PRICE OF STOVES ADVANCES.
Association Bases Increase on Price of
 Pig Iron In Recent Sales.

Chattanooga, Tenn, February b.-The price of stoves was advanced at a meet ing of the Southern Stove Manufacturing Association held in this city today. The meeting which was attended very large ly by the members of the association was called by President John H. Mo- Cure of Nashville. While it was decid- ed unanimously to raise the present scale of prices no definite decision as to the extent of the raise was reached and this feature was referred to a commit tee.
 It is claimed by the association that a raise in the price was occasioned by the advance in pig iron and coke. The New England and Western Association recently took similar action to that taken by the Southern Association today.

Cables rose 1 point and the receipts at the ports were 22.000 against 25,ooO last year.
 Just how the trade stands on the mar ket is not known. All sorts of reports are circulated on this point The so- called bull clique is causing a good deal of discussion. Immense Wall Street con cerns are said to have combined under the lead and advice of a small crop champion with the determination Of holding on for long pull even if 1t ex- tends into the summer. An advance of no less than cents is the plan accord ing to those who pretend to know what is going on behind the curtain. One re- port has 1t that two firms holding ma jority of March contracts will take them up, having bought March when 1t was 10 points below May. The statement Is m ade that they will sell May with the intention of delivering the cotton they took in March.

Murnhv 6 Co., Cotton Letter.

New York, February 5.-The feature of tho carly market was an advance of 8 points in March and to for other
 months. Cables were satisfactory and muhh more so than looked for but the great point after all was the small re- ceipts, and despite the conflicting views as to the cause the fact that they are last wear, helps prices and makes bears reluctant to make any effort to keep the market down. In fact there is greater disposition generally to take the bull side inasmuch as there is now greater probability than was thought possible un- til recently of making a crop consider ably under the extremely high estim ates.

SUMTER ELIMINATES NEGRO.
Out of 5000 Heretofore Qualified Very
 Few Will Vote.

Livingston, February b.-(Special.)- There are 1850 white voters in Sumter County and 5000 negro voters. Of these not fifty whites have disfranchised them- selves by not paying poll tax. Only about 300 negroes have paid the poll tax, but this does not mean that 800 will vote in Sumter because there are other qualifica- tions necessary that will debar them. Very few negroes will vote in Sumter, but there will be at least 1900 white voters out of 1850.

EotSon Letter.

c. W. Lee 6 Co.'S. Letter to Cothran &
 Go.
 Cotton steadied considerably on the light movement and prospects of contin- ued moderate receipts for some days. July sold at 8.23 and May at S2 The feature today was the advance in March until the May and March option were exchangeable for a point difference. This is the narrowest difference existing for some time. The advance was due to short covering by the more important interests March has been observed in a way that left few selling orders to be executed on the advance. Traders have fought shy of March as liquidation Is expected this month. For the present 1t Is more of a running away of the shorts than of the longs. On the advance today the selling of May attracted attention but the absorption of the cotton was very good and short selling was unimportant. Liverpool advanced a point and closed firm News from the South was favora- ble to the market and we should not be surprised to see a further advance before receipts increase. This is no time to short cotton and while we would rather buy on a more active market the present outlook favors buying on decline rather than otherwise.
