Suns Cotton Review.

New York; Dec. 31.--The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton advanced IT to IS points and closed steady, with sales of 25g4OO bales. The Liverpool market advanced 1-32d on the spot. with sales of 12,0O0 bales. Futures advanced to Sla points, closing firm at a net rise of 61s to points. The port receipts today were Ss.415 bales. against, AIT. bales last week. Spot cotton here advanced Bc.
 Today's features: Prices had a strong foundation today in good demand in the actual cotton. Liverpool was higher on the spot So was New York, and so were a good many southern markets. Futures in Liver pool made a jump that astonished every body The secret of that was that Man. chester's trade is increasing, partly owing to the firmness of the silver rupee. Then re- ceipts at the ports sandrthes interior towns were so small as to make very strong bull card. There was no pressure to sell here at any time today. Fall River brokers are in the market for spot cotton, and it is believed that New England mills as rule are in the same boat with the Lancashire mills-namely, they are carrying very small stocks of raw cotton. Liverpool, the con ltinsnt and the south, as well as New York, bought. The transactions look like old times, and the market showed not little, too, of its old time elasticity and strength. But the best feature of all was the excellent demand for the actual cotton, and the ad- vagce was predicted more upon that one solid fact than upon anything else.

Chicago 'ohanee.

Chicago, Dec. 31.--After a hort session. marked by much irreguiarity, wheat closed Aqasc higher than yesterday. The trading was of closing up kind with very little new business transacted, even by the scalp CTS. There was long liquidation early in the day, the shorts covering up later. The incentive to strength in the last half hour was found. in the large export clearances sSss.7s2 bushels) most of which went out from New York, and in reports of gold re- turning to this country, with rumors of A large loan being made by the government. May wheat opened at 591564593hc sold be- tween 5996Oc. closing at 59tc, with the gain above mentioned. Cash wheat was firm and 1c per bushel higher.
 Corn presented no feature worthy of dis tinction, prices being patterned after wheat, with the range within more moderate boun- daries. May corn opened at 2Slkc sold be- side, unchanged from yesterday. Cash corn was weak and 1hQ1c per bushel lower.
 Oats-The oats market existed and that was the best that could bessaid of it. There was some trading, but not enough to arouse interest or attract unusual attention. The feeling was about steady, the ruling quota tions being the same as at the close of yes- terday. May oats closed a shade higher than yesterday. Cash oats were quiet and easy
 Provisions were perfectly willing to ac- company grain on the downward course. in

 : New York, Dec. 31.-The great and unex- pected strength of Liverpool today, show tpg an advance of nearly seven sixty fourths, put different aspect upon our market and disclosed the existence of a yery large short interest The rush to cover caused prices to leap upward. March, which opened at sos. advancing to SPA. A lull in the demand caused rapid reaction, March Reclining to S.16. but it did not last long and with renewed demand there was good rally, March closing at S.2QS.22, with the tone steady. As Liverpool has started the advance we must look to Liverpool to sustain it. The January receipts will prob ably be on a far more. liberal scale than we have anticipated, and it remains to be seen whether they will not chill the new born enthusiasm. Should 1t continue unabated of course there can be no declines here, but we do not feel over confident. RIORDAN & co. | .

spring shot oolored boy named Green,
was arraigned In court to-day. She
PLEADED guilty to involuntary man.
slaughter and WAS sentenced to three
hours In sill and to pay fine of $500
General Flagler paid the fine and the
young lady was conducted to jail to serve
the three hours.
The proceedings were the result OF an
agreement between District ATTORNEY
Birney end Miss Flagler's lawyers. An
effort was made to keep the trial from
the knowledge OF the public and for
that purpose Judge Cox called court
half an hour before the usual time.
The district attorney said: "This is
one OF those unfortunate accidents
which does not call for anything but
the liRhtest penalty in tho power OF the
court" and Judge Cox declared the
sentence without making any oom-
ments.
Miss Flagler was driven to the iail in
her fathers carriage and was received
oy the warden with great courtesy. She
passed the three hours in the matron's
reception room in the company Of Gen.
eral Flagler and an stunt, Mrs. Win
throp, and was then driven to her home.
The colored boy, Green. was alleged
to be stealing apples when Miss Flsgler
hred from the window of her fathers
house, killing him instantly.

NEW CIGARETTES.
An Invention That Greatly Inoreasea the
Mr., l,ar nd i 6na.. -.

An Invention That Greatly Increases the
Number and Lessons the Cost to Make.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The United
States patent Office issued to-day
four letters patent to Bernard Baron,
OF New York, under which 1t ia UNDER
stood that the National Cigarette and
Tobacco Company will operate in the
manufacture Of novel cigarette, which
has already been introduced to q very
considerable extent. The patents
relates to machines for making cigar
cites and for en- improved cigarette rod
and cigarette, the cigarette rod being
formed by first forming continuous
rod OF tobacco, oval in Cross section and
wrapper tube also oval in cross seo-
hon and enclosing the rod, which ia
then out up into oval cigarettes.
The claimS of the patents cover
broadly the continuous Z! oval olga
rette rod and the machine-made olga
rettes OF oval or ellipical CT oss~nec tional
form. The value of this Improvement
can be understood from the fact that
heretofore oval cigarettes have been
made by hand at the rate of 600 day,
whereas the improved patented mechan.
ism will make the machine made oval
cigarettes at the rate Of between 400, 600
and 500 600 per day. The machine-
made oval cigarette is already distin.
guishable from the hand m ade cigarette
and from the orginary pencil shaped
cigarette, and the rapIdity with which
they can be made and their perfection
would seem to justify the claims of the
Inventor that they will revolutionize
the business OF manufacturing cign-
rettes.
1t is understood that repeated at
tempts have been made to manufacture
oval cigarettes by machinery. but here.
tofore no attempt has been carried to
such practical conclusion as has re-
suited In placing such goods upon the
market. The rspidity and consequent
cheapness with which these articles
can be made constitutes an important
factor in the fight which the National
Cigarette Company is making against
the Tobacco Trust, fight which has
been going on for several years, involv-
Ing contests over the validity of the
charter OF the trust, which comes up for
consideration before the courts In sew
eral of the States at an early date.
Over 900. 600, 600 we're manufactured
In the United States last year and the
very material reduction in price conse-
quent upon the increased speed of
manufacture. apart from the i'm proved
quality OF the new cigarette, will result
In large advantage to the public.

NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE
Revision OF the Playing Rules the Only
Business Grammatical

Business Transacted.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The meeting of
the National Baseball League was re-
sumed at noon with all Of the twelve
clubs represented. The league was In
session three hours before luncheon,
the revision OF the playing rules being
the only business transacted. AS TO the
lining OF players, the rules were changed
as follows
Amy player who uses vulgar or inde.
cent language during the progress of q
game shall be immediately removed

addition shall be fined Ss5. This is an
amendment OF rule SO, section /, which
only provided for 6 fine, not less than
SS5 nor more than 800, for the first
offense. This rule makes it compulsory
on the umpire to act immediately.
ANY player who fails to remain
within the limits of the coacher's bog
shall be lisble to 3 fine Of not less than
IS nor more than $40 after once being
warned by the umpire. Any disobedi-
ence OF this rule after two such occs-
sions shall subject the offender to re-
moval from tho game and any other
player who takes his place shall receive
no further notification and will be
liable to ba removed from the game on
his first offense."
At z o'clock an adjournment was
taken for the purpose Of preventing q
oliver dinner service from the league to
Presidents and Secretary N. e. Young,
OF Washington, in recognition of his
twenty five years energetic manage.
ment Of baseball matters.
few minutes later the league meet.
