New York, November de-
clined in Liverpool today about 1-64d
to 2-64d, but receitps at ports were
moderate. estimated today at $4,000
bales, against $1,000 last week, and A.
900 h same day last year. This mar
ket opened 5 to z points lower and
reacted shortly after opening on liberal
buying for continental account. South
ern bulls sold during forenoon, as the
weather over the belt was considered
favorable for the opening of large bOlls,
and also for picking. The absence Of
outside speculative buying, coupled
with disposition to reduce holdings
caused easier feeling towards noon
2:15 p. m.-Our correspondent ait Mad
ison, Georgia, wires as follows: While
prices of cotton n high, 1 was never
as confident of big advance as I am
now. This place is nearly 1000 bales
behind last year, up to late. Every
body comedies there is a larger proper
ton of this crop sold to date than on
n corresponding date a year ago.
If this is true it NEAR TO- 600, 900 bales
maximum crop.
Chicago. November 1.-THE wheat
market was weak, and lower this
morning selling down quickly at the
opening, with considerable pressure due
to further disappointment at the cables
and professional selling. Open quota
tons were unchanged, the market def
veloplng during the forenoon.
Both English and continental cables
were lower. but there was not a great
deal OF foreign trade in the market.
Western advices were that profession
ais were free sellers, and there was a
good deal of wheat, which was bought
last night for a reaction, put on the
market n northwest receipts were
o large, only 391 cars, against 6s1
cars last year. The fact of the large
Russian and Danubian exports last
week, with the prompt response his
week OF the European markets to the
American decline has been quite a dis
cOuraging feature of the market. Wheat
heavy, closing quiet.
Corn-There was moderate active
trading at lower prices influenced in
part by the weakness of the wheat and
by the fact of some speculative as well
as cash pressure apparently on the in
terror markets Weather conditions
good Corn was firm late.

ProviSions@ln hog products there was

weak, and lower, selling down readily
during the morning with quite active

Got Shot and Sent to Jail Too

Mayor A. NJ. Waddell gave a hearing
yesterday morning to Solomon Lowery
and Anderson Jacobs, the negro freight
hands who engaged in a shooting af-
fray in the Atlantic Coast Line freight
yards on Monday afternoon. Jacobs
who shot Lowery in the thigh, was dis
charged, as the testimony showed that
he shot in self-defense. Witnesses
testified that Lowery fired at Jacobs
two or three times with a pistol and
that Jacobs ran to a box car to pro-
tect himself. Lowery followed him up
attepted to open the box car to shoot
again, w~hereupon Jacobs fired the shot
which brought Lowery Town.
Mayor Waddell held Lowery for as
sault with a deadly weapon and bound
him over for trial in the criminal court
which conveneS next Monday. In de-
fault OF bail, he was committed to
Jail.

Cotton Futures.

New York. November 14.-There was
less activity in cotton today. At the
opening there was a decline of 3 10 I
points under adverse cables. notwith-
standing recent talk of a lighter move
ment. Later, it was stated that ELL
son had promulgated a bullish report
regarding the consumption OF Great
Britain and raw supplies figures. The
market here promptly rallied and adj
vanced 6 to 9 points from the low level
of the opening. All classes bought:
the shorts were particularly active III
their efforts to cover Export houses
sold on the advance and prices eased
off again. A sitting as to outside bus
mess showed an unsatisfactory pro-
portion of investment orders. At the
same time forecasts of the light move
ment in the tlantic states was offset
by forecasts of a continued large moxe-
ment upon the southwest. In the af-
ernoo the local contingent were in
clined to sell on the idea that spinners
would not pay present prices for cotton
in view the the unsatisfactory ompar-
ison with prices for cotton products.
while the movement of cotton was suf-
ficently neavy at least for the time
being. The market closed quiet, . TO :
points lower.
