New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, November 22-A very good demand for spot cotton was noted today and there were some fairly large lists handled But buyers were retarded in their work to some extent by reason of the fact that offerings have diminished considerably as the result of a relatively heavy trading during the past few days, and 1t is now rather more difficult to make desirable selections. Sales s940 bales including 400 to arrive. Quotations 1-16c, higher.
 Trading in contracts continued in active demand during the day and again 1t was apparent that the advantage about tenn porarily rested with the long side of the market. Liverpool showed some strength and moved up 3-32d on spots and AGA to 5-64d on deliveries under the influence, 1t Is conceded of yesterdays improvement in values on this side. This market at the opening was to points up.
 Thereafter fluctuations covered range of to points, the board at the close showing net gains on the day of l to 2 points compared with yesterdays figures.

With both motormen killed II was

The cars weigh fifteen tons each and

cars were torn almost to splinters.
Both cars were filled with Sunday

posed the accumulated and decompos-
ing refuse of great city, has been
transformed into such n paragon OF
purity that sOapsuds actually dehle It.
Time was when copious and frequent
loses of soaps,ids In the Chicago river
were encouraged on the theory that 1t
centralized Its foulness and tended to

suds that could be poured into 1t could
not cleanse 1t, NO hopeless was Its con-

was the butt of merry ridicule and

The arrest OF the snip steward on
Tuesday was intended as timely
warning by the sanitary board to all
who have been In the habit Of acting
carelessly In the vicinity of the Chi
cago river. Stevedores who manicure

deEisiOn was the result Of : petition
for an Injunction fled by ]. J. Cronin,
who conducts the saloon and wine
room at Eighteenth and Champs

The opening Of the saloons sitter mid

an application for an Injunction made
by I. +. Stauer Of the Chesapeake Oys-
ter 4 Fish Company against the fire
and police board of the city restrain
ing the board from interfering with
him in the selling of liquors with
meals.
Judge Palmer issued the Injunction
without hesitation. The application Of
the plaintiff recites that the board and
chief Of police are acting In violation
of the statute In interfering with the
sale Of liquors Mt meals.
The arguments used In the case Of
Cronin's application were that women
have the same rights as men In this
state and these rights extend to the
purchase Of liquors at the public bars.
