TAMPA, Fla, Dec 20.-The Cubans
here gave a warm welcome Saturday
night to Colonel Raule MART, who ar
rived ON the Olivette from Havana.
Marti, who is called "El Englesito, "
was daring officer, and the Spaniards
offered q price for his head. He was
struggled ON board and given papers as
an American. The officer was suspi-
cious and asked him TO step on shore.
IL am afraid Of you Spanish officers"
SAID MART grimly, "and as l am under

The police held the ship two hours
and then allowed her TO leave. But ON
second thought. after she had left the
harbor the police started in pursuit. But
the steamer is q swift vessel. and soon
distanced the Spanish boats. Marti Is

New York, Jan. 7.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-The market looks bull
,ish. At the opening a disappointing LiV-
erpool caused some selling, and as there
was little outside support in the shape of
buying orders, prices yielded few points.
March opened at $3.50, and declined to
697c. 1t soon became apparent, however,
that though there was little demand tol
cotton, the offerings were still less.
Though many talked in a bearish strain
nobody seemed to want to sell short Prices
gradually hardened until March had sod
at 7O7c Throughout the afternoon the
market continued firm. The leading Ger
man bear was the largest buyer. The
lose was steady. with 7.06c bid for March.
After the close, bidders were Offering 1O1c
for March. The receipts were again de-
cidedly lighter. 1t is the growing convlc-
ton that they will continue to decrease;
that causes the advance. Should the re
ceipts of a single day be large it would
probably occasion a sharp reaction But
if the reduction in the movement should
ne continuous, which we think probable
prices may go much higher"
New York. Jan. THE Sun says of cot
ton: 1.-The speculation to day was ex
treme.y dull and interesting. The trad
ing what there was of it, was almost
wholly ,ocal and the fluctuations in price
were confined within a narrow range. TIL
course of the Liverpool market was DIS
appointing, and at the opening prices her
declined slightly But there was very lit
tie pressure to sell and on a small demant
the loss was recovered and prices slowly
advanced. The receipts at the ports and
the interior towns were Eight and there
was small demand here for account OF
New Orleans. The market there will b
closed tomorrow and shorts covered The
dullness of the speculation, however, off
set the small crop movement and prevents
any marked rise in prices"

DRY GOOnS.

New York, Jan. IA slight expansion
in general business again reported in tn,
dry goods market for cotton goods.
Stocks in second hands are reported below
usual dimensions for the time of the
year, and with the increased outward
movement, which generally grows after
the opening of the years business at frs
hands, ought to show a gradual improve
ment in volume, even if buyers persis,
in following closely a very conservative
policy. Taking the market for cotton
goods as a whole, prices are on a ver9
low basis, and as Improbable to the man
ufacturers as at any previous time. TIL.

in point of prices than a little while ago

What the Clever Fellows Are Thinking and
Writing About

The Bridgeport News would just like
to know where the author of "Mr. john
son, Turn Me Loose" really is. He seems
to be badly scattered. The News says:
According to our exchanges the au-
thor of MIR. Johnson Turn Me Loose
has died in Nashville recently, arr stsd
and Jailed in New York, put n an in
sane asylum out west and is working on
New York newspaper. 1t seems to us
that he is the most scattered man we
ever heard off,
The Clayton Record says it does not
know whether Bob McDavid is eandi-
dale or not, but anyhow he's all shght:
1--WE see a great DIAL about Bob Nc
David being in the race for secretary OF
state. We dcnt know that he is, but
If he lis, he has the Records best wishes
for his SUCCESS. Bob is all right"
The Prajttville Progress facetiously re
marks: s."
"a girl m st. Paul sued man for
kissing her against her will and fecov
cred $25 damages, but in Canada suit
of the same nature the verdict was only
20 cents If that is the market price
of Canada kisses, the American girls
along the borders Should have high
tariff duty placed on the British article."
The Fort Payne Journal explains why
Mr.. Mckinley doesn't raise the price of
cotton:
I'VE heard a mana good farmer
last week down at Po15srsville explain
ing khy Mckinley didn't do something
for cotton. He was too busy appoint
ing negro postmastens in the SOUTH"
The Mobile Herald says of Col. Wiley's
speech at Nashville: 81
Last Friday was Alabama Day at the
Nashville exposition and Gov Johnston
and staff attended. as well as other Ala
bamians. AS Hon. Ariosto Augustus
Wiley made a speech, all other bursts of
eloquence We're as If they had not
bursted."
The Talladega Mountain Home insinu-
ates that women care more for dress
than they do for religion:
Women filled the pulpits of twenty
Baltimione churches last Sunday We
dare say there was not a single lady in
one of those twenty congregations, who
can't tell exactly how the minister was
dressed that day, whether she remem-
bers the text or not"
