Its Responsibility for Losses Caused by
Incorrect Cotton Quotations.

incorrect Sottoh quotations..
SAVANNAH. Ga. Oct. 3.-Presdert Williams
OF tho Savannah Cotton Exchange received
this morning from Charlton. Mackall & An
derson. attorneys for the Exchange an opinion
holding tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany liable for losses suffered in dealings in
cotton on tho Exchange on Friday by reason OF
tho erroneous reports sent over its wires The
attorneys say tho telegraph company is liable
to the Exchange for not only actual loss OF
money but also any loss that can be CONF uted in
money; that individual members OF the EI-
change are entitled to recover from the telc-
graph company any actual losses suffered by
the sale or purchase OF cotton that the Ex-
change is not liable to it's mem bers for any
loss. and that no losses can be recovered aris-
ing from dealings in futures
President Williams was asked II the losses OF
any Savannah oporators were very great on
account of Fridays advces. He was OF tho
opinion that tho actual loss would not amount
to much. Many Of those who did lose little
have made it UP on the firm and rising market
that has prevailed since Friday.

After more than an hours considera-

cient Gen. Horatio o. King, secre-
tary Of the society. was directed to adj
wise the mayor that the desire TO 90 to
fredericksburg was general, but there
were apprehensions that the hotel facil-
tiles were not adequate to entertain so
large a number as are present on those
occasions The next year a standing
invitation was extended to the society,
to be accepted when it should be pleased
to do so.
Mayor Rowe and the city council

these facts aud extended for the third

society to hold its reunion in 1900 at
the hospitable city, which so loves its
enemies Of lS6l-'G5 that it is anxious

Gent that the latch strings OF the citi-
