TRENTON, Feb. 8, 1SsS-Senator Days
deep concern for the people led him, yes
terday. to oppose vigorously Senator
Ketcham's bill, which allows Essex coun-
ty to issue 81. 500, 900 more of bonds to COM
plete the park system. The bill came up
on final passage, and Mr.. Ketcham eX-
pIained the measure saying that 1t was a
highly popular one in Essex county, the
people and the press. with only one exeep-
ton being in favor of it. The choice OF
sites already made had wonderfully in
creased the value of property in their
neighborhood, and the county would gain
in healthfulness and attractiveness by
the location of the parks. The commits
sioners in charge of the parks were ali
safe men, he said, and to make assurances
doubly sure the bill provided for referring
the matter to the people.
Senator DAILY opposed the measure in a
lengthy speech, in which he took the
ground that it was piling up municipal
indebtedness at a dangerous rate. He
called attention to the fact hat Presi-
dent Voorhees, in his address at the open
ing of the session had warned that body
especially against legislation of this char
acter. He didn't attach much Importance
TO the referendum clause because the mid
die classes who would have to bear the
burden of the tax often failed to vote on
such questions.
Senator Ketcham retorted by saying
| that Senator Daily was of a different nina
| las+ wear when he favored the Hudson
| Ro,lleyard bill. There was some further
discussion and the bill passed with only
fine votes of Senator Daily and Packer
against it.
The Senate held a very short session
in the afternoon and then adjourned I'M
| til Today. The. bill merging the Naval
| Reserve into the National Guard passed
without a single dissenting voice. The
Reserves had the bill hung up last week
until they could look into the matter care
fulv and decide whether the measure was
for their best interests. They have con-
cIuded to acceptthe transfer and the bill
went through without opposition.
Mr.. Days bill Incorporating the town
of West New York out of the township Of
Union passed TO second reading.

was passed.

New York. Feb. 26.-Riordan & Co saw
OF cotton to-day: Led by the Liverpool
market where consumers have not. un-
I'll recently, been taking their full share of
supplies, cotton prices have advanced this
week.
The tendency of the local market has
been to resist the advance. owing to heavy
long liquidation but the continued firm at
utude in Liverpool won in the end, and
prices are 10 points higher for the week.
To-day the tendency was quiet and ac-
tive and the market higher. Liverpool
was two-sixty-fourths up, the South and
local bulls were buying and there was no
disposition on the part of the bears to at
tack the market. Prices opened l to 2
points higher and gradually improved
throughout the session. May opened at
6.l4c, advanced to 6.1Sc, and closed at 6. Tic
TO 6.l8c, with the tone of the market
steady
The anxiety in financial circles over
the possibility of war with Spain has had
its influence upon the cotton market, as
well as upon ali others Outside of this con-
tinSency, which every one must now in
cIude in his calculations, there has been
but one important development this week
This is the marked changed in sentiment
both here and in Liverpool, concerning the
value Of cotton
The trade is getting bullish. The IA
vorable attitude of Liverpool is ascribed
by some to the desire to get what cotton
thew hafOra nv l. Of
ties should occur. BY others, the change
is said to be due to the smallness of their
stock and a better business and political
outlook on the other side.
I'VE consider this, the latter the real
reason. All other. influences are the
same. The movement continues to graft
fly the bears and the demand to aston sh
them. The South is very firm. 1t begins
TO look as if the contention of the bulls,
that the size of the present crop is a dead
letter might prove correct and that with
any justification in the way of poor start
to the new crop, the market will go high

1t, Bermuda grass already had a foot
hold. In fact, that was the chief reason
for throwing It out, my friend, having
fought 4 for years, finally surrendered
and gayl It up
But nd1v after the loss of his gin, he
rugged ub "a cheap fence around this waste
land, spent what money he had for poor,
old cows and yearlings early in the spring
following the fire, and put them in that
Bermuda pasture. BY July and August
they were seal fat" to use his own
words, and butchers from the nelghbor-
ing towns were eager TO buy them, com
ing TO the pasture and taking them away
themselves.
This man tod me himself that since
adopting this plan Of raising revenue he
never had failed to double, and in some
instances to quardruple, his money every
four or five months for more than half the
year. He thinks the burning of his gin
was a great blessing in disguise. The
gin brought Ia money only three months
out of the year, while his pasture IS a
perpetual Klondike, minus its dlscom-
forts.
