In Montgomery she was a social favorite
 To her first appearance on the stage in this city peculiar and unusual interest

 She was given d warm and most cordial reception. Her appearance upon the local stage was the signal for q prolonged

 tic admirers could wish. It showed her
 as true actress, whose success is as-
 sured.
 Miss Whitfeld's stage experience ex-
 tends only over a few weeks. Her artis-
 tic presentation of the charming role to
 which she was assigned. was under the
 clrcumstances remarkable. Her talent
 is undeniable. She has well modulat- ed and pleasing voice and there is not harsh note or accent in it. Her stage presence is most pleasing and actractiYe She has that indefinahle, but strong charm which for want of a better name Is called magnetism. She was the re- cipient of several beautiful floral offer ings.
 As a character actor Tim Murphy has | few equals on the American etagc. nc | seizes in some way the absorbed atten- ] ton of his audience and retains to the | last.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. l6..-Cables today in timated that a better feeling was in evidence in the English market, but it useless to advertise this fact, the records proved il. Deliveries were elevated to the extent of about 6-64 and called firm. while spots rose S2i with sales 1000. In some installces this n- provement was ascribed to a rUm1r that Nell would estimate the crop at lo.2So, 900. but close investigation would probably reveal the fact that moderation of Southern offer fngs and artificial influence re- sponsible for the favorable change. The occu- patton of crop estimator has attracted so many volunteers in that capacity of late with figures much at variance that the trade is estimates and draw It's own conclusions about the size the crop. A frmness developed promptly at the opening here. which was stim- ulated when the weekly crop repcr tfailed to note any improvement in the prospects dur ing the wek but on the contrary, tending to confirm indications of very unsatisfactory yield. The advance naturally created the temptation to realize profits and frequent fluc- tuations resulted, but the undertone held firm throughout the session. Closing quotations are 7GlI points higher than yesterday. It is quite obvious that traders are in a large measure constrained to exercise conservatism. which the large movement and unsettled money situation duly commands, and the market is doubtless healthier for this reason. Senti- ment continues decidedly favorable and if any is well that the djsnosition is go slow. as the bulk of the crop Is only beginning to move and it requires courageous and substantial buying at such period to prove effective. in which it is necessary to have the regular trade interested.

NEW YORK. SeEt. l6-The cotton market opened firm and 7GI2 points higher on a wave of general buying in which tho shorts and Europe were prominent factors. The commis- sion houses were liberal buyers of the Winter months. Northern spinners bid for the fall options and the bull contingent supported the list a whole. Wall Street offered large amounts of March contracts at the higher prices. this cotton beng absorbed by local traders who were tempted to deal in that op- tfon by the abnormal difference between that position and January. matter of 20 points. The English cable news was bullish, that mar ket being up some points, whereas I-point advance had been anticipated. The bull mar ket at all speculative centers today originated in a small crop estimate for Texas and Indian Territory by the Galveston News. 10 per cent. decrease being indicated for Texas and 2 per cent decrease for Indian Territory com pared With last year. Then came a large number of bullish private telegrams regarding the crop. smaller estimates for tomorrow s receipts than looked for, report that the New Orisans Times-Democrat was about to issue a crop estimate of Io,2 200. 900 bales. a further advance in the Liverpool market and bulltsh Government crop weather report.

January to 62 and September to 8. 70. Late in the day there was reaction of SG o points under selling to secure profits by room traders and some of the commission houses. The close was steady, 7@i6 points higher: Total sales estimated at 55o.ooo bales, well distributed through the list.
