One broker ho stood in the pit and sold the pool all the 5nuary they wanted at 8 64 less than two keks ago, took several thousand bales of 5arch from the same people at 7,s9. This is hat we term good buying. New Orleans red that no cotton was offered there to |ak of and little buying now would steady the market decidedly. This brought many he improved steadily after the first hour an advance tomorrow we would take profit the cotton bought on the break and then on decline we would buy again.

 Our market nuiet and steady

eased of slightly making the net gain 8 to g points on the day. After such a sharp decline 1t Is but natural that a reaction should be es- tablished, especially when every one was play ing for same. There has been hrge amount of liquidation during the past three days, and unless there Is continuance of speculation and e brisk demand for spots it is questionable whether the market will enhance much fur ther. considering the favorable character of crop advices being received from the interior. Texas correspondents claim the top crop is opening in all sections. and similar reports are being received from all the other States
 Receipts continue . liberal scale Still with an improved demand for spots values may be maintained However in our opinion
 the course of the market will be ruled prin- cipally by receipts and the -'', of spinners.

Manila, Nov. l2.-The further decline In the price of silver has forced the Government to raise the rate of exchange to $250 Mexican for $1 gold. The cheap ening of silver has resulted in the in- creasing the loss of the Government and all other holders of silver. The instabil- ity of the present currency is seriously damaging business and the members of the commercial interests will unite in making a strong plea to Congress for the establishment of notwithstanding currency.

DARING BREAK
FOR LIBERTY
Bob .lones Leaves The jail Wa
Window.
Had Been Robbing Ashton Bros.
For More Than Year, And
Had just Been Arrested

Bob Jones. a negro with an unsav-
ory reutation, made a sensational and
successful break for liberty from the
Office of the county jail Saturday
evening. after having been a prisoner
rot more than half an hour.
Nor the past year Messrs. Ashton
Il Is have known that some person
was gaining an entrance TO their mill
and making almost weekly robberies:
Mr. S. F. Ashton lost valuable pistol
and other personal belongings. The
cash drawer was broken into regularly
and at first various amounts In small
schsrige were stolen, but after rev
lessons all money was placed In the
safe. Flour and meal was OF course
stolen, hut where there was so mucn
-four and meal a theft OF this CHAR
acter was not always detected.
Every effort was made to catch or
identify the thief, but without success
till Saturday evening.
Sometime before dark, Constable
tGoad and Deputy Goodwin reached the
mall and concealed themselves under
the warehouse.
Soon after the mill had closed
down, Jones emerged from cornneid
across the pike. climbed scantling
and entered the mali by second
story window. After remaining
sometime in the building he came
ont by the same window, bringing
bag of meal with him. Constable
sGoad started towards the negro, who
ran down the river bluff with the
meal still on his shoulder.
Deputy Goodwin, who had not been
seen by the negro. ran down the pike
and reached the river bridge IN time
to take Jones and his sack OF meal
in charge. :,
The negro was taken to Jail, where
he requested to see Messrs. Sam ana
.John Ashton. He acknowledged MS
-ouilt and systematic robDerles TO them
and begged to be let off.
Sheriff Forgey, Deputy GOODWIN
Constable Goad and four or five other
men were in the Office at the jail at
the time.
Mr.. Sam Ashton refused the ne,
-uroe's request and said, bob, III
furn Won over to the sheriff. -
ont a window, without taking time
70 omen If. Constable Goad was little
less prompt in going out the same
window. while Deputy SherlH roIgey
and Deputy Goodwin followed swiftly
out other exits. -
Fire was opened on the negro; wno
had started down the alley beside the
iail, towards the river.
He did not hesitate but contlnue9
on his way and was soon swallowed
up in darkness, and has not oeeh seel
or heard from since.
