By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans, December 26.-There was some improvement in actual and contract cotton today, futures closing 12 points higher than last Friday, while spots are dearer by 1-16c. A better feeling in finan- ciaI circles with values g to s5 higher in Wall street created some confidence in the world of trade, cotton beneftting by the same. The movement continues on very small scale, interior and port receipts for the four days of this veek under running last weeks movement for the same period by 45 0e0 bales, but to offset this feature, the shorts can point to the small exports as compared with last weeks shipments, which 47,OeO bales less, thereby adding to the already large stock of American. It is ffrorrf-this feature that the bears look for support as dear money, they think, Will force southern holders to part with their property. We look for a narrow market during the balance of the year. March closed I'll to 12. -.--a

By Private Wire ito T. G. Hewlett, Agent
 New York, December 26.-As the Liver pool market is in holiday until tomorrow, our market was left with only the size CT receipts to influence it. These arc small
 hence the improvement of points since Frbday's closing Judging from the volume of receipts for the past three days it looks as If we might lose full 5000 bales from last week, which would point to about 2T0,O0O bales for weekly come in sight as against 429 900 bales last year. This caused some new buying for local and southern account. Tue afternoon session opened firm at the best prices reached, business mainly local and still under the influence, first, of small receipts; second, condition in Wall street There seems to- be little if any doubt about the unusually large amount of cotton being held back in the unaccounted interior towns, By Private Wire to T.

STRENGTH IN THE SOUTH

New York, December 26-There was q pretty firm cotton market today considering the absence of cable accounts After open ing quiet but firm at an advance of to s points, sentiment wavered for time and prices fell off few points, but again the market developed pronounced strength, fol- lowing strong accounts from the south re- garding the attitude of holders of spot cot ton, with number of other bullish factors, including a more or less current rumor that Liverpool would be in good shape tomor- row, also that the recent extensive liquida- ton had relieved the market of reason to fear a January "notice" due tomorrow.
 New business went chiefly to the long side of the account. This all led to covering, but at no time was business particularly &C., tice, the preference of the trade being, as a rule, to hold off for tomorrows cables. The market closed very steady at net rise of 7Q14 points.

ralbott & palmer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York December 2s.-Perhaps the most unfavorable circumstance in today's situation was the continued suspension of business in London on account of the Christmas holidays. The local market was thereby deprived of any influence that might have been exerted from that quar- ter, and furthermore there was very little in the war news from Saturday which would have been likely to carry. any con- siderable effect upon the market In the absence of any cue in London the local market was full and strong. The warket opened generally at the advance from Sat urday's final figures, although the initial dealings had some appearances of irregu- larity. Subsequently,, advances averaging 1 point on the railroad list were common, while the indus trials and specialties show ed more pronounced rises. As was to be expected in the general circumstances of the market, in a measure, the days ad- vanees were of hesitation and not fully retained, and the market was not wanting in appearances of hesitation and irregular ity after the opening. Still the beginning of the weeks figures were in pleasant con- trast with last week, and in the market showed the beneficial effects resulting from the many technical and material develop ments of the past fortnight.

 New York, December 26.-The stock market ruled steady but dull today and securities were advanced from 1 to per cent. throughout the entire list. This be-; ing holiday in London there was very light trading from that center. Sugar gained over 2 per cent: T. c. l., l. L. & N, IF; Southern, preferred, 1, while Brook lyn gained CT cent. to 70ss. The money market was easy, opening at per cent and closing at 214 to per cent. Tobacco made gain of per cent. on declaration of regular dividends on both common and pre- ferred stock.

ground, we were enabled by the camp
fires to determine the forces about us.
To the west, along the route we must
take, the lights were few and scattered,
but the country was uneven, and there
was certain faring nebulous light on
the clouds which I did not like. I
feared force beyond the hills. But
we could neither stop where we were
nor go around the light. We must go
straight ahead. We passed down to
lower ground, then over the crest of
the hill. There again, directly before
Us, was the faring light.
"Plunk," said, there are troops
over there; that light looks ominous."
"a single campfire would do that "
replied the corporal, reassuringly.
We did not dare pass through
Georgetown; 1t was too early in the
evening; the citizens would doubtless
be excited by the passage of troops
during the day, and would not be in
clined to sleep; therefore, turning to
the left just before coming to the town,
we passed south of it around the base
of hill, striking the road again a mile
beyond.
We had reached the bottom of de.
preston between two hills, and were
beginning the ascent of the farther
one, when we were suddenly brought
to q stand-still by a Halt, tharl"

THE LIGHT ON THE CLOUDS.

Ik76 ON Id6t CLOUDS,
For an hour we watched the slowly
moving bodies of cavalry; then the
ranks began to grow thinner; detach-
ments were smaller; scattered wagons
appeared, numbered up the valley, and
passed out of sight far in the distance.
Ambulances, men supported in their
saddles by their comrades, evidently
invalids, followed, the distance between
them and the main body constantly in
creasing. The rear was brought up by
stragglers, with here and there groups
of army traders, the former devoting
themselves to plumber, the latter bar
gaining, cheating citizens and soldiers
alike with pinchbeck trinkets.
When PUNK was aroused and
learned that our object had been &C.
complished by woman, his mortiflca-
ton knew no bounds. He went about
getting breakfast sullenly, muttering
that il we ever got back to the COM
mand he would give up scouting and
turn company cook. While we were
eating our breakfast we discussed the
matter of our return. Should we wait
till evening and skulk through under
cover of the night, or set out boldly in
broad day? PUNK was strongly In far
vor of waiting till evening, and Mar
garet was decidedly of his opinion. I
would have declined to listen to PUNK,
but was persuaded by Margaret.
We spent most of the day in arrang-
ing the stories we would tell on the way.
At the outset we discovered one fact
likely to cause trouble. PUNK was in
favor of always making an explanation
that would involve the greatest un-
truth; I was In favor Of mild prsyaxi.

Jurisdiction and be made the final tribunal In
the large majority OF cases the effect would be
to lessen the work OF the Court OF Appeals. and
so facilitate the dispatch OF APPEALED cases. The
subject was thoroughly debated al the conven-
ton in the endeavor to learn what measure OF
relief would he best TO adopt. and finally it was
decided that the Court OF Common Pleas OF the
City and County Of New-York, the Superior
Court OF the City OF New-York and the Superior
Court Of Buffalo should be abrogated and their
Jurisdiction transferred TO the Supreme Court
Circuit courts and Courts Of oyer and Terminer
were likewise done away with. and the Supreme
Court was appointed to administer their func-
tons.

four departments. the seats Of the departments
being in New-York Brooklyn, Albany and Roch-
