Some of the free silver advocates in this
state are fond of pointing out the action
of the Alabama democratic state COM
mittee as a glorious and righteous exam
pie to be followed by the democrats of
Georgia. Under the recent action of the
Alabama executive committee. which is
dominated by the free silver element, the
doors of the primary election shortly to
be held for the election of delegates to
the state democratic convention, are
thrown open to democrats, populists, re-
publicans, socialists and any and every
body else, provided they pledge themselves
to support the nominee of the convention.
BY this means the manipulators hope to
swamp the democracy with free silverites
drawn from the highways and byways
The democracy will have to be RESPONSE
bic for the results of the primary and
convention, while republicans and popu-
lists will be permitted an equal voice in
the selection Of delegates to the conyen-
ton.

what more liberal today and this, coupled
with the publication in the daily press
of the statement by Mr.. A. B. Shopper
son in his cotton facts that the Ameri
can and European spinners could con-
sumo in the season 1886 as much as
their large consumption of 1S94-95 with
out actually buying within 100000 bales
as much cotton and without reducing
their stocks at the end of the season be-
low their stock of September /, 1894"
no doubt assisted in giving the market
an easier tone. The news from Liver
pool was somewhat Indifferent, spinners
takings were reduced to 5000 bales,
while futures were 1-64d higher on near
positions to 1-64d lower on the late ones.
Sales of spots are generally small, with
quotations reduced Lice to 13-16c in

is that a good many of the local traders
are short. If they are, their combined
interest, in our opinion, is very small, in
fact, the floating interest is small on
either side

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 14.-The stock market
opened strong under the favorable aus
pices of higher quotations for our securi-
ties in London and more pacific trend
in political developments. In the early
dealings advances were scored in which
New York Central figured for 2 per cent.
In the more active shares the gains were
restricted to a 3-4 to 1 per cent limit.
The strength of the market was in
large measure due to increasing conf
dence that all practicable measures will
be taken by the government to prevent
a strlngency in the money market as
result of the Withdrawals from the
banks incidental to the payments of sub
scriptions for the new issue of bonds.

GRAIN AND PROVISION.
CHICAGO.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Within 80 minutes
of the end of the session today, wheat,
corn and oats each rose from Il state of
dull indifference to their surroundings to
n wide awake alertness and they closed
nt advances of 3-S cents in wheat and
corn and IA to 3-S cent in oats. Pro-
visions were irregular but closed with
gains of II LIE in May pork and lie
each in lard and ribs.
Wheat started a shade hrmer than 1t
closed at yesterday ut from % l-S TO
20 lac. and for an hour made little
change from its opening position. Inc
firmness was due to the comparatively
light receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth.
The European political SITUATION was
still further improved as an advance OF
slice in English consols Indicated.
The official figures of last week
worlds export made the weeks total
about (. 100000 bushels, or 1,oO0.OOU
bushels less than the estimated needs OF
the importing Nations, but the business
and financial outlook seemed to be re-
garded as sufficiently uncertain to war

business was light and price changes mar

country east of the Rockies of 6i0,UOO

The report caused May wheat to decline

Corn ruled quiet, but held very steady

was stronger feeling during the last
hour and May sold at % 5-Sc.
Oats were slow. Just before the close
free buying caused the price to adj

early, in the day on the light arrivals of

M'INTYRE & WARDWELL.

Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange.)
New York, Jan. 14.-At first there was
rise of 163 points, due partly to some
advance in Liverpool better stock mar
ket higher consols and a more peaceful
political outlook, but the speculation was
light and later on the early improvement
was lost and decline followed of Has
points and the close was at a net de-
cline of 304 points with sales of 40, 100
bales. The receipts at ports and some
of the interior towns were larger than
had been expected. This is doubtless
due to recent liberal purchases for eX
port, but nevertheless for the moment
the comparatively free movement had
rather depressing effect The Mobile re-
week ago and 1921 last year, but Mo-
bile dispatch today said we don't increase
crop estimate for this section. Large
receipts were due to export cotton from
sections outside of this district. Nor
folk receipts were 3751 bales against 1749
bales week ago and PIP bales last
year, but the fact seems to have been for
gotten that the increase in the Norfolk
receipts may be traced to changing of the
terminus of the Southern railway from
West Point to Norfolk
A New Orleans dispatch said: THE
agents of the Red River Transportation
company say after the arrival of two of
their boats this week with $500 bales that
on careful examination there is not 5000
bales left on the entire Red river
Liverpool was firmer on the spot at I'M
changed prices, with sales of 5000 bales.
Futures there advanced 1-2m1 point OH
near months. New Orleans advanced
point early and then lost this and de-
clined SAG points, but part of the loss
was recovered. Port receipts today
were 26,36 bales against 23,504 bales
last week, 30, 1876 bales last year and 90
OBS bales in 1894. Thus far this week
they are 81, 1913 bales against $4,000 bales
in same time last week. The receipts
at New Orlenas tomorrow are estimated
at $500 to 1900 bales against S165 last
week, 6974 last year and S50S bales in
1894. Houston expects to morrow $500
to $500 bales against 6054 bales last year
Spot cotton here declined Lice with sales
of 70 bales for spinning; middling,

Savannah advanced Lice, and Will
mington 1-Sc. New Orleans sold 1000
bales, Savannah 1901 bales and Mobile
400 bales Manchester was quiet.
Houston today 5297 bales against 1908
bales last week and 1850 bales last
year.
Some very prominent people were buy
ing here today. The increased receipts
are doubtless due TO the increased pur-
chases by Europe and therefore promise
lies easily on the slightest encourage
ment and we still believe in buying on the
reactions.

ELECTRICITY WORK.
Is There Danger of Austin's Water Pipe
Being Damaged.

Electric street car companies in Ia
coma, Wash, are to be required to re
pair all damages to water pipes caused
by electrolysis. In repaving one of the
principal avenues of the city, along
which runs an electric car line, it was
found that more than one-half of the. sur
face and connection pipes, running from
the water main to buildings, had been
so eaten away by the electric current
grounded through the rails as to be use
less. The pipes were replaced by the city
at cost of more than $1,000. All fran
chises hereafter granted will contain a
clause that the company shall repair
damage thus caused.

HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.

New York, Jan. 14.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co.'S cotton letter:
The market opened with sales of March
at S.02MS03, and after selling at 1874
ruled at 7.97 at 1 p. m. The feature of
the situation today has been the COM
parative increase in receipts at interior
towns over last week, with little loss in
stock to offset the receipts at the ports.
This knowledge has, if anything, intensi-
fed the dullness which pervades the
cotton trade, while the foreign spinner
ance regarding the future outlook for
prices.
The planter holds that the supply of
the world is so limited this season that
he will be able to dictate terms yet as to
the price which the spinner must pay.
The latter, ON the other hand, points to
India and Egypt as countries from
which he can get any amount of cotton
which may be necessary at relatively
lower prices. In Liverpool the falling
off in the demand from Lancashire spin
ners is not an encouraging factor in the
situation as viewed from day to day.
But the main factor against an advance
is the utter apathy of speculation or out
side demand for cotton.
No new feature appeared in the after
noon. The traders are unwilling to be
short over night, and in view of the
larger movement at the interior towns
speculation is not in evidence. A rather
lower market is expected in Liverpool
tomorrow. The spot market was very
dull all day, quotations reduced 1 IL.
The sales for consumption were 81 bales.
