New Orleans, March 16.-The spot cotton market was quiet weak and lower. Sales 300 bales. Quotations reduced 9sc
 Futures opened to IS points down. caused by unfayorable Liverpool cables, the market there continuing 10 decline un- til the close, when prices were IS to 19 points higher than yesterday. While the initial decline here brought out much ofit-taking by shorts the course of Liverpool caused much fresh selling, and toward noon the course of Liverpool caused much fresh sellin, and toward noon the bears had succeeded in forcing a wide decline. At times the leading longs were free buyers, but no one showed any de- sire to force prices up. The trading in the early morning was not heavy, and 1t was done mostly by professionals. but later on a sensational break occurred, and for half an hour the ring was in a panic. Thousands of bales were thrown upon the market by frightened longs. Prices sank fifty points in a few minutes, Prices finally recovered but declined again. The market closed quiet with net losses of 67 to 80 points on the old crop months and 9 to % on the near.

New York, March 16.-Coffee futures opened steady, unchanged. following feat ureless early cables and ruled generally quiet. A cable was received estimating the coming Santos crop at $500, 600 or just about in line with recent crop ideas, and consequently had very little influence on the market, which became a little easier and slightly more active in the af- ternoon under scattering liquidation.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By c. w. Lee & Go.
 New York, March 16.-The market to- day broke in response to Liverpool. The foreign position Is by far stronger than New York or New Orleans and yet the weakness over there today attracted at tention and finally broke prices here very sharply Below 16 cents considerable cot ton came out and all but the big people were sellers. It takes money and cour- age to hold cotton over 16 cents as soon as the market gets weak. There has been a lot of cotton sold for delivery in this city on May contracts and this load is getting to be serious. Looking over the situation it Is difficult to see where I,iv- erpool Is to get all her cotton, and yet Liverpool is weak. This is a strain to be watched carefully It's no use trying to oppose a break at this level. If the mar ket wants to go down 1t will go down. It's a market to be very cautious about and buyers should stay very close to the market. The break abroad left the situa- tion very unsatisfactory this morning and ali saw that the position looked diff ferent from yesterday There was not the rally in that was in sight yesterday we would go slow on the buying side at the moment

By Miller & Co.
 New York, March 16.-About quarter of a million shares were dealt in the first hour today and each hour subsequently witnessed gradual falling off in the ex- tent of the dealings. although the aggre- gate transactions for the day were on a scale The heavy business in the first hour was due to Continuing of the panic among the shorts which was developed yesterday by the vigorous aggressive tac- tics of bull interests. London was large buyer and there was some improvement in commission business. Further assur- ances were received that the attitude of the administration would be extremely conservative towards combinations Senti- ment was also helped by the more favor- able interpretation put upon the decision by prominent railroad men and mem- bers of the bar.

New York March 16.-The stock market today reflected further short covering op- erations. The large short interest is not fully covered. It Is very stubborn accord ing to all accounts. New commitments were put out by 1t on the bulge today.
 There was a broadening of the market and London bought a large amount of stocks. which is encouraging, representing the foreign view of our market. The banks are now gaining from the sub-treasury, and this will probably operate for an-- other statement of favorable complexion at the end of the week, and if so. money rates are likely to remain low, which will force further investment buying The de- mand for bonds is improving. We are in. clined to the opinion that the standard stocks should be bought on reactions for turps for the present.

Caldwell G Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett, Frazier &s Darlington.
 Chicago, March. 16.-Bearish sentiment predominated in grain and provisions to- day. Trade was light. Wheat bulls liqui- dated and bears put short lines on the prediction of rain or snow all over the winter wheat belt tonight. The cash wheat and flour trade today was light. The ab- sence of any domestic or export demand for corn, even at the big discount of the number three under the option is empha- sizing In the speculative mind the un- natural relationship.
 Wheat-The Liverpool market closed half off. There were some local sales of one northern at 1 cent under the May. Twenty-two loads were reported taken for export at the seaboard. We would advise waiting for further decline before purchasing wheat. Estimated receipts to- morrow, 15 cars.
 Corn-Everpoo closed a fraction up Receipts will probably continue light un- til after the spring work is finished, but promises to be heavy enough to meet the limit demand There was a good demand for number and number 8 yellow corn, which ruled 1s to 1c a bushel higher. Esti- mated receipts tomorrow, 160 cars.
 Oats-25, ,000 bushels of standard were transferred from private houses. Cash market steady; estimated receipts tomor- row 115 cars. Advise sales of May on bulges.
 Provisions-Local hog receipts were 34, 900, and the market at the yards was Sc lower; estimated receipts, 25,0O0.

