Look for Higher Prices in Very Near
Future.

New York, Jan. 23.-Although Liver
pool declined sharply this morning on
spot selling for account of Manches-
ter brokers, our market did not re-
spond to any extent, and notwith-
standing heavy realizing orders
throughout the short session, we have
closed at higher figures than last
night. We have just completed our
investigation as to the amount of cot
ton held throughout-9,7 $50. 900 bales
maximum, this crops growth. Our
previous estimate made up on Nov. 4
was 1876, 900 bales. With these fig
ures before us, and the strength of
the dry goods market we can only
continue to advise buying cotton as we
look for very much higher prices in
the near future, and an absolute cot
ton famine before the next crop be-
comes available.

Pendleton, Ore, Aung. 6.-Within

head of horses have been stolen from
the vicinity of Pendleton, two of them
having been united from a nitching
rack in that city and ridden out of
town. Jack" Sparks and Earl Rock
well, Birch creek farmers, tied their
horses to a rack on Main street and
went to the court house on business
When they returned their horses, sad
dies, schapps, spurs and overcoats
were gone. Search resulted in finding
no trace, and at least they decided
that it was a case of theft, and three
days after notified the authorities of
the occurrance.
A few evenings later their horses,
returned home from the direction of
Pilot Rock, minus saddles, brides
and all other accoutrements, and also
showing signs of hard riding. The
thieves evidently rode the horses away
to get the saddles. No clew mas been
found.

Springs country, northwest of Pendle.
ton, has lost 22 head, which he trailed
by clever detective work through
Crook country, across the Cascade
range and into the Willamette valley, |
where they were sold to farmers near
Hubbard. The thieves left little clew
behind them, but officers are now
securing the county for some evidence
that will prove their identity. John
Thorn, a farmer of the Holdman dis.
trict, lost two good horses this week
and 1t is believed they were stolen.

Money Very Slow.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-Chicago bank
ers complain that the packing-house
strike is having a most serious effect
on the local money market, Millions
of dollars that under normal condi
tions of business would be used in
Chicago banks and threaten to depress
interest rates.
The packers are very heavy borrow.
.ers under normal conditions not alone
in Chicago, but all over the world.
They carry loans and notes amounting
in the aggregate to nearly 100000
600. OF this sum about S40,000,000 is
carried by Chicago banks, and since
the beginning of the strike business
has contracted so mucn that instead
of borrowing, the packers are paying
off loans and taking up notes.
A prominent local banker estimates
that the packing companies had paid
off $1,OOOO0O of their loans in Chicago
since the beginning of the strike. and
that they were beginning to retire
their obligations at the rate of $4,000
600 a week.
