New York. Dec. 2S.-Hubbard Bros &

with this our market opened points up,

firm at the best, but quiet. The estimates
for tomorrow at New Orleans and Hous-

COTTON futures.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Bull speculation was
the feature of to-days operations on the
Cotton Exchange. From the very open-
ing shorts were nervous, the news in
general having depicted much firmer con-
ditions than calculated upon, while offer
ings, even at an advance, were surpris-
ingly light. Chief among bullish infu-
ences were the English cables and strong
Southern spot markets. Our market
made a steady start, with prices to 6
points higher. During the forenoon there
was very little departure from this level,
and trading did not reach imposing pro-
portions Early in the afternoon, how
ever there was a decided change, the
volume of speculation and prices advanc-
ing rapidly on vigorous buying by shorts
and aggressive action by bulls.
On the up-turn New Orleans and other
Southern speculative centers sent sub
stantial buying orders. while Europe
bought the March and May option
eagerly.
Bear confidence was shaken by lndica-
lions that receipts would further dwindle
away and persistent rumors that foreign

CRIPPLE OvERTAKEs A THIEF.
One-Legged Acrobat Turns Hand

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In the pursuit of a thief who had robbed
him of Christmas package and his
crutch George Collins. handicapped by the
loss of a leg, outstripped fieet-footed po-
liceman last night and recovered the sto-
en- property, much TO the amusement OF

Service Commission for appointment on
the police force in spite of physical de

of an acrobat was far more lucrative.
Collins crossed Harrison street in adj
vance of car and proceeded toward the
circular walk IN a shadow caused by an
eclipse of the electric light on the other
side OF the thoroughfare. A hungry-look-
ing fellow had been waiting for just such
a combination-an apparently helpless
person with a promising bundle and a
spell of darkness. Grabbing the bundle
in one hand and the crutch i'm the other,
the thief hurried toward Wood street.
Collins was thrown to the ground by the
onslaught, but quickly recovered himself.
A policeman who had been watching the
erstwhiie loiserer with a suspicious eye
was the first to give chase. The distance
between the fugitive and the patrolman
did not seam to lessen and in the block
covered the officer had tired percepdby.

Savannah, Dec. 2s-The feature OF the
markets to-day was the advance of 1-l6
cent on middling cotton and below. Early
in the day there was a spirited demand for
cotton, which was the main factor in i'm
proving prices at the closing call. 1t is
believed this demand will continue while,
and that there will be a considerable
volume of business during the next few
days
Spirits turpentine was firm at As cents,
with a fairly good demand at this price.

I advanced 5 cents at the closing. and Il
