HID IN THE CALLIOPE
NEGROES FOUND BY POLICE IN A
 QUEER PLACE.
siua Saxon and John Moore, Relieved te Be Men Who Robbed Country Blacks, Found in, the
 Music Box.

Negroes shrewd enough to hide themselves among the pipes of steam calliope are shrewd enough to extract money from eredulous ones of their race.
 This is the reasoning of the Mont gomery police, who pulled Sim Saxon and John Moore, black men. from a steam calliope late Wednesday night. and hurried them to police headduar r -s ters, where they are held. It is be-. lieved they are the negroes who made a wholesale haul of money from coun- try negroes on circus tday. getting in
 It is believed that Saxon and Moore wers hangeFs-on with the circus The steam cailiope had been loaded on the car of Ringling Brothers in the Mobile and Ohio Railroad yards and the ear was soon to be drawn away for Tusca- loosa.
 The circus men had drawn a canvass around the caiiope to protect 1t from the weather. Saxon and Meare lay down on the floor of the steam plano and were soon dreaming of what they would do when they awoke in Tusca- loosa tho next morning.
 But in the meantime Police Captatn W. Fl. Taylor had gained knowledge of the whereabouts of the negroes. He gathered Police Offlcers McDade, Jack son, Avant. Graham. Cantey and Will Hanson. The men were formed for an emergency and, headed by Captain Taylor. they proceeded to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad yards. Arriving there. they were informed as tosthe lo- cation of the steam piano car and steaIthily wended their way through the dark until they came upof, Ia car which answered the descrfption In second the officers had mounted the en- trance to the car and in another in- stant they were inside the steam piano. They took the negroes unawares and soon had them in custody. There was no attempt at resistance and Saxon and Moore were marched to police head quarters where charges of suspicion were docketed against them.
 Both negroes answer the descriptions given by the country negroes who were robbed. None of the country negroes could be found yesterday, but Saxon and Moore will be held at the police station until they are identified
 If the negroes were puffed with pride over their haul in Montgomery, their pride has fallen.

 MoNTGOMERIANs IN ATLANTA.
 The Atlanta Journal of yesterday has the following to say of concert in which three Montgomery artists took part;
 The concert given at Marist Hall by a group of we'll known northern artists was the mort delightful thing, mnsi- eally. since the May festival. MT. Wiley, the baritone; Mir. and Mrs. Eilenberg. panists; Miss Fannie Marks, violInist. and MT. Macleau, accompanisty are artists. every one of them, and they gave a most finished, satisfying per formance. Mir Wiley could not be said to have quite won his audience e his first group of songs. He was too aloof and composed. but in the second group he was all fire and dash and his great mellow tones rolled out as if he were inspired. His singing of "Lorno," by Newton, brought the audience to their feet. They yelled for more--and more of the same thing, and Mir. Wiley graciousIy repeated the song. The reception of his King Charles" was almost as enthusiastic. It was a song of heroic measure, on the order of Danny Deever,' and suited his baritone to perfection. And nothing could have been sweeter than his Land O the Leal," which he gave as an encore A pretty compliment to local talent was the group of songs which closed the program. all of them set to music by Dr. J. Lewis Browne, and written by Frank l.. Stanton. Alice Bacon Cox, Stuart Mcclean, Rudolph Steinhagen and William F. Collins. In this group Dr. Browne was accompanist. and the performance of the two artists was fitting close to rare evening.
 Although the news went forth that 1t was "a Clifford Wiley concert" that great singer was not everything, MT. and Mrs. Eilenberg were fine, Mrs. Eilenberg particularly exhibiting re- markable technique.
 And Miss Marks was as delightful to

COTTON TRADING
WAS MORE ACTIVE
Bears Had TO ReIinquish Their
OnsIaughts
DEMAND WAS TOO GREAT
In Late Trading FIrmness Was En-.
countered BY Small Estimate for
Receipts and Firm Advices
From Southern Spot.
DEMAND WAS TOO GREAT

New York, January 3.-The cotton mar
ket closed fairly active and generally
firm with final prices at the top notch
of the day. The opening was steady at an
advance of two to eight points which was
little more than a response to the
cables. These had shown notable firm
ness early accompanied by an advance
OF from twelve to fifteen points on ac-
tive covering. Later, however. there was
reaction and at the hour of the local
opening the English market was six
points higher when due to come about
four to five points higher
Locally the far eastern news seemed to
have little influence, but the small in
terror receipts and talk that bull clique
had been formed to cary the cotton into
the new season in connection with the
small Southern offerings promoted more
o.. less buying from the shorts and Wall
Street buying for long account Shortly
after the opening the bears made a drive
at the list. breaking prices from nine
to ten points from the best, but there
was such good demand at the decline
that the effort was abandoned and latter
sellers seeing TO be buying for an up
ward movement. In the lafe trading,
firmness was encountered by the small
estimate for receipts anu firm advices
from Southern spot markets. The market
was finally firm at a net advance of eigh-
teen TO twenty-four points or about forty
to fifty points above the lowest prices
of last week Sales were estimated at
about 100000 bales. Exports for the day
were comparatively light but ran very
heavy for Saturday and Monday. After
closing there was considerable business
on the curb and transactions were re-
ported fully five points above the Off
cial figure.
Receipts at ports today, 26579 bales.
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1l,577,
against 22,243 last year and at Houston,
