond.
