INGRAM IS WORRIED.

Savannah, Ga, March 9.--Manage1 l McGraw was considerably worried last night over the fact that the City of Memphis, due early last evening | with five of his star ball players, had 1 not arrived up to midnight. The men who sailed last Saturday are Mathew son Bowerman, Gilbert, Lynch and
 Minnehan. .Ihe steamship officials say they expect the missing boat early to-day.
 Yesterdays practice was full ot ginger. Besides McGraw those ot the old nine on hand were Warner, Taylor, McGann. McGinnity, Bresna- han. Dunn, Mertes and Browne. The new men are Mccormick, Dorian and Pitcher Milligan.
 The boys put in morning and af- ternoon sessions of two hours each and as a result of strenuous work are feelinr somewhat stiff and sore, but cheerful. McGraw was disappointed in the grounds and before any real practice the holes had to be filled up, consequently yesterdays work was largely confined to Mmbering up, in throwing to bases and similar stunts, but little batting or fielding being at tempted.
 McGraw was in uniform and did about as much work as any of his men. His lame knee bothered him some, but seems stronger than last year and when he gets the new bandage ordered he has hopes that he will be able to take an active part when necessary.
 Besides the men on the delayed steamer there are still to arrive Ames, Dahlen and the two new pitch CTS, Nops and Wiltse.
 Tom Reilly started successful base ball in New Haven some seasons ago and if he gets chance down in the Elm City this season he will make things hum. Many will ask the question why he could not have made a success in Hartford. The reason is simple enough. Hartford has q Ma tional or American league appetite with Connecticut league income.
 If Jack Tighe really wants to trans- fer his team to some other city why not take trip to Waterbury and look over the situation here. He will be given welcome and if he does not find that the conditions are better here than they are in Worcester or in Norwich even though the games were played on the Driving park, we miss our guess.
 We'll, well, well, what's the matter with the Connecticut league anyway? The league that Secretary ORourke was wont to call "the staunchest lit tie league in the country First New Haven wanted to go to Worces- ter then Meriden talked of jumping her team down to New Haven, now Norwich is getting the Worcester bee in her head gear, perhaps Bridgeport may want to jump to some town in Massachusetts before the controversy ends.
 Evidently Malachi Kittredge of Worcester will not join with Jimmy Canavan of New Haven. the west and other places. and Hugh Duffy of Milwaukee, Philadelphia and few more villages, in singing that delight ful operatic trio, "When Malachi Wore the Collar of Gold" It would be such an appropriate ditty, too, just as St Patrick's day is approaching. They might join in the chorus of ''The Wind That Shakes the Barley and add the refrain tThe Same Wind That Shook TJS's

NORWICH WANTS TT.

The Connecticut base ball league is still at sixes and sevens as regards the makeup of the circuit. Norwich is the latest town that wants to quit and oe transferred to Worcester. With Man. ager Canavan also after that place, it looks as if one or the other might land it. The Worcester Spy says: Officials of the Norwich club of the Connecti- cut league are now considering Wor- cester as the home of their team for this season. Yesterday Jack Tighe, captain of the team, and an authorized agent of the officials, came to Worces- ter. Mir Tighe had "a long talk with Malachi J. Kittredge. who has been associated with, James ID. Canavan in the move to have the New Haven fran hcise located in this city. Later Kit called up President Davenport of the Norwich club and had a cnat with him that resulted in the announcement by the Norwich magnate of his intention to visit this city tomorrow, when he will look over the local conditions. Eittredge told MT Davenport that he wasn't prepared to talk business re- lating to transfer because of the dealings between him and Manager Canavan of New Haven. Canavan has not answered Kits telegram ad- vising the magnate to leave hls polo interests in the west and come to this section of the country to protect his interests in New Haven. At the pres ent time the situation might be summed up as follows: If New Ha- ven is retained Ill the league, Norwich will make play to get into Worces- ter. Kittredge expects to get Presi- dent Murnane Of the New England league to withdraw in writing the claim of his league on this city.

DEMERE & HAMMOND
Say That Liverpool Is Due to Come
Down Points To-day.

