NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Oct. s.-wIth conditions
cotton market opened shade higher.
The first consideration was better
cables than expected. The tone of
these advices showed the Improvement
to be due to continued favorable Con
tinental demands. The weather map in
dicates a drop in temperature. The
movement at Southern points was
smaller than of late. Support came
after the call, but in lessened volume,
so that prices receded a little from the
opening level, without showing weak
ness. The announcement of the fa1ure
OF W. Turner. jr.. & Co. of Liverpool,
had no effect on the local market.

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

The extreme weakness in Amalga-
mated Copper Company today drew
traders away from the rest Of the mar
ket and had a depressing effect on those
inclined to the bull side. The bears
have succeeded more than expected In
their attack on Copper, and the general
list was unsettled in consequence.
What seemed to be the most favorable
feature of todays financial situation is
the slightly easier conditions in the time
money market. Time loans to carry over
into the new year were made at 5ls on
a 25 per cent margin of dividend paying
stocks. The general rate last week was
per cent. with such loans scarce and
difficult to negotiate.
Suspense over the Steel dividend aues-
tion having been settled. the financial
and commercial world has found some
thing new to worry over in the report
that the Amalgamated Copper Company
will soon pass its dividend on common
The directors meet next week, and will
take action on the situation.
The banks have so far gained over
81 100000 from the subtreasury, and ii
consequence Saturdays bank statement
ought to make a favorable exhibit Az
encouraging feature is the gradual in
crease in the demands for bonds. Thi:
indicates investors are regaining conf
dence. The demand at present is small
Confidence is a slow growth.

ever. the outlook does not indicate
fresh outbreak of heavy selling or
serious decline from the present level
The speculative situation is pretty wei
evened. and a narrow but good trading
market is expected.
The Washington times., 1903-10-08

Reaction in the iron trade, labor trou-
bles, and bear talk on Amalgamated Cop
per are the arguments advanced in favor
Of lower prices. In addition to this the
belief prevails that Standard Oil inter
ests wish lower level, and viii operate
toward that end. The question will be
left to the bulls and bears to settle
among themselves.

ment and improvements. and may soon
decide on similar action.
While the Bank of England discount
rate remains unchanged, It's proportion
of reserve is down to 42.S9 per cent,
against 1928 last week. and 4s.3s a year
ago. The bank has lost 80 500, 900 in gold
during the week.
President Ramsey. of the Wabash
Railroad, says plans are under consider
alton TO combine the Eastern lines
bought within the last few years in the
interest of the Goulds. Eventually these
properties will probably be leased to the
Wabash system.
Gross earnings of the New York Cen
tral for the month of September show
an increase of $354.572 over 1902, an
amount considerably in excess of a
previously published unofficial estimate
of the company's earnings for the
month.
The heaps of cotton bills in the ex-
change dealers tills are most unusual

the same time the domestic money mar
ket is working easier. although bank
ers still speak in cautionary terms.
The reduction in the steel trust COM
mon stock dividend naturally strength
ems the position of the preferred. and
| If the common is taken out of the dIvi-
dend class next year the preferred
ought to sell twenty points at least
above the current level. 1t is worth
noting that If the corporation had not
placed its common stock on a dividend
tasis two years ago it would never
thave been forced TO raise $50. 900, 900 il
bonds for improvements, working capt.
/ tai. etc.
The facts disclosed in regard TO the
iron trade by the action Of the Steel
Corporation overshadows the dividend
question in Importance. as a universal
factor obscures the operation of a spe-
cific influence. 1t would seem that IL

independents II the inference is un-
warranted It follows that the trus

Locators Skurry to Get Aban-
do1ed Claims in Different
Wyoming Districts.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Jan. "A telephone
message from Lander states that on
New Years eve there was a rush to
the Popoagie oil fields, where hun
dreds of oil claims would be jumped,
original locators having failed to make
the necessary improvements during the
year, as required by law The rush
was not so exciting as that of a year
ago, for almost all of the more vaIu-
able claims have been patented, but
few choice locations were secured.
No clash of any kind has been re-
ported, and it is believed none oc-
Cured there. Some juming of claims
is reported from the Salt creek oil
fields, northwest of Casper, but in most
cases the land had been abandoned bv
the original locators, and there was no
conflict over relocation There was
probably no trouble in the Bonanza
oil fields. in Big Horn county. for the
nelds were recently located, and To-
Gators have until the end OF the pres
ent year to do assessment work.

TERRITORLESMAIB BE MFRGEDT MRS TINGLE
Takes the Stand in Libel Suit
and Contradicts the
Charges.

San Diego. Cal, Jan. Mrs. Gather
Inc A. Tingley was placed upon the
stand as her own witness in rebutting
the testimony of the defendant in the
trial of her action for libel against the
Los Angeles Times. All of the princi-
pal charges made against her and the
Point Iona institution of which she is
the official head were read to her and
she denied them verbatim. She made
a cool, deliberate witness and in an
'svseriRg the many details that were
evolved from the questions, took most
OF the afternoon. She had a ready ex-
PLANTATION for such Of the charges and
differences that she did not repudiate.
She stated with much emphasis that
she had not withheld food from chill
dren as was related in the deposition of
DR.. Anderson of San Francisco, but on
the other hand said it was one of her
theories of child rearing that the in
fants should be fed every half hour
She fatty denied what the deponent,
Louis Fitch Of Hartford Conn.,, had
testified to in alleging that she had
stated that life upon Point Iona would
evolve a state which would make the
marriage relation unnecessary
An incident of the day was the re-
tusal of the trial judge to permit the
jury to go to Point Iona to view the
institution. although it was strongly
urged by Mrs. Tingley's counsel.

Reclaim 27O, 900 Acres of
Land in Idaho.
(sneelaI % ~ HeraldA

Boise, Ida, Jan. 1.-The state land
board signed contract today with the
Twin Falls Land & Water company for
the reclamation of 270,009 acres of land
in Lincoln and Cassia counties under
rne Carey act. 1t is the largest irri-
cation scheme ever undertaken in the

hackers. The estimated cost is s., 000,
COO. The land Will be sold with water
rights TO settlers at $3.50 per acre.
The closing of the contract with the
state land board of Idaho, as outlined
in the above special dispatch. clinches
the deal made with Mr.. Bull in this
city during the latter part of NOvem-
Der, and there is no longer a doubt that
work upon the great canals and dams
in the Snake river Will now be pushed
to the earliest completion. 1t means,
also, that a great power plant will be
built. a railroad constructed and two
cities-Milner and Twin Falls-will not
be long in asserting their Importance

The situation is not so bad in South
Australia, though the crop there is less
than last year About $1,000 tons of
California -four are afioat for New
