sroCks AND noNns

New York, Feb 13.-The stock market
gave evidence to-day that the selling
movement to take profits, which develop
ed about the middle of last week, had run
its course. The professional operator in
stocks who hesitated to resume operations
on the eve of a double holiday were buy
ers at the opening to-day. There was no
evidence of renewal of outside demand
orders through commission houses being
on a very small scale and not showing
notable increase as prices made progress
upward, but the professional traders
bought with confidence and maintained
prices quite firmly apparently with faith
that outside demand would develop.
There were quite notable advances In
the local traction stocks, due to individual
causes the principal one being a rumor
that Metropolitan was about to take over
Third Avenue. There was heavy de-
mand from shorts In this group. driven to
cover by the strength of tsle stocks thus
offordng material aid to the advance.
Otherwise the strength of the market was
due to the general favorable outlook for
business and industry.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 13-Great excitement
prevailed at the Cotton Exchange to-day
The extraordinary advance of 6l2GI10-64d
at Liverpool, as compared with the closing
figures of Saturday, threw consternat ton
in the ranks of the bears and led to a
heavy demand for covering short contracts
and at the same time broadened epecula-
tive activity with Southern and English
buying orders particularly heavy.
The market was subject to frequent and
violent huctuation with the net general
result in futures of an advance of about
bc, the spot market quotations having
been officially advanced three-sixteenths,
while subsequent special canvass to the
open market for spot cotton showed that
there was a conservative view as very lit
tie cotton, If any. was for sale except at
an advance of nc. The market for flu
lures opened In wild way at an advance
of 1902 points on the near positions and
10 to Is points in the new crop months.
At the best point of the session the
maximum rise on the more active posi-
tons was 30 to SO points, but on the way
to this Improvement there were several
very sharp reactions. when long cotton
came out freely in an effort to secure
profits. The break from the highest to
the lowest point of the day was a mat
ter of 10 to u points. But the afternoon
phases of the market were of q positively
bullish character. Prices again took the
highest level and trading changed to COW
ering and investment demand, the buyers
being largely influenced by reports from
the South of advancing spot markets, re-
luctant sellers and disappointing receipts
The highest official report of actual trans
actions for the day is s0S0O0 bales.
To-day II Is semi-officially estimated in
the absence OF any official record that the
transactions exceeded the record Buying
was stimulated by private cables cacu-
lated to show that the short interest in
England was still very great. notwith-
standing recent enormous buying for Liv-
erpooI account. few dispatches from
the South on acreage subject were In cir
culation without attracting attention. ow-
ing to the prevailing excitement and
enormous influx Of business.

rise of II to 38 points.

Scotch and Irish WHISTLES.

The finest imported from Scotland and
Ireland are to be had from Lippman
Brothers. They are imported by that firm
in bottles from the distilleries in Scotland
and ireland. And If you want the cele-
brated Old Highland Scotch whiskey, or
tha Wheeler Irish whiskey, call on Lipp-
man Brothers for IL.
This Arm has decided to sell all imported
wines and liquors al retail, which we think
is quite an acquisition for our Savannah
consumers.
IJppman Brothers have something espe-
ciaIiy nice from Scotland called Cherry
wblskey, imported from Rutherford of
I,eith. Scotland, and we are safe in saying
nothing like this has ever been imported
In these parts before. 1t has the most
delightful cherry flavor. and the whiskey
is not of the strongest type.-ad.

at the Lower Mills. Satilla Bluff, in the
presence of a large congregation Mrs.
Grace f. Trussen and Mr. William o.
McGowin were married by Bishop Nelson

Rev. Alban Greaves.
AS the strains of the beautiful wedding
march were heard the bride approached
the altar upon the arm of Mr.. j. A. Fos-
ter. the groom came from the robing room
and joined them. The solemn words of
the beautiful marriage Service spoken to
join two so justly popular persons, the
presence of the Bishop, an arch-deacon
and a priest and the decorations of the
chapel in honor of the occasion, rendered
the event peculiarly interesting and one
to be remembered
The bride was most becomiugly attired
in a handsome costume of lavender silk,
with white reliefs and the picture
of exquisite womanly grace. Her flowers
were violets.
After the ceremony the bridal couple
and a few friends were entertained with
an elegant dinner at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs ]. A. Foster.
The bride. who is the daughter of Hon.
John Hopkins of Millbury, Mass, is the
possessor of many personal charms and
charming characters tics. She has many
warm friends in Camden who heartily
welcome her back to their circle, to which
she is a decided acquisition. The groom
holds an enviable place in the esteem of
ell who know him, both in the soclaf
and business world, and since coming to
Camden to accept his present responsible
position with the Hilton-Dodge Lumber
Company has won host of friends.
To the hearty expressions of good will
and congratulations that have been ten
dered to Mr.. and Mrs. McGowin the Geor-
gian begs to add its share. May their
life be one of unalloyed happiness and
observation-disclosures Georgian.

REPUBLICANS OF THE NINTH.
VIII Meet for Business at Gains
vile On Saturday.

Gainesville Ga. Feb. 1S.-The Republic
cans of the Ninth Congressional district
will meet in Gainesville next Saturday.
1t is expected that the meeting will be in
theN nature of a love feast the opposing
factions having agreed to work together
after being at loggerheads for long time.
This reconciliation is due TO none other
than that wheelhorse of Republicanism in
Georgia, the Hon. Henry Z. Farrow, eX-
attorney General of Georgia, at present
postmaster of Gainesville.
Another matter which will be decided
next Saturday is that ofa Republican can
didate for Congress from the Ninth Dis
trict. Farrow was the last candidate but
he does not want the empty honor again.
However, it is q settled fact that the man
nominated will be the selection of this
same Farrow. Numerous names have been
suggested but it is not yet known who will
get the plum
Prof Z. H. Robertson has been re-elect-
ed by the County Board of Education as
County School Commissioner.

COTTON.

The cotton market closed firm to-day at
an advance all around of 1-16 cent. This
brings middling to 8 9-16c, good middling,

ported. II seems holders have become
thoroughly impressed with the fact that
cotton Is coveted staple in many large
markets, and are therefore DESTROYS of get
ting the best possible prices. The interior
is still reported to be holding for 8 cents,
and buyers are generally informed this is
about the market. The receipts to-day
showed an increase above previous days,
the total being 1878 bales. The
trade is still decidedly buliish
and the indications, judging from the
flrmness of spots throughout the belt
point TO further advances before top notch
prices are reached.
