for December disclose the following results
for 1891, in connection with the boot and
shoe, leather and wool trades:
There were exported of boots and shoes
706,5 dozen as against COS, SOC dozen in
1890. Total value Of exports OF 1891 was
50, l6S, 3S4, those of the year previous reach
ing 50, 1l1.790. This shows an increase of
10, 723 dozen, with enhanced value Of $50
594 The imports which were SO, SIS dozen
in 1890 rose TO 102,OS2 dozen in 1891, the
value falling OF however in 1891 from ST.
5S4, 050 to s, 549, iS0. An increase in ex-
ports was scored of 15l4 per cent TO
Australasia, and Of 10 per cent to the
British East Indies. The trade with South

King Sims to Hang a. Waco.

Special 10 the Gazette.
WACO. TEX, Feb. liking Sims, the
negro who was convicted in May last Of the
murder Of Edmond Brandon, will hang.
His attorneys appealed the case, but it was
affirmed, and when the March term of the
district court meets the sentence viii be
passed and day set for his execution.
Sims crime was the killing of Edmond
Brandon on the 18th of last May. A pros
titute who was confined in the city jail for
some petty onense, sent him word to pay
her fine. and he told ner that he had no
money, but he was going out in the country
TO kill q man and get some money, which he
did, shooting Brandon in the. back with a
rife while he was blowing.
The sheriff informed him yesterday that
he would die on the gallows, and he replied
that he would not be dead long. He IS
ignorant, and seems perfectly Indifferent to
his impending fate. He will be executed in
the jail yard on the same gallows that Con-
rad Jackson, another negro, paid the pen
atty of death two years ago.

New ORLEANS, La. Feb atwood,
Violet & Co, say: Futures-There was a
variation of 10 points here to-day. May
sold at 81, advanced TO 81 aud
closed at 81. The easiness here was
caused by the freer movement
at ports than expected. Instead of 22,O00
bales estimated for to-day our receipts
were 1900, but the movement at
other ports made up the difference
to $4,000 bales against $1,000 bales last year.
Several boats expected here to-day were
detained on account of the fog until after 70
O'Clock. Receipts for tomorrow are esti-
mated at 200 bales, against $1,000 bales
at all ports last year. Liverpool was
steadier than expected, closing steady at
1-64c lower than last night, but spot sales
were very moderate, 1000 bales. Life must
be infused into the article Itself
before premiums can be re-estabhshed
there. With such o stock as Liverpool
has their spot sales should be con-
siderably larger than they are.
We shall doubtless have at
this port this week as much as we re-
ceived last year. Memphis receipts are
nearly four times as large as they
were last week and we think
the semi-weekly interior movement to be
published tomorrow here will show q very
considerable increase of receipts. Our
exports to Liverpool viii probably be
considerably under those of last year for
some time, and this should cause relatively
a larger amount Of stock at the
ports as compared with last year,
with free movement at interior towns, or
to the ports. Liverpool is the weakest point
in the whole situation. The only thing in IA
yor OF cotton is the price, whether other con-
ditions more than Offset this everyone must
Judge for himself
Spots closed steady. Sales, 800 bales.
Quotations unchanged.

no demand, buyers preferring to operate on
the spot, which for the moment is cheaper
than the interior.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Dealings in the
stock market continue to show decreased
volume and activity tends to restrict itself
to the stocks which are paid special atten-
ton to by the shorts or bears. London
was factor in the market to-day during
the morning hours and selling was free in
specialties IN which she is interested. All
through the day buying seemed to be of a
much better character than the selling, and
there was decidedly strong temper de-
yeloped in final trading. The market closed
fairly active and strong at best figures.
Railroad bonds paratively active.

A HALF MILLION INVOLVED.
A Deputy Marshal Suing for 100 Acres In
the Heart of Guthrie.

Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Feb. deputy United
States Marshal Ransom Payne began suit
in the district court to-day asking that
townsite board No. be enioined from issu-
ing deeds to the lots in the north half of
East Guthrie, and also that they
be ordered to hold the property in
trust for MIN. This suit involves the title
to 100 acres OF land in the heart of Guthrie,
and worth nearly half million dollars.
Payne was sent to Guthrie to preserve
order before the opening of the land, and as
soon as the hour of opening arrived he went
upon this land and claimed it as home
stead. The secretary of the interior decided
that as he was in the country before
the hour of opening he forfeited his
rights, but Payne and many attorneys claim
that being ordered by the government he
did not forfeit any rights. There are a
number of similar cases, and this case viii
go to the supreme court Of the United
States as test.

Special to the Gazette
EAGLE Pass, MAVERICK COUNTY, TEX,
Feb. 1.-The suit for the disincorporation
of Eagle Pass was to-day before Mr..
Franklin, of San Antonio, sitting as spe-
cial Judge. After protracted argument by
the lawyers for and against, the judge, fol-
lowing the ruling Of the supreme court, de-
cided that incorporation OF the city was
illegal on the ground that it embraced too
large an area.
The result was not expected. The action
of the petitioners which led to the suit,
though not without excuse in the inaction
of the city council, is regarded as repre-
hensible by progressive citizens, and the
decision of the judge adds to the mis-
chievous effect of a ruling calculated to
arrest the growth and prevent the develop
ment Of every city in the state. Reincor-
poration with redistricted area will prob
ably be effected at an early day.

Kisses Saved Up.

A travelling man, who was also the
head of prosperous firm, promised his
newly welded wife that he would give
her a dollar every time he kissed her,
and in that way she could save plenty of
money. Things went ON in this way for
several years, and. as he made plenty Of
money, he faithfully kept his promise.
Finally reverses came and the once pros
porous travelling man found that he
was virtually pauper. He went home
to his wife and told her all. She, how
ever, did not seem to feel worried, and
he was somewhat surprised when she
asked him TO take ride with her that
afternoon, but he accepted her invita-
ton.
Passing e large block on well known
street she said, That's mine" Soon
she came to handsome fat and said,
'"That's mine" Well, she showed him
several places with the same remark
until he began to be suspicious, and in
quired, "How in the deuce did you ac-
cumulate so much wealth. "Do you
remember the contract you made when
we were first marriedr' she said. yes"
he replied, Il do" well, invested it
and il has made US rich" The travelling
man hung his head and said nothing.
This was kept up for thirty minutes,
until his wife became alarmed, and she
asked, what in the world is the matter,
and what ans you thinking about" He
said, Il was thinking of how rich we
would be if had done al my kissing at
home. Michigan Tradesman.

BETTER TIMES AT HAND,

Within the past few weeks Hon. R. G.
Horn of Michigan had occasion to make
an extensive tour of the west and north
during which he made it point to in
quire of land owners concerning the
general feeling among the people of the
farming community in regard to conf
dence in the future and its effects upon
land values. He was in twenty coun-
ties IN Kansas and in an interview in the
Chicago Tribune says the people he met
assured him that land will bring from
So to IS per acre more than it would two
years ago. This is a very conservative
estimate. The average increase in values
placed on agricultural lands in Kansas
during the past two years is not below
so, with better demand for improved
properties than has existed within that
period As Mr.. Horn remarked in con-
Guiding his interview, times are more
promising, and there is prosperity in
store for men who till the soil first, and
every body else as natural sequence.
