New York, Jan. 5.-The cotton market
has been very tame affair; no outside
speculative interest and local traders
faint-hearted. Trading was almost en-
tirely local, and confined to March and
May contracts. The market opened easy
at decline Of 26i4 points further de-

closed steady at unchanged prices to q
net decline OF two points.
Il. b. CUTHBERT & co.. LETTER.
New York Jan. :: -(SpecJD No more
important bank or mercantile failures
were reported to-day and this, with the
strong opposition in the Senate to the
adoption of the Cameron Cuban indepen-
deDce resolutions, preventing them from
being called up for consideration to-day,
restricted further selling operations in the@
stock market and led to a generally better
feeling in financial circles. The opening of
the market was duh and irregular with
an apprehensive feeling and fractional
declines, but as business progressed and
no bad news developed, and offerings con-
tinued scarce, shorts became nervous
and likewise traders who were intimi-
dated yesterday into selling out. The re-
suit was that quiet, though general
buying movement to recover these stocks
We're inaugurated and under the demand
and absence of any pressure to sell, prices
gradually hardened. The market devel-
oped strength in the afternoon, and the
whole list improved. Sugar, st. Paul,
Burlington, Rock Island, Louisville, I'm
ion Pacific, Omaha, Manhattan, Bay
State Gas and General Electric each ad-
yanced one per cent; Delaware and Hud-
son 2 per cent, and consolidated gas 3&4
per cent. The advance in the last named
was due to urgent covering of shorts
and manipulation by friends OF the prop
erty. All these stocks held the improve
ment and closed at the best prices with
the exception Of Sugar, which declined
sharply ri in the last few minutes on
liquidat ton. The controlling influence
in the late trading was Washington adj
vices to the effect that the Cuban resolu-
tons are practically dead and that they
viii be recommitted to the Foreign AZ
fairs committee tomorrow or next day

new administration. This confirms our
information ON the subject printed in
full in our market letter Of last week
Barring further unfavorable financial
news from the West, we think the mar
ket win do better.

when Bradstreet's statement, showing

was announced and it became known that
exporters engagements last night and to-

NO OLD-TIME AGUE NOW.
Days When People Had Regular Times to Shake
 Almost Unheard Of.

From the Kansas City Stan
 Those were days when there were three synonyms for ague, besides plain chils and fever. They were Indiana, dnino.s and Missouri, and the greatest of these was Missouri. There were two divisions of severity in those days: Those who shook" on Monday, Wednesday, Fri day and Sunday made up one division. soha dtn pAoh shrdlu omfwyu Vbgk ct and those who shook on Tutsday, Thurs day and Saturday, and remlpted with the other the next Monday, were the other. In those days the invitations to social functions read:
 "Mlr and Mrs. M. A. Laria present their compliments ito MT. c. A. Fever and beg to inform him that they will not be shaging on Tuesday, and would be pleas ed to have his presence at thelr dark green tea"
 This would be the answer!
 'Mr C. IA. Fever acknowledges the kind inw tation of MT and Mrs M. A. Laria, but begs to inform them that Tuesday is his day to shake."
 Many an otherwise happy social func- ton was shattered, tooo, by the inablili- ty of the MT. and Mrs. of the household to get their ague for the season started off on the same day. Of course, under the circumstances the entire family would be compelled to miss the entire so-
 
 or chattering every gathering they att tended.
 Today the dds'missing sign reads: ''This is my busy day" In early Missouri times 'This is my day to shake" was the correct fom- But all this is changed now. No longer is the congregation at church changed every Sunday, and no longer are two preachers guaranteed not to shake on the same day necessary. It was almost a part of the contract in those days. For the old4time chdfls are no more, and the ague has almost disap- peared. There are a few places in the South where it is still the custom, but 1t very seldom crosses Mason and Dixon's line now. tnsome parts of Arkansas where typewriters and bicycle bloomers have not penetrated, there is yet some ague, but 1t seldom gets north of those secluded spots. At present D. G. O. Coffin, city physician, is treating two cases of real dld-time fever and ague, but they are the first he has seen in ansas City in ten years, he says.
 pr. D. R. Porter, who came here from Ohio thirty years ago, and has been here ever since, says he has not seen a case of old-time chiFls and fever in five years. Dr. Coffin says it is because of the improved sanitary conditions. Dr. Porter says 1t is because people drink better water.
 In the early days, Dr. Porter said to a reporter for the Star, three-fourths of his imcome came from ague patients. Doctors grew rich treating manarial pois- on. The favorite and principal prescrip- tion then was "quinine. 20 grains" in as many variations as the doctors educa- tion and medical dictionary could con- jure him distinguished ana hdgh-sound- ing terms to substitute for the word quinine Or when both ran short, or the patients found it out and went to prescribing for themselves, 1t was an easy matter for the doctor and the drug gist to get together behind the prescrip- ton case and agree upon something new and cryptogramatic.

 The cost of producing the Paris palper is much 1anger than its printed appear 2nce would seem ito warrant. The re- porterS get from $40 to S100 a month, the editorial writers from $200 to $500.

GOLD AND MINERALS
 IN EAST ALABAMA.

many creselxs and branches. the source of supply of which has never been definitely determined.
 This applies to some of the richest placer diggings in the state which years ago produced a considerable quantity or gold dust and nuggets, and especially at Arbacoochse. Practical work would alone solve the problem and practical work means tn expenditure of a consid- erable sum of money, because work al- ready done by miners and prospectors has exhausted the possibilities of locat- dng, what may be termed as the mother lode which produced this placer gold, unless a large outlay is made for heavy pumping machinery.
 The chief feature with regard to the gold bearing section of Alabama which should encourage ths people of the state is that there are several localities in which apparently extensive bodies of low grade free milling ore occur. Experl- ence has proven that even in the rich mining camps in the west, and in other countries, the most profitable mines have been those where the ore bodies have been extensive, but the grade has been low. In consequence of these con- ditions the cost of mlrfng and treating has been the minimum, and the profits have depended on the extent of the plant for treatment and its crushing capacity.
 Free milling ore dn locations where it can be mined from an open cut, and its value saved by simple amalgamathon which, in the south, will yield $1 per ton, can be mined at as great @ profit under favorable conditions where as large a quantity is treated as is in the west, as ore of the same character can be mined and treated in other mining camps which yield from $350 to $4 per ton The ex- trefnely low cost of labor, fuel and min ing timbers in this section Is the reason why such results can be obtained.
 ,r-au fs0- sources of this section of the stabe the prospects that in several localities they would be conducted with profit are very promising. Of course the feature Of vital importance in mining any other metals or minerals except gold is the question of market facilities. So far as transportat lion facilities are concerned, while of course it would be very advan- tageous to have railroad transportation. yet with such minerals as copper ore. mica and graphite a reasonable wagon haul would not be prohibltlve and pres ent mining operations resulting proita- bly, provided the market was secured, and so, far as copper ore ds concerned that 1t should yield not less than or per cent. copper
 At the present time there are no active operations being carried on in mining any of the minerals or metals I have mentioned i'm this district other than gold and copper ores, although some years back mica, graphite and corundum were mined to a limited scale in portions Of Randolph Clay and Tallapoosa coun- ties.
