WILD SCRAMBLE 20. FOR O|L PROPERTY Everybody in Beaumont, Texas,
 Has Gone Into the Real
 Estate Business

Beaumont Tex, January 15.-Hhe excite ment here over the mammoth oil we'll in- creases with each approaching hour. There has been no indication that the flow of oi: from the geyser is diminishing, nor is there Captain Lucas, upon whose land the well is located is busily making preparations for an attempt to stop the immense flow and it will be made tomorrow. All of the machine shops have been at work on ma chinery for the effort and the result is awaited with lively interest.
 The activity in real estate transactions has subsided somewhat. The town eontin- ues to fill up and the streets suggest great holiday event
 Physicians are becoming real estate men. The lumber industry is forgotten in the wild rush for oil lands. The business of the District Court, in the middle of the session, has been continued and the court is idle. Throngs of people frequent the streets until late at night and everything is oil The Standard Oil Company has scores of representatives here. City prop erty without oil prospects has increased five-fold in value. A lot near the business center which could have been bought last week for $5000 now is unpurchaseable at $20, 900.
 George T. Craig of the Craig Oil Company, Toledo O., arrived here last night from Pittsburg, Pa. He estimates the wells out put at from 3e00 to 5000 barrels per day. He says the excitement exceeds anything he ever saw The California oil field has sev- eral representatives and other oil centers are represented. The City Council this aft ernoon met in special session and granted a franchise over the streets for a gas and oil pipe line company for the purpose of transferring oil and gas.

Financial

New York, January 15.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 The markets here were moderately active and generally cheerful today. The market is expecting American gold shipments and also views the Cape situation more favora- bly. Americans opened heavy and idle, but soon rallied on the purchase of large blocks of Fries on rumor attributed to the Morgans Later New York seemed dis posed to sell all around, causing weak close at about the lowest, though the de- mand for Fries continued, and the belief was expressed that Erie first would soon pay a full dividend, thereby placing the collateral trust bonds for the payment of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.
 Discount was steady. The bank lost f60,- 900 gold to India.

Sousa.

Sousa surprised his European audiences with the artistic side of his concerts. Noth- ing had ever been heard the continent in the way of military band playing that approached the Sousa ensemble for It's purity of tone, it's smootnness of execution. its precision of attack and the general all- round virtuosity of the performers. Sousa as conductor was revelation of grace to those accustomed to the mathematical gestures of the average bandmaster. and the Sousa marches swept everything be- fore them as they have done at home The March King" brings his great band here for two concerts at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, January 15-Cotton advfces from Liverpool of 1-32 D decline on spots was regarded as favorable in face of our weak close last night Our market opened slightly above yesterdays alone prices but ruled weaker during forenoon on further liquidation of holders of the south Short covering and some new buying at decline caused small reactions in price, but the tone was nervous owing to uncertain feel ing as to the outcome of the bull interest in January and premmum for near months in face of increasing stocks. Liverpool closed -2d3 below yesterday. Receipts rath- CT free today and further decline is expect ed to bring out southern holdings.

"A Hot Old Time"

Fun, fast and furious, is the keynote Of the success of Johnny and Emma Ray and "A Hot Old Time" in which they will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre on Thursday night. Laughter begins with the rising of the curtain and grows in volume and speed until just before its fall. Nothing just like it has been seen before, every member of the large company is bury every minute The Rays, as they appear in their "A Hot Old Time" may well be said to present a carnival of mirth. New specialties, new music, new costumes, new situations and new everything except the title fea- lures of the present season, which has thus far proved even more successful than it's predecessor. Johnny Ray is said to have even better opportunities for fun making this season than ever before.

tant decline.
 With the disastrous experience of short sellers in the past twelve months shorts are timd in making extensive sales and run quickly to cover on appearance of circum- stances favoring an advance.
 Most of the Southern ports were quoted lower today for spots and we are informed holders in the interior are less firm in their demand for an advance If the interior on the decline continues the disposition to part freely with spot cotton which now seems to be likely the case, further decline may be anticipated before any materal advance is possible.

 New Orleans, January 15.-All factors conspired to continue the downward course of the market from start to finish and the tone was generally easy. Liverpool de- clined 1-32d on sports and 2-64d to 3-64d on deliveries. Spots in this market were mark ed down hc.
 Port receipts were quite free being 37S1 against 23,051 last year and for the semi weekly movement to be posted tomorrow 1t is estimated about 5700O bales against 10000 last year. With such poor encourage ment liquidation of long cotton was fea- ture throughout the entire day. The prin- cipal buying was to cover short sales made in the recent past, this fact doubtless both here and in New York checked any impor-

 Nine Cent Rumors.
PRICES STEADILY DECLINED

New York, January 15.-It was a most unsatisfactory day on the Cotton Exchange for the bulls, while the bears could hardly be said to have been thoroughly successful, owing to the fact that they repeatedly cov- cred on the decline thus losing consldera- able of the profits which otherwise would have gone to their credit The opening was steady with prices one to four points higher on moderate general buying, based on firm Loverpool cables. The stability in both markets was of short duration, how ever, as receipts were seen to have piled up far in excess of predictions, which sell ing abroad changed the situation there. Liquidation rapidly grew in volume and soen encouraged active bear hammeriug, under which prices crumbled at a lively rate. Very little attempt was made by holders to check the decline and shorts during the first hour were stimulated by talk of 9-cent cotton for March before Fri day. Later rallies on flurries of covering served to retard the decline somewhat. But early in the afternoon weakness again became prominent, the estimates for to- morrow's receipts having over-topped gen eral ideas while Southern spot markets were 1-16@1sc lower in number of in stances. The singular weakness in the January option led to rumors of the con templated 'squeeze' had been adjourned and that holders were attempting to get before delivery day. At the close the mar ket was steady with prices two to eighteen points lower
