Cotton

New York, October 16.-The cotton
market ope-e I'd steady, with futures 4
points to 1 point higher, under room
liquidation. light foreign selling and
scarcity of public buying orders. all due
to disappointing Liverpool cables and
heavier port receipts than expected.
Temperatures in the western half of the
belt were once more falling rapidly.
Rumors of higher southern spot mar
kets on heavy export and increased do
nestle demand, with claims that the
late cold weather did serious harm to
late cotton, helped to stiffen the mar
ket toward the close of the first hour,
a business wave of buying carried Oc-
tober to ST., January TO $40 and May
to 500. Liverpool hardened decidedly
on the frost news and sen buying or
derS to our pit. Estimates for large
New Orleans and Houston receipts,
with active selling by Philadelphia ex-
port interests against holdings of spot
cotton south, undermined bull conf
dence and set prices steadily downward.
The hedges put out reached 80, 900 bales
or more, mostly March and May op-
tons, though some of the selling was
in January. Late in the day Wall
street and the south sold out early pur-
chases- At the close the market was
steady. with prices 3 points lower to
! point higher, or about unchanged
from the opening.

Clue to an Express Train Robbery

Nashville. Tenn, October 16.-The
woman Annie Rogers, alias Maude Will
liams, under arrest here charged with
and who is believed to have some
knowledge of the Great Northern eX-
press robbery last July, was arraigned
in a magistrates court today. Her pre-
liminary trial was set for tomorrow
morning.
The prisoner declines to answer any
questions concerning herself and if she
has told the officers anything they have
not given it out. An especial effort was
made during the day to locate the lodg-
ing place of the woman. but withou
success. The officers received informa-
ton during the day that the woraan
had been at Shreveport, La. and had
evidently come on to Nashville by way
of Memphis. This led them to believe
that possibly some of the men interest
ed III the robbery might be in or near
the latter city.

NAVY ESTIMATES FOR NEXT YEAR
Nearly Ono Hundred Million Dollars
More New warships.

Washington, October 16.-The esti-
mates for tie a v for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1903 were made public
at the navy department today. The to-
tai amount is sss. go. 9s4. against ST.
924, 535 appropriated for the current
year.
Secretary Long in speaking of the
estimates said hat they were made
with a due regard for the needs of the
navy, and intimated hat they had the
approval of the administration. He
spoke of the increased cost of the navy
and said hat the building of a battle
ship costing $4,000, 900 was not the end
of it's expense, as it's maintenance was
very costly. Those estimates, he said,
did not cover any recommendations
for increase of the navy over that al
ready authorized, but it is more than
likely the secretary will recommend
three new battleships and two armored
cruisers and a number of small gun
boats.
The new estimated items for the Nor
folk yard aggregate S1,208, 500, which
includes $780, 900 for the purchase OF
land. An estimate of $3.50, 900 is made
for a plant for housing and storing tor
pedo vessels at Pensacola.
