Manchester cables say the India for
most descriptions was plentiful al
though often unavoidable. There were
occasional transactions, the lack conf
dence operating as a drag There was
some China inquiry and few unim-
portant sales. The cloth market on
the whole was very firm during tho
week, but the volume of business was
unimportant. Sentiment is very bull
ish and there is am entire absence of
speculative short selling, therefore,
with this feeling predominating, the
probability is, values will be sustain
ed unless receipts continue to increase.

The demand for cotton on the spot
was fully as good If not better than
that for country cotton to-day owing
TO the parity of prices in the two mar
kets. The country was rather stiff,
with an Indifference about offering,
while on the spot prices remained I'M
changed from Saturday, with factors
free sellers at quotations. All else be-
ing equal the preference is for spot cot
ton, which attracts buyers for num-
erous reasons, among them the absence
OF risk in grade and delivery.
The feeling in the country continues
bullish, with many disposed to go long
of cotton. The dispatches from New
York gave as one of the reasons for
the advance in future the buying from
the South. There was also good buy
ing from the West, and also by Wall
street houses.
Spirits of turpentine closed firm at
36%c, with the demand equal to the
offerings. Resins closed firm and I'M
changed from Saturdays prices The

sEA IsLANn CoTToN.

In the sea island cotton market the
past week the demand was less active
than the week before, though a fair
business was done. The sales reported
below were not all by Savannah fac
tors, however, some of the amount re-
ported being receipts from the inte-
rior, and also cotton which was held
here and applied by exporters to or
ders received by them. The develop
ments Of the past two weeks caused
many holders to dispose Of their cot
ton here or In the interior. and IL r.
said that after the holidays there will
probably not remain with planters
much cotton Offering as anything like
pretaat prices. Close observers express
The opinion that after the holidays a
further demand from spinners may be
looked for.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
New Orleans, Dec. 23.-Cotton futures


New York, Dec. 23.-There was not
much business in the early market.
which opened to points lower Con-
Slder1ng that cables were not up to the
mark when we opened, and that re-
ceipts were heavy, the preliminary
dealings here We're quite satisfactory.
Firms with close Liverpool and New
Orleans connections were selling on
pretty liberal scale, but their offers
were promptly absorbed. Little was at
hand from the South, and what there
was, was bullish as to the crop pros
poets, and the feeling everywhere was
expressed that the big rise is only a
matter of time. During the morning
the market gained strength in spite of
indications of $1,000 receipts for the
day, as against $4,000 last year. Sellers
withdrew for the time being. Cables
were a point higher at the close and
more bullish crop news was coming in
from the South. The movement at the
ports is certainly rather large, and of
course the bears are making the most
of it. Receipts so far for the season
are 4,376,000, against 4,235, 900 last year.
IT is known and always expected that
the movement will increase toward
Christmas, and general preparations
are made for it; however, it appears
that nothing is discounted in advance
and the full figures are having little eff
feet senttmentally or otherwise. OF
course we hear there will be a falling
off after the holidays, but will this be
the case, is now the question. While
bullish sentiment is making Roadway
every day, and it will require good
many days of heavy receipts to dispel
the feeling that the crop is going to be
small and prices considerably higher
New Orleans expects Tomorrow 10000
to $4,000 against 1743S; Houston 10000
to 21,000 against 1886.

the work was being done. OF
course the reporters knew that
Mr.. Elliott would not know any

was not great enough to enable
them to approach the proper
one, whose word is the only law

pLArr AMENDMENT ADOPTED

The Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention has finally adopted by
the decisive vote of 16 to Ii, the
"Platt amendment" This en-
sures the Cubans complete inde-
pendence and guarantees them
against internal revolutions and
external oppression, and saves
them the expense Of maintaining
an army and navy of a size
sufficient to mark their impor-
tance. The guarantee of this
country that order and cleanli-
ness will be preserved will be
accepted as enough by would be
conspirators and possible foreign
exploiters. All that remains to
be done now for Scuba libre"
is to elect the officers provided
for in the new Constitution and
this is a detail that will be of
easy solution. The difficult prob
lem has been settled.

MIDDIETowN, DEL, JUNE Is, 1901.
rHrRn TERN IDEA EXPLODED

In 1880, when the 1926 stalwarts
under the leadership of Roscoe
Conkling were driven to their
tents in sullen defeat, it seemed
that the question of any man
being nominated for third term
in the President chair had been
settled. If Grant with all his
powerful friends and with the
glamor of the war not yet de-
parted could not carry the noml-
nation, it seemed useless for any
one else to make the attempt, at
least in a Republican National
Convention. It is true that Gro
yer Cleveland was nominated for
a third time butit came aftera de-
feat thus making itonly for a Sec
ond term. When the recent dis
cussionofa desire in certain quar-
ters toinduce PresidentMcKinley
toagain become acandidate, twas
almost a certainty that it would
be received with disfavor. Had
the President himself entertained
the thought, the almost unanl-
nous expression of the Republi-
can press of the country would
have driven it out of his head.
But he did not hesitate long
about settling the matter. Near
ly as soon as it was possible, he
comes out in interview utterly
and positively disclaiming any
such intention. So prompt was
he in this action that he placed
some of the "Anti-" papers in
the ludicious position of having
an editorial showing in strong
language that the empire" was
nearly here, while their news
items in the same issue printed
the Presidents denial. But a
little matter of that kind does
not much bother the ordinary
"Anti-''. He is bound to be
unhappy and if it is not the
"third term" il will be something
else.
