COTTON,
New York, Dec 2S.-On the resump-
tion of business this morning following
a holiday since Friday, there was very
-Httle calculated to disturb pre-convlc-
lions OF traders as to significance or cot
ton market bearings. Opening steady
at unchanged prices to a decline OF z
points, as compared with the final hg-
ares of Friday, the market subsequent
ly showed some irregularity with a
weak undertone. At the lowest level
prices showed loss of points. The
market was finally steady at net de-
slime of 3 to 4 points.
The principal weakness was a belief
dat with the favorable weather condi-
Mons in the South; the movements of
cotton will increase and become burden
some in the absence Of speculative sup
port.

M1EvILLE's EFFORTS TO DIE.
Physicians Prevent Death, and He
Is ou the Road IN Recovery

Paul E. Melville, d barber, made a sec
ond futile effort to end his life shortly after
IL O'Clock last night. He is but d little
worse this morning for his experience,
which might have resulted fatally except
for the prompt work Of the physicians at
the Emergency Hospital. A small phial
of laudanuIn vas the means employed by
Melville, who prepared himself for the
act bygetting very drunk. Melville started
on spree early yesterday morning, and
had not recovered from its effects when he
went TO his home last night. 1t was be-
tween II and 2 O'Clock that some one
rushed into Fitzgeralds drug store, at
Four-anda-half and streets and informed
Mr.. Charles S. Walter, the manager, that
Melville had taken laudanum. Mr. Walter
hurrie'i to the harber's home at 49s /
street, and gave the man large doses of
antidotes.
The police were then notified, and Mie-
vile as removed To the Emergency Hos
piCal, where, after about an hours hard
work, the physicians restored him to con-
sciouSness. This morning he was reported
as much improved. No cause is assigned
for alievilIe's attempt to end his life,
other than dependency following his
spree.

The Grsas Mo;ern Show Pitches Tents
In Davenport.
The Ringlings are in Davenport
today, their great tents being pitched
in the west portion of the city.
Thousands Of people went over to
see the parade this morning to attend
the shows this afternoon and as many
will be on hand tonight. While the
street pageant was the finest ever
presented by any circus company, it
served only as hint Of the COM
pleteness of the big show that was
given during the afternoon on the
grounds. The Ringing Brothers
promised that the largest and best
circus performance money could pro-
cure would be given. and every prom
Use has been faithfully fulfilled. The
show is mammoth one in point of
size-too big in fact for any one per-
son to see at q single sitting.
There are no less than 100 artists
having a place on their program. and
at times as many as - distinct acts
are presented at one time. The quail.
ity of the circus talent is of q super
ior order Of merit. and there is not a
member of the company who is not
deserving Of merit. Enumeration OF
them all Is out of the question. Of
eques'rians the Ringing show seems
to have secured this season Just

new feats and new specialties. The

everything in the big show, from
start to finish, is unquestionably
brighter, better and more perfect
than ever. The menagerie is the
largest and the animals the finest
