and Brattleboro retreat Senator Mayo
moved to reconsider the vote amending
the bill Senator Greene explained that
If the vote IL rconsidered and the amend
ment voted down he would offer sub
stitute amendment.
Senator Brown opposed the motion sayin =
that Senator Greene's proposed amend
ment would not deserve adoption, for the
Brattleboro Retreat needs no aDpropria =
ton. He read at length from the report
of that institution which said it would
be able to run without further State aid
and showing that the rates paid by the
State for the care of patients there have
continually increased from $1.25 a week 10
| $500 per week up to 1876. He went on TO
show that the institution is n good pay
| ing institution He said the institution
| has great wealth and almost no debt. Two
years ago it expended about 81 900 in re-
pairs and did not need any help. Senator
| Spencer favored reconsideration, saving
| the State gets its patients cared for
cheaper at Brattleboro than at Water
| bury. Senator stiles asked how the In
stitutior would get money to make re-
pairs since their property cannot be mort
Gagged. Senator Brown replied the same
way it has doubled and quadrupled its
| property until II Is now over half a mil
} lion dollars in value. The State pays s37i
/ n week for its patients. The institution
was not paying a few years ago hut now
| that the state patients are back there
again in considerable numbers it is again
| profitable. Senator WalbridSc opposed
amy reconsideration. Motion to reconsider
| was lost and the bill passed as amended
with no appropriation for Brattleboro re-
treat. On motion of Senator Lawrence
| the Senate adjourned.

Cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Clay's letter to Cothran & Co.
New Orleans, December 30-Idverpool
pursued the upward course today in a
very determined fashion, and explana-
tons of the occurrence were readily
found In good reports from Manchester
concerning business among spinners and
firm market in India and China. Spots
gained points, with sales of 1000 bags
but deliveries doubled the course and ad-
vanced points. There was ample evil
dence here of the good feeling existing
toward cotton and large additional ad-
ing. Satisfied longs, however. accepted
profits in a moderate way. and besides,
the approaching ginners' report of the
census bureau to be published on the 5th
proximo, with the uncertainty of its eff
feet on prices, rather suggested evening
up - accounts for the time being. In this
process a slight recession occurred, but
the tone held steady. Closing prices were
l to points lower than yesterday.
The trade seems to be occupied now in
attempting to ascertain how much the
kcrop Is likely to fall short of current high
estimates, but this is not saying that
there are none left who still believe that
there are chances of an immense yield.
However. the weight of opinion is in the
opposite direction, and it is incumbent
upon the subsequent movement of cotton
to substantiate the large calculations.
Otherwise, in the face of improved con-
ditions in the principal channels of the
trade. it will be a difficult matter to pre-
vent the establishment of a decidedly
higher level of prices later on.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton market advanced one
sixteenth yesterday. The wagon receipts
were light, being only twenty bales.
There were several advances in the
stock and bond market, which were as
follows: Bessemer Land and Improvement
company from 2O-32 to 1922; Republic
Steel and Iron company, common, from
17-19 to 1920; Sloss-Sheffield, preferred
from 1892 to 1892.
Owing to cold weather FOR the last few
days there has been very little country
produce coming in, and consequently the
produce market has not been very active
There are practically no turkeys on the
market. Eggs, too, are scarce, and are
bringing 26c dozen.
Game is plentiful. Rabbits and squirrels
are selling from 81 to SIPS per dozen,
while quails are bringing from so to g.
Oranges are scarce and sell for 1925
a box.
Cabbage is plentiful at 11kc a pound.

COTTON MARKET
AGAIN ADVANCES.
Scramble for January Contracts
Causes Excitement
CLOSE WAS VERY STEADY
There Was Considerable Profit Taking
on Account of FURRY, But the
Tone Soon Became Firm as
the Session Wore On.

New York, December 3O-The cotton
market, after opening firm at unchanged
prices to an advance of points, ruled
very active and strong with great excite
ment at intervals prevailing. For weeks
the market has been dominated by claims
and counter claims regarding the existence
of q large long interest in January con-
tracts and also regarding Its financial
ability to take care of the large quantity
of cotton accommodating at New York and
at nearby points, which the shorts prom
Used to deliver with market smashing in
tent. A few days ago the leader of the
January pool caused a furry by advising
any OF the scattered longs who might pre-
fer to hold their contracts while being
without financial ability to do so, that
places would be provided on timely notice;
so that selling would not be necessary
under notice pressure This statement
was variously received; but the course of
today's market indicated that 1t was
made in good faith and that 1t was also
made good Notwithstanding notices to
the extent of nearly 100000 bales were is
sued, they were promptly stopped and
scramble for January contracts became
imminent and very active. The position
advanced 10 points, while the rest OF the
list advanced to 10 points. Then fol-
lowed a period of realizing or protit-tak-
ing, under which prices gave way few
points, but the market was finally steady
at net unchanged prices to an advance of
points. Other factors explaining the ad-
vance, now a matter of about &c, since
the middle of November, were continued
small receipts, an advance of l 1-16QAc
in the spot markets of the country, unfav-
orable weather in many parts of the cot
porting an advance of III to points on
futures, and points on spot prices.

trend in cotton was further accelerated
this morning. The air was full of bull
talk and a radical change in sentiment
seemed to be going on in quarters where
least expected. People a few weeks ago
who were sure of bumper crop now
fail to see a remarkable yield. while
those who looked for considerably over
eleven million, privately admit they see
no likelihood of much more than last
