NEW ORLEANS FINALLY
SHOWED SOME WEAKNESS

New Orleans, Sept. 22-In the spot
cotton market the demand was less
urgent than it has been since Mon
day. Factors asked an advance of "A
@Ac and there was some trading at
hc above quotations. Sales $3.50 bales,
including $3.50 to arrive. The Cotton
Exchange Committee made no change
in prices.
Futures opened quiet and prices
were to IA points lower. With a dis
appointing Liverpool market and a
much quieter local spot demand, flu
lures for a time held a wonderfully
strong undertone, and after the first
decline prices were sent well above
yesterdays close. Bullish sentiment
was strong and a good volume of buy
ing orders came from outsiders. Later
in the session scalpers and weak longs
became heavy sellers and drove prices
down 10@15 points below yesterdays
final figures. In the trading October
opened 8 points lower, at 10.5Sc, sold
up TO 10.74c and then gradually down
to 1051c. The market closed weak
with net losses of 13 and 16 points.

BAXTER SCENE OF TROUBLE.

Florida Union: Baxter, where
the troops were ordered and where the
killing occurred Thursday night, is a.
small station on the Atlantic Valdosta
and Western division of the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroad In
one-story house, crudely built, but well
furnished, live the Duncans. To the
south of this house and on the same
side of the railroad track are a, number
of small shacks, which have been
erected and used from time to time
for stores. In one of these stores is
the postoff1ce. This building is owned
by w. M. Duncan, though for the past
two years Hardy Altman, one of the
men under arrest and the elder of the
Altman brothers, has been conducting
a general merchandise business and
the business of Uncle Sam. The rail-
way station is to- the south of the
Duncan residence, while in front of
that residence and across the railroad
track is the home of Charley and Hill
airy Altman. There is but little bust
ness conducted in the town. and Hardy
Altman would be transacting but lit
tie or no business if it were not for
the hands which w. M. Duncan oper-
ates in conducting his turpentine still.
Before this trouble, about the only ex-
element which had been afforded the
town was the arrival and departure of
the trains daily. Aside from that there
has been no life at Baxter. The ne
groes who live there and who are en-
ployed by the Duncans have been ter
rorized frequently, and it has REQUIRED
the persuasion of w. M. Duncan TO re-
tain them. They have been frequently
held up and threatened in the woods
while at work by some of the people
of Baker county, Florida, and Charl-
ton county, Georgia. Mr.. Duncan has
had hard time in retaining employees.

Daily Cotton Letter, TO Hayward.
Wick a. Co.


New York. Sept. 22.-The market
has been active and irregular. Longs
were inclined to take their profits
after the advance of the last two days.
but the bulls continue to support the
market. and there is besides a large
short interest, the covering of which
is no mean element of strength. At
any rate. after opening at a decline
of 5013 points, the market showed eX-
traordinary firmness, and while irreg-
ular has huctuated between last
nights prices. and only a shade below
the opening figures, which. in view of
the recent advance. and the volume
of selling. may be considered a very
firm showing. The news was conflict
ing, cal les showed a reaCtionary ten
dency, which private advices ascribed
to hedge selling, and most cables stat
ed that the market was a purchase on
declines Some Southern reports were
TO the effect that the advance had
checked fresh business. The specula-
tive position seems mixed. 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Sully was engaged i'm
a big bull deal. and had advised spin
ners to buy aggressively. 1t was said
that Mr. Price had issued a circular
advising spinners to hold off, and pre-
dieting a bearish bureau on Oct. 8. Il
Sully buys freely further advances are
probable. I would go cautiously, and
govern scalping operations by daily
developments.

tive and the feeling around the ring
very nervous, owing to the reports
that two of the most important speCu-
lative figures in the market were op-
posing each other.
The trade consequently expected u
see a struggle between these two in
terests at the opening this morning.
There was in fact heavy selling and
very active buying. Prices immediate
ly following the opening were forced
back to nearly last nights level, but
meeting with active liquidation at the
advance and continued bear pressure,
eased off again to about the opening
figures, when brokers believed to rep
resent the bull leader again entered
the ring, and during the middle ses-
sion the market ruled very firm, adj
vancing TO a net gain of about 4G7
points. But in the late trading Wall
street became a much more agrees
sive seller, and with demands pretty
we'll filed the market developed a sag
ging tendency that was gradually ac-
CELEBRATED as room longs sold out, until
at the close prices showed a net de-
cline of from 17d20 points. The sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.

