investment orders. It was even rumored today that a certain statistician who has been most positive all the season that the maximum of the crop would not be over 9,750,GO0 bales, would raise estimate to 10, 250, 000.
 This has been the most popular estimate among the trade in general for some months and we believe has been fully discounted by the decline in values during that time. Total port receipts today, 10.- 665 bales, against ,163 and 6,651 same days a week and year ago.
 Rather liberal estimates again for Hous- ton, 5000 to 350O against BITS and 216. At New Orleans, however, only 800 to 1,500 bales are expected. against 119 and 1884 It looks as if 1t will see a quiet market during the near future, but we do not look for much decline.
 We believe purchases of new crop months at around the cent level are advisable.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. May 15.-There was not much doing in the market for spot cot ton today There was some demand for the better grades, but lists of those quail tiles are difficult to secure free from un- desirable trailers, and where they are to be had factors are holding them at prices so stin as to interfere materially with the movement. Liverpool shows a slight improvement today, and to that extent factors are measurably encouraged, but there is little in the general situation to induce them to hold on to the heavy stocks of low grade and sandy cottons now on hand and buyers find little diff culty in closing for lists of that charac- ter at slightly lower shadings. Sales 140o, including 400 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 The market for contracts was very dull during the first part of the day. Op- orators seemed to be in waiting mood and the sales record, except for few turns in July engagements. was meas urably free from chalk marks. Under or dinary circumstances the opening would have been the signal for a vigorous bull onslaught, since Liverpool stood 1-32d higher for spots and a shade better for deliveries, and it was followed on this side by first call advances of 1 to ' points. But after the call all steam seemed to have escaped from the mar ket, and operations fell away 10 the nt- tie point of nothing, while prices sagged down steadily until near the close, with a slight recovery May finally closing at 7.40p7 .51; June 7.41@7. 43; July 7S747 .3S, while the other months were to ' points higher than yesterdays closing.

 New York May 15.-Fluctuations today were confined to a very narrow range, and as may be inferred there was very light trade. The undertone, however, considering everything, was quite strong. Liverpool also showed stronger tone during the day, while shorts there were rather nervous owing to the unfavorable crop reports from certain sections of the South, referred to in our letters of the past few days. The greater strength here today was in the distant months, and there appears to be quiet buying of the

 Though business was certain on an in- finitely small scale on the stock market here today the tone was brighter and much more hopeful The settlement which is concluded today. discloses nothing of serious nature.

Prices began wide, but generally well above parity. Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul common was the leader, with an advance of points. Business, however. was a matter of ne- gotiation. When New York opened with an acceptance of Londons lead arbitra- geurs appeared for the first time since the crash and began selling specialties heavy on a rumor that there was a hitch in the negotiations for a compromise on the Northern Pacific troubles.

SI7UATION SERIOUS.
Armed Snake Band Of Fanatical
FSllbloods Are Too Powerful
to be Met Except 10y Gov
ernment Troops-Two
Indians Arrested.

A dispatch from Checotah last
night says Eastman Polk and
Joseph Starvey, two Indian light
horsemen, acting under orders
from the "Snake" band of disaf-
fected Indians. were arrested in
Checotah this afternoon'by Deputy
Marshal Sam Baker, sunder in
strnctions from United States
Marshal Bennett. and were taken
to Muskogee tonight and lodged
in Jail. The two men came into
Checotah heavily armed and post
ed notices similar TO those posted
in Eufaula Monday, warning In
dians against employing white
men or renting to them.
The two men offered no resist
ance when they were placed under
arrest, but several of their friends
who were in town left Immediately
for the rendezvous of the gang
west of here, and it is feared by
many that the town will beiinvadsd
before morning for the purpose OF
rescuing them, and when they
learn that they have been spirited
away they may attempt to burn
the town.
The people OF Checotsh and the
surrounding country are consider
ably wrought up and everybody is
armed tonight and pickets are sta
toned all over town, SO II they
should make a raid here they will
get one of the warmest receptions
they ever experienced. In the
rural distsicts they are getting
bolder add more defiant all the
time, and unless troops are OrGered
here Immediately serious compli-
cations are sure to occur, because
it il evident to everyone that the
civil authorities cannot cope wsth
them. To attempt such thing
would only be adding fuel to Toe
flames.
A report reached Checotah to.
night that Captain G w. Grayson,
ex.delegate to Washington, aud
former Second Chief Robey Mcln-
tosh we're arrested this afternoon
and each given SO lashes on the
bare back. Their offense was rent
ing their farms to white men. Nc
Intosh has been ia Checotah all
this week in order to avoid them,
and only left for his farm this
mornipg. He has between 30 and
100 we'll organized men together
for self-protection. but il seems the
gang got the drop on him today.
There is no knowing when the
trouble will eud.