The following list of township
trustees elected at the last election,
will show a condition that most vot-
ers did not think existed. The trus-
tees elected will take their Offices
on January l, 1905.
While it is a fact that President
Roosevelt carried Indiana, the Re-
publicans only elected about half of
the trustees in the state.
1t will be seen by the list that
there is need for caring who is elect
ed township trustee. Parties will
say: "Oh, it don't make much diff
ference who is elected trustee' But
by the list here given it will be seen
that it does. The trustees oppoint
the members of the election boards,

Joseph Jackson, a prominent cit
izen, residing at p North Eleventh
street, and an employe of the Rich
mond Street and Interurban railway
company, while attempting to make
descent into an empty cistern on
Sunday to make some necessary re-
pairs, found that the opening was
entirely too small for one with such
a large frame, and Joe was much
chagrined to find himself in such a
humiliating position, where he could
do nothing but say a great deal,
much to the delight Of the onlookers,
who hurriedly called in some of the
neighbors and after a short delay
soon dislodged the unfortunate.
He was able to return to his work
Monday morning, only feeling a lit
tie more sore in mind than body.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

H. Milton Elrode the hustling Dist.
Manager for the Equitable Life
of New York has just closed another
entirely successful year with this
large and influential company.
He now numbers among his policy
holders the best citizens of Rich
mond and by having the largest com
pany in the world behind him he no
doubt will add many more to his
books.
Within the past year the "Equit-
able' has paid more dividends than
any company in existence. 1t has
made a phenomenal gain in assets
and for new insurance written it has
a record as yet unequaled.
This company's policy contracts
are unequaled in both simplicity and
liberality, and considering all these
good points We do not hesitate to pre-
dict another large and successful
year for both the "Equitable' and
its Dist. Manager.

unconsciously describe a circle in the
air with his shoulder, there is going
to be rain in the morning. Cattle or
horses will do the same thing in their
own way, but the poor dumb brute
knows why they do it. They feel I'M
easy. In this man lacks the alleged
horse sense. He looks and shrugs,
but he can not tell you why. He
foretells the weather more accurate
ly in this way than the salaried
weather man. Doubtless you have
heard of so-called dampened spirits.
Well these dampened spirits come
before the dampness gets here. One
Saturday evening when there was
large crowd in town I happened to
walk down the street. In one square
counted the number of men who
rolled their eyes heavenward. There
were a number I would hate to say
how many and each looked as if he
would like to wiggle his ears. I
went to the library, got a good book
and prepared to make myself COM

that I was not going to church in
the morning by the signs the men
had made. On Sunday I read my
book and also one of those master

could have foretold the night before.
It was entitled Storm of Rain and

Takes an Overdose of Morphine at
Cambridge City.
Especial to the Palladium


Cambridge City, December s.
Charles Wolf, of Connersville, while
under the influence of liquor is
thought to- have taken an overdose
of morphine here this afternoon. He
came to this city this morning and
became intoxicated. This afternoon
he was in the Fan Saloon and left
there to go across the street. He
walked but a few steps when he fell
in front of Charles Marson's store.
When bystanders reached him he
was in an unconscious condition and
they carried him into Boards cigar
store. DIR. Little was summoned and
after working for some time he sue
ceeded in bringing Wolf out of dan
ger. At this hour Wolf is thought
to be out of danger, but is still in a
serious condition. He will be taken
to his home this evening if his condi-
ton is such that he can be moved.
DR.. Little was unable to state
whether the poison Wolf took was
morphine or not. No one remembers
of having seen him take the poison
and it is not known just when or
where he drank it.
