New Orleans, December i.-Bacheller 6
Co Ltd, say OF cotton:
A temporary reaction at the opening this
morning did not disconcert the sanguine
bulls who gathered support from the small
port receipts today, the continued strength
of spot markets. large demand from export
ers with rumors OF Nolls supporters aban-
don,ng their position and encouraging news
from New England milling centers. The cot
ton market for the moment gives evidence OF
increasing strength, with the general tenor
of advices from the country more bullish
than ever, and il now remains for the bulls
TO maintain their stubborn front during the
decisive month OF December Meanwhile the
public is hurdened with inventive theories
of a sensational kind. emanating from some
OF the great authorities but as far AS this
season IL concerned such arguments exert
spall influence We are Inclined 10 believe
that Liverpool will take the proper Wow OF
the very bullish situation presented to-day
and that further advance is looked forward
to in consequence. II is announced that a
cotton report viii be issued at noon Decem.
Der IL by the government, the scope of which
will be given out several days In advance Of
publication.

have no conception OF him save 40 the will.
Ing ana consistent ally Of the Lancashire
spnners, bearing the price OF cotton. But 1t
ID true. We have no call TO defend Mr.. NELL:
DO not know him. never met him and are con-
tent he shall occupy any place he makes Tor
himscIf. But We dosnot believe he has VIII
ingly aided In depressing the price OF cot
ton.
In an interview with the New Orleans repre-
sentative OF the New York Commercial. Mr.
II. NJ. NELL is quoted as saying that the
present reduction OF cotton coming into sight
is due to policy OF holding back on the
part OF planters. either because they are
abundantly able to do so or for the purpose
OF further influencing the market.
THE figures amount to demonstration OF
this" said Mr.. NELL. Since October Is the
receipts at the thirty counted interior towns
have actually exceeded the port receipts
whereas In other seasons, whether the crop
was large or small. the port receipts have
largely exceeded the counted town receipts
in this period. the excess averaging 500 .CDo
bales in each year since 1890.
There you have the statistical proof OF the
hoid-up. But, knowing this, It becomes ex-
ceedingly probable that the same influences
that have held cotton back In the thirty
counted towns, where II comes into sight are
towns, where II Is not yet In sight,
though it should normally have come for
ward"
MIR. NELL added that, taken as whole, the
OF cotton into sight thus far this
year, when inteligently analysed tends to
confirm rather than contradict the expectation
of full crop.

Is THERE A FORTUNEs
Another Side Of the Reported Sto-
baugh Estate.

Some weeks ago a Cripple Creek
bank wrote here asking about Levi
Stobaugh, formerly Of Abilene, and
saying he died leaving about $780,
900 to his credit in the banks OF that
city. The story was published in
the REFLECTOR and attracted wide at
tention, claimants for the money
sprung up in dozen towns. Now
the REFLECTOR receives a letter from
Colorado lawyer which says:
1.-THE facts are that Levi Stobaugh
died Of pneumonia on March 90th,
this year. He was engaged in the
saloon business as Of yore and left
some little property. As attorneys
for the administrator, our firm closed
up this estate in July and handed
over to the mother, Rachel Stobaugh,
OF Hopkins, Mo-, the residue Of thu
estate amounting to $S,O2S.l0, SO The
Abilene heirs are spared the pains
and expense Of putting in theil
claims. The Cripple Greek banl
story is fake and Stobaugh nevel
