.MARKETS FOR FUTURES
FIRM LIVERPOOL CABLES AND
 BULLISH NEWS.
The Whole List Sank Back After the Call Under Heavy Realizing
 for Profits by Com
 mission Houses.

New York April 5.-The cotton market opered steady with prices l44 points higher, a very poor response to firm iiv- erpool cables and hullish domestic news. Immediately after the call the whole list sank back to S.92 for July under heavy profit taking by the commission house contingent and large offerings by prom inent Philadelphia house. Room traders later came to the support of the market which. however. v'of ked higher in man., ner SO sluggish as to make the more tim i'd holders uneasy. Port receipts for the day were estimated at 5000 bales. against lo.695 same day last year. Private ad- vices from the South again described very firm spot markets. As the session progressed Wall Street picked up August contracts and appeared to be selling July in quiet way.
 All the forenoon the market was hesi- tant with the room trade slow to step boldly on either side. The market closed quiet and steady net unchanged to [ points lower. having weakened in the last hour under heavy realizing.

n. M. Asals & Co.'S Cotton Letter



 New Orleans. April 5.-The frmness es- tablisied in Liverpool was accentuated to- day by further rise of 1-2-64 in deliver les and 1-16 in spots with sales of 10000 bales which is quite an unusual amount to change hands on half business day, and bespeaks an eager desire for the actual stuffs abroad. Private cables were rather encouraging reporting a firmness with an. Improving tendency in Msnches- ter. Additional realizing of long profits on an extensive scale figured largely in the days transactions here. under the pressure of which prices eventually gave way several points. but even at this slight decline good demand appeared from those who had covered at top quotations and steady tone was maintained. Clos ing quotations are to points lower than yesterday. It invariably develops that with any easier condition in contracts. the urgent demand for spots disappears to some extent. and this is the case at present. though the inquiry at hand for cotton immediately is of sufficient pro- portions to sustain the frmness in the spot department. The enormous liauida ton that has taken place during the past few days is conducive to very healthy condition of the market. and with senti- ment almost unanimously in favor of advanced prices the slightest encouraging development ent forth is likely to re- ceive prompt recognition.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Qnc,) Cotton Letter
 

New York. April 5--All the legitimate conditions surrounding the market this morning were again favorable to con- tinuance of bullsh sentiment SO markedly in the ascendency during the past week. Of course it was anticipated that there would be the usual Saturday profit talk ing by weaker and more cautious holders and this was expected to operate against any decided continuance of upward move ment so far as today's market was con- cerned. It was also argued that while the more important shorts have lately shown q strong disposition to cover, that they ware not vet sufficiently demoraliZed to bid the market up on themselves. The short interest in the market is still inn mense. It is we'll known that the consol-
 dated. Liverpool and stocks afioat are all hedged by short sales between here and Liverpool and this represented something like 1900 GOO bales. With crop prepara- tions admitted backward with a move ment indicating that the reports of the interior exhaustion have had substantial basis backed mp as 1t is by an overwhelm- ing bull sentiment throughout the coun- try, there is very little to he said against tho market

 North American.
 Charles M. Schwah has been spending some time at Atlantic City with his fam fly. Every day it is his custom to be wheeled for a couple of hours along the Boardwalk He was being wheeled the other day by stalwart negro boy. At d point known as the "steepiechase walk he made the negro boy wheel him up and down within such short space that the lad wondered
 Don't you sec anything" asked the Steel Trust President.
 Yes. sir; see a penny on the board . replied the boy.
 Then why don't you pick it up?''
 Well. I didn't think it worth while. as it was only a penny
 You must never talk like that" re- piled MT. Schwab. T saw that penny from the first, too, and wondered that you passed it by. Always look out for pennies and the dollars will come of them selves"

LITTLE COTTON ON HAND.
Remarkably Small Supply Now in the South.

New York. April 5.-(Special)-The New York cotton market today was sold down in the interests of a large Western bucket shop. This concern is reported to have found it elf heavily short of cotton to it's customers, and it's only salvation was in artificialIy making quotations at which the trade could be arbitrarily closed out. The market after the close, Is better. and the value of spot cotton is absolutely unaffected by the temporary alterations of the future market. I continue to ex- pect higher prices next week. Tele- graphic reports yesterday received by me from 6S2 uncounted towns, including prac- tically every place 'of over three hundred inhabitants in the cotton belt. show the following stocks:

NEW SANTA FE TRAINS.
6alina, Abilene, Wellington and Mo
line Are Favored.

