HOPE FOR CoTTER
Venerable Bishop May Survive-Op-
GRAFTON Performed at Rochester.

Special to The Journal.
Winona, Mimi, June 10.-Advices from
Rochester indicate there is still some
hope for the recovery of Bishop Cotter,
though the chances seem to be against
him. Father Commissky, the bishops
secretary, wires:
'"The bishop is resting easier and the
doctors are beginning to entertain hope
Of his recovery. Grave danger lies in
the fact that out of twenty three
operations of this kind, twenty two have
been fatal.
DR.. May said the bishop had passed a
restless night and nothing could be said
as to his recovery, inside of twenty-four
hours. When the operation was under
taken, cancer was feared, but the trouble
was found to be large gladstone, which
was removed. Bishop Stanley and sew
eral clergy Of the Winona diocese are at
Rochester
Archbishop Ireland and Bishop McGol-
rick have been summoned to the bedside

ON THE UP GRADE
Mrs. McKinIey's Improvement Sure.
Though Slow.

Washington, June 1O.-After the usual
consultation of Mrs. McKinley's physi-
clans this morning, the following state
ment was issued: Mrs. McKinley's ply
sicians report that her condition is favor
able anr that she continues to show a
gradual improvement"
The continued improvement in Mrs
McKinley's condition reported by her
physicians is noticeable at the White
House in perceptible relief from the in
tense anxiety that has existed there for
the last ten days. Although she is by no
means out of danger and there is constant
fear of relapse, for the present she
seems on the up grade and the president
is more cheerful. He saw a few callers
to-day, and to his visitors expressed his
encouragement. While Mrs. McKinley's
condition fiuctuated he said she appeared
better this morning than she had for some
days

New York, Dec. 21.-AnaIgamated Cop
per showed the same stable tendency
between &c and CT which it developed
yesterday and the relief afforded the gen
efal market by this turn of affairs con-
tinued in evidence. The bank statement
gave evidence of satisfactory conditions
in the money market and also prompted
some buying of stocks, but the sympa-
thetic strength in the general market
was taken advantage of for an active
liquidation in Sugar, which forced that
stock 81 under last night and unsettled
the market and made the closing easy.
Net results are not generally important
and changes run both ways. The recent
cut in the price of sugar leaves narrow
margin for profit on its production and
fears are entertained of a renewal of the
sugar and coffee war. The bank state
ment showed much larger decline of cash
reserves than anticipated, the loss run
ming to $4,435 200, but the decline in de-
posits by reason of loan contraction of
$13, 36S, 500, was sufficient to reduce the
reserve requirements by an amount
greater than the decrease in cash, leav-
ing gain for the surplus of S330,300. The

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 21-The cotton market
opened quiet and firm with prices two to
five points higher on a continuation of
the bear scare which started in the last
-Four yesterday. The alarm of the shorts
was Increased by a rise of 21a to points
in futures and Lied in spot cotton in
Liverpool, and by official reports of freez-
ing weather over practically the entire
belt this making the eighth day of the
cold waves reign in the cotton country
The first squirt of buying carried March
to S25 and May to S.29, after which there
was some slight reaction under profit
taking by scalping longs. Still later
prices sprang back to the high point of the
first hour and, in fact, for the season
thus far on renewed demand from shorts
Trading was more active than the aver.
age OF late, with the commission house
contingent liberal buyers at the higher
prices. Wall Street, the South AMI
Europe bid for late months, which were
relatively frmer than near positions. 4
frme~ ruling of Southern spot markets
and glowing accounts from cotton goods
ceDters helped to check any serious re-
action in the last hour. Port receipts
were slightly larger than on the same day
last year but not enough so to materiai-
~ influence sentiment.
