Tuesday. Feb. 9. 1904.

J. B. Harris e. Co. received the
following letter from Gilbert &
CLAW yesterday:
American cotton markets ex-
perienced another series of hair
raising fluctuations, as the trade
was wrestling with features that
come under the category of nerve
shatterers. The census ginners
report and rumors of actual war
in the Orient sufficed tc create a
degree of anxiety in all quarters,
and prices swung like pendulum
in both directions. Liverpool
was hypnotized by the oppor-
tunity to get cheap cotton, and
proceeded to buy without re
straint until a recovery of some
81 per bale was established. Lit
tie additional encouragement was
required to send prices higher
here. Trading increased there
after, and some fresh buying was
influenced by anticipation of
bullish census report. The mes
sage was confused in transmits
sion, but the corrected figures
showed the equivalent of 9,485,
900 square bales ginned to Jan.
16. This indicates a crop consid-
erably under 10000, 1000 bales,
but traders, before accepting
the calculation seriously, prefer
to see a greater diminution in
receipts. Thus the effect of the
report soon wore off, and war
news contributed to an urgent
selling pressure. which forced
prices as low as yesterday. In
such conditions utmost caution
continues advisable, and it is
better to wait and watch de
velopments.

Hon. a. J. Erwin, Jr., of Craw-
ford, has succeeded in passing
through the lower house of the
Legislature a most excellent bill,
which if it passes the Senate and
becomes a law, will entitle him to
the gratitude of the commercial
interests of the entire State.
1t is a bill requiring railroads to
settle claims for lost and
damaged freight within thirty
days, if shipped over one line or
system, and go days if shipped
over two lines or systems, the
claims not exceeding S25. and
provides penalties thereto. Mr..
Ervin's measure provided for all
claims but it was amended, limit
ing the amount as above.
