advices We're not encouraging, conse-
quently our market opened two to three
points lower and declined additional later
on clearing weather throughout the belt
and the restricted demand for spots
closing at net loss of six to seven points
en- the day. From the action of foreign
markets today it looks as if European
spinners will not follow any advance. It
appears as if they have made up their
minds that the out-turn of this crop will
be more than ample for the worlds re-
quirements and do not intend to take
more than their actual needs. The fnan-
cial situation and South American diff
Guilty are not conducive to active specu-
lation and these factors combined with
the curtailment of trade with China and
all silver countries owing to the sharp
decline of that metal, is having a ten
dency to make many reduce their esti-
mate of the probable consumption of
American cotton this year. Receipts con-
tinue light and there is no immediate
prospect of their increasing before
week or ten days, because it will take
all of that time before country roads be-
come passable, providing there is no set
back by unfavorable weather during the
interim. In the meantime sentiment is
very bullish and any feature in favor Of
the article will sustain values.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Dec 16.-There was an eX-
traordinary melting away of prices in
the last half hour of today's market,
following a marking up of quotations
during all the previous portion of the
session. Shortly before 2:30 o'clock they
were at the highest of the day and net

ton of the money market. desired 10
convey a warning that they had no IN
tention to allow these plans to be IN
terfered with by injudicious speculation
at this time. There was more or less
realizing before the close by the profess
sional traders who bought in yesterday
market early this morning. Previous TO
the final slump the course of prices was
quite prcsperously upwards. There were
reports of assurances received by the
State Department regarding the inten-
lions of Great Britain and Germany in
Venezuela. which served to cause bet
ter sentiment on that subject. but the
principal influence in the rise was reas-
surfing effect of the formation of the
bankers pool providing $50 900 for use
in n nossible money market emergency.
The effect was to relieve the stock
market from the pressure of liquidation.
Offerings became so light in fact that it
was found easy to bid up prices on very
light purchases. This was notably the
case amongst some inactive stocks, OF
which the floating supply is always
light, especially in the Vanderbilt group.
There was some surprise expressed, now
ever, over the extent of the protective
measures taken by the banks. There
was much surmise as to a possible real
need for these measures, which has not
been disclosed and disposition to con-
slider that the existence of such a need
was indicated by the formation of the
pool. While it was recognized that no
part of this fund would be likely to find
its way directly into the stock market,

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Dec. 16.-The cotton market
opened steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of points, and, for time, ruled
decidedly strong and very active AT
the best point prices showed rise OF
to 13 points. The gain was chiefly on
December and January. These positions
were in demand by shorts and by GER
tain spot houses. In connection with
the Is point rise in December and jan
uary at one time apparent, it was claim
cd that certain deals had been put
through by the principal long and short
interests. After January had sold as high
as $50 this position sold off to S.54. but
while December sold as high as S.57, the
closing price was S56, with the spot mar
kets of the country generallyJirm to lie
higher and said to be supported by de-
mand from spinners and exporters indie
pendently of speculative influences, on
the ground that the movement was dis
appointing one still, leaving it to be seen
whether receipts are to increase in the
near future as predicted. The indications
of larger receipts at New Orleans be-
came the signal for selling, the more re-
mote positions, whereupon liquidation
became quite general. The weakness in
the stock market had a tendency to de-
press prices The market finally was
steady at a net rise of II to net de-
cline of points. Total sales, futures
estimated at $50, 900 bales.

Mrs. Agnes CuIey to Ask Legal
Separation From Her Husband,
Ex-Mayor r. C. CuIIey.
ALLEGES FAILURE TO PROVIDE
Mr.. Culley Has Nothing to Say in Regard
Will Not Contest Suit in Court.

Domestic infelicity has entered the
home of former Mayor Frank C. Cul1ey
and it is announced today that Mrs.
Agnes Culley, wife Of the well known
newspaper man, has employed an at
torney and will ask for an absolute
divorce at the next term of the Circuit
Court. The papers in the suit have
been made out and the summons will
probably be served on the defendant
today.
In her bill Mrs. Cul1ey will set up as
cause of action the statutory grounds
of failure to provide. 1t is probab
that the divorce will be granted with
out contest on the part of the de,
PENDANT.
The domestic troubles of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cul1ey have been an open secret
to many people in Kenosha for some
time. Three months ago Mr.. Cu1ley
left the city and since that time he has
resided in his old home ia Ohio and
with friends in St. Louis. He re-
turned to Kenosha on Saturday even
wife had begun an action for divorce
was no surprise to him. He stated in
an interview that he was sorry that
matters Of SO intensely private a ma
ture had become public, but that he
had nothing to say in regard to the
suit. He substantiated the rumor that
he would not offer any obstacles to a
legal separation if the case was taken
into court.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cu11ey are we'll
along in years and for this reason if
no other no open rupture of their fam
lily ties was expected among their
friends.
The suit will undoubtedly cause con-
siderable comment among the people
of Southern Wisconsin, for Mr.. Cu11ey
was for several years the best known
newspaper man in this section of the
State. He has recently gained no lit
tie literary fame through the success
of his novel, Barbara" Kenosha
will watch with interest further deve1-
opments in the case.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Paid
Into City Treasury Tuesday for
Liquor Licenses.
FIFTY SALOONS IN BUSINESS.
Order of the Mayor is Observed by the Sa-
loon Men and no Delay lis Experienced
in the Issue of Licenses.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was
paid into the city treasury of the
city of Kenosha Tuesday by the sa-
loon keepers, for the privilege of doing
business in the city during the coming
year. For the first time in MANY
years in Kenosha every saloon has
paid its license fee on the day when
it is due, and there will be no clubbing
over some of the saloons running
without license. For many years in
Kenosha the saloon men have prac-
tica11y paid their licenses at their own
good pleasure but some months ago
the Mayor sent out a notice to them
that the money must be paid on July
1st. The saloon men evidently are do
ing all in their power to assist the
Mayor and all have paid. Ia former
years some of the saloons were allowed
to run weeks and even months without
the payment of the license'fee and in
some cases saloons have been known
to go out of business after running for
some time without the issue Of city
license, The new rule adopted by
Mayor Pfennig has proven 10 be a
spleudid one. There is no one 7n par
ticu1ar to whom is entrusted the colIec-
ton Of saloon licenses and for this
reason the collections were always a
little slow.
Fifty saloons have been licensed
for the year and the number will
probably be increased to fifty-two be-
fore the end of the week. The saloons
which did not take out licenses made
no effort to do business and AT
least one of them which will be opened
later was locked up pending the Issue
of the license.
The breweries and the agents had
little to do with the settlement for
licenses this year and in most cases
the licenses were paid for by the indi-
vidual. The payment of the licenses
has made a decided bulge 10 the,
pocketbook of the city treasury but it
is probable that there will soon be
found some manner in which TO ex-
pend the money paid into the city by
the saloon men.

