piled the pressure was removed and
prices showed a quick recovery on
buying orders, evidently emanating
from the same source that the selling
orders came from. Room traders
were quick to seize the opportunity
and their buying FASTENED the recov-
cry, which at one time amounted to 40
points.
The market closed steady, but at
such a net loss that the general opin-
ion was that it would have a great
and adverse effect on Liverpool to-
morrow morning, which might cause
a continuation of the decline on the
local market. Some traders thought
that the manipulators who were at
work tonight would send buying or
ders to Liverpool to support that mar
ket and help drive prices up again in
the local market tomorrow.
Early in the day 1t was the general
belief that the market would be ma
nipulated for a wide break before the
day was over and many brokers ad-
vised customers to keep out of the
market. Nearly all brokers asked $40
a bale margin, while some asked SIS.
At the close Ii was the generally ex-
pressed opinion that prominent longs
again entered the break to rid them
selves of undesirable company and also
for the profit it would bring them.
1t was rumored that Sully had
iquidated his interests in New York
and was going to Florida.
One of the significant features of the
break was that shorts appeared to
have taken little advantage of il to
sell short, and we'll known bears did
not attempt to take advantage of the
weakness of the market. At all times
the market appeared to be in full con-
troll of the long side.

DEPL0RES RIOT OF DIVORCES.
Judge SeabrooI1 Says 1t Is Time to
Call "a Halt.


Hinesville, Ga, Feb. 2.-The Liberty
Superior Court is in session this week.
The civil docket will take considerable
of the time of the court and then the
criminal cases will be taken up. Judge
Seabrook, in his charge to the grand
jury, touched forcibly upon the man
ner in which divorces are granted.
"One of the most striking and fire.
quent illustrations of the indifference
with which the laws meet and their
majesty is reviled,' said Judge Sea-
brook, lis in the trial of divorce
causes. After much thought l have
decided that it is my duty, and I wish
that all judges of Georgia would con-
ceive it to be theirs to call attention
to the wretched abuse of the law, that
a healthier and sturdier sentiment
may be created in opposition to the
laXity with which the average jury
deals with divorce cases. This is
condition general throughout the
state, and it is the duty of all good
citizens to call a halt. AS it Is now
any person becoming dissatisfied with
marriage, with or without cause, does
not hesitate to bring his case to court,
secure in the belief that through the
Indulgence of his fellow citizens he
may confidently expect, within twelve
months, to be relieved of the yoke that
chafes, and $25 counsels fee. This is
due to no defect in the law itself. The
law is as nearly perfect as human
thought and intelligence can make it,
but il is due to the Indifferent regard
of juries for divorce cases, and their
almost unfailing willingness to grant

Columbus. Ga. Feb. 2.-J. Perry
Greene, formerly bookkeeper and CASH
Ter for the Columbus Show Case Com

rant sworn out by John F. Weathers,
president of the company, charging him

No Big Mills Closed.

Boston, Feb 2.-Although New
England manufacturing companies
are not in the cotton market for raw
material in larger amounts at present
quotations, no big corporation has
entirely shut down it's mills. In many
mills there is some idle machinery
and towards spring it is expected many
more spindles will have to be stopped.
1t developes that the unusual cost
of cotton is not the only impeachment
to the success of the cotton industry.
The fear of war between Japan and
Russia has killed the demand in China
and other countries in the Orient for
cotton goods, and most of those mills
which engage in the export trade with
that part of the world are looking for
markets elsewhere.

Condition of aorees

The warm weather and rain last
Saturday and Sunday caused ice in
the river from Lackawaxen to Port
Jervis to move, but 1t gorged about
halfway between here and Port
Jervis and remains. The water rose
several feet so as to pass around the
railroad bridge at Matamoras, but
cold weather checked the rise and it
gradually subsided. The gorges be
low were not affected and the one at
Cave Bank backed the water until it
covered the road between here and
Sehanno's. The immense jams in
the river have been rendered frmer
by the cold this week and all specu-
lation as to the outcome should
rain or thaw come must be vain.
Water below here is running over
the ice and may weaken it. AS
evidence Of the body of ice in the
river and the effect of the cold Mr..
E. Warner states that never in his
recollection Of the river, dating back
more than 80 years, has the ice been
sufficiently finn to carry teams
directly across at his ferry just below
Drinks rift. 1t is now solidIy frozen
over.
Out on the Susquehanna the con-
ditions are threatening. The gorges
extend for many miles and by reason
Of the low banks much Of the land
may be inundated causing great
property loss.
1t is to be hoped that such con-
ditlons may ensue as will relieve
fears and permit the ice to pass out
without entailing damage.

power at moment when all hands
and all hearts were united again to
confer upon him the sovereignty Of
the country. Restored to the peace
ful retirement Of Mount Vernon, he
devoted himself to the pursuits Of
agriculture and though he accepted
the command of the army in 1898, It
was merely to unite the affections of
his fellow citizens to the general good,
and was one more sacrifice to his high
sense Of duty. He died, after short
illness, ON the 14th Of December, 1899,
and was buried with the honors due
to the noble founder Of a happy and
prosperous republic.

Millions in Property Burned -Insur-

Millions in Property Burned-Insur-
ance Companies Lose Heavily
The most destructive cOnfiagration
in the history Of Baltimore occurred
last Sunday raging from II O'Clock in
the morning until far in the night.
Hundreds of the largest business
houses in the center of the city were
destroyed entailing losses to the
amount probably Of two hundred
million dollars. The losses of prop
erty will probably equal those OF the
famous fire which swept Chicago in
1871. The fire originated in a dry
goods house in the very heart of the
city, and started with a series Of loud
explosions. The firemen finding it
impossible to check the flames blew
up a number Of buildings with dyna-
mite but the fire leaped over the gaps
thus made and took fresh and more
threatening starts. A strong wind
was blowing from the west which
helped to fan the flames aud force
them into the most valuable territory.
The area burned over includes one
hundred and forty acres and two
thousand Ave hundred buildings
were destroyed. Twenty-Five thous-
and people, most of whom are poor,
are thrown out of employment. In
surance companies will be hard hit
and probably number will be forced
out of business.

Senator Foraker Ohio has intro
duced a bill to so amend the Inter-
state Commerce and Antitrust acts,
as to permit contracts or combinations
in restraint Of trade, if the restraint is
reasonable. This would leave the
courts to say what is reasonable re-

prohibit contracts in restraint Of trade
which are reasonable differs from the
