New York Nov. St-There was a fall
ing off in the volume of transactions in

ton continued notably active. There
were conspicuous points of strength

stocks were at different times above and
below last nights level. Realizing was
very large in stocks which have been
strongest recently. following the custom
of the market for some time past. Not

Especial to News and Observer)
New Orleans, La, Nov. S.-The expec-
tation of lighter interior receipts and a
smaller in sight this week than looked
for. caused an early Improvement in
Liverpool. Our market, however, open
ed 2 to points lower owing to the abb
sence of buyers, and on the subsequent
easiness in LIVERPOOL declined 5 addi-
tional points. Notwithstanding the in
sight and visible supply figures We're
bearish, the free covering by shorts and
fresh buying occasioned a rally of 10
points from the bottom, but realizing
caused slight recession near the close,
making the net gain ! point on the day.
The twenty nine leading interior towns
during the week received 281 900, against
500, 900 last year, excluding Houston,
where all the decrease comes in. The
other towns are 10000 in excess of last
year. The amount brought into sight
during the week was 500, 900, against
10000 last year and the total marketed
to date has been 3,422000, against $751;
900 last year. The visible supply of
American increased 5000 during the
naat seven days, against an increase of
only $4,000 last year, a relative gain of
172,ot0, and the aggregate to date, which
has been running under last year is now
geo in excess. The total stock ashore
and afloat of American for Liverpool is
591 ,000 against 657, 900 last year, or a
deficit of only $4,000. From the above it
will be seen that the fear of scarcity
of supply in Liverpool has been dispelled
and it also demonstrates that the visible
supply of American is gaining over last
year, having wiped out the deficiency and
is now 10000 in excess. This feature
proves conclusively that spinners are
taking sparingly, corroborating the re-
ports of unsatisfactory textile trade
conditions in Europe. Therefore as the
statistical situation is growing weaker
daily, the holding back of cotton in
Texas does not warrant prominent adj
vance when we consider the apathy OF
spinners and the discouraging outlook
for the disposition of the manufactured
product. 1t is we'll known that stocks
are very large in the interior, conse-
quently il the movement decreases large
ly it will be brought about by the lack
of demand or holders refusing to meet
the decline. While this may materialize
and be instrumental in temporarily
maintaining values it will ultimately be
a weak feature. H. & B. BEER.

the serious dispute between Chilli and
Argentine. Mr.. Lord, United States

several years been engaged in the
ILLUMINATION of the boundary. More
over, Mr.. Lord reports that while the
Argentine minister to Chilli has arriy-
ed in Buenos Ayres, the Argentine
legation at Santiago de Chill has not
been closed and consequently diplo-
matte relations between the two coun-
tries have not been interrupted as
was supposed from the report from

ATTORNEY SHOOTS CLIENT
SUPPOSED TO BE CASE OF TEM-
PORARY INSANITY.
AS the Lawyer Pulled the Trigger He
Said He Would Rather See His
Victim Dead Than Prosecuted.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 24.-W. L.
Dodd, president of the Southern Nut
ual Aid association, who is on trial
in the United States court for alleged
frauds in his Office as treasurer of the
Birmingham Debenture company, was
shot and dangerously wounded this
morning by A. W. Little, one of his
attorneys. It is said the shooting
was due to temporary alteration of
the mind, MI. Little having acted
queerly several times recently.
Mr.. Dodd was shot as he was pre-
pairing to leave his room at 1880
o'clock this morning. AS he started
to the door Mr.. Little rushed into the
room in his night clothes. saying he
was going to kill himself, Mr.. Dodd
and his brother James Dodd were in
the room. Evidently referring to
the trial of Dodd in the debenture
cases, Little shouted:
"Its a blackmail scheme, Dodd, and
l would rather e you dead than per-
secuted this way"
With this he fired, using both hands
to pull the trigger. Mr.. Dodd Crap
pied with his friends and in the strug-
gle four more shots were fired, one
entering the arm and back of Dodd.
James Dodd escaped being shot, as
the cartridge failed to explode.
Owing to Mr.. Dodd's condition the
case against him before United States
Commissioner Cornish has been con-
tinued until January 10.
A. w. Little is a prominent attorney
and al formerly United States con-
sui at Honduras.

DISTRIBUTION OF TURKEYS 70
EMPLOYEES.
MANY PACKAGES ARRIVE
The Customary Christmas Tree Will
Be Dispensed With and the Chill
dren Will Hang Up Stockings.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Eighty-seven
big turkeys yer distributed to the
white house policemen, messengers,
ushers, servants, gardeners and sta
blemen today, with compliments of
the president. Each turkey had on it
a card bearing the seasons compli-
ments. The distribution was the
largest ever made at the white house.
President Mckinley always gave the
turkeys to married employees, but the
list of recipients was never so large
as that of today. The turkeys were
distributed by Henry Pickney, the
white house steward.
Express wagons; mail carriers and
messengers bore packages
to the white house today, presents
to the Roosevelt family, from friends
and admirers throughout the country.
Many of the packages were for the
children, who will not be allowed to
see them until tomorrow.
The programme at the white house
will follow the custom of the family
in former years. There will be no
Christmas tree as has been a part of
the celebration of Christmas in the
Roosevelt family. The children, how
ever, all hang up their stockings and
they will arise early tomorrow to visit
them and ascertain what Santa Claus
has left for them. Later in the morn
ing the children will assemble in the
library, there to receive gifts from
their father and mother. In the af-
ternoon the Roosevelt children will
go to the home of their uncle and
aunt, Captain and Mrs. Cowles, to see
a pretty Christmas tree, and receive
more presents. The dinner will be
served at 1880 and only the family
will be present. On Thursday, if the
weather permits, it is probable that
the Roosevelt family, including the
president, will go down the Potomac
river on a cruise. Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., is going on a hunting trip
with DR.. Rixey, and is very anxious
that his father should accompany him.
The president is inclined to do so if
public business will permit. Even if
the president cannot go it is the pres
ent intention of Mrs. Roosevelt and
some of the other children to accom-
pany DR.. Rixey and Theodore, Jr.

of one square, which is bounded by
West Main street, a rich street, and
Orchard alley. The square was own

entirely destroyed. This store was
valued at $4,000 and was insured for
only about $4,000. It was in this
store that the fire was started by
