From the New York Commercial.
The demand for American cottons for
consumption in the Far Eastern coun-
tries has shown no improvement dur
ing the past seven days, and the only
feature worthy of note at the moment
is the freedom of buying for South
American republics. Stocks in China
have not yet reached that depleted
state which makes it necessary for her
merchants to call on us for new sup
plies, and until they. do sellers here
will not look for a renewal of demand
from that source, unless prices ease off
considerably. which is not at all like
ly. During the first three months of
last year we exported to China 600, 942
pieces, against 949,940 pieces in the
same months of 1902. American drills
amounted to ESQ., 4S7 pieces, against $751;
100 pieces in the corresponding months
of the preceding year, while Ameri-
can jeans to the amount of SO, 760 pieces
were exported, as compared with &c.
600 pieces in the same months of 1902.
According to reports there has been a
greater decrease in demand of Ameri-
can cottons than there has been in
goods made in the United Kingdom,
although no reason is advanced for
this so far as is known. 1t is said in
recent. mail advices from Shanghai
that supplies promise to be very light
in the spring, as there is no chance
now of any material increase in the
home export.
There is no doubt that China trade
will be affected to a considerable ex-
tent in the event of war between ia
pan and Russia, but up TO the pres
ent very little has been said by Chi
nese merchants as to what course they
will take under such circumstances.
India and the Red sea have kept away
from the market being influenced by
the same factor that has held Chi
nese trade in check, but the fact that
stocks in those markets are all the
time dwindling gives sellers here rea-

SPIRITS SOAR AGAIN
STEADY DEMAND ADVANCES TUR-
PENTINE TO 50 CENTS.
MARKET BULLED ITSELF.
RECEIPTS CONTINUE AT Low EBB
AND MARKET is BRISK.

Resins Are IN a Boom and Prices
in Some of the Grades Are Marked
Up-RepOrted That Even Higher
Than Quotations Were Realized
by Factors on Private Terms After
Markets CIOse-PaIes Continue to
lie Much Sought After, and Prices
Are Expected to Be Even Better
Than at Present.
Yesterday was day fraught with ex-
element in the naval stores market.
Especially was this true of spirits, for
which there was an active demand, and
the market closed at an advance of
11ac. There was a look of satisfac-
ton on the faces of the factors when
"59 cents" was chalked up at the
Board of Trade.
The mention Of the fact that Presi-
dent Young of the Tank Company, had
advanced the market, should not be
considered as a full movement The
market practically bulled itself. No
advance was brought about by a strong
demand for home consumption. When
this fact is coupled with light receipts,
it can be easily seen why the spirits
trade is in such a healthy condition.
Resins are also in steady demand,
and at the opening yesterday changes
were made on quotations, and the fol-
lowing grades were advanced: X, 5;
l, %; H, 20; G, 10; F, 10, and E 5.
There is a continued strong demand
for "pales," and commons and mediums
brought even better than quoted
prices after the close.

ket is firm, at 59c; sales reported yes

HAZARD A DESERTER.
Was a First Lieutenant When He
Disappeared.

Washington, Jan. THE press dis
patch from Minneapolis announc-
ing the arrest there of Samuel c.
Hazard, on the charge of bigamy,
was the first news received at the War
Department regarding a former officer
OF the army named Samuel Chrisman
Hazard, who was dropped as a de-
serter in May 1900.
He was stationed at West Point as
instructor of modern languages from
1895 until 1898 and then served as adj
Jutant of the academy for two years.
He was then first lieutenant of the
coast artillery and was ordered to
join his regiment at Fort Barancas,
Fla. After a few months service at
that post he disappeared and not hav-
ing been heard from at the expiration
of three months time, was dropped
from the rolls as a deserter. At that
time he had wife living in New York.
Being now a private citizen the War
Department has no Jurisdiction over
him.

FAR EASTS DEMAND FOR
AMERICAN COTTONS SLOW
Trade in Orient Shows Falling Off While South
America Buys Freely.

son to believe that a demand will be
forthcoming before many weeks, and
it may develop suddenly any day.
Purchasers for the South American
markets nave partaken quite freely of
American cottons this week. and there
is no disposition on the part of sellers
to find fault with this miscellaneous
request, as it constitutes the back
bone of the cotton goods exports at
the present time. Colombia, Brazil
Chile and Venezuela have been liberal
buyers, while other republics have
done an average business. Shipments
for the week ending Tuesday have
hardly been up to the average al
though they seldom are during the hol-
iday season.
The exports of duck and other do
mestics from the port of New York
for all foreign ports for the week end
ing Tuesday, Jan. 5. 1904, were as fol-
lows:

While good news bats"
Lay of the Bulls apologies to MIL
toni.
After the storm of Wednesday came
a quiet, peaceful lull, with the rising
of yesterdays sun. While it is true
that the rain beat piteously on the
dome of the Cotton Exchange and its
patter, patter. patter could be heard
by the buyers" and Sellers" who
moved this way, and that way in
nervous fashion on the floor beneath,
yet it was a rain of repentance, tears
from Heaven if you will, for those
who had bought wisely as they thought,
but not well. 1t fell noiselessly upon
the little lambs, who had been ruth
lessly shorn of their fleece in the mad
battles between the bulls and the
bears.
The day was devoid of all the turbu-
lent scenes that have characterized a
capricious market for the past two
weeks. 1t gave an opportunity to re-
pair heart strings that had been all
but rent in twain by the nervous
tension they had been subjected to
for To- these many past hours.
While the early hour after the open
ing was the cause of some alarm when
cotton broke 80 points, yet fears were
soon poulticed, for it steadily advanced
and in a short time under heavy buy
ing the market regained Its lost
ground.
Good news comes slow" was the
slogan of the bulls, and while the mar
ket at the close did not soar with
the same rapidity that it had fallen
on the previous day, still a comfortable
margin of IL points advance was con-
ISOLATION in the light of past events.
Liverpool did not make the slump
that was expected, and the close
of British business day saw cotton
only p points down the ladder.
Then, too, the war news which was
favorable for peace, to use a seeming
~ paradox, gave a reassuring tone TO
the market.
But little business was done on the
spot and quotations We're unchanged.
The record of the days business is
told in the total sales of 80 bales"
which was chalked up at the close on
the blackboards.
The f. o. b. brokers practically en-
1oyed holiday, the interior refused
TO sell. and the exporters declined to
buy That sums up the situation in
a nutshell, and as it always takes two
TO make bargain, there was nothing
doing. The tone of the T. o. b. market
was nominal on a basis of good mid
ding at 13c, at the opening, and 12sLc
at the close.

Others Carried 1t On.
Frankfort, Ky, Jan. THE Dem
ocratic caucus of the Legislature call
ed to nominate a state librarian, and
a prison commission took on a wide
range, and developed into a turbulent
political affair.
The question OF a uniform school
text book law was injected into the
proceedings by a resolution relating to
the rules governing the caucus, and
relating to the book bill. Senator
j. Campbell Cantrill, who was pre-
siding as chairman, declared the res
Olution out of order, and when over
ruled, declared the caucus dissolved.
He left the hall, followed by several
members, but eighty-nine of the log
members of the caucus remained.
These, led by Speaker Brown, re6r-
ganized the caucus with Senator Hick-
man as chairman and adopted the
resolution, which foreshadows the
passage of the bill.

as rapid, and at the close the feeling

between Russia and Japan are set
tied, however, we hardly think it pru-
