Caroiu &, Richardson's Letter.

Houston, Texas, January 25.--The ten
dency Of the Liverpool cotton market has
been lower for some time: in fact, prices
between that market and New Orleans and
New York have narrowed materially dur
ing the past month, causing MANY to look
for a decline In our markets to Liverpool
parity or an advance abroad. Prices In
Liverpool today were LEA lower on de-
llverles; spots unchanged 5000 sold. In
our markets prices were little easier at
the opening, steadying later with limited
business. the close being i down to 2
up In New York, and unchanged to l down
In New Orleans. The movement OF cotton
has at last reached point where compari-
sons are less than last year, and from all
information we can gather we will before
many days be running well behind receipts
of 1901. This is what the bulls have all
been looking forward to to advance the
market: now that the time Is here, Will
their hopes be realized? We doubt It, I'm
less tho planting season is delayed and
promises smaller acreage than last year,
There was some rain In Texas today, but
not sufficient as yet to soften the ground
and permit active land preparation. Some
business is being done In spots, quotations
officially advanced 1-16 In Houston and
Galveston today. unchanged In other mar
kets.
Liverpool is due to be unchanged on Mon
day. Cargill d Richardson.

BRADFORD REPORTS ON
PROGRESS OF LAND SUIT
If Jury'S Verdict is Sustained in Bis

$iO5,OOO Left for Other
Work.

Washington. d. c.. Dec. 27.-After a
controversy of two years, the United
States has finally secured site for
naval station in the Hawaiian Isl.
ands at what is known as Pearl Har.
Dor. The controversy as to the price
to be paid for the site resulted in con.
domination proceedings being institut.
ed, as a result of which the United
States will pay but one.fourth of tho
price originally demanded.
Rear Admiral Royal b. Bradford,
chief OF the Bureau OF Equipment OF
the Navy, made public TO-DAY the fol.
lowing statement concerning the pur.
chase:
THE proceedings for the condemna.
ton of the desired site In Pearl Har.
Dor were instituted by the United
States District Attorney at Honolulu,
pursuant to instructions issued by the
Attorney General of the United States.
Captain J. +. Merry, U. S. n. com.
mandant at Honolulu. represented the
Navy Department at the proceedings.
What the Government desired was
a site on the east side of the entrance
and on the south side of Pearl Harbor
on what Is known as the Bishop Els.
tate. The site originally fixed upon
covered an area OF 500 acres. The es.
tate fixed the value at $500 an acre,
which the United States considered
eXorbitant. The condemnation pro-
CCedings were then instituted, under
the laws OF the Hawaiian Islands pro
viuing for the concentration of lands
Tor Government purposes.
Captain Merry was given some dis.
erection as to changing the original
boundary lines. Part OF the land that
was very valuable to the Government
nj the island. and not the United
states, was cut off from the original
boundaries. the United States Govern.
