The report of the Census Bureau, issued at

October IS 494072S bales against ,Ss1 bales
10 the date last year, caused startling fuctua
tons in the late session of yesterdays cotton mar
ket. Before the report issued the market had
been nervous and unsettled, owing to rumors that
the report would show fully 100000 bales ginned;
and prices just before the report issued showed
a net loss of 19 or 20 points, with January selling
al io.S3c. Inside of minutes after the figures
were published January shot UP 81 points, to 70c.
Shorts active buyers and longs took fresh
lines. On the bulge. however, leading bears began
TO sell heavily again and the market reacted almost
as rapidly it had advanced.
When around 1050c for January the market turned
strong again overwhelming volume of gen.

FAIL TO FIND FUGITIVE.
Armed Posse Hunting Man an NezC-
HAMPSHIRE Mountains.

AIstead, N H, Oct. 3.-F1eeing through the for
ests in the southwestern corner Of the Granite
State to escape capture by armed posse. George
Ford who last night shot Fred ]. Shortcleeve and
then defed the sheriff, who came TO arrest him,
managed to evade his pursuers throughout the day,
and when darkness fell the chase abandoned
until tomorrow. Ford only few times
during the day, and was always SO far in advance
of the posse as to evade capture.
Nearly every available man in this vilge Joined
in the pursuit to-day. A reward has been offered
by the seIectmen for the apprehension Of the
fugitive and the opinion expressed tonight
that to-rorrow's search would result in his arrest
Despite the close watch that was kept the
besieged man throughout last night, when it was
thought that every avenue of escape from the
hotel where he had barricaded himself in his
room closed TO him. Ford managed to take
advantage of a momentary relaxation of vigilance
early this morning, and dash into the woods He
had evidently watched patiently for his oppor-
tunity. for the moment that one of the left
his post for food, Ford lowered himself out OF the
window by a rope made Of sheets and effected his
escape
The authorities believe that Ford has headed in
the direction of NARROW where he is known to
have friends. close watch has been placed
all the places he was known TO frequent, and
it is felt that if he leaves the woods he will
surely be captured.
