STATE LOSES LAND

State Auditor Looks Into Some Home
stead Claims.
State Auditor Iverson has returned from
trip to the north shore Of Lake SUI
perior, where he went. with G. W.. Somer-
by, assistant attorney general, and F. w.
Walker, one of his, cruisers, to look at a
state land section that has been con-
tested by homesteaders. He says the
section filed on by the homesteaders can
not possibly support them, and that it
contains some five or six million feet of
good pine.
It is likely that the state will institute
proceedings against the squatters on
school land. Mr.. Iverson says the state
has lost vast sums by mere technical
compliance with the homestead laws.

TRYING NEW STAND
Experiments with Band Location Being
Made at Harriet,

On account Of the unsatisfactory re-
suits obtained from the bandstand at the
Lake Harriet pavilion, an experiment is
being made with a new stand and a
different arrangement. The effects for
which Director Oberhoffer strove with his
new band were not attained. In the new
stand the pillars are smaller and there IS
more room. The latter is a temporary
structure at the east end Of the north
wing, but If 1t is shown that the ideas
which prompted it's erection are sound, a
permanent stand will be provided at the

SMALLPOX DECREASES

The Presence Of Any Cases, However, Is
Not Encouraging.
Smallpox is again on the wane in Min
nesota. Reports to the state board Of
health for the week ending July IL showed
only fourteen new cases, Of which three
were from Minneapolis.
Secretary H. M. Bracken Is not par
ticularly encouraged over this light
showing, as midsummer is the season
when smallpox is least troublesome, and
he had hoped to see the disease stamped
cut entirely before cold weather. He says
he can see no immediate hope Of entirely
stamping out the disease.

he would get off. II'stead Of that he
stood up and deliberai ely threw himself
in front Of the speeding train. The engi-
neer set the brakes but 1t was too late tc
save the mans. life. HIS body was taken

Receipts are falling off in a good
many sections. If this should con-
tinue for some days, there is no tell
ing to what limit prices will be ad-
vanced. Since the main bear argu-
ment heretofore has been the excess
movement over last year in the re-
ceipts. This, however, could quickly
be disposed of by the close of jan
uary, and 1t is not impossible that
it will be. The improvement in the
early market was only short lived and
heavy selling followed which depress-
ed prices seriously. A heavy short
interest was undoubtedly created as a
result of reckless offerings and a sharp
twist must necessarily result.

Spot cotton market was very quiet
offerings light and buyers holding off.
Sales, 500 bales. including 400 to ar
rive: delivered on contracts, 900. Quo
tatiOns, HC lower.
Cotton futures opened irregular, from
10 points higher to 10 points lower.
Soon after the opening London cables
reported a decline of 13-16c in consols.
This caused something of a panic and
weak longs threw their holdings over
board in the most reckless manner,
and bears hammered prices vigorously
Later in the morning there was a re-
covery of several points on buying by
the bull leader. who bid 13.25c for 25,-
900 bales of March.
No definite news in regard to the war
situation was received. and only bad
feature in this direction was the de-
cline in consols. Late in the morning
cables said that consols had recovered
5-16c, and this Immediately had a fav-
orable effect on prices. In the trading
May first advanced ) points to 13.54c,
then fell off % points to 13 29c, adj
vanced to 10. Csc. and then fell off to
13 sic. Other months showed similar
fluctuations. The market closed firm
with net gains of to II points.

WARE & LELAND.
Think Nothing Warrants Having
for HiEhtr Prices.


New York. Jan. THE early break
to-day carried the price within II points
of the bottom. Below 13c there was
buying of the better sort, and this
turned the market to 1890. In other
words prices broke 80 points early and
tuation of &c in less than an hour. This
record is enough to startle any one.
1t is not a market to dabble in until
it gets quiet, and gives a man a
chance for his money. With such
fluctuations as we have had this week,
it is enough to make a holder sell out
and only buy on such a smash as we
had this morning.
Below 18c the outlook is a little
different from around lac. We can not
believe in buying on advances, and
think holders should take from every
upturn enough money to repay posi-
BILE mistakes in the future. For a
while, the market. should be a pur-
chase on breaks below 13c. In the event
of war, continued large receipts, there
can readily be a serious break, which
will cause anxiety. But for a while
we are inclined to be less bearish, at
ter a break below 13c
If war is really declared, do not buy
cotton. The situation may change to
such an extent that prices will evapo-
rate rapidly. There is nothing in the
cotton situation to encourage buying
for higher prices. There should be
money in buying on breaks for a turn,
but it must not be forgotten that the
bloom is off the rye, and it looks as
though we were in for period of
lower prices

The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-08

New York, Jan. THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
9Q17 points. This gain was more di-
rectly the result of cable advices from
Liverpool, which were of a better class
than required to match the closing of
the local market the previous day. But
the extent of the response at New York
was not considered satisfactory, and
an active selling movement set in. This
resulted in a sharp decline that car
ried the trading level down to a net
loss of 7@25 points as compared with
the closing figures of the previous day.
Then followed a sharp rally with the
market finally steady at net advance
of 10@14 points. On the decline there
was heavy liquidation, and some pref
ty energetic selling by the bears who
appear to be on the watch for renewed
efforts on the part of the bull parties
to sell. But at the decline the bull
leaders, instead of selling as many ex-
pected they would do, became active
buyers and Immediately started in 10
cover. At the same time a more
peaceful turn in the Russian Japanese
affair, locally interpreted. started
new buying wave from outside sources,
and for time the market was very ac-
tive with local shorts eager to cover
their sales of yesterday and this morn
ing.
New Orleans figured as heavy buyer.
AS indicated by the total transactions,
the market was less than one-half the
record for activity. but closed with a
firm undertone at the advance noted
Sales 700 0O0 balaS aStif1atad
Gables were better than expected by
several points to-day. and paved the
way for a firm opening of the New
York cotton market, which started at
an advance of 9m17 points on active
covering by shorts, and a good run of
buying by commission houses on wire
orders accumulated during the night.
The early firmness was increased by
indications of subsiding interior re-
ceipts, and reports of a frmer spot
market in the South. Immediately fol-
lowing the opening call the market
ruled irregular and lower under lqui-
dation, and by 1920, was dozen points
off from the opening.
Towards noon. the market developed
great strength and activity on cover
ing, and renewed public demand fol-
lowing what were considered to be
more peaceful indications as to affairs
in the Far East. BY l o'clock the
market showed about the same advance
that was current on the opening call.
In the late afternoon less attention
was paid to socalled news from the
Far East which was very conflicting.
Port receipts exceeded official estimates
by several thousand bales, and were
also greater than last year, but this
fact was offset by reports of enormous
exports at New Orleans which, how
ever, did not get in the official total
The average of the afternoon influences
gave steady closing at net advance
of 1904 points. The sales were esti-
mated at 100000 bales.
