Market Letter,

Especial to the News and Observer
New Orleans, La, Jan. 3.-LivoFpool
advices were disappointing, consequently
our market opened Z points lower and
declined l point additional shortly after
on realizing. Fresh buying, however,
came in late on the expectation of
very bullish census estimate Monday,
causing an advance of to points from
the bottom, making the net loss 8 points
on the day. The light movement and
the change in feeling in regard to the
final yield of the crop, as well as the
anticipation of small estimate to be is
sued by the census on Monday have
been instrumental in occasioning an adj
vance of cent. pound from the bottom
While there is still great difference
existing as to the probable yield, the
face of returns now point to crop
slightly in excess of last years. For
the sake of argument assuming that the
crop is slightly in excess of last year
when values reached cents cotton is
not cheap, and therefore we suggest that
our friends operate conservatively from
now on, because if receipts increase the
chances are values cannot be maintained
Referring to the census estimate to be
issued Monday, it is we'll known that
large purchases have been made on the
probability of a report pointing to a
crop of about 100000. 1t is presumed
it will corroborate the returns made to
that department on October 18TH last
which indicated a crop then Of about TO-
100, 900 last year, the census estimate or
the crop on April 1st was 100000, and
the actual outturn was 1861 600, OF
nearly 10, 900 in excess of their estimate
Irrespective of these facts sentiment is
extremely bullish, and any favorable

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 3.-The cotton market
opened less active at unchanged prices
to decline of points under liquidation
due to disappointing cables and indica-
tions of larger receipts despite unfavor-
able weather A phase of the general
situation attracting most attention here
IL the largest absorption of cotton as ex-
amp|ed again during the past week by
the increase in the worlds visible sup
ply of American of $4,000 which with the
amount brought in sight would appear
to show that the worlds spinners took,
but of the visible supply about 247,000
bales. This contrast has led to a steady
investment demand, the total visible sup
ply of same kinds of cotton having shown
an increase for the seven days of the
cotton week of $4,000 bales, against an
increase for the corresponding week last
season of 251 900 bales. There was, how
ever, active selling for short account this
morning on the ground that the market had
an advance of nearly 1 cent and should
react. After the opening call the mar
ket was variable and weaker for a time
and then returned to about the closing
figures of the previous day on demand
from outside sources. The market for
futures closed barely steady with prices
net 3 to z points lower

WANTED TO SUICIDE

Taxi Fujikama, wife OF the japanese
cook at the Quarantine station was
yesterday afternoon brought to the po-
lice station, suffering from an acute
form OF insanity. The woman had
given the police a good deal of trouble
by her rawlings and carrying on. This
morning at about $50 o'clock. she
tried to commit suicide by hanging in
her cell but the watcbfulness of Turn
key Melanphy prevented her from car
raging out her insane scheme.
The turnkey found the woman in the
act OF hanging herself to the bars in
her cell wondow, which faces the cor
ridor in the station house lookup. She
had twisted her hair around her neck
and was tying the end Of IL to the bars
when Melanphy discovered her and
stopped her. A little later the woman
again tried to hang herself BY the aid
OF her handkerchief, which she had
torn into strips. Melanphy was, how
ever. on his guard against such and
occurrence and again stopped her from
carrying out her plan.
The woman, who is a gray.haired.
old person. seems TO be very cheerful.
She chats necessarily and smiles and
gesticulates vigorously 1t seems that
her fits of dependency and passion
come suddenly on her. For instance,
this morning while she was talking TO
q small Porto Rican girl. who is locked
up awaiting the trial Of a certain case,
she suddenly fell Oh the girl and beat
her numerically until stopped by the
turnkey. When prevented from hang
ing herself, the woman told the turu-
key that she wanted to die.
The woman was examined this morn
ing by Or. ~ Emerson and later on by
japanese physician, who had a con-
versation with the woman which
showed that she was hopelessly insane.
She was committed to the insane
asylum this noon

San Francisco this morning with a
cargo of general merchandise. The
Helene made the passage In % days.
during which time equinoctial gales
were encountered for few days. The
rest Of the voyage was very pleasant,

the crew managed to caulk five seams
on the side of the vessel during the
voyage.
During the trip, about twelve days
ago. Captain Christianson, the master
~ the Helene. narrowly escaped SER
. ious injury from a fall.
On that day the oil carrying ship
! Marion Chilcott had been sighted and
lost sight Of again. In the evening
the mate picked the Chilcott up again
and called the captain up on the after
( house to see her. Captain Christensen
went up on the house, but as he could
not distinguish the Chllcott's lights
very clearly he started below to get
: his glass. AS the night was dark and
the captain had just come from the
/ lighted cabin he missed the stairway
leading from the house to the main
deck and fell. In his fall he struck
a large iron tank which stands near
the house, but luckily managed to re-
cover himself little. The impact of

 PARIS, Oct 12. Because of the prospect that it may have political re- suits as important as those which at tended the courtesies personally ex- changed by President Loubet and King Edward, France is awaiting with ea- gerness the approaching visit of the king and queen of Italy, who, accom- panied by the Italian foreign minister and other distinguished Italian off, cials, will cross the French frontier Wednesday morning.
 The first official reception to their majesties will be given at Dion, and from the frontier until they reach Par is King Victor Emmanuel and his con- sort will see decorations, including the i11twined arms of France and Italy, which the enthusiastic French peas ants have raised at almost every sta- ion.
 On arriving in Paris their majesties will be received at the Bois de Bou- logne railway station by President and Mime. Loubet, the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, the ministers of state and other high off cials of the republic French soldiers will surround the station and stretch in two long lines from the station along the flag bedecked Avenue du B6is de Boulogne through the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees to the Place de la Concorde, where bat. tery will add its thunder to the official welcome. < Between the lines of troops the 1tal- ian rulers, accompanied by the French president and Mime. Loubet, will drive to the palace of the ministry of foreign affairs, where they will be lodged dur ing their stay. The apartments have been exquisitely furnished, and the king will sleep in the bed used by Ma poleon. Many souvenirs of Marie An. toinette beautify Queen Helena's bou- doir.
