FOUND HIS DAUGHTER.
Fourteen Year Old Girl Had Run Away
From Home,

A gentleman who resides in New
Prague, but who formerly lived in
Msnkato. came to the city yesterday
in search of his fourteen year old
daughter, who ran away from home.
He found her visiting friends in this
city, and called upon Chief Bowen to
give the ytung lady a talking to,
parental admonitions having had no
effect thus far. 1t. appears that the
young miss runs away from home

company him home. New Prague is

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 7-Cabe advices to- day from Liverpool were quite unfavorable, ex- pressing the opinion that the heavy movement had up to the present been discounted, but a continuance of free receipts would force prices lower large long interest had been &C., cumulated on the belief that early and ma terial falling of was impending. The action of the English market indicated timidity on both sides, for in the face of the disCourag1ng movement deliveries only declined 12-64d, while spots were called steady with moder ate sales at unchanged prices. Attention on this side directed chiefly to the movement which continues expanding scale not withstanding numerous recent predictions of a perpendicular drop. Longs became disheart- ened to a considerable degree in consequence and with the courage that bears took on. gradually supplied the fresh speculative de- mand that attracted by the decline. In the net result of the days transactions, prices about 10 points lower than yesterday. The extended heaviness of receipts is prob ably much of surprise to bears as to bulls, but the fact that cotton is moving persist ently in large quantity, gives reason for fear that,a decided falling off may occur when least expected and 1t is this possibility that Conserv atve traders are keeping constantly in view, but unless the anticipated dmnution soon oc CUTS. large crop ideas may become popular and the support from speculative sources may be to large extent withdl avn, in which event prices would suffer greater depreciation.

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 7.-Iiverpool' was disappointing, consequently our market opened 4 points lower, declined points additional on the heavy port and interior receipts and the largest estimates for both New orleans and Houston tomorrow being accelerated by the weakness of spots closing at net loss of solo points on the day Port receipts for the four days are 53ooo in excess of last year and S2,o 900 over year before last. The semiweekly interior receipts point to SS 900 against 64,ooo last year, 49 900 year before last, or a gain of 37 per cent over last year and 79 per cent over year before last. The continuance of these immense receipts well Mir. Testers analysis have been instrumental in shaking the confidence of many who had small crop views and the probability is that those who bought freely on the bureau report under the impression that their estimates would be approximately correct will abandon such ideas, especially as the movement is run ming a basis of 10. 600 900 crop. It must be remembered also that if the amount brought into sight only equals last from now out it will point to the above figures. It ap- parent today that the increased crop estimates would soon become current and the long interest is very large liquidation may set in when least expected.

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 4d6 points lower and for time resisted all efforts to break May through the Scent level. Opponents of the market attacked the late months on the idea that the port movement. which was nearly 100 per cent. larger than the same day last year and the weak cables from Liv- erpool warranted decline. English selling orders and some pressure from, the South added to the confidence of the shorts. Wall Street refused to believe in lower market and in- creased its line of long cotton. mostly the May option but the morning wore along commission houses became large sellers and the English market sold lower Before mid day local longs sold excitedy and commission houses sold on stop orders.
