New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 17.-But little ani- nation was displayed in the spot cotton market today. Continued murky weather and unfavorable cables were partly re- sponsible for the abatement in the move ment. Sales up to noon closing 2200 bales, including 300 to arrive. Quotations un- changed. The market for contracts was more active. At the outset prices were m to points. Extensive realizing of small profits at that level caused the market to break to points, but sec ond quick reaction set in and values worked up again to better than a recov- cry for the temporary losses. After nu- merous rather wide fluctuations, the mar ket took another slight upward turn which left prices at the close to points higher than yesterdays closing figures.

 GROCERIES SUNDAY
JUDGE FEAGiN DELIVERS LEG. TURF ON TENDENCY OF HAL. FANS TO VIOLATE SUNDAY LAW. BURGLARY CASES SENT ON.

Judge Feagin had several important important cases in his court yesterday. He bound two negroes over to the grand jury on charges of burglary and grand larceny, and fined several heavily
 Henry Gray, a negro, was bound over to the criminal court on a charge of bur glary and grand larceny. His bond was set at $500 and in default of that amount he was sent to the county jail
 Lee Bush, another negro, was sent to the county jail under the same conditions, He was accused of stealing a screw plate, a brass arrangement, from J. J. osborn. The value of the plate was about SEQ.

 The judge said that these Italians have little grocery stores in the outskirts of the city and that they would sell goods all day Sunday taking the risk of not being caught by the policemen.

EVIDENCE IN JOHN BIBB TRIAL
 TO BE FINISHED THIS MORNING
RAILROAD MAN TELLS OF
 SOUTH'S GREAT PROGRESS
GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT s. H. HARDWICK OF THE SOUTHERN RY. co. TALKS ELooUENTLY OF SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT.

s. H. Hardwick of Washington, general passenger agent of the ;outhe.l Railway, and c. A. Benscoter of Chattanooga, as- sistant general passenger agent of the same line, spent yesterday in Birming- ham.
 MT Benscoter visits this city frequently but MT. Hardwick has notbeen here before for some time. The latter gentleman was in charge of the passenger department of the Georgia Pacific, with headquar- ters in Birmingham at the time that line was merged into the Southern about eleven years ago, and he has host Of friends In the district who always give him a hearty greeting when he comes this way.
 Birmingham was a pretty live town when I was located here" said MT. Hard wick, .but it has grown wonderfully since then. It was seen from the start that this city had a great future and it is easily living up to all the predictions that were made for it."
 Southern Thrift.
 Mir. Hardwlck has been making a tour 
 and he finds thrift in evidence everywhere.
 "The development of the south has been steady and solid within the past fif- teen years," remarked Mir Hardwiek. "and never was there such business pros perity as now. remember when the people had money only once a year. and that was when the farmers. sold their cot ton, but it is not that way now. We still have the cotton, and in aditlon we have a great variety of resources, agricultural and industrial that keep money in circu- lation all the time.
 Population Fast Increasing.
 "One does not have to look at census figures to learn that the population of the south is increasing fast A glance out of a car window will satisfy any one that the southern section is filling up with people, The contrast between now and even five years ago is very marked, and new corners will continue to arrive"
 'All this development shows in the pas- senger receipts of southern lines. When times are good the passenger business is good, and this has been a particularly satisfactory season from my point of view. Receipts this month from holiday travel will easily break the record"
 Brisk Florida Trade.
 Florida travel from the west started earlier this winter than usual, and it is heavier than ever before. The travel from the north will begin early fin Janu- arv and if promises to be very brisk It is safe to say that the Florida travel this season will be unprecedented"
 Mir. Hardwick left Birmingham for Cincinnati where he goes to attend a meeting of passenger men representing Florida lines.

How It Looks.
MT. Molton's Recollection.

My recollection is that MT. Drennen appeared before the commission two or three times in behalf of Burkhalter, Donelson and Pennington. l am sure, however, he did not suggest or attempt any unusual method or means in trying to procure these contracts. He was too well acquainted with the personnel of the commission to have thought for one moment that they could be influenced by any unfair or dishonorable means.
 "As to what services he was to render to secure, directly or indirectly, these con tracts and earn $10,0O0 l leave the contrac tors to answer I also leave 10 them to say whether or not they bought e gold brick "

Honorable Men.

'"The commission is composed of as hon. orabe men as l ever knew and any re- flection that their decision in regard to the awarding of the contracts was unduly in- fluenced is, of course absolutely without foundation and false. I do not know, nor have I heard of an instance, where any member of the commission was approach ed in any manner, shape or form regard ing the awarding of the contract"
 Commissioners James J. Smith and E. J. Smyer were also seen yesterday and asked for expressions. They preferred not to be quoted on the subject.

had that the marriage had taken place.
Mrs. Rulley said last night
''lt was big surprise to us, but there
