New Orleans Cotton Market.


 New Orleans June 12.-Cotton in fair demand, closing steady. Factors, encour- aged by the improvement in both spots and contracts and increased activity at Liverpool, were holding back for a fur ther advance, which buyers were unwill- ing to pay. A feature of the market to- day Is the amount of high grade cotton on the tables. There has been com parative scarcity of the better qualities of the staple for some time past, and the bulk of offerings are reserved, the better grades being in abundant supply, while buyers seeking anything below middling find some difficulty in supplying their needs. Sales 400 bales, including 1900 to arrive. Quotations 1-16 higher.
 There was a moderately brisk line of trading in the future cotton market to- day, the fluctuations were sufficiently rapid and wide to keep the floor busy and enable room traders to move to advantage Liverpool was rehectively strong. Yes terdays sharp advance on this side caused a fiutter In the English market that sent spot up 2-32d and worked an improvement of 5-64 to 6-64 on con tracts But American operators were not inclined to pay much attention to Liver pool. This market opened down to 4 points, advanced to 3 points, immedi- ately after the first call, and then for the under pressure of realizing sales fell away again, then rallied, and finally closed with June points higher; July T; August 10 September 10, and the other months to points higher than last evening"

A Rochester. N. ", Man Host at
Unique Social Affair.

Pete Gruber, known from the Allan

other day to visiting men from Den

guests of honor were Harry Davis of
Denver, and DR.. c. j. Reynolds of Oil
City.
The banquet was held at Gruber's
museum, on Mill street. The walls of
the banquet room were decorated with
the pelts OF snakes of every known
species. The centerpiece of the ban
quet board was large cake dish with
a glass cover. In the dish was large

The foot of the table was decorated
with large hooded cobra stuffed and
at the head of the table was stuffed

Around each plate were two or three
diminutive blacks, all alive AS Rat

were perfectly harmless those at the
table who were not snake handlers
soon got used to the little wrioglers.
Rattlesnake Pete presided at the
head of the table, dressed in his suiS
of rattlesnake skins, which he valued
at $4,000 and which contained more
than 1900 skins. The menu card

Antelope Race
Railroad Train

One fine morning the California fast
mail rounded rocky curve which led
up to Echo canyon, in Utah, disclosing
a verdant gorge stretching for several
miles, says E. j. futile of Denver. Not
far from the track stood bunch of
antelope. One instant they stood mo-
tionless, watching. The next they
bounded into flight as swift as flashes
Of light. Shrilly the engineer had
blown his whistle.
Their jumps were tremendous, yet
the gait Of each was steady and almost
mechanical in its regularity. Only now
and then, as a gully or slender stream
interviewed, did their leaps vary in
length The news of the race quickly
spread through the train. Every one
aboard was watching the antelope.

DOERS LOSE HOPE
At Any Rate, British Reports Are to
This Effect.
BURGHERs MOVE TO NORTHEAST
Discomfort Reported Rife Among the
Beers of the Eastern
TransVaaI.

Pretoria, Dec. 16-The recent British
successes occur opportunely, at a moment
when the Beers are showing signs of dis
content with the life on commando, but
the British, instead of congratulating
themselves, ought to put forth further
efforts on bigger scale. Since 800 Beers
were killed north of Bethel under General
Piet ViljOen, only two commanders of a
hundred men each remain in the neigh
borhood. The rest, including Viljoen,
have gone TO the northeast, toward the
Delagoa railway line.
There seems no reason to doubt that
Acting President Schalk- Burger and the
''oBer government officials" have crossed
the line north. After addressing a large
meeting near Carolina, at which he told
the burghers that they must be steadfast,
as foreign Intervention was certain be-
fore long, Schalk- Burger seems 10 have
decided that the country north of the
Delagoa railway line was more attractive
than the high veldt, where the British
columns are hustling the Beers inces-
sanity He probably is now in the neigh
borhood of Pilgrims Rest, where some
400 Beers have settled for the summer.
Piet Vilioen is the leading spirit among
the Beers in the eastern Transvaal. After
General Botha had been busy encourag
ing the burghers with tales Of the with
drawal Of British troops and of Boer sue
cesses in Cape Colony, his (Viljoen's) de-
feat by General Bruce Hamilton should
materially increase the discomfort which
is very rife among the Beers in these dis

EARTH's CURVATURE
Prof. Pupin Names Valuable Point in
,.. .
MarcOni's Feat.

New York, Dec. 16.-M. l. Pupin, pro-
feSsor OF electrical mechanics at Colum-
bia University, in an interview says he
fully believes that Marconi succeeded in
signalling between the coasts of New
Foundland and Cornwall England, by
his system of wireless telegraphy. The
professor said:
One point which is OF great value and in
terest to the scientific world is that Marconi
has proved oonclusively that the curvature OF
the earth is no obstacle to the system OF
wireless telegraphy. 1t still remains to be
proved, however, that heavy banks of fog,
low hanging clouds and heavy showers along
and in the path of the transmitted wave will
not entirely obstruct its progress The pre-
sumption generally is that they will, as ex-
periments thus far have proved. Atmospheric
conditions have also much to do with, and
strongly affect the electric wave

IT'S UP TO Robin
Temperance Men Clamor for Pro-
hibition in Manitoba.
OTHER SIDE ALSO DETERMINED
A PIebiscIte of the Province on the
Troublesome Issue May Be
Ordered. ia
Special TO The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Winnipeg, Man, Dec. 16.-The prohi-
bition question is still in a slumbering
state. A rumor gained currency to the
effect that Colin H. Campbell, attorney
general had submitted his resignation
| to the premier but this has been, in a
manner, denied. Campbell is the temper
ance man in the cabinet, and if prohibi-
tion does not come, as the temperance
people expect, resignation would seem to
be the only course open to this minister.
Premier Robin spoke at banquet given
in honor of Nat Boyd, NJ. P, at Holland,
Man, and while he went into a detailed
criticism of the resolution passed at the
liberal convention, held here last Wednes-
day and Thursday, he did not refer to the
prohibition question, which is uppermost
in the minds of the people. Robins posi-
tion is looked upon as an unenviable one
by both his political friends and enemies.
If he introduces prohibition he will set
the liquor interests against him, and the
experience OF eXPremier Hugh ]. Mac
donald will cause him to think twice be-
fore he takes such a step. -
1t will be remembered that Macdonald,
who was one of the most popular, if not
the most popular politician Manitoba ever
produced, was simply showed under"
after the passing of his liquor act, when
he endeavored to win the Brandon seat
for the dominion house. The liquor in
terests are solid and the temperance
ranks are not. The latter are even now
split on the question of prohibition
1t is understood that Robin has been
advised by professed prohibitionists to
take a plebiscite of the province, making
the distinct declaration that if the people
want prohibition they must vote for it,
and that a majority of the electors, not of
the voters who poll their votes, must de-
clare for the act before it can be brought
into force. This would appear to be Rob
Inns way out of a difficult situation
