New York, Nov. 12-Buyers have been
more or less restricted in the dry goods
market, and yet there is no evidence OF
weakening on the part of sellers On the
other hand the steady advance of the raw
material has caused additional firmness
on the part of sellers. The wage reduc-
tion at Fall River has been discounted
and is expected to be followed by like
reductions in other centres
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE cotton market
opened firm at an advance of l to =
points in spite of lower cables than ex-
pected, rather better weather than pre-
dicted, and the prospect for big receipts
for the day on bull support and covering,
which seemed chiefly due to the reassur-
ing nature of advices from Fall River
stating that strike was unlikely to re-
suit from the contemplated reduction IN
wages. After the call, trading was fair
ly active but sentiment was very unsettled
and fluctuations cratic. though compare
lively narrow. By the middle of the
forenoon prices had worked down unit
close of the previous night but at thus
level tho market was rallied by the es-
Inmates for tomoTrow's receipts at lead
ing points which reflected a decreasing
tendency In the movement. In addition
to this private advices from Southern
spot markets reported continued in
quiry for actual cotton at fairly we'll
maintained prices and during the after
noon the buying became very active par
ticularly for the account of firms having
New Orleans connections. Rumors were
circulated that strong Wall Street syn
dictate had been formed for the purpose OF
entering upon a bear campaign. but tn
had little effect on the market, which
continued to advance. until it had reached
nearly the previous high level. From
1924, the low point CT the morning, De
cember sold to 11.09; January from 1885
to 11:10; March touched 11.16 and May
sold at Ills. The close was a point or
two off from the top, but the market was
finally firm net IA to q points higher.
Sales were estimated at 500 900 bales.
The New Orleans buying was supposed
to represent the entrance into the local
market of the New Orleans bull trader
There was heavy realizing as the market
worked upward, but the disposition to sell
seemed confined chiefly to low accounts,
shorts apparently having been somewhat
intimidated by the continued stability of
values.

Reddock is man of culture and

until the day of his discharge from
the penitentiary, the most important
and responsible position of any inmate
there. Much of the work on the last
biennial report and the one preceding
was done by him. He has been the
clerk in Warden Hartford's Office and
in addition, has had entire control of
the prison roll call, a responsibility

unique as that Of any man in the

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.

Capt John d. McInnis, chairman
of the Mississippi Railroad Commits
sioner, has received the following let
ter from the chief of the government
Census Bureau:
The establishment of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor and of a
permanent census Office makes it pos
sible to establish closer relation be-
tween the Federal and State offices.
The Census Office desires to establish
such relations because it is believed
that there is no more important work
in the statistical field than the adop-
tion of uniform methods and schedules,
and of cooperation between different
statistical offices.
I'VE feel that the success of this
movement is dependent largely upon
the interest of State officials, and,
with this end in view, the commits
sioners Of State labor bureaus at their
recent convention appointed per-
manent committee of three to look
after the matter. This committee
will have its headquarters at the GEN.
sus Office, and desires to enter into
correspondence with all state officials
who are interested in the subject.
l shall be pleased to receive any
suggestions that may occur TO you in
regard to. this cooperative work; also
copies of any schedules that may be
used by your office in collecting stat
istics which would in any manner
touch upon the work of the federal

The result of the last years work at
the Experimental station at Mcneil was
such as to make the management of the
New Orleans & Northeastern railroad
believe that it is desirable for all the
people along its line to know as much
az possible about it.
To that end special excursion train
will be run from Meridian to Mcneil
and return. Wednes lay, June 10, leav-
ing Meridian al 200 a. IN and reach
ing Mcneil about u: noon; and re-
turning, leave McNeill about p. M In
order TO give the people who are inter
ested in the work of station AN opportu
nifty to thoroughly inspect the place,
Mr.. Ferris. the director Of the station
will be on hand to explain the work of
the station, and he will be assisted by
some of the professors from the Agrl-
cultural and Mechanical College of
Starkville.
The excursion, while at Mcneil, will
| take the character of a picnic, in the
grove on the grounds. Splendid water
| will be supplied from the wells on the
| farm, etc, but as there is no place at
Mcneil suitable for provididg enter
tainment, it has been decided to sug
gest that the excursionists carry baskets
and MAKE picnic of it.
A baggage car will be on the train,
and baskets can be put in that car.

DYING man NAMES Hts MURDERER.
Tells Who Shot Him and Doctor Who Bent
Over Him Knows the Story Prominent
Clubman Implicated Coroner to
Make Full Investigation.

New York, May 2S.-When it be-
came known that John Hefferman,
who was shot on the lawn of the Ards
ley Club, near Irvington, last Sun
day night. had made statement be-
fore he. died, naming a prominent
member of the club as the man who
had shot him, the greatest doubt
was expressed by the people of Tar
rytown and vicinity.
1t could not be possible, they all
said, that man of such social posi-
tion as the one named was the slayer,
and it was tacitly agreed among the
club members and the owners of villas
around Ardsley on-the- Hudson to
guard his name with great secrecy.
But the fact was brought out last
night before CORONER Russell at the
inquest that such statement was
made by Hefferman before he died,
and the coroner adjourned the inquest
until Friday when he will resume the
hearing of testimony on the premises
of the Ardsley Club, in view of the
scene of the murder. DIR. Denison, of
Ardsley who was the fisrt physician
called to attend the wounded coach
man, said on the witness stand:
"There is one other thing Hefferman
said to me before he became uncon-
cious, and | feel it my duty to tell
it here. He said that he recognized
his assailant as a prominent member
of the club. -
DR.. Denison had told Of his asking
the wounded man how he was shot
and of sending him to Dobb's Ferry
hospital, and he added the statement
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-05-29

just given as if with reluctance.
Coroner Russell did not ask him to
reveal the name.
Meanwhile the colony aroused Ards
ley is greatly excited. The police
who have been working on the murder
mystery believe that if the man
named by Heffreman did the shooting
he was mistaken in his man, that he
really meant to kill someone else and
seeing Hefferman dimly in the dark
with a woman on the club terraces
took him for the man he may have
suspected.
Macmillan E. Snad. by whom
Hefferman was employed as coach
man, is quoted as asying:
1.-THE coachman could not have
been himself when he made the ac-
cusation. He was dying and could
not be expected to speak calmly or
even correctly.
Besides the man named Heffer-
man was in the crowd that gathered
after the shots were heard in the club
house and was one of those who car
ried Hefferman from the spot where
he fell to the railroad station to be
treated by the physician. DR.. Deni-
son today denies that he had said to
the coroner that Hefferman had told
linn the doctor that he recognized
the man who shot him as a member of
the Ardsley club. What Hefferman
did say, according to DIR. Denison,
was that he thought his assailant
mistook him for one of the club
members and tackled him for the pur-
pose of robbery.
