GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND

New York, December 5.-The market for
cotton goods did not exhibit special fea-
lures of interest today. The opening was
steady at unchanged prices to u decline of
2 points, While occasional periods CT stead
mess were noted. The general trend was
downward under almost total absence of
speculative support.
Finding the market in somewhat heavy
condition. timid holders unloaded shortly
after the call, thereby adding to the de-
preston. Room bulls for a time at the
start offered feeble support, but later be-
came Indifferent. The English cables were
Disappointing as a whole. but were counter
acted in effect by light receipts and reit-
eraUions of pronounced frmness in spot
markets.
The semi-weekly movement at the in
terror towns was practically as estimated
and failed to exert the slightest influence.
Shorts Were made cautious on the ono
hand by the pressure of numerous limited
buying orders scaled down, while the bull
crowd were forced to recognize as a most
potent factor the existence of very many
selling orders for profits in all advances.
LAs to the purport of next Mondays gov
eminent report, ideas are still very much
at sea. The market a. the close was steady
with prices net unchanged to 7 points
lower the former on next crop months
only.

GAMES TODAY.
baltimore Mt Washington.
New York at Boston.
Philadelphia at Brooklyn.

This afternoon at National Park the SEN
ators and Orioles will conclude the series
in which they have been engaged since
last week Nops, the crack pitcher Of the
Baltimores, will probably be in the box for
the. visitors, and as McFarlan only had
three innings OF work at Baltimore on
Saturday, he will moro than likely be call
ed on to do the twirling for the home team.
Each of the teams has won and lost q
game and a hard fight for the rubber
may be expected One of the games was
postponed and will be played of at Bal
timore at some future date.
swartwood and Hunt will be the umpires
this afternoon, and a fair deal for both
sides is assured. Swartwood's work on
balls and strikes was the best seen here
this season. and from ali reports Hunt has
been giving satisfaction. Any relief from
the miserable efforts of Mcdonald and
Manassau will be appreciated.
Beginning today, the Senators have a Sc
ries OF twelve games at home. One with
Baltimore, three with Louisville, three with
Cincinnati and FIVE with the Cleyelands,
is the bill Of fare prepared for the locals.
and Manager Irwin's men are determined
TO get even with the Colonels and Red
Legs for the defeats on the Western trip.
Carsey will be given the opportunity to
earn his salary during the present week.
He is confident Of his ability. and with
the kind OF support that the Senators are
now giving the twirlers, he should prove a
winning pitcher keenan, is still without
the fold, but he may be under contract by
the time the Exiles arrive, and if so he
will also try his hand against the Cleve-
lands

BABY GIRL MISSING.
Lizzie Cassidy's Parents Believe She
Has Been kidnapped.

New York, July 9.-The infant daughter
Brooklyn, is missing. The parents believe
she has been kidnapped. The Brooklyn
police do not believe she has been kid
naped, but think that the girl is lost.
The Cassidy family is poor. There are
three children besides Lizzie, the missing
baby, the oldest being Katie, aged four
teen. Lizzie is two and half years old,
but small and delicate. She appears like
child much younger, and can hardly tod
die about. She can say few words.
Katie, the Oldest girl. took her sister
out in her carriage on Friday morning.
When she returned home she left the
baby playing on the steps of the house
while she entered to do some work for
her mother. She was gone a few mo-
ments, but when she returned the child
had disappeared.
The mother and sister searched the
neighborhood in vain. AT night Mr.. Cas-
| sidy and neighbors continued the search
but no trace of the missing child was
found. Yesterday morning the police were
| notified.
Cassidy is employed at Arbuckle's coffee
| factory in Brooklyn. There is no possible
reason why anyone should steal the child.
| The police believe that she wandered away.
Every house in the neighborhood has been
| searched.
Frank Pool, who is employed by Juicse
| Brothers, fruit dealers at 124 Bridge
| Street, Brooklyn, reported to the police
that a man leading a little girl answering
the description of the missing child went
| into the fruit store and purchased scme
bananas for her. The child was crying.
The man said that she was lost The only
description Pool can give of the man is
| that he was large and wore blue serge
suit.
The missing baby has blue eyes and
black hair. There is a small scar on her
forehead and on one shoulder. When she
disappeared she wore a pink flannel dress,
black shoes and stockings
