New York, April 16-The home demand
for cotton goods has been without change
but fair sales made of heavy brown cot
tons for export. Some OF these snow

COTTON
New York, April 16.-Operations and
fluctuatins in cotton today were consid-
erably more extensive than in some
time. The bull forces had things much
their own way at the beginning, but be-
fore the close lost much of their grip
upon the market. firm opening with
prices 5 to 10 points higher resulted from
an unexpected show of strength abroad.
This sudden burst OF bull confidence
courage and led to active buying for out
side investment account. Wall street,
the West and New Orleans bought freely
on the upturn and for a time everything
pointed to a much higher Market but
pIOHI taking caused a f6dcJIOn mere DE
fore the selling movement abated May
had dropped to S05, the bid price of last
night. and 10 points from the ton of the
first few minutes. The private cables at
tributed Liyerpool's great firmness to a
scare of shorts and runor that the crop
movement was waning rapidly. The in
correctness of the latter was clearly
demonstrated in the early afternoon by
official estimates for very large receipts
tomorrow at New Orleans and Houston
The weekly government crop summary
produced no great effect upon the late
market and was variously construed. To-
wards the close the market was very ir-
regular and peculiarly sensitive to orders
as received. Fear of manipulation was
ever present and did much to restrict
public speculation. The July positions
was relatively the frmest option on the
list, while Nav. except at the opening,
was the first to give way to liquidation
and room profit taking, closing quiet, un-
changed to points lower.

CHARGED WITH USING BAD STAMPS Dr. B. F. McGee of HiIIman Ar- rested by Federal Officers HE DENIES THE CHARGE Claims Stamps Were Stuck Together and Were Probably soiled When
 They Were Taken
 Apart.
HE DENIES THE CHARGE

B. r. McGee, a physician of Hil1man, Ala, was held to the March term of the grand jury of the Federal court yestsr- day morning by United States Commis- using canceed postage stamps. Dr. McGee was arrested Wednesday on in formation of Postoffice Inspector Perry Glasscock, and when arraigned yesterday pleaded not guilty and made bond inn mediately.
 It is alleged that pr. MeGee mailed three letters on August b addressed to Harvey 6 Co. Atlanta; Dr. B. A. Symms, Atlanta; and the Review of Reviews, New York the letters having been placed in a drop letter box at Turpin, a postoffice a few miles below Hillman.
 Dr. McGee, in an affidavit, said he re membered having written the three let ters but that the stamps were not can celed. He said that he gave them to his daughter to post and also gave her 25 cents with which to purchase the stamps, and that she bought the stamps at T1illman postoffice, and he supposed the letters had been mailed there.
 Later he addressed a letter to the post office inspector and stated that after refreshing his memory he was not cer- tain the three letters referred to were the ones he had in mind. He was not certain whether the one addressed to the Review of Reviews was the one he gave to his daughter to mail. The physician stated that he had never used the post office at Turpin. The doctor said the mysterious part of the matter is, how the mail reached Turpin, as there is a postoffice at Hillman, and he always used that one.
 A ruse was worked to secure the name of the writer. All of the letters were held up and sent to the postoffice inspectors at Atlanta. Instructions were then issued to forward the letters to their destina- tion and collect four cents due postage from each of the addresses and to secure the name of the writer, which was done.
 Ordinary two cents stamps were used on the letters. They appeared soiled and the law says that soiled, or torn stamps cannot be used. The government says the stamps have been cancelled, but the defendant claims that he had several stamps which became stuck together, and were soaked and afterwards put on the envelopes with the aid of a blotter, and he claims these were the ones so used.
 The defense claims that by using them in this manner, the stamps could be soiled so as to present the appearance of having been cancelled.

 'I cannot give the names of the gentle men who will erect the plant, but I can say that it will be built and actual work will begin during the next few weeks.
 "fhe company will manufacture hollow ware of all descriptions, and will give regular employment to fifty or more skilled workmen. l may be able to give the names of the promoter of the enter prise within few days time. They are at present in New York completing their arrangements to come here"

DISCUSSING EXTENSIONS.
Railway Officials Plan to Reach Every
 Suburb.

President Jemison and General Mana ger McClary of the Birmingham Rail way. Light and Power Company were in conference for hours yesterday with the engineers consulting as to the several routes of the proposed extensions of the electric railway system. Maps and fig ures were presented, but no definite routes fixed.
 Certain 1t Is that many miles of exten- sion are to be constructed, but the ex- act routes have not as yet been deter mined upon
 We are working on the matter right now" said one of the officials last even ing, "but there is nothing to give out of public importance as yet
 Every suburban settlement within ten miles of Birmingham is hopefully ex- peeting to be touched by the electric system, and this fact causes a little nervousness on the part of real estate owners along the prospective lines who hope for a rise in values under the in splration of this developing agency.
