VIII Continue Two Weeks Longer.

The bazaar which has been in prog
ress in st. PauPs parish during the
last two weeks will continue a fort
night longer. The storm so interfered
with the work of preparation during
the opening days that little was done
until last week. The attendance has
since been good. The main spire of
the church was illuminated last night
and attracted the attention of the peo-
pie of the Mission. The spiPe is 23O
feet high and may be seen from al
most any part Of the city. The bazaar
promises to be a great success.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
NEW YORK FUTURES
CLOSED AT A GAIN.

New York, Dec. 13-The cotton mar
ket was less active than at any time
since the government report and prices
fiuctuated with a 10 point range. In
a general way the situation seemed a
little steadier and final quotations.
while d little off from the best, showed
a moderate gain for the day.
The opening was quiet but firm, at
unchanged prices. to an advance of
points in response to steadier spot
markets as reflected by private adj
vices from the South, and the Liver
pool cables, which reported sales of
5000 bales at an advance of 4 points,
while futures in the English market
responding to the local decline of the
previous day were about l to points
lower. After the opening here, there
was considerable support believed to
be covering by leading room shorts and
with New Orleans showing Steadiness
and Liverpool reporting a recovery
from the earlier losses, prices gradu-
ally worked up until in the middle of
the morning, they were about 10 to II
points higher on the active months. At
the advance there was realizing by
yesterdays buyers, and during the aft
ernoon the market ruled Irregular fluc-
tuating about 4 to points under the
high point of the morning. Toward
the close, covering by room shorts
steadied prices slightly, and the final
question showed net gains of 7q1O
points
Sales were estimated at 125, 900 bales
The official advices from Southern
spot markets, showing steady but gem
orally unchanged markets in spite of
moderate sales, helped to sustain the
futures market Notwithstanding pri-
vate wires from New Orleans claiming
that factors We're ready to sell, but
there were few buyers.
Receipts ran full but exports were
again fairly liberal and the general
situation appeared to be undergoing
no material change from the conditions
recently reported. The unsettled con-
dition of affairs i'm Wall street is re-
g.arded as a bearish influence in some
quarters, but seems to be chiefly in
strumental in the way of checking BUSH

certain operators who were identified
with the short side for months back
express the opinion that present
prices are low enough, and discount
the movement up to the present time,
which is well known, is only a trifie
over 1000. 900 greater than last year.
Working by the figures alone, ignor-
ing the possibility of eight months of
season remaining. there is nothing to
prove a II, 900, 000-b bale crop as yet, as
we are still running only a 100000
ahead of a 10000, 000-bale crop. OF
course, such an argument carries no
conviction with it, but in the present
dull conditions of affairs, one argu-
ment is as good as another. There is
nothing to be gained. however, by de-
ceiving ourselves and it is better to
know the worst and find room for inn
provement later on. According to Hes
ter, the amount in sight on Dec. was
COL, AIS bales If the crop is to be H.
900 900, this would represent 81 per
cent. of total and it is a matter of
record that only four times within
the past fifteen years has such a large
proportion of crop peen marketed be-
fore Dec 1. If the mills are ready
to pay an advance, there could be no
better foundation for an improvement,
but unless demand for spots is gem
eral and continuous, it is likely that
advance in the future market will be
followed by quick relapses. The first
trading in the new crop of 1906 was
made to-day when October sold at
1850, or at the same price as was then
ruling for May of the present season.

Garbutt and Goddard Case Decided.

Brunswick, Ca, Dec f3.-Judge Max
Isaac has handed down his decision
in the case of w. NJ. Virgins against
Garbutt and Goddard, bankrupts in
the bankrupt court overruling the OBJ
jections filed by Virgins to the appli-
cation of the trustee for permission
to sell the assets of the estate.
The controversy arose out of the
sale by Virgins to Garbutt and Cod
dard of $1,000 worth of property at
Fendig, in Wayne county, upon which
Garbutt and Goddard had paid about
81, 900 in cash and gave their notes for
the balance and promised to have the
notes Endorsed by indorsers acceptable
to Virgins and after purchasing the
property and running the sawmill
thereon for some time realized that
they could not pay for the property,
because the business was failure,
and therefore did not have the notes
Endorsed as promised.
About six months after they pur-
chased the property Garbutt and God
dard filed their petition in bankruptcy
and the trustee sought to sell the prop
erty. Virgins filed his objection to
the same and asked that the sale
from him to Garbutt and Goddard be
set aside and declared null and void,
because Garbutt and Goddard had fail
ed to comply with their promise to
have the notes Endorsed.

New York, Dec. 13.-"I was a lamb
and I regret to say that for fifteen
days l believed in Mrs. Chadwick, and
was one of her many victims" said
ex-Judge William NJ. X. Olcott of a
law firm of which ex-Gov. Frank S.
Black is a member, to-day. Judge
Olcott said Mrs. Chadwick paid him
$500 for one day in Cleveland.
Mrs. Chadwick. in that slow, i'm
pressive manner of hers, said to Gov.
Black and me: i am very rich wom-
an. bave 100000 in trust fund.
We were naturally impressed. In or
der to make good her statement she
produced Fri Reynolds certificate for
the $5,OOO,OO of securities held by him.
This naturally led us to believe that
the woman spoke the truth
Judge Olcott went to Cleveland to
settle claim against Mrs. Chadwick
for $4,000. He was unable to do any
thing, but Mrs. Chadwick borrowed
$500 from him, which she did not repay
until he demanded 1t on threat of legal
action against her. Judge Olcott con-
Guided: II cannot reveal the secrets
of my client, but I want to say that
she gave me reasons for the inception
of the trust fund which have not yet
been told, which impressed both Gov.
Black and myself, and which am not
at liberty to disclose"

