W. H. Bachelor g. Co., Ltd, say Of cot
ton:
The situation at the start this morning was
not calculated to inspire confidence, the easier
attitude Of the English naturally reflected
in this market, but the early loss here was
not only restored later but a material ad-
vance on the day was established, due 10
the withdrawal OF spot offerings from the
country, further bullish statistics, as we'll
as the anticipated unfavorable bureau on
Monday next. Reports from the country are
unan nous as to the continued firmness Of
the spot situation. Fall River advises that
the booming cotton goods trade is yet IN It's
infancy; private cables continue to indicate
nervousness abroad, showing they are grad
ually awakening to their precarious posi-
ton in the matter of raw supplies, and tn the
course OF today's market offers contradic-
ton to the impression that they are Wiling
to pursue their policy of delay as long as
they believed that there was prospect OF n
break in the American markets. The chron,
icles summary OF the crop reports that tho
weather in the South during the past week
has been favorable for marketing cotton, with
little or no rain. Picking is virtually COM
pleted in the Little Rock section and Angus
ia, Ca, advises gathering inlshed ana over
halt the crop marketed in that vicinity.

H|GHB|NDER WAR
IN MARYSV|LLE
Many Shots Fired but
No One Injured.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

MARYSVILLE, Dec. 4-Seventy-five
shots, fired as rapidly as a dozen or more
warning highbinders could pump bullets
from their revolvers, relieved the erst-
while quiet of Marysvilles Chinatown at
10 o'clock this morning. 1t was battle
number two Of the Hop Sing-Suey Sing
feud, which was transferred from Chico
to this city several weeks ago, the first
scrimmage on the 25th OF last month re-
sulting in the death Of Hoey Gin of the
Hop Sing tong.
The corner of First and c streets was
the scene of battle, the headquarters Of
the opposing, tongs being on opposite cor
ners. Though only the width of the street
separated the shooters there are no killed
or wounded to report. Several windows
doors and signs show evidence of the fu-
sillade.
Sheriff Bevan has arrested Leo Dec and
Jew Wing. members of Suey Sings, and
has charged them with the murder OF
Hoey Gin, IL is said, at the instance of
two representatives of the Hop Sings
coming from San Francisco. This move
has intensified the feeling existing and a
lively battle is looked for soon. A number
of San Francisco hatchetmen are enlisted
for the war.

Output of Idria Mines.

SAN LUIS OBISPO. Dec 4.-The Idria
mines are making their usual output OF
quicksilver of 400 TASKS per month. AL
though for several months past they have
been short OF miners they have at present
a full working force many vacant places
having been filled lately. The mine has
gone on steadily improving. Electric
lights have lately been placed in the
mines and at the furnace. being a great
improvement on the old system. The
amount OF rock taken out of the mine is
simply wonderful. and they are still run
ming new tunnels. BY the working of ores
by the old system Of furnaces they lost a
large percentage of quicksilver. but now
with the late Improvements they are able
10 work the dumps with good profit.
