Morgan Forming a Trust of Coal Com

Cincinnati, December 5.-With a view to a combination of all the independent coal mining companies in the state of Virginia. exclusive of those in the Poca. hontas field now controlled by the Nor folk and Western road, mining and coal engineers, under direction of Cincinnati and New York capitalists, are now at work making a thorough examination of the physical conditions of all mines.
 Upon the report of MT. Williams the result will depend. It is shown that J, P. Morgan, the New York financier, is the prime mover in the proposed combina tion.

Heavy Buying In New York.

New York. December 5.-Undcr tho inn petus of fresh whirl of outside buying orders that made both the wheat and corn rings a scene of great excitement today no record prices were established. Wheat sold at S5ssc for May, or 5sc higher than it was last August, while corn passed every high point since 1892. For g. time the buying orders seemed unlimited and the markets continued fin bull up- roar until midday, when lull in demand gave holders desire to take profits, ,caus- ing general reactions. In wheat the sell ing eventually destroyed the days ad- vance. but corn withstood all pressure and left off 1q1Ac above the previous night. The markets are still dominated by outside operations.

ment report is correct. The crop is surely less than 10,300,0OO, and may be under 100000. Tn this case we will see the reverse of last years price movements.
 Ten cents in the fall and 71s in the spring reversed. But for a time there will be a very irregular market until the profit taking has ceased and the market has a chance to digest the cotton from the South, but on any recession we be- lieve there will be money made in buying cotton. ..
 Anything below cents Is not likely to be high in the latter part of the year.

New York, December 1.-The cotton market opened steady with prices points lower to points higher, after which the market became firm and the trading basis stiffened to 2Q3 points over last nights bids on active general buying, led by shorts and Wall street bulls. Weak English cables and bearish private Liverpool advices made little impression on the market for time. Room senti- ment was bullishly inclined on the firm ness of Southern spot markets, bullish estimates of receipts during the balance of the month and good trade reports. About the only cotton for sale was of fered by commission houses whose con stituents sold for profits Trading was very active with Wall street a seller on sharp advances and a buyer on weak spots. The undertone at noon was firm. There were several large buying orders for January, May and March at 8 cents and these not only held the market steady but served to discourage bull sell ing. In the last hour, however, this de- mand was gradually appeased with the result that when a furry of profit taking

Leading room bulls took advan- tage of the decline to pick up cotton sold yesterday and some bears used the break as an opportunity to protect them selves. Short selling was not engaged in extensively on the weakness. The hqui- dating movement continued to the close with the market to 10 points lower and barely steady ir tone.

New Orleans, December 1.-The spot cotton market was very quiet today. Buyers demanded concessions which fac tors as rule declined to make, there by restricting sales to 2300 bales of spots and 1850 to arrive. Operations 1-16c lower on all grades. Future contracts opened 8 points higher than yesterday for Decem- Der, while the other months were un- changed tos3 points higher. This condi- tion was changed in the first hour of trading when prices were sent to an ad- vance of 8 points for March and points for May, the particularly active months. At this level some realizing and profit taking was attracted, and values quieted down and at the close of the day the board showed net losses of 8 points on all positions compared with yesterdays clos ing.

THE BOERS WILL CONTINUE
 STRUGGLE TO THE LAST DITCH

As an alternative for Sir Alfred Milner, as a negotiator with the Boers, MT. Bras mus suggests that England should send some impartial rEnglishman. free from all party feeling. Lord Kitchener's name will not go, either. He has been too much associated with MT Cecil Rhodes. You remember how their names were connect ed together when Lord Kitchener was in London; how they were coupled and how they took doctors degrees together
 "The end," said Erasmus. will be that the Boers remaining must be either caught and exterminated or given independence. There was time, after Pretoria was taken, when many Boers deserted or sur rendered in the belief that they would find their houses and families as they left them if they were allowed to go free, promising not to fight again. The end of the war was then more than possible. My people were ready to give in,
 But when the Boers returned to their homestead and found their farms burned and their families gone, they knew not where, they were ruined men, From that day out, it should be well understood, the war became one of revenge and no longer one of patriotism. Picture to your self the situation. It Is perfectly sim pie to understand the bitterness of the Boers.
 ''The only terms satisfactory would be restocking the farms and making good that which had been destroyed. Other wise why should the men not continue

ODELL WILL VETO
 PLATES PET BILL
Will Not Sign Police Measure. Rupture Between Gov-
 ernor and Senator

New York, March Ex-Governor Odell has positively and formally declined to sign any police bill, and repudiated the new bill drawn by Senator Platt and his friends, and said tonight that if the bill came to him he would veto it, even if it were made plain that it would be passed over his veto.
 Frank Platt, son of Senator T. c. Platt, arrived here tonight with the newly pre- pared bill It provides for the reinstate- ment of the metropolitan police bill of 1857, but includes some territory contigu- ous to New York city; it also provides that without disturbing the present con- ditions in New York city the Governor shoould appoint a commissioner whose rights to the office should be immediate ly questioned in the courts, and who in the interim should not interfere with the police arrangements in New York city.
 The Governor let MT. Platt understand that If any bill on these lines was passed he would veto it.
