COTTON MARKET
 IN NARROW RUT Following the Call Prices Ruled
 Rather Irregular. CLOSED 3 POINTS LOWER Bulls Made Bold Stand to Hold Up the Level of Prices, But Weakness
 Was Apparent Through,
 out the Session.
CLOSED 3 POINTS LOWER

New York March 25.-The cotton mar ket opened quiet at unchanged prices to an advance of three points and following the call ruled rather irregular, but mar row and quiet. The opening improve ment was chiefly due to the strengthen ing of the statistical position. as indi- cated by the recent heavy export move ment which encouraged renewed pur- chases for both account But after the initial gain prices worked downward few points under the heavier estimated ble accounts from the New England mill situation, these factors in connection with the good weather in the south, news of crop preparations and indiffer- ent cables proving more potent factors than the small estimates for tomorrow's receipts at Houston, which were est- mated from 900 to 1000 as compared with bulls again came to the support of val ues and the market recovered to about the opening figures, and for a time dis played considerable stubborn strength around that level with the bull leaders apparently concerned In an effort to maintain prices. Speculation continued very quiet, however and there was lit- tie outside demand so that prices grad ually slipped away with new crop months showing the greatest weakness. The ex- ports for the day were full, amounting to ,26l bales, bringing the total thus far for the season up to 5,7262H bales or 195, BPS bales over those for the same per iod last year and this checked aggressive selling so that the losses were small and the market finally steady net unchanged to three points lower, this being the low points of the day for the late months and within two points of the lowest on May and July. Total sales, 100000 bales.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Cotton prices are steady, and the mar ket, as far as local spot is concerned, will remain quiet until the rush of next fall begins. few bales were brought to town yesterday by the farmers. It was the first spot seen in Birmingham for some time. As the farmers were asking lOc for the staple 1t is probable that they had difficulty in disposing of it.
 Stocks and bonds continue steady. with the market devoid of features.
 In fruit and produce prices are un- changed. A large shipment of Italian lemons came in yesterday and are finding a ready sale Bananas also continue to arrive in large quantities. The fruit is green, and consequently Is in good con dition Oranges are very scarce.
 Fresh eggs were plentiful yesterday A large shipment has recently come in and the demand Is active. Poultry Is un- changed and rather scarce just at pres- ent.
 Spring vegetables are hard to find In the first place. it is rather early in the season, and what truck has arrived from Florida is now sold out. Cabbage is also scarce at present although large ship ments are constantly coming in
 Staple groceries are steady and un- changed.
 Hides and wool are firm.

gaxter G co,s Cotton ,tt.r.

Cotton opened points higher today. Good cables led to fair amount of buy ing. Prices were unsettled later on less favorable news as the Lowell strike and business was on a small scale. The wealth CT in the south was again good. in fact there was an almost complete absence of moisture except an insignificant rainfall at Corpus Christi. The forecast, however, was for more rain in Louisiana and east Texas and this favors the bull side. Noth- ing short of perfect weather everywhere will serve to enable people to form a de- cided opinien as to the question of move- ment and the better weather must con- tinue for a period of several weeks be- fore the bears will be convinced that there Is not a world Of cotton awaiting ship ment.
 These alternating days of good and bad weather only tend to befog the public and give bears an opportunity for unsettling confidence. The best opinion Is that re-

MISSING MAN IS
 ACCOUNTED FOR
PATRICK HOUSTON OF GLOBE IS
 IN SONORA.
Was Formerly President of Globe Miners Union No. 60-Was Sent to Lesislature-Was Presumed Dead.

For the benefit of those who sin cerely deplore the fate of the late Pat Houston of Globe. we desire to state on authority which will be fur nisheG on demand, that MT. Hous- ton is no longer Mir Houston, and his mangled remains do not grace the bottom of a prospect hole, and his former friends need no longer shed tears by the barrel, as he was, about two weeks ago, living in the town of Colorado, in the State of Sonora, Mex ico, about 43 miles southeast of Her. mosillo. and was going by the name of Frank McCloud. The Knights of Pythias and the Miners Union of Globe offered rewards to ascertain his fate. and cid so in all sincerity, and the reward, if We are not misin- formed. is still standing. Now, we having found him, therefore claim those rewards with interest.
 Houston was once president of Globe Miners Union No 60, W. F. of NJ. and was highly regarded. He was sent to the legislature and received home with honors on his return. A few months later he borrowed a horse from an old friend near Troy, and started, ostensibly, to Globe. Since that a vast amount of well intended, but unnecessary gush, has been squandered over him and his suppos- ed fate, the presumption .being that he was killed for his money.
 So this clears up one more mystery.

CACTUS CLUB HOP.
informal Dance at the Opera House
 Last Night a Pleasant Affair.

The first social hop of the season. given by the Cactus Club. occurred last evening at the Bisbee Opera House, and if the affair last night is a forerunner of social events in the future to be given by the Cactus Club the younger set can look forward to many pleasants occasions this winter.
 The dance last night was an entire y impromptu affair. Only three days notice had been served on the mem bers, but the Opera House was com fortably filled, and all present were unanimous in voting the first effort, this season, of the Cactus Club. a grand success.
 The floor last evening was in spIen- did condition, and the music furnish ed by Sullivan's Orchestra was well suited for the lovers of the waltz and two-step. which followed each other in quick succession. The hop last evening may be said, without any ex- aggeration, to be one of the most pleasant social events in the history of the Cactus Club. It is to be hop ed that the young men will see fit to follow the last with another, and that the time will be short between them.
