i Before you cast your vote on the

up to the old site and see the magnifi'

site would have to face and then take
look at that other fine block with
/ its fine outlook on all sides. 1t seems
to us that most people would quickly

and would not begrudge few extr:
cents of taxation to do it either.

The question of locating the school
depended on the money question pre-
viously as argued by those opposed to
moving. Now that the citizens have
raised money enough to present the
board with the Syverson block free
only taking in the old site and the
primary school by way Of exchange, it
seems to the COURIER that the tax
payers ought to jump at the chance
and vote unanimously to accept the
proposition. The two old sites at the
best could not realize over d, 500 SO
that the school board would be made

the relative value of the new block

The question of getting bonds did
not seem to meet with much opposi-
ton last Thursday as the special
election held for that purpose
demonstrated. There were only 81
votes cast which is a very small vote
for a town like this on such matter
of great importance as bonding the
town for fifteen thousand dollars.
There we're sixty-fiye votes cast for
bonds and two against, which would
indicate that the town was about I'M
animious on the point that we should
have a good building. We had ex-
pected much more opposition and it
isgratifying to know that the voters
believe in giving the school children

ural rally i'm the future department

to any lack of cotton for sale
OF course, there is some demand
which is natural when it is consider
ed that prices are now 21s cents be-
low those of three weeks ago, and rel
atively much lower than the basis on
which dry goods were selling, but the
free offerings on every advance are
strong testimony of readiness of
banks to liquidate the holdings off

done to advantage While there is a
considerable element looking for a

sort can be maintained before the

have been completed. once the dis

FUTURES MADE GAINS
IN NEW YORK MARKET.

New York. Dec. THE cotton market
showed still less activity, sales for the
day being estimated at about 100000
bales. Fluctuations We're very irregu
lar, but the market in the main showed
a steadier tone, and the close was at
a moderate gain for the day.
The market opened firm at an adj
vance of 7@15 points, in response to
tirmer cables than expected. Liver
pool was due to report a decline Of
about 2@3 points, but Influenced by
speculative covering, decreased liqui-
dation and smaller spot offerings from
the South, was to points higher at
the hour of local opening After gain
ing another point or two on some posi-
lions there was a renewal of bear pres
sure, locally, and fluctuations during
the morning were very irregular, with
prices averaging about the opening fig
ures or slightly lower Shortly after
midday there was a hard drive by
leading bear interests and with some
New Orleans selling a break to nearly
the closing level of the previous day
was secured. At this level there was
heavy buying, credited to the account
of the Wall street bear leader, and the
market in the later trading was also
steadied by reports of very heavy ex-
ports, which reached nearly 1000 900
bales, and steadier Southern spot mar
kets The close was very steady, at q
net gain of 12Q17 points.

when a drop of ~ cents took place

The trade was not particularly sur

jumps in price had been too large to
be healthy for the continuance of the
high level of prices. The market open

reported, and closed steady at 4Sh

another decline took place and all the
receipts sold in the post market bus
mess went at As cents. The receipts
were unusually light, amounting to
but 81 casks. No shipments were
reported. The New York market was
quoted steady at SO cents. London
was reported at 80.
The rosin market opened firm with
slight changes in prices of the lower

an outside price, and C B an adj

unchanged at the prices below and
without additional sales. In the late
trade an advance of cents was paid
generally on K and above, while the
remainder of the list went in some
cases at outside prices and in others
at inside prices according to place of
delivery. The receipts were LASS. No
shipments were reported. New York
was reported dull at $3.50.

EwERT WAS HANGED.

Freddie Ewert, aged about %, paid
the penalty of the law at Key West
in the Enclosure of the county Jail. In
the fall his neck was broken, and he
did not move a muscle. The crime for
which Ewert was executed was COM
mitted some eighteen months ago. He
and Frank Whitaker were out walking
one evening, when the latter showed
a large roll of bills. Ewert invited
Whitaker to go and get some clam
chowder on a vessel in the harbor.
They went. and while the chowder
was being cooked Ewert asked Whita-
ker for some money to get bread.
Whitaker cursed him. and said he was
beat. This enraged Ewert, who at
tackled Whitaker with an ak. killing
him and throwing his body into the
sea. Next morning the body was
found and several arrests were. made.
After coming from the schooner that
night, Ewert took a hack and rode
for some time, and spent money free
ly, and about midnight took several
hundred dollars to the proprietor of a
coffee shop for safe keeping. He was
arrested next day and made a con-
fession.

}. 5. DACHE & co.'s
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick q Company.


New York, Dec. THE market
showed a better tone this morning, but
later weakened. Interior holders
seem to be unwilling to accept the de-
cline scored by speculative markets.
They may, of course, be forced to
change their attitude later on, but
for the time being the spot situation
appears to be steadying, and with
spot cotton offered less freely, specu-
lative markets are naturally reflect
ing less aggressive policies by the bear
leaders. General sentiment rs still
against the market and much of the
talk favoring a reaction is undoubted-
ly issued in the hope of a selling ba-
sis. According to our ideas, the sit
uation must work itself out from this
level. Spinners are confronted with
no less serious problem than the in
terror holders are and both those
branches of the trade would be help
ed possibly by at least a temporary
advance. Buyers of cotton goods are
demanding concessions in keeping with
the decline. To meet buyers views
would mean disastrous losses, and if
spot prices were to advance half a
cent or quarter cent until goods could
be disposed of, spinners would
be in better position. Mean
while the attitude of interior holders
is the important item. If this can be
influenced by speculation further de-
clines are probable. If the market
does not react, the salvation Of spin
ners would be to average their cotton
by buying further supplies at as low
a level as possible.