Harb0r Inspector w. K. Means Finds
Kenosha Harbor in Good Con-
dition This Year.
LITTLE DAMAGE FROM STORMS
The Depth of Water for This Year is Al
most the Same as 1t Was Last Year
Further Work Will Be Recommended

United States Harbor Inspector w.
K. Means, who has been IN Kenosha
for the past few days, has about COM
p1eted the work of making the annual
soundings in the Kenosha harbor, and
his report, which will be issued in a
short time, will be@a most interesting
one. From the report of Mr.. Means It
seems that there has been little change
in the depths of the water in the har-
Dor during the past season and the
heavy northeast winds have not filled
up the channel as IN previous years.
The depths of the water will not be
given out until after the report has
been submitted to the Secretary of
War, but the changes are so slight
that mariners are safe in following the
old charts when entering the harbor.
While the inspector makes an annual
jaunt about the Kenosha harbor, the
visit for this year is of more than
usual interest, as his report will large
1y influence the engineers in recon-
mending furthur appropriations for
the Kenosha harbor. While the in
spector finds little damage from the
northeast storms this year, it is APP
parent to him that the condition of
the harbor would be greatly improved
and the prospect of maintaining a
proper depth would be greatly en-
HANGED by an extension of the present
outer breakwater.
This is the work that Congressman
Cooper has been seeking to have done,
and with the influence of the inspector
and the engineer on the side of Keno
sha it is probable that the work will be
ordered at the next session of Con-
gress.
Inspector Means reports that all the
piers and brea11waters about the har-
Dor are IN sp1e mad condition and no
damage has been done to them during
the year. Some of the private docks
are in very bad shape, but as the gov
eminent has nothing to do with this
property no report is made on their
condition. Some of the docks must be
repaired at once or they will become
utterly valueless.
The inspector reports that that the
piers and breakwaters at Kenosha are
much better than the majority to be
found in lake ports and that they are
being preserved in a remarkab BILE man
ner.

Judge Tarrant Declares Franchise For
Geneva Electric Road Null and
vOid.-Big Deal is Off.
KEN0SHa ROADS ARE AFFECTED.
Various Lines Planned as Connections For
the Milwaukee and Lake Geneva Road
VIII Probably Not Be Built.

Judge Tarrant of Milwaukee county
Circuit court has handed down a de-
cision declaring the franchise of the
Milwaukee, Burlington & Lake Geneva
Electric Railway null and void and the
action of the Milwaukee court will re-
duce to chaos many bright plans of the
people who are planning to build rail-
ways in this county.
The line in question was line pro-
posed to run between Milwaukee and
Lake Geneva to form the outer circle
of series of belt lines among the
lakes of Southern Wisconsin. 1t was
to be an elevated air line road passing
through Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha
and Walworth county and furnishing
to the people of Milwaukee and other
cities in the neighborhood easy trans
portation to the lake regions. The
company promoting the line, headed
by Attorney James L. O'Counor, of
Milwaukee, has expended more than
$4,000 on this line thus far and it was
to have been completed in the fall
Kenosha county will lose little by the
action of the court as the line simply
cut one of the corners of the county.
but the great loss to this county will
be from the fact that other lines
planned as connections to thisI1line
will have to be abandoned as they will
be of little worth without the compile
ton of.the Internationally Geneva
line.
One of these lines was the road pro-
posed by the Inter-lakes Railway com
pauy which was to run from this city
to Pleasant Prairie and from there to
Lake Geneva. This line was planned
as the Southern connection of the
Milwaukee-Gene line and through it
the company expected to get an outlet
to the lake shore on the east and to the
south as far as Waukegan. Other
lines planned to connect the lake re-
gions with Antioch and Lake county,
Illinois.
There is little reason to believe that
the case will be carried to the higher
courts as the recent decision in the
Kenosha case will probably be bar to
the company making any further fight
to secure the possession of its right of
way.
The failure of the road will be a
great disappointment to the people
owning property in the lake districts,
as they had planned to reap golden
harvests from the sale of their property
on the completion of the road. The
managers of the proposed road have
announced that they will make an
other effort to secure franchise and
