ing rain, while the temperature ranged
from Sc to 20. The market showed de-
cided strength at the opening. The
near months advanced as much as II
points and the distant positions eos
points. Orders came in from all quar-
tiers and sellers were rather scarce, AL
though certain prominent bull inter-
ests were understood to have taken
profits and retired from the field, there
was feeling that support was unneces-
sary and that legitimate conditions
alone sutficed now to bring about the
outside support, which has been here
tofore lacking. New Orleans was a
liberal buyer after the opening, and
further improvement was shown in
price, cables showed a decided i'm
provement at Liverpool, and the port
receipts were but 10000 bales, against
$1,000 last year. Estimates tomorrow,
Houston, $500 to $500 bales, against
1855; New Orleans, 5000 to $780,
against S,55S last year.

NAVAL STORES.

Monday, April 81.
TURPENTINE-The turpentine mar
ket opened firm at 42%c., sales 295, and
closed firm and unchanged, sales $50.
Factors are inclined to take a bullish
view of the market and freely express
the belief that higher prices are very
probable to obtain. This is based
upon the present strong undertone OF
the market. The demand is good, and
the entrance of the larger buyers dur
ing the late hours to-day gave further
promise of a better market. Receipts
to-day sol, exports S72, and stock $685.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
steady and closed quiet, with sales of
1870 at the closing. The demand is hight,
and the situation looks decidedly easy.

Murphy q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 21.-Liverpool this
morning showed good advance when
we opened. This was not unexpected,
the reaction there toward the close of
last week was not warranted and was
due to manipulation. The Liverpool
outlook on the whole is quite encourage
ing for the bulls. Prices for spots
there were to-day a half-pence higher
than last year, while stock of all kinds
are 223, 900 more than last year and still
market there continues to respond
promptly to bullish conditions here.
The natural conclusion is that the act
nal trade situation is fully appreci-
ated abroad and that 1t is useless TO
Interfere with the upward course of
values at the present time. Splendid
weather prevailed in the South to-day.

New York, April 21.-Liverpool came
much better and we have followed. be-
coming relatively higher than we have
been for several weeks. This in face of
a larger movement than expected at
Houston and New Orleans for to-mor-
row was due to more favorable advices
received late this afternoon from
Liverpool. There was a better demand
from Manchester, attributed to an in
crease in the demand from, the East.
May was relatively the strongest po-
sition as the remaining straddle inter-
est was engaged in putting their con-
tracts forward as was also the holders
of spots. The undertone has been firm
all day even when the market reacted.
Under the belief that at about pence
there would be a substantial reaction.
This is now the lowest market show
ms the liquidation of the bull party
is not yet fully absorbed, but that its
weight is gradually passing away.

DEFENDS THE NAVY.
Secretary Long Answers the Cr1t1-
cism of Department in Distr10u-
ton of Prize Money.

Washington, Jan. z. = Secretary
Long has addressed to Senator Knute
Nelson, of Minnesota, a long letter
defending the navy department
against what is declared to be UNI
friendly criticism in connection with
the distribution of prize money and
bounty. The letter is called forth by
one from the senator, asking for in
formation on this point for the use
of western newspaper.
The secretary declares that the
criticism that the department has
Disseminated in favor of Admiral
Sampson and against Admiral Schley
in the distribution of prize money
and bounty is unjust, because the de-
partment has no control over this
matter, the money being distributed
from the treasury and all questions
of law and fact relative to prize and
bounty having been determined by
the courts.

DIVIDE THE HONORS.
Hanna Men Organize the House and
the Foraker Faction the Senate
of Ohio Legislature.

