Friday, Jan. 2.
All. conditions combined to-day to
impart great strength to the cotton
market, which closed firm at the ad-
vance everywhere. Liverpool came
some 4 to points, and was followed
by a sharp rise at New York, which
closed firm IL to 81 points up. New
orleans also closed with large gains.
The buying was general, and appear
ed to be of an urgent nature at times.
The cotton markets are regarded as
wholesome, with sentiment over
whelmingly bullish, and the general
disposition being to get on the long
side
The weekend figures were buillish,
showing loss on the same week last
year of over 10000 bales. Both Mr..
King and Mr.. Hester showed the in
sight loss about the same. On this,
and the lighter receipts at the ports,
which were 1882, against salts for
the same day last year, the market
tended upward. Unless receipts show
a substantial increase within the next
few DAYS it was the current opinion
to-day that prices will seek a higher
level. What the effect of the great
buIlishness will be remains to be seen,
but older heads know that the market
cannot go in the same channel all the
time with all traders bulls.
The naval stores markets closed
firm, with turpentine 52hc. Resins
closed firm. The wholesale markets
closed steady. Resume of the markets

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened strong at an advance of 8
to IA points, ruled very active with
prices steadily working upward until a
net rise of II to 81 points was appar-
ent and on this basis the market clos
ed firm. The advance was started by a
strong attitude shown at Liverpool
during the holiday here. To-day's ca
bles showed a net rise of points on
spot cotton and S15 to 9 on futures.
According to private cables the Eng
lish advance originated in the appear
ance of an active demand from China
and better Manchester conditions. to-
gether with the disappointing move
ment of cotton in this country notwith-
standing the favorable weather pre-
vailing in most parts of the cotton belt
for the transportation of supplies from
the interior. Superintendent King
makes the port receipts for the week
1884, 4S against 301,95 last year, and
the amount brought into sight for the
week 33S.697 against 3S1.227 last year.
which brings the amount brought into
sight, according to the New York Cot
ton Exchange figures 6,837,5S bales
against 6,S25,73S bales last year. when
the crop, according to the Chronicle
was 10,701,0 900 bales. The current de-
lnand for cotton at this point has been
based largely on the disappointing
movement in connection with the rec
ord consumption as indicated by the
absorption of cotton this season. Shorts
who have been depending upon a larg-
er volume of receipts have been ac-
lively buying to cover. while the pub
lie demand has been further stimulat-
ed by strong spot cotton markets
throughout the cotton belt. these gen.
orally showing an advance of 116 to
3-16c. Large exports also were a fac
tor into-day's rise with Wall street in
terests leading the demand throughout
the session. Total sales 100000 bales.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm Lice up, with
the demand fairly good, but with fac
tors asking in some cases more than
exporters were willing to pay. 1t was
natural in view of the rising tendency
of the New York market that holders
would expect higher prices, and realiz-
ing this it was the current opinion that
buyers were inclined to wait until con-
ditions were more favorable for them.
However, the days business was satis-

Spartanburg, 8. c., Sept 14.-What
promised to be a new and interesting
| move in the Tillman case, was SEIZED
uled to have occurred here, but did
not materialiZe, because of the failure
of the lawyers to reach here in time.
The attorneys representing the state
in the THllman case have informed
Chief Justice Pope that Judge Town
send is Objectionable to them, as the
presiding officer at the trial, and that
they desire to move for a revocation
OF the order appointing Judge Town
send and move the appointment OF
some one else.
Judge Townsend was appointed by
the chief justice to preside at the Lex
ington term Of court OF which J. II.
T1llman will be tried, because of the
incapacity of the regular judge to pre-
side on account Of illness.
When Judge Pope was informed that
such motion was desired to be made
he was at his summe horne at Flat
Rock, N. O. Such hearings have to
occur in the state, and he named Spar
hamburg as the place for the hearing.
The chief justice came to the city
but was not met by any attorney at

terday afternoon.
1t is not known on what grounds
- \ !
Judge Townsend will be asked. 1t Is
said that Judge Townsend has always
been the personal friend and support
err of the Tillmans Colonel P. H. Mel
son, one of the attorneys for the de
tense, has been quoted as saying that
such a motion will not be opposed
when made, as it is immaterial to
them which Judge presides, all they de-
sire being a fair one.
