THE A. P. A. FIGURED.
Elections in Massachusetts,.
Not Much Enthusiasm.


Boston, Dec. 3.-The city governments
were chosen in the commonwealth today.
In three-quarters of the elections there
was no enthusiasm. Party lines were
not drawn, and in Springfield, Somerville,
Gloucester, Brockton and other cities the
battle was fought on the A. p. a. issue.
The contest in Springfield was one of the
warmest in the history of the city, and
resulted in the overthrow of the candi-
dates endorsed by the A. p. A.
In Somerville, where the organization
has had control, its candidate for mayor
was defeated after a bitter fight. They,
however, retain control of the board OF
aldermen. The secret organization was
triumphant in Gloucester and BroclIton.
Republicans showed unexpected strength
in Fall River, and carried it by nearly
1900 plurality. They also carried Law
renee, former Democratic stronghold
by over 800.
Marlborough, Maiden, Brockton and
Newton again elected Republican may
ors. The Democrats won q victory IN
Hayrehill, Mayor Jewett meeting defeat
by over 600 plurality. III
Among the cities which voted in favor
of license were Lawrence. Fail River,
Hayrehill, Marlborough, Weburn and
New Bedford. lre.
The cities that remain in the no license
column are Brockton, Taunton, Newton,
Someryille, Waltbam, Maiden, Glouces-
ter and Fitchburg. iasff5rf

1893. Estimated receipts at 81 Texas
towns for the crop year, 342,0 900 bales,
against 694 900 last season. While the
crop movement may be little larger this
week than last it is likely after to be
small, even as compared with that of
same week in 1893, the short crop year,
and while under pressure of January
liquidation there may be some further re-
cession in prices, we do not look for any
material or permanent decline, unless
there is an equally marked and lasting
increase in the receipts The best cotton
authorities of the country inclined strong
ly to the opinion that the crop is very
small and 1t is believed that the pres
ent lull in speculation will be succeeded
ere long by revival of speculative in
terest and another upward movement of
prices. Liverpool reports good spot
business and London operators show
a disposition to take hold. We deem
purchases on the reactions advisable.

vENEzIjELA BOUNDARY.

Washington, Dec. 3.AThe first move
meht in congress upon the Venezuela
boundary dispute came today in the form
of resolution introduced in the house
of representatives by Representative
Livingston of Georgia, whose name has
been somewhat identified with the ques-
ton by reason of his resolution recon-
fnending arbitration, which was adopted
by the last congress, and his recent visit
to Venezuela. The resolution recites
that by a resolution of the last congress
it was recommended that the boundary
dispute be submitted to arbitration; that
the action was brought to the attention
of her Briannic majesty's sight BY the
president; courteously and with kindly
intent declares that her majesty's gov
eminent has failed to give the prompt

contained in that joint resolution or to

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec 3.-The transactions
in Sugar stock overshadowed the entire
market today. The stock closed at
103, or two points net lower as com
pared with the final price of the previous
day: The early rise was explained by
higher market for foreign sugars and
the alleged improved statistical position
of the company, Which it was declared
foreshadowed the declaration this week
of the regular dividends. Shrewd judges
of the market claimed to detect in the
scope the mastery manipulation of the
largest interest in the property. 81 The

the railroads, although business was very
light, these influences were operative
nearly all day. Incidental to the early
attack on the industrials, Tobacco broke
3 per. cent and closed within fraction
OF the lowest. Pacific Mail, in rurnors
elsewhere noted, proved superior to the
general easier tendency and gained 1 "a
per cent. The closing was heavy in
tone and the net changes were divided
between advances and declines. Bonds
were firm and higher. Sales, 81, 1858, 600.

Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange.)
New York, Dec 3.-That this is mar
row and purely scalping market at the
moment was again exemplified in today's
trading, for, although prices early in the
day were higher, they receded later on,
mainly owing TO the lack of speculative
spirit. The early advance was traceable
to Unexpectedly bullish advices from
Liverpool, where the spot market was
more active at hardening prices. A bet
ter political situation in Europe, rise in
British consols, small interior receipts,
moderate arrivals at the ports, a small
estimate for Houston tomorrow, bet
ter dry goods trade, rumor that Nell
would estimate the crop at only 6,3OO,-
600, some Liverpool buying and fair
amount of covering by local shorts, in
Guiding German houses. All this caused
a rise of points, but it was lost later
on and a decline of 3 TO 8 points sue
ceeded when the short demand fell Of
and there was n pressure to liquidate for
