COTTON MARKET
 RULED BY BEARS Feature Was the Liquidation of
 March Holdings LONGS WERE DISGUSTED Market Opened Steady in Tone With Near honths Advancing, and

LONGS WERE DISGUSTED

New York, February 1S-Friends of cotton had q trying day on change. while the bears scored successes the equal of which have not been noted in many weeks. The feature of today's operations was the liquidation of March holdings by thoroughly disheartened longs and the persistent selling of near months by the bear interest in general. From the start operations were conducted on a liberal scale, with present crop options receiving the bulk of attention. The early English cables were much better than looked for, while receipts at the ports proved to be barely half those for the same day year ago. There were few buying or ders for March and May, in evidence of the hold-off-for-awhile theory.
 The market opened steady in tone, with near months higher to unchanged, and far months unchanged to ] point lower The stability was of brief duration, as soon after the call great blocks of March cotton came out hurrieily, which started active liquidation of May and July.
 General selling on a large scale was soon in force and under the pressure prices crumbled rapidly. Liverpool op- posed weakness here for time, but sub sequently conformed to the lower figures and closed well down to the figures cur rent Saturday noon here. At midday prices had recovered some on profit-tak- ing by shorts but later the market again turned weak under fresh spurt of gen eral selling and absence of demand of any character The estimates for tomor- rows ,ceipts at leading ports were in accodance with general ideas and spot markets also changed as expected. Gloomy cotton goods and dry goods mar ket accounts helped to create prejudice against the market, as did the heaviness in the stock market. The emarket closed net to points higher.

James B. Brown is one of the most
popular of the young men who have
announced their candidacy for Office sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Brown is at present cashier
of the City Tax-Receiver's Office and
wants to be elected Tax Receiver when
Mr.. James B. Camps time expires.
James Buckner Brown was born in
Lawrenceburg, Anderson county,
twenty-nne years ago. When he was
about three years old his family removed
TO Shelbyville, where he was raised and
educated.
His first work after leaving school was
in the Office of weekly paper at Shelby
vile. But he had a taste for a more
lucrative employment and in 1889 he
came to Louisville and assumed position
as clerk in the local Office of the Singer
Sewing Machine Manufacturing Com
pany. Six months later he was pro-
NOTED to the highest position in the
Office. that of cashier. How well and

A London correspondent writil

A London correspondent writing
to the Dublin Freeman said the
arrival of Mrs. Botha in England
has given fresh hope to the Jingoes,
who are now 50 anxious for peace
hon their own terms. Feeling the
dnch. Of the war sorely themselves,
hey jump at every suggestion that
the Beers may be inclined to give
vav. She, it is true. is in favor of
the acceptance of terms, but not
3the terms offered by England.
Her husband and De Wet are
utterly against the acceptance OF
any terms which do not concede
independence, or which would sub
\ nit them to be in any way ham
pered in making provision for the
future defense of their country
against any further aggression.
They will not submit to disarma-
nent, for they have been taught
by bitter experience that the only
guarantee they have that England
will fulfil any treaty she makes lies
in their own capacity to make it
awkward for her if she attempts to
violate it. Some people say that
chamberlain and his worthy con-
federates have been engaged at
FIishbury in framing a new consti-
tuition for South Africa under
which the Beers would get auton-
omy upon complete submission.
To frame constitution is as easy
a matter for Chamberlain as to cal
his breakfast, but his constitutions
have unfortunately partaken of the
same ephemeral character as the
= matutinal meal.

OUR THIRD ANNIVERSARY.

The original settlers of Kentucky
were of good Irish stock, and since
1888 the Celtic race has taken a
prominent part in the affairs of the
old Commonwealth. Until three
years ago there never had been a
distinctively Irish-American news
paper printed in Kentucky. This
is the third anniversary of the
Kentucky Irish American.
We are happy to say that the
Irish-American people of Kentucky,
without regard to political feeling
or religious belief, are giving this
paper their support, and every day
we feel we are growing in strength.
At first it was uphill business, and
we often felt that we must give up
the fight, but friends urged us to
keep on, and the result is that the
Kentucky Irish American is now
OH its feet, and we hope will grow
and yield an influence long after
the present editor and proprietor
has Joined the silent majority.
The paper speaks for itself. We
have been commended on all sides
of late by our subscribers for its
handsome typographical appear
ance, the excellence of its local and
literary departments, as well as for
the fine quality of material on
which the paper is printed.
1t will be our aim to increase not
only the circulation but also to
improve every department. The
leading merchants of Louisville are
now literally patronizing our adver-
Using columns, and our subscrip-
ton list is increasing every week.
We have no fault to find, except
that some OF our subscribers are
short in RENTING their subscrip-
lions. thinking perhaps that we
should call upon them. We find
little time to call on our subscribers
on account of our labors in the
other departments. Take it all in
all we have reason to feel thankful
To all our subscribers and advertis-
ers. and hope they may live to see
the paper grow in influence and
that the Irish Americans of Ken
lucky may have their just dues in
Louisville and i'll Kentucky.
