McElroy & Gilbert on the Condition Of

McElroy & Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, March 7.-McElroy
81 Gilbert say:
If 1t were not for the feeling of doubt
with which all news concerning the
strike is accepted the reports today of
a settlement on basis of the Mast er's
terms would have entitled us to an
unqualified belief, as it is a foregone
conclusion that only upon the Mas
ters' terms can the difficulties be ar
ranged. The uncertainty still rules,
however, and although there has
been come improvement in all the
markets 1t has been more the result of
shorts covering than of any confident
buying by the new element which is
expected to enter the market when
the mills start up again.
Liverpool closed barely steady at
"a advance after having been 9 GA
higher. Spot sales were only 5000
bales, but this is believed in some
quarters IT, be the result of determi-
nation by the spinners to cover their
requirements by future purchases and
TO buy only such spot cotton as is i'm
peratlvely necessary until the first ef-
feet OF the settlement shall wear off.
They are afraid that an active spot
business and large sales in Liverpool
would cause q repetition of the condi-
tion of affairs that existed during the
early part of the season when holders
refused to part with their stocks even
at rdiculously high prices.
A noticeable feature today has been
the comparatively greater strength
of the late positions. So long as the
Hatch bill was possibility only few
hardy operators ventured to take any
interest in the fall and winter months.
Now these are open 20 everybody and
those who entertain the belief that
there will be decrease or at any rate
no increase of acreage the coming sea-
con are naturally buyers of the next
crop, especially as the large stock of
available insures an ample supply for
all requirements until the prospects of
the new crop can reasonably be deter
mined.
One feature which perhaps ham,
pered the markeU today was the tight
ness of money in New York on call.
Money was quoted as high as 40 per
cent, but as 1t was reported that the
treasury had decided to sell $50, 600, 900
of bonds to replenish the gold supply
rates eased off before the closing.
There was a fair demdnd here for
spots, sales by factors being 300 and
80 to arrive. Prices were quoted very
firm and some sales were reported at
1-16 advance, although official QUOTA
tions remain unchanged.
Port receipts today are 10, 900 against
"a, 900 last year. New Orleans expects
tomorrow 250G against 500 here and
1900 az all ports.

NEW YORK, March 1T was

noon on good authority that it is the
intention of the directors of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company to put
the common stock on II per cent
basis and pay a cash dividend of 10
per cent out of the earnings of 1891 and
1892. The directors will at the same
time it is said issue an official state
ment TO the effect that there remains
at least $5,000,000 in the
reasury. IL was officially
announced shortly after II o'clock
today that the directors had declared
a regular quarterly dividend of l 3.4
per cent on preferred and 3 per cent
on common, with an extra dividend Of
10 per cent cash. The directors state
that Philadelphia refineries and other
subsidiaries have declared dividends
since the publication of the annual re.
port which has given a surplus of un-
divided profits in the treasury
amounting to over 10 per cent. This
is why the extra distribution of 10 per
cent on common was made.

BIRMINGHAM, March IA horrible
story of Whitecapping comes from
Cherokee county. Wylie and Will
Pruitt are respectable farmers who
some time ago informed the revenue
officers of the whereabouts of an illicit
still. Saturday night twenty.six
men went to their house, dragged
them out of bed, stripped them and
gave each of them seventy-eigh
lashes, each of the Whitecaps giving
three Iashes. The whipping was
done with hickory switches and was
horribly brutal. While it was pro-
crossing the women and children of
their families were made to come out
and view the spectacle. The victims
recognized the whippers and have
sworn out warrants for them.

aii TORI up over the contest Of Tho
WIN OF the late Joseph j. Moore. Mr.
moore died February Goth last. ,eav.
ing his whole estate worth IS. 600 n
MS niece Miss Nettie C. Moore. Eber
ana Eiwood Moore, brothers Of the
aeaa man, have contested the will
oh the ground that Nettie used un.
Tue ihhuence over their brother and
that In this way she secured All his
property. c. p. Bates of Sioux Falls
represents the contestants and w. Y.
Qulgley Of Parker the heiress, The
case mas been heard by the probate
Judge but the decision has been held
UP pending the submission Of written
arguments.
Inc girl, who, by the terms Of the
Will, inherIts all the property. so the
evidence shows, has been c%ultiyating
her uncle for several years. Moore
was a well known and respectable
farmer and his relations with his
niece caused much talk in Parker.
For a period Of two months one wit
ness testified that Moore and his
niece occupied one room which con-
tanned two beds. When remon-
strated with by Mrs. Mott, who lived
AT the house, the girl is quoted as
having said that she proposed to get
all OF her uncle's property. The con-
tention of the contestants is that
Miss Moore used improper influences
over her uncle and at the time the
Will was made, that Nh. Moore was
not in sound mental condition. At
torney Quigley, who drew up the
Will, testified that Moore dictated it
while other reputable witnesses swore
that on the day before and the day
after the will was made, Moore's
mind was in SO confused a condition
that he was unable to talk intel
Lightly. Miss Moore was present in
the house when the will was made
and nursed her uncle during his last
sickness. The will was made about
a week before Moore died. The case
has caused a great deal Of talk and
will be appealed by the defeated
side.
