Joining New Haven and Hartford
 Directorate Is Significant.
 New York, Jan. At was generally reported in financial circles today that President A. J. Cassatt of the Penn sylvania Railroad will shortly be elect ed a director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company as the result of accumulation of New Haven stock by the Pennsylvania.

 Others Are Accused.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 4.-George H.
 Williams, ex-Chief Justice of Oregon Attorney General in President Grants second cabinet, Mayor of Portland, and man with the snow of S3 winters
 upon his head, was indicted by the County grand jury of Multaomah County today on the charge of mal- feasance in office.
 The indictment states that July 13.
 1904. Judge Williams was Mayor of
 Portland, and while acting in that ca pacity, refused to enforce the statutes | regulating gambling.
 This law, which was passed at the last session of the Legislature, gives
 the Mayor power to close disorderly
 houses within four miles of the city.
 and it Is alleged that he failed to
 avail himself of that power. An indictment against Chief of Po-
 lice Hunt Is almost identical with that returned against Mayor Williams
 charging that he knowingly permitted | a gambling game to be conducted at the Portland Club. Peter Grant and Nathan Solomon are the proprietors of | the club. Solomon recently has been | convicted of conducting a gambling house.
 Indictments were also rendered | against W. c. Elliott. recently de- posed as City Englneer, his inspectors.

NERVOUSNESS N COTTON MARKET Close Was at Considerable Net

RUSSIAN NEWS IS BEARlSH
Receipts Were Slightly Above the Estimates, But Exports Were Full-SoutHern Spots
 Very Steady.

New York, October R6.-The cotton mar ket continued aciivel showing nervous ness. The market wdal1ened in the later trading. The close was at net loss of "A to 27 points. Sales were estimated at 500, GOO bales.
 The opening was weak at decline, with all the active mouths 13 to b points net lower on the call under realizing and bear pressure inspired by dsappoint- ing cables. There vert heavy overnight buying orders, however, and during the first half hour the market worked back to within 3 to 5 poinls of last nights s finals following which 1t ruled very ir- regular during the latf morning. Real ization continued very heavy, however, and with certain local bear operators credited with selling on every little bube the market gradually yielded, and to- ward the close January sold at 1OH, or 27 points net lower and 31 points below the high level of yesterday. The close was within a point or two of the lowest and barely steady in tone The strike news from Russia was considered bear factor and had some influence in Liver pool. The weather wfls considered fa- vorable, but while receipts were slight ly above estimates exports were full, and Southern spot markets ruled steady to firm and generally higher.
 The receipts at the ports today were 4, 516 bales; fer the week (estimated), 3Oo000, against 319615 last week and 399 6S7 last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans 9052, against 10.712 last year, and at Houston, 1522O, against 10,9s4 last year.

LONDON IS HEAVY SELLER
"A Spirit of Great Conservatism Was Manifest Towards the Iron and Steel and Railroad Equip
 ment Materials.

New York October 26.-The stock market today showed the chilling effect in sentiment of the sharp break in prices which developed late yesterday There were occasional isolated points of strength, but they were not effective at any time as an offset to the general heavy tone. Weakness in the general list was not acute, but there was some conspicuous declines as well as advances. The coalers made a further demonstra- tion of strength, but the movement showed signs of over extension and lost It's force in the absence of any develop ment to explain it. Rumors continued prevalent of further consolidation of the anthracite interests, but no authority was found for any of the reports in cir culation. The statement of net earnings for Ontario and Western in September showing a decrease by reason of the op- erating expenses outgrowng the increase In gross earnings possibly had some influ- once on the group. The growing dispo- Bition to exercise more discrimination in the operations to advance industrial ptocks was encouraged by the poor show Ing of earnings reported yesterday.
 A spirit of great conservatism was manifest towards the iron and steel and
 
 ident of the principal companies came forward with a flat assertion that equip ment was being exaggerated and calcu- lated to do damage by stimulating a rise in the price,
 The local public utilities were further affected by sentiment that the munich pal ownership party might be successful in the coming city election. A judicial decision as to liability of individual mem. bers of speculative pool. which was an- nounced during the trading, was the sub 5ect of comment upon the exchange, and was said to cause some uneasiness in the ranks of speculative pools, which have been very active of late.
 London was a seller to notable extent in this market, principally on account of the uneasiness excited by the upheava in Russia. The progress of the settlement on the stock exchange in London held III the rate for call money there, and the open market discount rate also was above the bank rate. The bank return was weak showing a loss in bullion of upwards oi million dollars, coincidfnt with an ex pansion of the banks cAdits to the ex tent of $17,670,000, thus bringing down the priportion of reserve to liabilities iron f32l per cent last week to 40.17 per cent

Gilbert 6. Claws Market Letter.

The English market came in as expect ed which would have caused our mar kets to open unchanged but for decline of six English points, which occurred be- fore the close of the Liverpool market
 The opening in our markets was irreg- ular at from to 15 points down. Price manufactured and sent out bearish infor- nation and hammered the market unmer- cfully in an effort to break prices. In this he was partially successful, as the decline after the opening amounted to nearly a dollar bale.
 We consider weak periods like this as affording favorable opportunities to buy cotton. Both our New Orleans and New York offices state that the country is getting into stronger position daily, and in the wind up cotton will be hard to get.
 Notwithstanding the decline in futures, spots in New Orleans were marked up an eighth, and we believe the more free movement of spots in the last few days imparts much more strength to the sit uation, and we look for determined re- sistance against any effort to depress spots below an interior basis of 10c.

The Bank of Germany, on the other hand. showed strong recuperation, it's cash on hand increasing 11765,000. The tone of money was maintained in this market, but sterling exchange made a further advance and expectation grew out of an early announcement of gold exports. With the subsistence of the midmonthly tide of pension payments, the sub-treasury has also commenced again to withdraw cash from the New York money market, prom ising thus to neutralize the contributions of the earlier part of the week by that institutions These developments caused some apprehension of renewal of money stringency at the period of the monthly settlement.
