ENGLISH MARKET IMPROVES

New York, November 9.-The cotton market opened steady with prices to 3 points higher on covering and light in vestment buying, inspired by better ruling of the English market than ex= pected. Receipts at the ports and in- terior towns were about as expected and advices from Southern spot markets re- iected a disposition among holders to await further developments in specula- tive markets before selling extensively. The weather map told of frosts, light to heavy in parts of the Eastern belt, but generally fair, mild condition west of the Mississippi The forecast. however. pointed to frost temperatures In the northern portion of the western belt to- night and over Sunday. After the call the market eased off to 745 for January and to TBS for May under scattering sales for profits by pit longs. Trading was not active and after the first half hour was chiefly of professional type.
 The market for futures closed steady with prices net to 6 points higher.

New Orleans cotton Marke..


 New Orleans, November 9.-The market for spot cotton was notably firmer dur ing the short hours today, and there was quite good bit of trading upon tho basis of an advance of 1-16 cent In prices. The offerings were good, and the assortment excellent, but factors showed no disposi- ticn to force the trading at current values while on the other hand buyers. though willing to make material concessions, were not prcpar ed as a ruls to meet full asking prices. The sales, therefore, were limited to 2300 bales of spots and 2450 bales to arrive.
 Quotations advanced 1-16c on good mid dlirg and lower grades ard Mc on mid ding fair.
 The short session in tho market for contracts was marked today by fairly free trading represe ntntivc in part of a better feeling among the deciples of the higher price theory, a desire on the part of the bears to cover iff profits as a guard agairst Sunday contingencies. Led to slight though not very steady ad- vance ir prices during the short day, the market here opened points below yesterdays range, fluctuating half a dozen points during the short session and cltsing points net to the good.

CANNON GOES FREE TODAY
First Step Toward Liberating Him
Taken by the Court Yesterday.
Deed Has Been Signed.

The first step towards liberating
james Cannon with the aid of the act
drafted by the local judges and passed
by the present legislature. was taken
yesterday. when court had Sheriff
Schadt sign Gannon's name to the
deed which he refused to sign and for
which refusal he has been in Jail for
nearly seven years.
Cannon was brought down from the
Jail by Deputy Sheriff John l.. Gaff-
neX and given an opportunity of sign
ing. He refused and was remanded to
Jail. Then. r. +. Wells, attorney for
Mrs. Mary Riel. the other party to
moved to have the court direct the
sheriff to sign for Gafiney. as is per-
mittcd by the new act. The motion
was allowed and Mrs. Riel has just as
complete title as if Cannon had
signed the instrument himself.
The deed will be acknowledged in
open court this morning and, that be-
ing done, an order will be made by
one Of the judges directing that Can
non be discharged from custody.
y rule was later in the day granted
to compel Cannon to show cause why
the money paid into court for him by
Mrs. Riel should not be applied "
paying the costs in the equity case.
1t was made rcturnable at argument
court.
Cannon had paid $50 of the puchasc
money on the property that was in dis
pute. When he was defeated, court
directed Mrs. Riel to pay to him this
s35. He refused to accept it and she
paid it into the prothonotary's office.

WILL NOT BE Renewed.
Fred S. Godfrey Will Leave the
Hotel Jermyn on April /, 1908.
MI Jermyn Will Run Hotel

The scven-year lease of Fred :. God
frey for the Hotel Jermyn expires
April !, 1908, and on that date the man
agemcnt of the place will change
hands. as John Jermyn. the owner OF
the building, is said to intend to as
sumo personal charge of it. He noti-
fed Mr. Godfrey of this last Thursday,
and the information came very much
in the nature of a surprise to the lat
ter, as he declares there was tacit
understanding existing that another
long lease would be entered into at the
expiration of the present one,
The withdrawal of the lease from Mr..
Godfrey in no manner reflects upon the
latter, as Mr.. Jermyn frankly told him
that the only motive causing his ac-
ton WAS desire To increase his own
revenues from the hotel. The lease
entered into five years ago provides
for the annual payment of 81, 800. but
Mr.. Jermyn is quoted as having re-
Gently declared that he ought To get
$4,000 for ii,
MI. Jcrmyn notified me Thursday tn
vacate at the expiration of my lease"
said MI Godfrey To Il Tribune man last
night. He candidly stated to me tha t
If there's any money in the hotel he
wants 1t himself.
Mr.. Jermyn refuses to buy the hotel
furnishings. and therefore there is a
likelihood of big auction sale in April,
1908. Mr.. Godfrey will continue the
management of the Hotel Sterling at
Wilkes Barre, and is also considering
number of offers from hotels i'm other
cities. During his management of the
Jermyn lie has not only built up Il
splendid business, but has superin-
tended the hotel in a manner Which
has spread it's fame throughout the
states.
