PRICES OF COTTON
WORKING HIGHER
Near Months the Strongest
on the List.
THE TRADING WAS ACTIVE
Steady Close, Prices Net Seven to
Twelve Points Higher.
THE TRADING WAS ACTIVE
WHEAT RISES ON LIGHTER RECEIPTS
Activity in Usually Dormant Stocks Led to the
Belief That the Outside Public Was
Taking an Increased Interest
in the Market.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE volume of bust
ness doing in the cotton goods business the
market, shows no material change from
previous days of the week. The general
tone is dull and in plain brown and grey
cotton goods somewhat easier, although
prices are not quotably lower. Bleached
and coarse colored cottons remain steady.
Print cloths still inactive and wide goods
easy Prints and ginghams no change.
More business doing in mems wear wool
ems as the result of colder weather, but
market still irregular
COTTON.
New York, Dec 12-The cotton market
made a long stride toward recovery of
the late severe decline today. At the
start weak Liverpool cables, large foreign
selling orders, larger receipts than ex-
pected and liquidation gave the market
an easy undertone and forced prices off
one to ten points. After a slight addi-
tional decline the market quietly stead
led on room profit taking. BY eleven
O'Clock the undertone was bordering on
firmness with prices back to last night s
final bid. The market continued to OK
hibit sufficient strength to make bears
suspicious OF a sharp upturn. Smaller
estimates than expected for tomorrow's
receipts at New Orleans and Houston
caused a squirt of heavy general buying
and prices rushed upward until net
rise of from thirteen to twenty seven
points was established. Not a few trad
ers Joined forces with the bulls after
having covered over sales while the wire
houses came into possession of numerous
buying orders from parties who have
fought shy of the market for a long time.
The near months were the strongest on
the list owing to the small stock Of cot
ton in New York on which shorts could
count to make deliveries on contract and
the fact that the local market is so far
below parity with other markets that
cotton can be brought here only at loss.
Trading was active much of the day. At
the close the market was steady with
prices net seven to twelve points higher.

WHAT DEW EY SAYS.

In reply to the persistent lies Of Pet.
tigrew and his kind, that he promised
A%guinaldo that the Filipinos should
have their independence, Admiral
Dewey last Saturday gave the follow.
ing statement to the New York Trib.

tion, either personally or through a re.
preventative, conveyed to Aguinaldo or
any of his associates the assurance that
the United States government would
recognize Filipino Independence.
That will be sufficient for the Ameri-
can people; they will accept Dewey's
word in preference to that Of the cop
rerheads who are aiding and abetting
the Philippine rebellion. They have
the promise Of a government that al
ways keeps it's word that they can have
their independence, so far as they are
capable of properly exercising it, when
they lay down their arms and aoknowl.
edge the sovereignty Of the United
States. This they will be compelled to
do in the end; Uncle Sam will whip
reverence for the stars and stripes into
their heads and then teach them the art
of governing themselves.
