Closing of New York Cotton Market on Account of Llnooln's Birthday Loft New Orleans and Liver
 pool to Fight It out.

New Orleans, February 12,-There was a good Inquiry for spot cotton and the sup ply and assortment offering showed some thing of an improvement. During the nrse part of the day buyers and sellers were well apart in their views and as the op- posing clements could not agree upon satisfactory trading basis. the movement |. was somewhat slow, but later on with the improvement in futures the market became decidedly firm, brisk demand developed and trading was moderately ac- tive at full board prices Sales 545o bales. including 155o to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 The closing of the New York cotton contract market stoday (Linoolns birth day), left Liverpool and New Orleans to fight the battle of prices alone and in all probability prevented repetition of yes- terday's excitement, The English market was wonderfully strong in the face of yesterdays radical decline on this side, refusing to respond to the break. New Orleans after an initial advance of to 5 points forced prices down of her own accord some to g points, and then swung around and worked up rapidly g to Il points, f1uctuating mildly thereafter and standing at the close to points above yesterdays closing prices.

NOTES

In reply to the article in the Weld
County Republican of the 2lst OF
November, 1903: AS soon as the
article was read by me | named the
writer and have since had it corrob-
grated. Up to this time had con-
sidered MIN as being on very friendly
terms with myself, he being one of
the first to warn me against Mr.. Car
michael and associates, and giving
me the past record OF these men
| was aware that Milton Smith
was the attorney for Mr. Carmichael
aud associates and Of his arranging
with Mr.. Fl. f. Churchill before he
appeared in public.
Regarding the politics Of MessIs
Barber, Bready and Thompson,
k now nothing. AS to myself | do
not claim any, as in my day have
voted Tor as many men on one side
as of the other, believing that it is
the man and not the party that
care to support.
That Mayor Watson's activity is
in the interests of the people,
would not question, but l can con-
vince any reasonable man with lit
tie explanation. that if so, matters
have been grossly misrepresented to
him.
I have been after franchises in
other towns several times, after per-
sonal solicitation by prominent citi-
zens, merely to pave the way for a
gIafting scheme for themselves, as it
developed later. In this particular
case l am at home among my &C.
uuaintances, and as l only sleep
twelve hours in the day l have half
of the time to learn something of
what is going on. did not ask for
an exclusive franchise and threw up
Seventh street in order to allow Mr..
Carmichael to have the only street
they claimed they could use. in
tend to see built the lines that are
proposed by myself; and 1T does not
matter to the people here from what
source it may be done as long as they
get 1t. GEO. j. SPEAR.

A DISPATCH from New York says
"Having lost 1922, 600 in Tenderloin
gambling houses in less than three
years, prominent business man well
known in lower Broadway has given 10
the District Attorney a detailed account
of his experience. He is one of several
who, having been convinced by recent
revelations that dishonest methods have
been resorted to by the gamblers, have
volunteered information which a few
months ago they would have guarded as
2 matter of honor" Such men deserve
little sympathy from the public and
their 'honor'' must, of the very neces'
sity Of the case, be of a questionable
character. 1t is dollars to dOughnuts
that if those men had won at the game
no one would ever have heard of theiI
gains, but having lost they "squeel, "
make a great ado about their losses
and become informants. This article is
not intended as a defense of gambling,
but if men will gamble they should take
the consequences for they must know
that all cannot win.
