cothran 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

By c. w. Lee & Co.
 After this break of 40 points and over, things look different. We are not satisfied that the short interest has covered to an extent that would allow further col- lapse.
 In fact, from the action of the market today' there IS almost as much cottton wanted around lO1sc as there was around 91ac. There will be the scare of poor weekly on Tuesday. the fear of a poorer bureau on Friday, and the fear of an- other twist of shorts.
 This sort of atmosphere is not con- ducive to bear hammering, and SO we don't look for much more of decline for the moment. In fact cotton would seem to be in position to advance easily as soon as buyers start the ball rolling once more We would not hesitate to buy on any break now, and we don't care 10 FISK the snort side until we have more cotton.
 Stocks-The close was firm. although activity was confined to very small num- Ter of stocks. Strength in St. Paul was probably dominant influence Bank state ment coiorless. and for that reason better than the street had expected Traders did not seem to have much stocks to sell to even up over the end of the week Union Pacific was bid up quietly without find ing any sellers of long stocks There was some selling of car foundry issues on unfavorable trade reports. Sales to- day, 223.S47
 Wheat-The strength in Liverpool caused somewhat higher opening in wheat here this morning, but longs were quick to take advantage of 1t, causing the arket to weaken eff considerably. There was not much strength until later in the session. when shorts. aided hy bad crop reports arom the Red river valley dis tricts, covered, where there was more complaints of black rust. one or the Chicago experts in the ser vice or Fringle, said: Tn all my experi-

Two performances will be Civ

three-fourths OF it's performances

A show of the magnitude of the
Great Wallace Show, with it's 8

An absent minded young lady

time in the night there came a
succession of terrible shrieks from

rush up the stairs only to meet
a frantic female figure, clad in
white, fleeing in desperate haste
from her apartment, crying:

that he is not easily clas sed
among the simon pure lovers of
peace. One does not need to be a
professor of physiology to dis
Germ the real temperamental at

is the simple truth that Mr.. Roo-
sevelt is one of those men who
are naturally fascinated by the
profession OF arms, AID who are
instinctively adherents of those
principles of politics which read
lily aud quickly make room for
military force in settling all in
ternational conflicts. His speeches
have been as full of the war spir-
it as an egg is full of meat, and
he has done more to cultivate a
militarist conception of our ma

American of our time."

Negroes in New York.

Heretofore the negro has been
thrifty in New York, but now he
is confined, as a rule, to employ,
-8ent as porter or operator OF
elevators, and they have to pay
higher rents than the whites, and
they are not prosperous. The op'
portunity of negro women for
employment is daily becoming
less in the big city. Their num-
Der will not increase under such
conditions. And yet negroes own
property on Manhattan to the ex-
tent Of three millions, and sever
al of them conduct large facto,
ries, undertaking establishments
and catering companies. They are
almost to man Republicans, and
one of their number, Charles w.
Anderson, is a member of the
new State Republican executive
committee. The leading negroes
of the big CITY show an inclina-
ton to help each other, and there
il a plain disposition on their
pr to stand together in
o,d-r to resist the tendency to
drive the race as whole to sub
urban places Birmingham Age-
