COTTON.
New York. Oct. 14.-The market for
cotton futures opened quiet and firm
with points 1 to II points higher and
continued to improve during the next
fifteen minutes on active general buying
led by the bears. Wall street, Euro
pean. the South, the West, spinners and
room bulls bought large lines of near
and winter months, basing this demand
on strong English cables and frost re-
ports from pretty much all the North
ern section of the central and western
belt Included in early buying were
large purchases for the account of spot
dealers South who had hedged here
against holdings of cotton, covering
these hedges after having sold enor-
nous accounts to exporters and domes-
tic spinners. The frost report Of govern
ment origin included Northern Texas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Tennessee. Northern Mississippi and
Northern Louisiana. This with fore
cast from Washington for frosts over
Northern Georgia, Western North Caro-
lima and South Carolina and Tennessee.
greatly alarmed the bears and caused
spinners to make quick turns for cotton
with which to spin cloths for delivery
in December and January, latter sales
having been made last month. Small
port and interior receipts, damage ac-
counts. smaller offerings of spot cotton
throughout the South and good accounts
from spinning centers kept the local
market firm all the late forenoon and
during the afternoon. Most fluctua-
tons did not exceed points, with De-
cember leading to the rise. The room
trade took profits near midday, but once
more went long at the last half hour
The close was very steady with prices
net to 10 points higher. Total sales
were estimated at 100000 bales, probably
the largest single days business thus
far this season.

RAID MADE ON PHILLIPS
THE CORN King.
Effort to Force Him to the Wall in Chicago
Driven From Wheat Market.

Chicago. April 3.-A strong effort was
made on the board of trade today to
crowd George H. Philips, the Corn
King" to the wall. He was driven
clear out of the wheat market, but
gave up none Of his holdings in corn
and oats.
The day was the biggest of it's kind
the board has witnessed in many years,
the governing conditions unusual and
the jam of struggling, bowling brokers
and traders cutting antics filling the
public galleries to the limit.
May wheat sold down to 7112@1f5s,
and closed at 1925 D7212, net loss for
the day of 2 cents. May corn tumbled
TO 402z cents, the net-loss for the day
being rs. The slump was FASTENED byJ
the closing out of trades Of St. Louis
operators. May oats went to 241z and
closed at 245s cents.
Calls for margins were made on Phil
lips TO the extent of nearly $250,000
more, all such demands being met
promptly. His firm now has nearly
$500, 600 up as margins, some of which
will be- released tomorrow.
The attempt to snatch the sceptre
from the Corn King" resulted in fur
theT heavy losses to his customers,
either actual or paper profits. in corn
and of heavy losses on oats, but Phil
lips stuck to his policy. At the close
he declared he had not been shaken out
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-04-04

of his corn and oats, and believed they
would do better tomorrow.
The wheat deal was different story
Phillips advised his customers to sell,
and unIoaded nearly 100000 bushels
early This wheat showed an average
loss of at least 212 cents a bushel, or
nearly S25, 600. The markets were in
tensely nervous. and in wheat in the
first minute of the session prices
ranged from y to nearly ? cents below
the closing price.
The prompt response by phillips to
morning calls for margins steSdied the
markets, but towards noon, on his SELL
ing out his wheat on general liquida-
ton, and on the reported failure of q
St Louis corn speculator, there were
further sharp declines. After the close
he was advising customers to keep a
stiff upper lip" and was acting on
that advice himself.
4 believe that corn and oats have
had all the break they will have" he
said, land will do better tomorrow.
have advices from the dozen points in
Illinois and Iowa that farmers have
little corn to sell or that roads are i'm
passable, and feeders are taking the
corn at higher than Chicago prices,
and that seeding of oats is already de-
layed a week. There will be more rains
the next week, and if seeding should be
delayed until April Is, as is likely, you

ment Of the Malacanan palace and
awaiting orders from Washington. had
expressed himself as anxious to learn
more regarding the American system of
government and had asked chic Jus
tice Arellano to enlighten him. The
chief justice carefully explained the
various measures passed by the Philip
pine commission and progress and for
municipal and provincial self-govern-
lnent. Listening with deep interest
ASuinaldo finally exclaimed:
Il never believed the Americans
bNorld be so fair and liberal"
Before the conversation bad ended he
had 1greed to take the oath of allie
glance and this was imediateIy admin
istered. Senior Arellano says

ar. Bockhill has not acquainted the

OF the agreement reported To have been
reached at Pei1in as TO the chinese

the ministerial meeting as accurate, it
IS gathered that Secretary Hays views
ment.
The original proposition, strongly
backed by most of the European DOW
ers, was 10 completely destroy the Chi
neSe forts in the gulf OF Pc Che Ii and
on the road from Taku to -Pekin. The
state department felt that III would be
inexpedient to proceed so far and leave
China naked to the attack Of the mean
est foe Therefore the powers were
urged to content themselves with the
simple dismantlement of the forts. Ieav5
ing them in condition to be again

time.
1t is believed here that. this project
has been accepted, for it appears from
the language of the press dispatches
that the only fort ordered to be de
stroyed'' is one on point on the Pei
-iU
because it forms an obstacle TO naviga-
ton.

HOSPITAL CLOSED:
RESULT OF SCANDAL

Iron Mountain, Mich, April 3.-Mercy
hospital, better known here as the
Emergency hospital, closed its doors to-
day, by order of Bishop Els, and the
nuns have been ordered to leave the
diocese. This is the result of an &C.
clesiastical scandal which occurred last
January, when Ellen Hogan. nOvitiate
in the hospital, was arrested on an in
sanity charge, preferred by the mother
superior.
Miss Hogan was adjudged sane by
the probate court. The mother superior
also charged her with theft After be-
ing released from custody by order of
Judge Bergeron, Miss Hogan made Sc
we're charges against the mother su-
perior, one of which was drunkenness.
An investigation by Bishop Els resulted
in the order to close the institution.