Mrs. William Tarvin. who lives at
Cataula, in Harris county, has in her

200 years old, formerly owned by the
grandmother of Alexander Stephens,
vice president of the Southern Con-

in constant use up to Mrs. Hodos
death. The chest, with the same lock
and key which had always been used
with it, is at the residence of Will

SUES CENTRAL FOR 100000.

Macon Telegraph: w. c. Sheftall,
an ex-conductor on the Central Rail-
road, began suit for libel against this
company in the city court yesterday
for the recovery of $4,000. The case
went into court about IL O'clock and
lasted during the remainder of the
days session. 1t was not concluded
at the close last night and will be
taken up at the opening this morning.
The evidence for the plaintiff was all
in at the end of the days work and
several witnesses for the defendant
company were heard, but the evidence
will continue at the opening this
morning. This suit arose out of a
discharge given the plaintiff. He
claims that the company issued bull
letin shortly after he was given the
discharge which reflected on his char
acter. He was in possession of some
tickets and other property of the road
which are claimed to be the necessa-
ries to the position of conductor and
had not turned in the tickets when
discharged This bulletin is claimed
to have direct reference to the tickets
in the hands of the plaintiff. The
conductor, while on his run from Ma
con to Atlanta, is said to be required
to report any delay in the run. This
conductor is charged by the company
with having failed to meet these re-
quirements,. and state that this is the
cause of the discharge. The evidence
as regards the bulletin is entangled
with forms of railroad printed matter
touching bulletins so that the case
will involve some very close decisions.
General Passenger Agent of the road
J. c. Halle was on the stand for the
company yesterday afternoon as also
was Mr.. Robinson, assistant general
passenger agent. There were many
other prominent witnesses up and
more are to come this morning. The
case has assumed an interesting as
pect, and will likely require the time

CURED yesterday. and under the pres
sure of bear influences the market
closed at opening prices, but weaker in
tone. F. o. B. brokers found little
cotton offering from the interior. and
they were practically at a standstill
during the day.
The same nervousness that was evil
dent in other markets prevailed to a
large extent at the Cotton Exchange.
Sullys estimates were rather bullish,
but there was little evidence of it's eff
feet locally.
The demand of Southern spinners is
steady, and this, as much as any other
cause, is keeping the prices lowering at
10l2c.
After the closing the bull interests
believe that the cool weather blowing
up would strengthen the local market
through the influence of reports to New
York.
Receipts continue heavy, and the
pressure OF exporters to fill September
contraats has been relieved to such an
extent that there is a temporary lull
in the dep1and from this source.

TOT Best interest OF shorts.
New York, Sept. 22.-Perhaps the
most important item of news was the
Sully estimate of 100000 bales for
this years crop. He has been right
for two years. so that the figures are
likely TO attract attention. AS far as
reliability goes, that is another matter.
Frost cut about 100000 the first. Acre
age last year was fully per cent. less
than this year. From general condi-
tions, therefore, the prospect should be
for a crop of 1880 900 to ll250. 900
granting later frosts. Even with frosts
as early as last year, the outlook would
seem to he at least l0.750.000 at the
lowest. We do not quite see where
the figures come in, but they may stir
spinners up. Prices have now advanced
80 points, and this is a good rise. 1t
may be prices VIII advance further,
for the spinners have very little cotton,
but around lie Il is advisable for buy
ers to go slow. We can't feel conf
dent OF the short side at any price
below 1iiac until after the question OF
frosts has been decided. and we have
"a lot more cotton on hand than we
have now. Stocks are too light for
the best interests OF shorts. a little
speculative buying could tie up the
whole market. and not take much
money. either. But for the moment we
advise caution.