Savannah. Ca. April 1.-THE cotton
market was largely professional to-
day, there being very little outside in
terest. Liverpool blows hot and cold,
just as the flying rumors prompt.
Prices in the New York pit are forced
up and down at the will of a few
prominent traders. The fluctuations
are very narrow and scalpers must be
satisfied to take a few points either
way. The estimates for the week,
and figures for the day, are bullsh,
but this is failing to have any influ-
ence, and public interest is now need
ed. The trade must become interested.
Spots, it is true, are very strong, but
they do not cause activity in the mar
ket, as the remaining small stocks of
desirable grades are gradually being
absorbed by the spinners.
The near options will, of course, be-
come stronger and the public conf
dence must be restored before we can
expect a good trading market. Frosts
in the southern part of Texas are re-
ported to have done much damage,
killing early cotton, a good part of
which will have to be replanted, but
this is too early in the season for a
little thing like this to bull the mar
ket.
Bright warm weather to-day report
ed generally in the cotton sections, so
that planting is progressing at the rate
of 100000 acres per day. On New
Yorl1's close tonight. Liverpool is due
to come 5 points lower tomorrow.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-12

wave of covering the market soon
yielded to a renewal of room pressure,
and further selling for long account.
The balance of the session was more
or less irregular, but in general the
market showed an easier undertone
and reached the lowest level in the
late trading when May sold at 14.5lc
and July at 14.79c. The close was
steady, but at practically the lowest,
a net decline of 2@20 points. Sales
were estimated at 200, 900 bales.
New Orleans did little, or nothing, in
the local market, and beyond the mod
crate selling by commission houses
noted in the early trading, the business
seemed to be mostly for professional
account and in a scalping character.
There was some talk that an important
Wall street interest was covering
quietly toward the close leading to the
slightly steadier tone, but in a general
way the market showed little feature.
Receipts continue very light with the
lnto-sight for the week estimated at
about $1,000 bales, against 10000 last
year.

Are More Inclined to the Buying
Side of the Market.

side of the Market.
New York, April 1.-THE market
seems to be very slow and unn-
teresting. When it ranges within
20 points and looks strong at the ad-
vance, and like going higher, and
then weak at the bottom as though it
was going lower it is not very encour-
aging at best.
The absence of a good spot demand
from spinners is the cause of the
whole trouble If this is due to di-
minished consumption and spinners
won't buy simply because they cannot
sell goods, and cannot use the cotton,
why then there is nothing to prevent
lower prices later on. But on the other
hand receipts are nothing, and 1t
looks as though there would be no cot
ton before another crop. 1t is this
mainly that keeps trade small.
Spot people will not admit there is
any business and believe prices are too
high. Some clever people, however,
look for higher prices later on. Be
tween the two the market halts. Re-
ceipts are almost nothing. AS long as
this is true it's hard to break the mar
ket, though an advance is not in or
der. We feel more inclined to the
buying side on a good break.

j. II. PARKER s. CO.'S
Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick &
Company.


New York. April 1.-THE frost that
visited the Southern states on Satur-
day night and Sunday proved to be
more severe than anticipated, and un-
less accounts from usually reliable
sources are misleading real damage to
cotton has been done, and replanting
will be necessary over a considerable
area. The frost seems to have ex-
tended almost down to the Gulf and
reports from Texas confirm damage
as far south as a line drawn between
Houston and San Antonio, Northern
Louisiana, Southern Arkansas and
West Mississippi, as far south as Nat
chez. The market, however, has shown
no disposition to take the matter Sc
riously, and in fact the extent of any
damage win simply be the necessity
of replanting.
Liverpool is not disposed to take a
bearish view of the Immediate outlook.
The sales there of spots to-day were
5000 bales at unchanged prices, and
futures were 6G7 points higher, until
the advance was dissipated by Ameri-
can selling. The center of bearish ac-
tivity seems to be in New York, and
considerable additions are being daily
made to the short interest. If Eu-
rope should remain firm, and any de-
mand for spots develop there, there
will be urgent covering of shorts at
better prices. Meanwhile the weak
ness shown on this side is increasing
the difference from Liverpool, and
these are again approaching a basis
which Will permit a transfer to Eu-
rope of our small surplus stock, of
which so much capital is being made
by the active bear element.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-12

Cotton worked its way downward
yesterday and futures fell from to
20 points in both New York and New
Orleans. The market in the former
city opened at a decline, due to dis
appointing cables as Liverpool failed
TO come up to expectations.
The report that killing frosts were re-
ported in some sections of the cotton
belt gave some alarm, but the planting
season is too young to make the APP
prehension at all serious. The total
sales in New York amounted to 1000
bales.
There was some little business done
on the local spot although quotations
were unchanged from Saturday. Spot
cotton declined 10 points in New York,
but in New Orleans and Liverpool
there was no change noted in prices.
Fob. brokers enjoyed good day s
business. There was a good inquiry,
and the offerings were much better
than usual. Brokers report that they
are getting producers and exporters
nearer together each day, and look for
increased business in the very near
future.
The fob. market opened at Is 1-16c
on a basis of good middling. and the
tone was posted as steady. At the
close prices had declined to IL cents.
Liverpool is expected to go down to-
day.
