A special telegram sent out OF
Little Rcck says that returns re-
eeiyed thsre late yesterday alter
noon aad up to midnight last night
ool firm the carly reports Of ex.Gov.
JameszP. Clarke's election to the
U nited States senate TO succeed
Senator James x. Jones. Nearly
all of Senator Jones friends in Little
Rock concede his defeat. Gov.
Clarke has, beyond doubt, secured
IS votes in this legislature, and the
doubtful counties claimed by his
friends in the counties referred to
will very likely swell the vote to 81.
requires only 68 to elect.
Col. James Mitchell, editor OF the
Arkansas Democrat, who was Sena-
tor Jones closest adviser during the
campaign just closed, dictated the
following statement yesterday eve
ming:
"From present indications the
senatorial question is still in doubt,
but | will frankly admit. the outlook
is nos favorable to Senator Jones.
If you wish to know what / think
did it, my answer is, Jeff Davis; the
people are still hoo-dooed. I"
For governor. Dayis is overwhelm-
ingly renominated.
For associate justice, it is prob
able that neither Battle, Wallace
nor Martin will go into the conven-
tion with the necessary number of
votes, and several ballots may be
necessary to decide who is to be the
nominee.
T.. E. Conway leads Hon. T. B.
PAdgett for State land commissioner
aud it is more than likely that the
fest named will win.
Bradford so far is running we'll
ahead of McHenry for agricultural
commissioner.
B. B. Hudgins and ] e. Hampton
OF Monticello are elected railroad
commissioners. The contest be-
tween Judge Phillips of Newport
aud Judge Hanley for the third
place on the commission is still in
douot.

MARKET FOR FUTURES COURSE OF PRICES WAS GEN.
 REALLY UPWARD. Support Was Given by the Wall Street Bulls and There Was
 Fitful Covering by
 the Shorts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The cotton market opened firm with months los points lower and for months 214 points higher. after which the course of the market was generally upward support from Wall Street bulls and ftful covering by local shorts. When the call started the cables were decfdedly against a rally and receipts favored still lower [ ices than were recorded yesterday. Janu- Ary broke to 7.70 and everything seemed to indicate a bear market for the rest of the day. March sold of to 7.8l and May to 7.e2. But as the late months were reached. substantial buying orders came to light, while offerings much smaller than in near months Shorts became nervous and local bulls picked up courage, with the result that the trading level immediately after the call was oWo points over last nights bids Toward mid day there was a slight setback, under proht taking by smaller longs, but when the noon hour arrived the market showed decidedly firm undertone with prices at the best figures of the morning. Shortly after the noon hour a few Southern buying orders made their ap- pearance and started covering by ring shrots This demand found the market almost bare of offerings and sent prices up in sensationai form, May advancing from 7o8 to S.O9 in as many minutes. Light estimates for tomorrow New Orleans and Houston receipts, together with Wall Street buying orders kept the mar ket steady during the rest of the afternoon though there were occasional slight set-backs under sales for profits by longs Bears were troubled by predictions for much higher Liverpool market tone and gave attention al most entirely to closing up accounts wherever opportunity offered. Trading quite active. though business for investment account Kept within comparatively narrow bounds: The close was steady with prices net 9Mi5 points higher.

R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

TBy Special Leased Wire
 NEW YORK, Jan. 9.As was to he expect ed cotton had a sharp reaction after yester- days break May selling from 792 to 9o9 during the day. The strength was due to the covering of shorts. There has been a great deal of long cotton sold of late and more cour- age on the part of bears. The short interest has grown considerably with the bearish feel ing and when estimates this morning were moderate shorts tried to buy and cotton was for sale. The demand seemed to increase with the absence of offerings and prices ad- vanced easily There was very little change in the general situation and cotton bought for the advance should be sold on an upturn in the morning. Even if prices going high CT there is likely to be a setback after such a sharp advance and profit taking will be in order. If the movement shows sharp falling off cotton should be bought for higher prices. lot of cotton has been sold and some short interest created When the situation favOrs buying the advance is likely to be rapid and for this reason we do not like to advise short selling. Cotton should be purchased on every sharp break.