Columbus, o., Jan. 1.-THE Ohio legis-
lature convened at ten a m. Monday in
biennial session. Both branches elect
ed the officers nominated a the repub-
lican caucuses last Saturday evening.
The forenoon was spent in the usual
routine of drawing seats, taking the
oath of office, etc. The quiet proceed
ings in bailoting for presiding officers,
clerks and sergeant-a farms, ETC., was
in marked contrast from the exciting
scenes of the past week in the contest
between the Foraker and the Hanna
republicans, for the control of the or
ganization of both branches of the
general assembly.
Notwithstanding the talk of fusion
with the minorities, the Foraker candi-
dates in the senate and the Hanna can
didates in the house, were elected with
their respective full party votes, and
there was no Indication of boiling or
even of disaffection.
At noon the annual message of Gov.
Nash was read in both the senate and
the house. 1t was noted for its recon-
mendations of new system of taxa
ton under which all taxes for state
purposes are to be raised from cor
porations, franchises, the liquor traf-
fc. etc. and all direct taxation for
county, municipal or other purposes
are to be left to the counties. 1t is a
system of home rule in local taxes.

WAR ON MOSQUITOES.
Recent Reports Show That Good Re-
suits Have Been Obtained by
Havana Authorities.

Tt is several months since the pub
lie has heard anything of particular
interest concerning Havana's war on
the mosquito. Possibly some persons
have imagined that because the sub
ject ceased to figure in news dis
patches this method of preventing
yellow fever had been less successful
than it promised to be. How errone-
Gus such an idea, if it exists really is,
is proved by the contents of the last
report of Maj. w. C. Gorgas, U. S. A.,
chief sanitary officer of Havana. This
report is for the month of October
and shows that whereas this month
has been ordinarily one of the Sc
verest of the year so far as yellow
fever mortality is concerned, this
year there was not a single death
from the once much dreaded scourge.
During the last ten years the maxi
mum number of deaths from yellow
fever for the month of October was
in 1896, when total of 240 was
reached. The minimum was in 1899,
when tht deaths numbered IS. The
average for the month during the ten
years has been 66.27 deaths, and it is
evident, as Maj. Gorgas observes, that
complete exemption of the city from
fatal cases of yellow fever is not the
result of mere chance, says the Troy
Times.
Maj. Gorgas declares with emphasis
that the real reason why the yellow
fever mortality is less is that a re-
lentless war has been waged upon the
mosquitoes that have hitherto trans
mitted the disease from one person
to another. It is true that the sani-
tary conditions Of the city have been
much improved, but this has contrib
uted only in small degree to the ex-
cellent results. The October figures
alone are cause for congratulation,
but when Maj. Gorgas adds that there
has not been a single death from yell
low fever in the entire city of Havana
since April /, although the average
for these months had been 362.16, it
is evident that results almost APP
proximatipg the miraculous have
been secured. It must be admitted
that Maj. Gorgas is the best author
ity as to what produced these re-
suits, and his findings should, there
fore, encourage the world to fight
with vigor that the mosquito may be
exterminated.

The largest sum of money ever paid
for a book was 100000 francs, an
amount equal to $4,000. This sum was
paid by the German government for
"Missal" formerly owned by Pope
Leo X, and by him presented to Henry
VIII. of England, along with the parch-
ment which conferred on that monarch
the title of defender of the faith"
title which has since been borne by
all Saxon rulers. In the time of Charles
II. the "MissaP' was presented to the
ancestors of the famous duke of Ham
ilton. The dukes library of rare and
curious books finally fell into the hands

Chinese Imperial Edict Issued Re.
Earding Recent Massacre of
Christians.

Picking, Jan. 1.-The Gazette pub
fishes an edict recounting the massa-
ere at Ning-Sha-Foo, in Kan-Soo prov
ince (where a missionary and num-
Der of Christian converts were re-
ported to have been killed, supposed
ly by troops under the command of
Gen. Tung), and ordering Chinese Of
ficials to pursue and punish the
guilty outlaws.
A second edict degrades the magis-
trate and other Chinese officials with
in whose jurisdiction the massacre oc-
Cured, but retains them in office until
the murderers shall have been secured.
Unless they succeed in apprehending
the guilty parties they are forbidden in
perpetuity to hold office. This edict
will doubtless result in the punishment
of somebody, whether guilty or not.
