SIXTEEN IN SIGHT
Cotton Shows Not a Weak
Spot.
Some Predict That Cotton Will Go to
twenty-five Gents and Rookie
Teller is Said to be Be-
hind SuiIy.

By another forward movement yester,
day cotton pushed it's nose closer to the
sixteen cent goal.
The advance yesterday On the spot mar
ket was again an eighth. 1t carried the
market from 151a cents to 1875 cents,
with prospects.
There was sold here yesterday 81 bales
at prices ranging from 1914 cents to 1875
cents pound. A year ago, with cotton
selling at from 8 to 3-16 cents, there
were q bales on the market.
The future market, as well as the spot
market, is advancing, and the cotton
firms that have done much bear talk are
now about out of heart and are saying
that almost any figure will be reached, as
the bull operators talk of 16 cents II
cents, 20 cents cotton with great conf
dence.
What the final outcome will be no man
can say. 1t is certain that the market is
strong and that the undertone is steady,
with an uneXpressionable feeling that by
SLOW and gradual advance cotton is
going forward in price.
There has been no inclination for days
of a downward trend in cotton, but the
advance keeps folks guessing, and these
guesSes over the country put cotton at
anywhere from il to 70 cents a pound.
1t does not seem possible that in the
months Of the present season yet remain
ing that cotton can reach the latter fig
ure, though it may be that it will get
clncp n hxy
There is a report afloat that the bull
faction has found a powerful ally, and
this in the standard oil kings. 1t is said
ii some newspapers that Sully, the lead
er Of the bull cotton forces, has interest
ed the Rockefellers, and that they are
assisting him in the cotton market, Civ
ing him all The financial aid ever thought
of in making the market stiff one.
The spot market, as has been before
said, seems to control, and this will be so
as long as the mills must have cotton to
keep going. It is understood from reports
published that the average supplies for
the mills noy in hand will only carry them
to the middle of May, and II is about
that time that sharp advance is ex-
pected, though an earlies one is expected
next week when the government ginners
report will be issued This is expected to
lower the crop figures.
Here are some figures of interest,
showing that cotton spinners have been
up against figures a great deal higher
than the present figures, and showing al
so that 10 cents is really a minimum
price for cotton, as prior to 1890 only
one year of the previous forty that the
price had gone lower than 10 cents.
Between 1890 and 1900 the price never
reached 10 cents, and in one yeal it fell
down cents, much of the crop being
sold at cents a pounw The table an
nexed shows that cotton at 5, 6, Z and 8
cents is the exception and not the rule.
The table average for the past fifty
years is as follows:

pulled a handkerchief from MS POCKET
and appeared to wipe his face and IL -
sufmised that under cover Of this he took
the fatal dose.
At the post norton examination
Wright's features showed no trace Of the
suffering he must have endured prior
to death. His face was calm and peace
full. His brain was found to have beer
abnormally large and as the examination
proceeded the doctors found evidences q
cyandine of potassium which confirmed
their previous impression OF the cause OF
death.
Portions Of the deadly tabloids, still ur,
dissolved were found in the stomach,
Wright evidently having swallowed several
Of them. a revolver was found on his
person fully loaded. It was concealed IN
his hip pocket and is an evidence Of E(a
strong determination TO end his life.
