COTTON.
New York. Jan. 9--The cotton market
opened steady with prices points lower
to / point higher and for moment was
without special leaning in other direc-
lions. Bulls and bears were extremely
cautious and slow to take initiative until
the feeling among investors was known.
The cables and the movement OF the
crop were against any Improvement, but
offsetting these factors were very bullish
reports from Southern spot markets and
splendid trade statements from dry
goods and cotton cloth markets. Soon
after the call there was general move
ment among shorts to cover and severai
good sized orders to buy late months
were received from investors. From the
slight start thus made the market rapid
ly grew firmer and speculative buying
increased by leaps and bounds. There
was little cotton for sale at any price
while the short interest seemed to be
thoroughly frightened and in no posi-
ton to offer resistance to bull efforts.
From 500 May quickly advanced to 500,
and then after slight reaction made a
new upward lurch, this time touching
S.13 before a reaction set in. Wall
Street picked ups large blocks around the
high figures of the morning, the more
conservative longs sold for profits. Liv-
erpool lost no time in getting into line,
and not only advanced in full keeping
with our rise, but contributed buying or
ders. The South became a large buyer on
the rise and commission houses were
made more busy than they have been in
some weeks. At midday the market suf-
fered something of relapse under a
scramble for profits started by big es-
innate for tomorrows New Orleans re-
ceipts, but still later turned strong on
remarkably bullish advices from South
ern spot markets. From sos the May
option jumped to ST., this being IL
points over last nights final bids and
some 25 points up from the recent low
level. Rumors that the movement was
on the verge OF a pronounced drop, and
reports that exporters were raising bids
throughout the belt served to stimulate
buying in the last hour. Trading was
unusually active all the late session and
very general. The close was firm with
prices net to IA points higher

TEMPORARY INSANITY
j. P. Eastman Alleged to Have At
tempted to Restore His Brothers Life.

Us +. EaSlndtIt# HueSCu 81 " 'eAsS : -
tempted to Restore His Brothers Life.
When the appeal case of j. 7. East
ham comes up in the Hastings Court
next term. the defense will attempt to
prove temporary insanity. Eastman was
found guilty of attempted improper treat
ment of fourteen-year-old colored girl,
and given one year in jail in the Police
Court last week.
N.Y. Harry Glenn and Mr.. Lindsay Cor
don. Of Louisa, appeared for Mr.. last
ham in Police Court at the hearing CT
tbs charge brought by the negro's girls
brother. AT that time it was shown that
Mr.. Eastman was guilty of the crime,
tile girl producing several letters to her
to Substantiate# her claim. and the TRENDS
OF Mr. Eastman, who comes OF prom
inent family, can only attribute TINS TO
temporary insanity.
When Mr.. Glenn was asked about the
matter yesterday he affirmed the state
nellts as to the condition OF his client,
and said that the probable defense against
the negro girls charge will be insanity. His
conduct can be accounted for in no other
way Meanwhile. however, Mr.. Eastman
is allowed full liberty, the bond of $500
given in Police Court yesterday morn
ing being held sufficient for him.
In Police Court yesterday a gentle
man who has known M Eastman for
several years spoke freely of Mr.. East
hams occasional mental trouble. He said
that some time ago Mr.. Eastman had a
quarrel with his brother, that later this
brother left5tle home in Louisa because,
rarity, Of quarrel with the present de-
f..ndant, and went to another State
| There he became i'll and died, his body
| being shipped back to his old home.
At this time the defendant. suffering
intensely from his brothers death, dis
| played signs of responsibility mentally.
| but little was thought of it at the time.
Finally this assumed peculiar shape
and Mr.. Eastman declared that he could
bring his brother back to life. This
was several days after the burial. Final
| ly it all resulted in Mr.. Eastman going
to the cemetery and disinterring his
brother. He wrapped the body in blank
cts and took it to his room. where it
remained until taken from him and re-
buried. Various other mental eccen-
| tricities have come to light in refer
/ ence to Mr. Eastman.
It is believed mat on proof of this
state Of affairs that the case in the
Hastings Court will be dismissed.
