the championship at the Athletic Park.
Both teams are in good shape. both claim
ing never to have been beaten. The ninth
| man on the "All-Arounds' has been
signed after great deal of careful con-
sideration. The Allegheny Place team
has confessed to the ownership of two
bats and the "All Arounds" own u ball,
though it is expected that the game will

paid for by the losing side. The manage

The committee'in charge of the last
german has issued cards of announcement
for another to be held next Friday even
ing Speaking of germans brings up q
suggestion made by some one which is
that some time during the summer the
young people of Roanoke shall join those
of Lynchburg in Il big german at the
Hotel Bedford in Bedford City. The
Lynchburg people have professed a will
lingness to join us in such q german.
The expense would be little more than
for those at Blue Ridge and the same mr.
rangement could be made with regard to
the train. The Lynchburg party would
follow the same plan. The idea is II good
one. The trip to Bedford and return
would be delightful, while the opportu-
nifty of dancing in n fifty or sixty couple
once more before some of us pass over
the river would be eagerly taken advan-
tage of. The scheme will be tried ut all
events.
The exodus from the city promises to
be large in the next month. People will
begin to seek the seashore and 'outing"
in other directions about the first of June
1t is fortunate that so many will be able
to take these trips and get out of reach
of Roanoke's dust for a while.
The number of approaching weddings
is steadily increasing. 1t has now reached
eight, and others appear to he trembling
in the balance. The force of example has
never been so we'll eXemplified. Are these
weddings coming all together because
there is safety in numbers and the atten
ton of interested friends necessarily n
little more generally directed? In the in.
terest of economy these friends should
insist upon their being extended over n
larger period.

nnttnn I.nifar

New York, Jan. 5.@The bulls were handi- capped today by a break in Liverpool and prices in the forenoon were lower. March opened at 69O, declined to 6.S. rallied to 6.9S and closed nat 6.92a6s9, with the tone steady. In our opinion to cause any mate- rial furether decline there must be several days of very heavy receipts. The move ment today was again moderate and we believe that it will grow lighter instead of heavier In that case prices are sure to improve. Our friends need not look for any extreme or unbroken advance just now i; indeed it may be found good policy to sell out holdings upon every good bulge on the chance of being able to replace them on a reaction, but we are satisfied that the gen. eral tendency of better prices and we strongly deprecate selling cotton short even the wary old bears of the exchange are afraid to do thnt now.

Sums Cotton.

New York, Jan. 5.-Spot cotton here de- clined 1-l6c with sales of 200 bales for ex- port and 55 for spinning; 800 were delivered on contract. Middling upands ' 1-16c against last year.
 The speculation was dull and featureess The fluctuations in prices were unimportant and the trading was almost entirely of a local character. The decline in Liverpool both for futures and spots was reflected in a lower opening here, but after f1uctuat- ing within Hn extremely narrow range prices recovered part of the loss. New Orleans bought here and a few local shorts covered, while there was some new buying for local account. The receipts at the ports and the interior towns were compar- atively light, but in the absence of outside support prices declined.

Chicago Change.

Chicago Jan 5.--WiIeat prices suffered from the selling by the concerted bulls to- day. The snows which have been quite general over the winter wheat belt in- spred short sellers with courage and the hammering indu,ged in dislodged quite a considerable amount of property bought at higher prices. May wheat opened from SS;sc 10 Sic, sold between Silsc and S2cs and S2&l@S25sc, closing at S34GS92se-3sc under yesterday. Cash prices were steady.
 The corn market was in a atagnant con- dition. Frequently the pit was entirely de- serted and at most times but a few scat tering brokers were present. There was practically no business doing and no interest was shown. May corn opened at 259sc, sold between 25ssq 2594c and 251sc. closing at 257sc unchanged from yesterday. Cash corn was steady.
 There was probably more business in the oats market than in corn, but still it was a dull trade. The weakness of wheat gave impress to the sentiment in the market for this cereal May oats closed 1sc lower. Cash oats were firm, closing easy v
 Provisions Early trading In this market with some indications of firmness. a strong hog market conveying Q similar feeling to provisions. Soon after the penng. however, the tone became easier and prices fell away. The weakness of pheat was the influence then. Towards the close on covering there was recovery. May pork closed 5c higher. May lard unchanged and May ribs 21ac higher.

In w all Street.

New York, Jan. 5.-There was slight in- crease in the volume of business at the stock exchange today and the dealings were attended with frnness throughout the ses-- sion. At the start, a feeling of hesitancy prevailed, operators generally preferring to await developments at Washington before entering into new engagements. Subse- quently, when it was announced from Washington that the senate had not taken up the Cameron Cuban resolution and that there was no prospect of immediate action in the matter, the bears tried to cover in the bulls plucked up a little courage and brought moderate amounts of the leading is- sues. The advance which followed was equal 10 MM34 per cent, Consolidated Gas leading. The Improvements in the earn dngs of Louisville and Nashville and St. Paul sence of further bank failures at the west, the talk of dividends on Omaha, common, and Chicago Gas and rumor that the Del reduced after ali, added to the bulish feel ing. The directors of the last named com pany are to meet tomorrow tt, to decide the congress will take up the Union Pacific fund.- ing bill led to increased activity in the stock named and an advance from 8as to 10 re- suited.
