Cotton

New York. October 9.-The market
for cotton futures opened firm at an
advance of 5 to 6 points on active COW
ering and scattering support from
abroad, the south, Wall street and
room bulls. The opening figures were
nearly top for the day, as after adj
vancing 2 to 8 points further on con-
tinued general buying, the market SIM
mered down and became ~listless, prices
sinking gradually, despite the bullisb
Influences On every hand. The public
seemed thoroughly Indifferent to the
action of the market either way. Ini-
tial advices from Liverpool told Of a
firm market abroad, with spot demand
still very large at full prices. Private
cables reported Manchester as strong
on broadening demand for goods and
scarcity Of spot supplies. AS for port
receipts, the movement was barely over
half of that for the same day a year
ago. A sharp drop in temperature in
the northWest-betWeen 16 and % de-
grees-gave rise to fears of a cold snap
reaching down into the cotton belt in
the nea future. BY midday the early
advance had been supplanted by a net
decline Of 2 to 3 points. Business drag
ged all the afternoon and in the last
hour the room sold out it's long cotton
and went short freely, closing h mar
ket barely steady. with prices net 8 to
s points lower. ClearanceS for export
were again large, but England did not
take it's share, even though Liverpool
stocks were the lowest Of recent years,
excepting last year when prices were
21a cent above the present basis.

swered tina it was all right "or words
to hat effect"

CockreIl Halves said he had been on
very friendly terms with Judge Boyd
and would have spared him if possible.
He added that he was much disaD-
pointed in the evidence given by sever
al witnesses before the committee.
Senator CockreIl asked him how he
could be disappointed when he was in
formed by all of them thai they had
no connection with the hemp capital.

would testify differently.
Don't you think they nave sworn to

p TRAIN HELD UP
The Robbers Get Nothing Valuables
Held for Day Train.

New Orleans, October 9.-News of the
hold-up of a train. northbound from
Shreveport on the Kansas City South
ern railroad, near Ashdown, Arkansas,
last night, was received in a telegram
to the Wells Fargo Express Company
