TO LOWER COTTON FREIGHTs

TO LOWER COTTON FRE1GHTS.
st. Louis, Dec. 2.-At a meeting OF
the board of directors Of the St.Louis
cotton exchange it was decided to
make a determined fight to have the
freight rates on cotton from the south
west to this city reduced. The trans
portation committee had the matter
under consideration some time and its
report has been submitted to the
board Of directors. The report will
not be made public until after it has
been presented to the meeting Of mer-
chants, manufacturers and bankers,
which has been called to discuss gen.
eral freight rates affecting st. Louis.
Cotton men claim that cotton rates
from points in Arkansas, Texas and
Louisiana are exorbitant, in fact that
cotton has to bear the brunt Of the
operating expenses of the railroads
that tap the southwest. They claim
that the rate on cotton is fully double
that Of any other commodity of like
bulk and value, averaging above 10
per cent Of its market value.

BOTH WILL WIN.
Fitzsimmons Hard AS Iron, Sharkey
Tough AS Rawhide.

F'itZsimmonS Hard AS Iron, Snarkey
= Tough AS Rawhide.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 2.-Both
Fitzsimmons and Sharkey have ceas-
ed training and retired early at their
respective quarters, fully primed for
their meeting in the arena of the Ma
tional Athletic club tonight. When
Fitzsimmons weighed yesterday
morning in his fighting toys for the
last time he tipped the scales at ex-
actly 1874 pounds and this will be
about his weight when he goes into
the ring tonight. He never stripped
as heavy in any battle he ever fought
but the added flesh is hard as nails.
His trainers are beaming all over with
their belief of his victory tonight.
Ring experts express the opinion
that Sharkey is almost in too fine con-
dition, but say owing to his youth
and sound condition, the rest he will
get today will counteract any weak
ness his seven weeks exercise might
have entailed Both are confident Of
victory

COTTON MARKET STEADY.

New York, Dec. 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet but firm, notwith-
standing unfavorable advices from
Europe. The better feeling was due
to lighter receipts at ports and prices
advanced two to five points on call.
There was little disposition to sell
and trading was light. New Orleans
was a light buyer early but apart
from this there was no outside inter-
est. At eleven o'clock the market
had a steady undertone and prices
showed a net gain Of two to three
points.

GLASS MAKERS RESUME.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 2.-All factories
under control of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass company in the country resum-
ed operations in full today after a
long idleness. Each factory employs
hundreds of hands and the indications
are for a comparatively steady run.
Col. A. L. Conger, of Akron, Ohio, one
of the directors, says the actual bus,
mess on hand is not the cause of
resumption so much as the condition
of the market and the prospective de-
mand.

THE NETWORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is @ newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news of the world every day. The paper has distin- gushing merits of it's own. It is neither sen sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It is not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavor in many fields outside of business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art. sports, and household matters. No paper in the country prints so many book revlews and so much book news. No pape; has so complete 8 financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions. It's mar ket reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson; majority rule; no bossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial emanci- patton, and everyday honesty. To promote the advance of the Democratic party along these lines it labors with heart and conscience and i'll ifs m oh