The Remnants of the Crop Housed
This Week.
Jacksonville, Fla. Dec. 1S.-Section
Director A. ]. Mitchell. in his weather
and crop report for the week ended
Dec. II. issued to-day. says:
The remnants of the cotton crop
were housed during the week, and dig
ging sweet potatoes and making syrup
was finished in northern and western
districts. In some parts of the central
district the sweet potato and cane
crops are about gathered, while in
other places they are largely in the
fields. The weather has been favorable
for all work, and farmers seem to
have all crops well in hand. Orange
shipping continues brisk in most dis
tricts. The winter crop of pineap
pies is being shipped rapidly and is of
good quality. Vegetables are beginning
to come into market from the central
district and are being shipped from
the southern district. AS yet the
weather has not been cold enough to
damage anything in the central dis
trict. The vegetable crop is not so
we'll advanced at this time as during
former years, but the prevailing ia
vorable weather enables farmers to
cultivate more intensively. The need Of
rain over detached portions of the
central district continues. The week
closed with fair weather over the
northern and western districts and
with showers indicated over central
and southern portions of the state"

The rosin market opened firm and
unchanged from w. w. to K inclusive,

J. s. BACHE & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to- Hayward,
Wick e. Co.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The present
situation reminds one more strongly
every day of the state of affairs during
last summer, when speculation was
exceedingly bearish and market was
sustained by the steadiness of spot
cotton. Then it was a case of very
little cotton actually on hand, now IT
is a case of unwillingness of interior
holders to accept a lower level and
the apparent willingness of spot buy
ers to take moderately from available
supplies at present prices. The situa-
ton last summer eliminated in adj
vance from 912 to about lie. The pres
ent deadlock will also eliminate in a
substantial one way or the other.
At the moment speculation takes the
ground that with Wall street demoraliz-
ed, the world accepting the govern
ment estimate of the crop as meaning
1000, 900 bales over actual require
ments, the planter is bound to pre-
pare within the next two months for
spring work, the situation favors a
break. There is a considerable element
who combat this view in the matter
of argument, but the market is receiv-
ing very little bull support and de-
Ponds on the covering of shorts who
oversell themselves for it's reactionary
periods. For ourselves, we believe
that the mills of the world would buy
all this crop around or 915c a pound
if they could not get it cheaper and did
not feel certain of the size of the

ANXIETY WAS KEEN.
Wall Street knew Not What the Day
Would Bring Forth.

New York. Dec. 13.-It is no exag-
geration to say that Wall street began
to-day with more anxiety than it has
shown since the May panic of 1901
Reasons for this feeling were plenty,
chief among them being the absolute
collapse of the market at yesterdays
close, revealing weak spots in unlock
editor places.
Attracted by the previous days
events the ga .lery of the Stock Elk
change held a large crowd of onlook-
erS. The floor was crowded with mem
bers, many of them old-timers who
seldom appear there. save on momen-
tous occasions. The subdued noise
which prevailed at the opening broke
into roar at the first sound of the
chairman's gong. The greatest crowds
were again around the Amalgamated
Copper and United States Steel trading
posts, where brokers fairly mauled one
another in their efforts to execute or
ders.
The market was strongly supported.
London traded both ways, but proba-
bly, sold 10000 shares on balance. The
story was told that just before the
opening here $4,000 shares of United
States preferred were dumped on the
being to depress prices here. London
doubtless sold back all this stock at a
profit. One room trader is said to have
bought $4,000 shares of Steel preferred
which he sold at a profit of 112 points
Numerous similar quick turns" were
probably made on a smaller scale.
The recovery conveyed the theory
that the greater part of the liquida-
ton by weak interests has been COM
pleted The buying power, in the
judgment of onIookers was of a bet
ter quality than had been seen since
the beginning of the decline.
Another chill Dervaded the stock
market in the last hour, when Amalga-
mated Copper, after selling up more
than points over hast night, suddenly
relapsed 23s. Support was again forth
coming of the same character as that
which protected the earlier market.
Some sharp rallies resulted, and in a
few cases prices ran up higher than be-
fore.

The trend of cotton prices in all
branches of the trade was upward yes
terday, Liverpool after opening lower,
closed at a very good gains on the
whole list. and the American markets
also showed an improvement at the
close, New York being from to 10
points higher than the day before and
New Orleans, from 8 to points high
er. Liverpool also showed a gain of
4 points on spots though prices in this
department were unchanged at New
York, New Orleans and at Savannah.
In the Savannah spot market prices
were unchanged throughout the day,
though the market, which opened weak
was quoted steady at the close. The
sales were the smallest that have been
reported for any one day in several
weeks, if not for the season, amount
ing to but 81 bales. This may be ex-
planned by the fact that while the port
receipts continue to be fairly large
little of the cotton is destined for To-
cal warehouses. the greater portion of
it being f. o. b. cotton billed straight
through to foreign ports, and such re-
ceipts as do come to the factors are,
in the main sent subject to orders not
to sell at present prices.

New York, Dec. 13.-When traders

January. the previous low figures. But
for some unexpected reason Liverpool
sreadied and finally closed some 5
points higher than last night The re-
covery abroad is doubtless due to less
decentralization in the South, and to
the fact that those who tried to depress
the market have been taking in some

buy moderately at the opening. Be-
fore long prices recovered 10 points.
tone showed some resistance in the
face of efforts to bring about another
break. Receipts are moderate, and
there is nothing yet to indicate the
crop is going to prove as much as the
government says. We can have a big
crop grown and only 11,500,00 would
come into sight. This is the stumbling
block. 1t may cause a gentle unheaVal

goes we would not be short here. When
January breaks 7.50c, then ii will be
