DENT DIMES IN JAIL AS USUAL
His Tour to Some Other Town is
Called Off.

j. T. Dent, the alleged forger, will
dine at the Jail today, as he has done
sinces that tioe day in June when he
became permanent boarder there.
This statement is made because of the
fact that Dent declared several days
ago that he would not eat dinner at the
jail today, but would dine at Hawkins :
vile instead Ii he expected to get
out on bond it proved a pipe dream,
truly, as he is still in his little steel
cage where, in all likelihood, he will
linger until superior court convene 8
next month when the erstWhiIe Cali
fornian will face a jury upon two
charges of forgery.

AMERIcUs HAD BUSY SATURDAY.
Streets Crowded Despite the Hard
Showers.

While the hard rain yesterday kept
hundreds from coming to Americus,
other hundreds braved the moisture
and filled the business streets with q
surgiAg mass of Saturday shoppers.
Few merchants were disposed to COM
plain, although they had looked for
ward to day of "unexampled pros
perity" from business standpoint.
About 500 bales cotton were handled at
the warehouses, which was exceeding
Iy light receipts for the season. The
price still stood steady at 912 cents,
and the sale of the staple went long
ways towards helping business.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Mary May See But 1t Takes Genius to
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said There must be power in
that steam that it can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put it's
finger on the cause" of Dandruff Fall
ing Hair, and consequent Badness, and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this

The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-06

The large engagement for export of
corn and the resulting making of ex-
change made an encouraging factor.
There was a notable disposition for
the speculation to seek low priced
stocks, both amongst the railroads and
industrials. Some of the soft coal
stocks were in demand, especially
those tapping the Ohio and West Vir-
ginia fields. A rally in st. Paul from
early depression had an encouraging
effect upon the speculation as did the
strength developed in Sugar, but the
irregularity in the market persisted I'M
til the close.
There was some evidence of invest
ment demand in the bond market and
some of the lower grade bonds which
still return a comparatively high rate
of interest were the favorites. Total

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKEr.

New Orleans, Jan. 5.-The spot cot
ton market was very quiet to-day.
Quotations unchanged.
Contracts were quite active during
the first part of the day. The early
break in prices at Liverpool combin-
ed with the uncertainties attached to
the Census Bureaus expected crop re-
port led to heavy trading and rapid
and wide fluctuations in values. Jan
uary opened down 10 points, while the
other months showed initial loss of 8
to points. After the opening call
January recovered IL points, while the
other positions moved up to points.
The Census Bureaus report proved to
be of a bullish character, but failed
to establish an upward tendency to
prices. In fact, after the first shock
prices went off on the other tack, the
board at the close showing net losses
of II points on all positions compared
with Saturdays closing figures.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened unsettled at decline of ca
10 points. After the first sales a few
OF the more active months declined
point or two further The early weak
ness was due to active liquidation of
long accounts following a statement by
the former leader of the bull faction in
dicating a change of front with reasons
given for lower prices. All the cotton
thus offered, however, was soon alb
sorbed and with decided regeneration
at Liverpool, where the market had
declined rapidly under the same pres
sure; and with the weather in the
South poor and with the receipts small,
the local market made a quick re-
covery of to 10 points, which was the
basis of trading at noon when the
census bureau issued a statement indi-
eating that up to and including De-
cember Is, 9,311, S35 bales of cotton had
been ginned and that 1,057,771 bales re-
manned to be ginned, together TO-
369,606. The details of the report show
ed that large proportion of round
bales reduced the actual number of
regulation bales to something under
100000 bales, as some figured. But,
while the statistical position of cotton
remains strong and notwithstanding
the bullish character of the census
showing a very active selling move
ment set in during the afternoon large
ly for short account on the ground that
all bullish factors had been discounted
in the late advance. The market was
finally barely steady at net decline of
to 10 points, the final figures being
the lowest of the session. Total sales
estimated at 100000 bales.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 5.-To-day's ex-
tremely Irregular and uneven stock
market made considerable show of
strength and of a fair degree of ac-
tiYity. Stocks that did not share in
the strength were not generally reac-
tiona"y but were rather restrained
from the advance by selling to take
profits.
Commission houses reported some
growth in outside demand and the.
feature OF the days trading was the
comparatively small lots dealt in. The
great speculative pools were active
points, hut In stocks in which outside
demand appeared they were inclined
demand. The money rate relaxed very
distinctly to-day, and some of the
hanks reported renewals OF call loans
FIR large amounts at materially lower
rates Than those lately prevailing. The
market rate on the exchange fell be-
low per cent. late in the day. Time
money was also easier, and for the
longer periods there was difficulty in
placing funds. The problem of future
net earrings of railroads is kept alive
by the continual reports of advancing
wages.
The reopening of the Union Pacific
wage question was a distinct drag
upon that stock. The hard coalers re-
fleet profit-taking and the United
States Steel preferred was a notable
example of the same process, although
the common stock shared fairly in
the general strength of metal stocks,
including the railroad equipment COM
panies. The further advance in the
price of copper benefited Amalgamated.
The Southwestern railroads were the
subject of speculation on the ground
OF the early benefit to be derived in
the corn crop. Missouri Pacific was
prominent and was helped by it's in
crease i'm gross earnings for the fourth
week in December of $4,000. Louis

Monday, Jan. 5.
The cotton markets apparently
reached their high point for the time
being, at least, on Saturday judging
from the sharp drop to-day, and the
general desire to liquidate holdings. In
some cases commission houses were adj
vising their people to let loose, with
view of again picking up cotton at
lower prices. At New York the closing
was at a decline of to Is points, while
at New Orleans the losses on the day
we're about II points.
The disposition among the trade to
discount the government cotton crop
estimates accounts for the little effect
they have upon the market as COM
pared with the part they formerly
PLAYED. Now the trade take the fig
ures, add or deduct according to their
individual ideas of what the crop will
be, ana with the eNlStihS uHSeI CdlhIy
as to the correctness of the estimate
after this reconstruction attach little
weight to it. Then, too, recent esti-
mates by the government have been
given to the public with a number of
strings tied to the figures. An estimate
came to-day, but it too lacked posi-
tiveness. 1t was a statement of the
amount of cotton ginned up to Dec. Is,
and showed that there have been GIN
ned q.3l1. 1886 bales, and estimate yet to
be ginned 1857 making a total of
10. 1863 sos From this must be a deduc-
ton for round bales. commercially
counted as half bales, which brings
the total for this crop according to the
government down to 100000.
