New York-Never before has such
an advance as that of Saturday morn
ing been witnessed in the cotton mar
ket and never before has the market
shown such wild excitement. Cables
from Liverpool were spectacular. They
reported an advance of 20 to 1914
points, when they were expected to be
515 @10 points lower. There we're
sensational advices from Liverpool al
so, mentioning a corner in January
February, with an excited buying on
stop loss orders and rumors circulat-
ed regarding the condition of continent
tai, Liverpool and American houses.
The first prices here were at an ad-
vance of AZ to 81 points on the old and
II to As on the new crop months.
The sales Of the day were estimated
at 100000 bales.
On account of the fluctuations, COM
mission houses, and brokers, interests
the market would not consider an or
der without the deposit of a margin
of at least SIS bale. Some were ask
ing $40. The usual margin in ordi-
nary times is 81.

Customers Did Not Pay Up.

New York.-John f. Mcintyre, attor-
ney for the assignee of Baxter &c Co.,
says that the suspension resulted from
the short interest in cotton held by
number of the firms customers who
failed to respond to calls for extra
margins. The firms embarrassment,
Mr.. Mcintyre says, probably will be
only temporary. The firm has numer-
Gus branch offices throughout the
south. 1t had an extensive leased
wire system.
Mr.. Mcintyre says that the corpora
ton was not a member of any of the
New York exchanges, but was repre-
scented on a number of out of town
exchanges. It's 100000 capital was
actually paid in.

A. 3. Baxter & Co. suspends.

New Orleans.-Unoffcia announce
ment was made on the floor of the cot
ton exchange Of the closing of the
house of A. b. Baxter & Co., one of the
largest commission houses here. The
violent fluctuations in the cotton mar
ket are said to be responsible.
1t is not supposed that the firm has
lost much money here, but through
the middle south it is estimated that
they have been losing 100000 a day
for some time past against the long
side of the cotton market.
The general offices of the firm are in
New York. and they have branch
houses at every cotton center in the
south.
Baxter & Co. had only recently
bought out c. s. Murray & Co., incor-
porated, one of the largest stock bro
kerage companies in the country, and
had a capitalization of 100000.
The notice of the failure created r.
sensation. The defunct company con-
trolled a chain of 1875 offices from
New York to New Orleans.

AN IMPORTANT SALE.
Large Group of Mines Purchased By Eastern Men ard Work Will Be-
 gin at Once.

d~
 Yesterday the final payment was made on the sale of a group of thirty mines to the Mineral Hill Consolidat- ed Copper company The mines are located in the San Xavier district and embrace the United States patented claims of the Old Azurite company and the claims of the Mineral Hill company and the American Copper Mining company. The price paid was s5O, O,00O. Col. Thomas Hughes was the promoter in the sale of these mines and is now the general manager and resident agent for the company mak- ing the purchase.
 The principal owners are iron manu- | lecturers living in West Virginia and Kentucky. All are men of large capital and they propose to develop the mines on an extensive scale. Manager Hughes says that they will probably commence work in a very short time, systematically developing the different groups of claims with view of block ing out ore bodies and making and placing a reserve on dumps sufficient to warrant the erection Of concen trating plant. The richest ore will probably be shipped to some custom smelter until such a time as the concentrating plant has been erected and is in operation. This is a mcs' important sale and means much, fol Tucson's many men will be employed when the development and mining 'tbusiness is under full headway.- Star. l

Members of Association not Discour-
aged But Have Other
Interests.

Wayne county is now without a
fair association. Word has been re-
ceived from Hagerstown to the eff
feet that the Wayne County Fair
Association will not give another
fair. The members are not diScour-
aged, but they have other matters
demanding their attention, and un-
less something is done toward form
ing new company to take its place,
there will be no fairs at Hagerstown
in the future. -z
Richmond men who have attempt
ed to form an organization for a fair
in Richmond have always been con-
fronted with the argument that So
long as there is one fair association
in the country it would be useless to
attempt to give another one. The
fact that the Hagerstown association
has decided to throw up the sponge
may result in the Richmond project
being revived. The Hagerstown EX-
ponent, IN speaking OF the affair,
there, says:
For the information Of those who
have made inquiry as to what will
probably be done in the way of hold
ing another Hagerstown fair, we
have authority to say that the pres
ent board, as whole, have no desire
to hold, and have no intention of
holding another fair. Most of them
have been working in the fair bust
ness for some time, and want a rest
from further work in that line, but
would like to see the fair go on. The
lease on the fair grounds expires
next March. Five years ago the asso-
citation was 81 100 in debt and now
the debt is less than $500. The build
ings are worth more than the debt,
and if a new association does not
take the fair and continue. the build
ings will be sold to cancel the debt.

And Edwin Promptly Handed Over
$500 and His Watch

Attorney Edwin Fl. limerick of
Indianapolis, a former Richmond
man and a graduate Of the Richmond
High School, had an experience Sun
day night in indianapolis that he
will not soon forget. The following
account was published in the Indi-

Edwin Fl. limerick, an attoreny in
the Law building, had a thrilling
experience while walking to his home
last night. About IL O'Clock he
started across the city from East
Washington street to East Tenth
street. At Pine and Market streets
he turned his head to watch an au-
tomobile, and when he looked around
he stared into the muzzle Of a revol-
yer. The weapon was in the hands of
robber, determined young man of
good appearance. Mr.. limerick
glanced along the barrel into a pair
of elittering eyes.
"Cough up what you have or I'll
put a whole in you,' the robber said
soolly, as though he was making a
simple request.
Mr.. limerick produced something
over So and the robber told him he
would like to have his watch and fob
When these were forthcoming the at
torney was told to walk away and
not look back. His gait was too slow
to please the robber who called out
"walk a little faster.''
