Jackson & Ce,'s Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson x Co.,
 Birming gham, November 23.-Eariy news today lacked feature. and there was gen eral disposition among traders to holo OH in anticipation of further developments at Paris with reference to the peace nego- tiations Many interests were undecided in the matter of carrying stocks over the holidays. Some operators took prohts, Whhe others absorbed offerings, although in some instances support was lacking and reces- slons of natural proportions were recorded. Adyices from abroad are accompanied py an air of cheerfulnes sand confidence In the belief that the pol tical skies will soon clear Northern Pacific affairs will soon straignten themselves out. and the opinion expressed now is that the controversy was a good deal of a stock market move designed to enable heavy sold out brokers to recover their stock at a good decline. Advance in- formation is to the effect that the Buriing- ton statement of earnings for the month or October will be a record breaker The re- port is due this week The attention Is di- rected toward the theory that something quite out of the ordinary is in progress of development in the Atchison quarter wall street is now considering the fact that among the prominent buyers of Atchison securities are some of the most important interests closely connected with the com- pany itself, but simultaneously attention is being attracted to the fact that equally confident and perhaps even larger buyers are parties influential in control of the Rock Island system

Jackson & Co.'S Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & Go.
 Birmingham, November 23.-A feeling of firmness characterized the opening in cot ton, near months showed 1 to points ad- vance, while far months were 3 to points above the close last night. Early Liverpool cables indicated an advance of 1 point on futures and 1 3-32 in spot on sales of l2,0O0 bales. This advance was about as expect ed. Later cables were of bullish average, and with official reports of freezing weather from Texas to the Atlantic states in the cotton belt caused a renewed attempt of local bears to cover. On this buying prices advanced to a net advance of to points. Liverpool and local longs supplied the de- mand for a time, selling by the latter class of operators being to secure profits. Trading continued fairly active throughout the session with the general feeling very steady. Representatives of a prominent Philadelphia house were seen to be pur- chasing freely from time to time, rumored to be against recent heavy short sales. Comparatively few orders came from the south. There was little evening up of old accounts in view of the holiday.

Dry Good

New York, November 2s.-The quiet which always precedes a holiday settled down on the dry goods market today. There were few buyers in the field and mall orders were scarce The market presented an unchanged tone throughout, staple cot tons being fairly active in bleached goods lines and in exports with other divisions of the market featureless.
 Woolen goods showed no change of mo- ment, the inquiry for new goods being still confined within narrow limits. There was a quiet business reported in print and col pred cottons and none to speak of in print cloths

New York Cotton Market.

New York, November 23.-There was something of a bear stampede in the cot ton market this morning on bullish Liver pool cables and reports of freezing weather from the Atlantic states to Texas. The near months moved up to points and the Tar months to points on the first call, with trading more active than in many weeks. Prices received new impetus still later on buying orders from the south and Philadel- phia, and before the advance had been checked a further gain of to points mad been scored. The bull faction vigorously pressed their advantage. Reduced crop es- inmates already in circulation tended to in- crease the better feeling. There was SUD- sequent reaction, however, under heavy re- alizing. The aftrnoon was given over large ly to an adjustment of accounts by bulls and bears, not wishing to take chances or possible radical changes occurring before Fridays opening. Near the close there pro mt upward movement had eliminated, and that a substantial reaction was in order. After brief squirt of activity within the last few minutes the market closed steady at net gain of 203 points

lying on the ground in East Granite
street near the Blue Jay dump last
night with a serious scalp wound at
the back of his head. He was taken To
the city jail, where his wound was
dressed by City Physician Shultz. The
cause of the injury is a mystery, as
Murphy insists that he was not as
saulted. and said he was unable to ac-
count for the cut unless he fell and
struck against something sharp. From
the nature of the wound the police did
not believe he could have received it
by merely falling to the ground while
walking in the street, and as he was
very much intoxicated the officers in
cline to the belief that he climbed up
on the Blue Jay dump and fell off. as it
was It the foot of the dump that Officer
Foley found him.
