New Orleans cotton Market.

New Orleans. January 2.-There was
decided Improvement today in the senti-
ment prevailing in the market for spot
cotton. Liverpoors sharp bulge OF S-1ood
on spots and STOOD to 10-l00d on contracts
operated as a stim1lant to the trade, and
bi,vinr orders, both from mills and ex-
porterss, showed a marked increase in
number and volume. Prices naturally
were moved sharply to a higher level.
Factors as a rule asked an advance OF
3-1g over Wednesdays closing level. Inc
sales were 1870 bales, including 200 TO
arrive and 500 I. o. b. expected quota
lions were 3-16 higher.
The market for cotton contracts opened
today with a whirl and during the morn
Ing hours business was carried on upon
a heavy scale, the March position receiv-
ing the greater share Of attention from
operators. Liverpool set the trade by the
ears by coming in at a big advance over
Wednesdays figures and the long ele-
ment on this side took full advantage
of the opportunity to boost values. On
the first call prices were up IL to Is
points and at that level trading was very
heavy much Of it In the nature of buying
to stop loss by the weather element
among the bears. After the early adj
vance the market was held down for
time by realizing sales; an upward move
ment followed, and after slight f1uctua-
lions the board at the close showed net
gains of % to rs points compared with
Wednesdays closing prices.

members of the union tomorrow at the
meeting hall and will make an Official
report. lie says there are about
twelve union men employed on the
Mound City plant and that the total
force will number no more than thir-
ty-fye. The trouble in instituting n
strike lies IN the fact that there is
more non.union than union labor and
the men feur that strike would no t
be successful. A meeting was held
with the union ship carpenters, who
ell favor making the demands mate
here.
Demands haze heen made here on
Capt. Dan Finnsy, who has his boat,

This is the Estimate of a Men,
Der Of Carnival Committee.
The Festival Has Been . Great Finan-
cial Success, Despite
the Rain.
LIVELY NIGHT PROMISED

This is the last day of Paducah's
third annual carnival. and everybody
seems to have enjoyed 1t. Broadway
has been the mid way this time, and it
has been thronged with people day
and night. Last night Broadway was
still q lively thoroughfare after mid
night.
The financial success of the carnival
is something in which thousands of
people in Paducah are interested. 1t
was stated today by enc of the execu-
tive committee that he believed that
with MS good a crowd tonight as lsst
night and the one preceding, he was
willing to lay a wager that the asso-
citation would clear 5000.
The free street fair this year was an
experiment. but it has demonstrated
conclusively that Paducah is one of
the, best carnival towns in the coun-
try. There is no other place known
to carnival people, according to ex-
perienced showmen, where the people
turn out as they do here.
The patronage of the various sttrac-
tions has been good. II has been
greater, it is said, with the exception
of the two nights it rained, than on
the same nights Of previous carnivals.
The executive committee sought to
give the public only good, clean
shows, and has done it. The carnival
attractions are as good as those furn-
ished by any carnival company in ex-
istence, and they have been literally
patronized The Ferari Brothers are
we'll pleased with the patronage, and
Paducah would have broken all rec
ords but for the two nights it rained.
Among the big money-makers are
the country store, the kangaroo court
and the German village. The people
asve enjoyed all three. and the man
ayers are to be congratulated on the
success of their efforts.
The numbers drawn for the bicycle
last night were, first, 1901, which is
the lucky number il presented. The
two others are S605 and 9162.
There are now fifteen of the best of
the combination prizes that must be
drawn by closing time tonight. There
are in addition 10 special prizes, and
every ticket draws something.
This evening, after the buggy and
the capital prize for today have been
drawn, the remainder of the stock will
be ratified off, and a lively time is an
ticipated. Everything must go. The
country store this year has already
Melted something like $1,000, slightly
under the proceeds of last year be-
cause of the bad weather and the fact
that the country store was something
new then, and was not such novelty
this year 1t is believed there will be
a rush today, however.
The sutomobile drawing will take
place tonight, probably about mid
night. Tickets have gons rapidly on
it. and it will be a fine prize for some
one.
One expense the carnival association
has ht.d to meet that was not an;ici-
pated is that of ticket takers, who have
to be installed because of the failure
of those appointed for the various at
fractions. failing to show up.
This afternoon shower came up
after O'Clock and caught many peo-
Pile without shelter, but it did not last
long, and it is hoped that tonight will
be favorable for rush.

MACON, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-A PROPOSE
ton from the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Church of Macon to unite with
the congregation Of the First Prespy-
terrain Church was accepted by a unan-
imous vote of the latter church to-day
This Is a consolidation OF the Two
churches In every respect and is per-
manent.
The Rev. r. T. CALDWELL the Cum
berland Presbyterian pastor, and the
Rev. J. D. Murphy, the Presbyterian
minister, each will occupy the pulpit
once on Sunday.
This is said to be the first practical
step toward the union OF the Cumoer'
land Presbyterlans with the mother
church In the United States. Inc
matter, however, has caused consider
able discussion among the leaders Of
both churches for some time and ever
sign points to an early union nation
ally, in which event the consoiidatee
body will be called the P~respyeeiia'
Church Of America.
That has been agreed upon by com
mittees from the two churches M
caldwell and his congregation ma
assurances Of the warmest approval p
leading authorities among the Cum
! berland Presbyterian Church, stat
and nationally, in the local PROPOSE
|, tion for the union.
