COTTON FUTURES.
Business Mostly Represents With
drawaIs on Both Sides.

Business Mostly Represents With
drawa1s on Both Sides.
New York July 2O.-Interest in the cot
ton market showed abatement to-day and
a large portion of the business done rep
resented Withdrawals by operators from
each side. The course of pendulations was
too cratic to afford bulls or bears mark
ed advantage and increased the timidity
in outside speculative circles caused by
the sensational political news from China.
The opening was easy with first sales
showing a drop of to II points. The
weakness did not eliminate until August
had fallen to 9.07c and January S.10c. The
South, the West, the foreign element and
the room trade all sold freely on the
slump, traders giving special attention to
the August option. The cables received
just after our opening conveyed the i'm
preston that longs in Europe were dis
trustful and inclined to unload as a mat
ter of precaution. But with startling
rapidity sentiment in the Liverpool mar
ket swung completely around near the
close and badly frightened shorts here.
Prices advanced with a rush, August
climbing TO 9.27c and January TO s.16c be-
fore breathing spell was taken. Before
midday a partial relapse set in. Rumors
gained circula ton to the effect that in
fiuential European bulls had formed
strong clique to bulge the summer months.
This story lacked confirmation, but kept
shorts on the uneasy seat the greater part
of the session. The market closed quiet
and steady, with prices net unchanged 20
s points lower.

ness which impaired a weakness to val

seminoIes of Florida.

Lake Worth News: A concerted attempt
is being made to ascertain the actual
number of Seminole Indians in Florida
There are but three tribes of this once
powerful race left. In Breverd county
the Cow Creek" band ranges over the
southern part of the county, centerng
near Fort Drum, by which name the tribe
is sometimes known. The Miami band
ranges through the eastern part of the
Everglades, in Dade county, be-
tween Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and
the third remnant. known as the big
Cypress or "Chakoliskee" bank pursues
its chosen way along the western border
of the Everglades, from Lake Okeecho-
bee to Chakoliskee bay. AT the last ses-
SION of the Legislature large tracts of
land were granted for the use of their
band, and Congress has been asked to
endorse this action by granting lands in
peTpetuity. In view of these facts J. o.
Fries of Orlando and Archibald Hendry
of Fort Pierce have been appointed as a
commission 70 take census of the three
bands, in order to arrive at a just set
clement of the entire matter touching
their rights.

JACKsoNvILLE's STREET CARS.
There VIII BE n Brisk Contest over
the Franchise.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 20.-There will
be a brisk contest to secure the street
railway franchises here after all. When
the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western Rail
read withdrew their offer some time ago,
it was thought that the Plant System
stood an excellent chance to get the fran
chise, as the offers made by the home
company, headed by w. F. Coachmnn
and others, were not as good as the Plant
Company.
But now there is another Richmond in
the field" and the fight promises to be
close and exciting new company, head
ed by Judge W. b. owen. one of the city s
most progressive citizens, and man OF
means, has made many very liberal offers
to the city. This company agrees to
equip the lines with the newest and most
improved cars, and to run a ten-mnute
schedule (he present being a fifteen
minute cne). It viii give the city per
cent. of its gross receipts from the start
and allow the city to purchase its plant
at the expiration of five years. 1t also
agrees to give the city, at the expiration
of the five years one-fourth OF
its entire stock, or to continue
The ) per cent. consideration allow
ing the city to choose between the three
the expenses of any legal litigation,
should any be brought by the Jacksopvilie
Street Railway Company, and will pur-
chase the plant of the latter at an arbi-
tration value.
This company also agrees to sell to the
school children thirty tickets for 80 cents,
being a three-cent fare for them. 1t also
agrees from 90 a. m. and from p. m.
to p. M. to carry laboring men on tick
cts purchased for cents, which will be
sold at the same rate as the school chill
dren's, viz, thirty for 80 cents. They
bind themselves TO carry all persons on
tickets purchased a not greater rate
than twenty-five for 81. thus practically
giving a four-cent rate TO the public.
Many other provisions are inserted
guarding the city's interests. The clause
giving the city the privilege of purchas-
ing the plant at the end of five years. is
the closest proposition to municipal owner
ship that has yet been offered.
