New York, Nov. 2O.-There has been
a feeling of increased firmness in the
dry goods market due to higher prices
for raw cotton with a continued
steady market for the raw material.
There is likely to be, in the Judgment
of authorities, a higher level establish
ed for piece goods. Some new prices
have been made ON the tickings ana

COTTON.
New York, Nov. 2O.-Trading on the
Cotton Exchange today was spasmodi-
cally active with the bears in controi
in the morning and the bulls during
the late session. While the public was
not conspicuous as an early operator,
the outside investors later were lead
ing supporters of the market. The
opening was easy with prices five
points lower to two points higher.
The opening was easy with prices five

liverpool opened in accordance with
our close last night and soon lost a
portion of the advance. This led to
confusion of opinions here as the do
nestle news was signally bullish.
Heavy profit-taking soon became gem
era1 and bears pounded the near posi-
tions. Abnormally heavy receipts
capped the climax so far as hesitate
ing holders were concerned and before
the selling movement ran its course
prices were down ten to seventeen
points. Soon after midday the market
displayed symptoms of returning
strength and with the change in the
feeling, shorts covered. Liquidation
ceased and the whole tenor of the mar
ket swung around to a positive bull
ish position. The semi-weel<ly interior
receipts were less than expected, the
estimates for tomorrows receipts
showed radical falling off, while the
official reports from the leading spot
centres told of 1-3 to LAC higher prices
with offerings light at the advance.
This array of bullish factors complete
" routed the bears. Investment or
ders came in with increasing rapidity
and prices advanced rapidly. Cover
ing was active in the last hour and
shorts feared a bulge in Liverpool to-
morrow. Wall street and the South
were prominent buyers all the late ses-
sion.

A vERycLEvER swINDLE.
Mason County Official Signed CHECK
instead Of a marriage certificate.

A. L. Thorn, county commissioner
of Mason county, was fieeced out OF
$500 last week in a slick manner. He
was the victim Of three fiimfammers
who worked him easily on the mar
riage racket.
A stranger appeared at his home in
the country Tuesday night, and asked
for supper and lodging. He told Thorn
that he wasa circuit rider and had
been lost on the road thus causing his
delay.
Thorn rather took fancy to the
fellow and the two men were enjoy
ing an after supper talk, whena young
couple drove up to the house and ask
ed TO be directed to preachers house
as they wanted to be married. Thorn
told them minister was stopping
over night at his house and they
might secure his services. The minis
ter was consulted and consented to
tie the knot.
The young couple was ostensibly
married and Thorn was called upon to
sign the certificate as witness in the
ceremony. He went to PIT. Pleasant
Thursday and found that his bank
account was short just an even 800.
He was showna check for that amount
payable to bearer and it then dawn
ed ON him that when he signed the
supposed certificate OF marriage, he
had signed the check. 1t was aclever
swindle.
