New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. Ie.-Spot cotton fairly active today. Orders now coming in from spinners that carry higher limitations. enabling buyers to work to better advantage and inducing the tabng of a better assort- to arrive. Quotations advanced hc.
 There was only one side to the cotton con tract market today and that was the long side. Operators were fairly active and from the outset bid prices up all along the line. The opening figures at Liverpool were shade by the talent on this side, who thor oughly impressed with the strength of the spot position that prices moved up with hardly a noteworthy break throughout the day. Liv- erpool instead of leading became a follower and responded to the American advance by quickly recovering the morning loss and con- tinuing on the up grade until the days record showed net gains of 394 points on the several positions. The local board at the close showed net gains of I8620 points on all months on the current commercial year.

 Ithaca N.-Y., Feb. 1S.-President Schur- man addressed. students of Cornell Uni versity to-day upon the present situa- tion of the typhoid fever epidemic in this city. He said:
 ''The condition of three score sick stu dents is better to-day than it has been for the last ten days. The present situa- ton has been so critical that the aues- ton before the board of trustees is shall Cornell University open next Septem- Der? Shall this faculty be dissolved, not having work to do? But these two prob lems have been successfully solved. The city council last night accepted the Uni versitys offer to build a S150.000 filtration plant for the city water supply. By the first of next September we shall have pure water and an abundance of 1t. We of- fer to pay for all the artesian water the students may supply themselves with at their boarding houses from now until June.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.

T
 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. Iy.-Early Liverpool advices were about expected. consequently our market opened unchanged The latter i'm provement in Liverpool was due to the antci- patton of bullish weekly figures. This and the firmness of spots, coupled to reports of un- favorable weather in the interior occasioned an advance of l6 to 20 points from the bottom. making the net gain l8Q20 points on the day. Providing there are no outport clearances to- morrow the amount to be brought into sight for the week points to about lSo. 900 com pared to 207, 900 last year. The Liverpool weekly statement and the visible supply are both anticipated to be bullish, in other words. all the weekly statistics will probably be in favor of the article and accentuate the strong statistical position already existing, although prices are high, sentiment continues extremely optimistic. The future course of values will be ruled by the demand for spots and receipts.

Tby FTlVdte Leastu W WITe'I
 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. I9.-There was an ad- ditional display of strength in the cotton mar ket today and prices have recorded further advances with a degree of ease that is really surprising. Liverpool continues leaning to- wards one course, the upward direction. and spots maintain their dominating influence over the entire situation. Each succeeding advance seems to develop greater strength, but 1t should not be overlooked that the short interest has been almost completely eliminated and in case of an adverse turn of prices this fact would be seriously felt in the absence of sup port which would ordinarily come from that source. As long spots are sought for with such eagerness contracts will resist any ar tifcial pressure, but the danger lies in the possibility of excessive speculation on the up grade. and the chance of the level of price restricting the demand for actual cotton. Re- garding the latter feature, however, the reports of trade furnished no immediate cause for dis couraRement.

THIRTEENTH READY FOR CAMP.
COmmantiant Rodgers Holds Private and
Col. Aust en- oh jects.

The preparations for the departure Of
the Thirteenth Regiment Heavy Artillery
for Plum Island next Friday night have
been completed, and from the statements
made yesterday by the various company
commanders Col. Austen will take nearly
$50 to the camp. Several carloads Of bag
gage have been shipped to the camp, and
to-day Capt. Kirby, the regimental quarter
master, will go ahead with detail Of fifteen
men.
Tho regiment will assemble in the Sum-
ner avenue armoryat 1890 o 'clockto- morrow
night, march to the Long Island Railroad
and board a special train of thirty cars.
The regiment goes to Plum Island under
Government auspices, and transportation,
ratons and ammunition will be furnished
by the Federal authorities. A controversy
between Col Austen and Rear Admiral
Rodgers, Commandment Of the navy yard,
has occurred over the refusal Of the latter
to allow D. II. Robey, a clerk in the general
storekeeper's department and n member
of the Thirteenth, to accompany The reg-
ment 10 the camp. Robey made appica-
ton to Rear Admiral Rodgers some time
ago for permission, but il was refused on
the ground that he was not entitled to any
leave and that owing to the large amount
of work on hand it was impossible to spare
him.
Col Austen has made an appeal to the
Secretary of War on Robey's behalf.

MILLER WOULD AID CREDITORS
Said So In an Examination in Brooklyn
Yesterday

William f. Miller, who ran the Franklin
Syndicate of $40 per cent. notoriety, APP
peared for examination yesterday before
Referee Tilney in the bankruptcy pro-
oeedings on behalf of the creditors In Brook
lyn. Miller said that he desired to help
the duped people to get the money they had
put into his concern. He said that when the
syndicate's bottom dropped out there was
$45O0 900 cash on hand, and that after the
final break he had in his possession $1si 900,
which he turned over to Lawyer Robert A.
Ammon.
Lawyer T. f. Hodgskin who conducted
the examination for the creditors, asked
Miller if it were true that he had SIZE, 900
of syndicate money on deposit in Man
haitian. Miller replied there was no such
deposit. He said that $4,000 would easily
cover all the expense he had incurred and
he knew nothing about the SIZE, 900, except
that it might be in the money Schlessinger
had. To another question as to the truth
of his statement as a whole, Miller replied:
Il want to say that / am willing at any
time to do all in my power to assist the
creditors in recovering their money. /
do not know the total amount OF money
received by the Franklin Syndicate. There
was si5OO00 left at the time of the crash
| was to get two-thirds, Schlessinger one
third. Schlessinger got s25,0O0 from Bos-
ton, but in the excitement Of the crash |
forgot all about II and he got away with it."
1t was remarked during Miller's ex-
animation that he did not look like man
consumption. His presence was due to a
writ Of habeas corpus issued by Judge
Thomas and he was returned TO the Tombs
In custody Of Deputy Marshal Evers.

attentions to the plaintiff and wrote her

and addressed her in afectionate terms ana
gave certain time and attention TO her. He

of money spent by pantin, or the purposes
of such expenditures, and ne denies each
and every other allegation contained in the
paragraph of said complaint designated
Third"
In reply to another paragraph in the
complaint he makes this statement:
He ,Brokawl denies he has any knowledge
or information sufficient 10 form belief
as 10 whether plaintiff katherine Poillonl
WIS or is ready and willing to marry defend
1908, or at any other time he had any conversa-
sation with plaintiff in respect to marriage
between plaintiff and defendant or made
any statement to her in respect thereto.
Mr. Brokaw finally asks that the suit be
dismissed