Two changes have been agreed upon
in the Santa Fe time card that will be
of advantage to the towns of Salina and
Abilene and Wellington. Beginning on
February 9, a new train will be run
from Salina to Abilene at o'clock in
the morning to connect with a train to
Superior, the returning train being in
the evening.
The new service that begins Sunday
will give Salina % passenger trains
daily, an increase of six since Decem-
Der 1.
The night trains Nos. 203 and 204 on
the Santa Fe will be extended to Wei
lington instead Of Moline on Sunday,
February 16.
The Wellington Journal says: ''It is
rumOred that a new time card will soon
go into effect on this division of the
Santa Fe- The Alva train, if the change
is made, will be cut off and trains num-
bered APT and 42S will run from Newton
to Caldwell, as before, and in the place
of the morning passenger west, pas
lington and Woodward, giving yelling
ton three passenger trains daily over the
Santa F'e."
A Salina paper in speaking of the pro-
posed time card changes there introd-
uceS the subject of a Union depot 1t
says:
Since Salina is to be such an import
ant railroad center, the citizens should
all get together and pull for Union
needed. Salinas passenger and freight
traffic is very heavy compared with
many towns of much larger population,
and it would seem to be very advan-
tageouS to all lines entering here if a
Union depot could be secured

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Old Santa Fe Brakeman Slashed Him
self With Two Razors.

The Williams, Arizona, News says:
John McAndrew, an old-time brake
man and operator on the Santa Fe, and
until recently manager of the Ash
Fork house, made an unsuccessful at
tempt at suicide early yesterday morn
ing at Ash Fork. McAndrew had been
on a protracted spree for some time,
and his effort to end his life was the
result of temporary insanity by his
overindulgence. AS he was out of work
and in pitiable condition he was put to
bed late Thursday night in the room of
one of his friends. In the morning he
was discovered with his throat horribly
gashed and both wrists cut. DR.. Tyroler
was hastily summoned by wire and left
for Ash Fork on a light engine. Some
idea of the extent of the self-inf1icted
injuries can be had from the fact that
it required forty stitches to close the
wounds. After regaining consciousness,
McAndrew admitted that he had used
two razors, one in each hand, to do the
work. His escape from serious injury
is miraculous. He was taken to the
county hospital at Prescott last night"

PURIFY THE WATER.
w. A. Powers Goes to Guthrie to Help
Put in q Plant

w. A Powers, chief chemist, left
Thursday for Guthrie, Ok, where he
will assist in getting the new water
purifying plant in operation, whereby
the Santa F'e is to get pure supply
for it's locomotives. This is the first
of it's kind which the company has
built, but others will probably be placed
at different points soon.
The manner of getting rid of the min
erals which form an incrustation on
the steam pipes of the locomotives is
by means of chemicals which throw
down those elements, the process re-
quiring about five hours time. There
are two reservoirs containing $4,000 gal
Ions into which the supply is pumped
directly from the creek.
This N after of getting water for the
locomotives which will not eat out the
metal is a difficult one for the railroads
of the west. The lime is certain to
gather in the pipes of the boiler and
make it necessary for them to be re-
moved often and run through a rat
tier" In California the novel expert
ment of evaporating the water for To-
connective use by means of sunlight was
tried last year, but found in npractica-

DROPS THROUGH CARS.
Santa Fe Makes an Important An
nouncement-

The Santa Fe has anticipated the op-
Grafton of the new law said to have been
adopted by Mexico, preventing Pullman
sleepers crossing the border, by an
nouncing that it will at once abandon
its through Pullman service from Chi
cago and Kansas City to the City of
Mexico.
The reason assigned is that the cars
can not be kept in sanitary condition
for such a long journey
It is believed, however, that the en-
trance of the Rock Island to Ell Paso
has had something to do with the
change in the plans of the Santa F'e.
It is rumored that the Rock Island de-
manded that the Mexican Central give
it the same facilities for through Pull
mans that it was giving the Santa Fe.
For some reason, the Mexican Central
was Obliged to refuse to do this. but it
is said that to keep itself on friendly
relations with the Rock Island it was
obliged to refuse to take through Pull
mans from the Santa Fe.
In the future. it will be necessary
