The increased sales of spots at Liver pool have been at the expense of values, although the decline is only a trihe of a couple of points, Futures in Liverpool have been quite listless and closed 2 points down, or just about as expected An early prediction of fair feather for the cotton belt caused prices during the morning to decline points, but news of hard rains last night in the Atlantic states adding further to the difficulties of planters. who have not been able to do any blowing since last Saturday and an- other rainy spell coming in from the west over the territories and Texas, caused some short covering, and the re- covery of the early loss.
 Sales of spots were reported from New Orleans at full quotations which if true means that spots are going off at the same prices as ruled two weeks ago, all though In the meantime, futures have de- clned "a of cent There was no snap, however. to the market and prevailing sentiment was not one of confidence

PEARODY'S PLAN
TO CONTEST ADAMS ELECTION
Purposes to Begin Proceedings At
Once and Demand Full and Thor
ough Investigation.

ough Investigation.
Denver, Jan. lO.-Governor James II.
Peabody yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
To the People of Colorado:
For two years, as chief executive oi
this state. l have endeavored to en-
force the laws, maintain good order
and establish prosperity for Colorado.
Yet, for some reason bitter and un'
fair political war has been waged
against me.
Investigation OF the conduct OF the
recent election has convinced me that
have been fairly reelected governor
of this state. and l am satisfied that
the election returns as first pubiishea
are not truthful.
II Is my purpose to at once inaus'
urate a contest, so that all the facts
about the election may be presented
fully and fairly to the Legislature ana
to tho public.
The frauds practiced against me
were 10 manifest that IL was first pro
posed to have been thoroughly inves'
iigated before the publishing Of the re
turns by the Legislature: and the
claim that this method OF inyc5tiSn-
tion. ns originally contemplated by the
Legislature is unconstitutional. Is not
well founded.
Yet this claim became so wide
spread that this method wns aban-
doncd. so that even unjust criticism
could not be made against the loyalty
TO tho constitution and to the best In
tercsts of the state OF those whose de-
sircs are for the uplifting and better
mcnt OF the commonwealth.
We have now adopted tho very line
of action which those seeking 10 con.
ccai the truth regarding the frauds and
outrages OF the recent election have
cmphntically declared TO be constitu'
tional. All I desire is the truth. that
the people shall know.
The only manner In which to rcvoa!
II is to continue n searching cSnminR.
ton OF all phases OF the recent frauds
and election dcbauchcry. until the
public asccrtains the contents OF every
ballot box. and ali the circumstances
surrounding the accomplishment OF the
spurious results obtained.
! appeal to the people OF Colorado to
await the result without prejudice and
then TO support with public opinion
whichever one OF the gubcrnatorial
candidates has received n majority Of
[ tho honest votes. ! refuse to believe
that tho best interests OF Colorado can
I be subscrycd by quietly sumitting to
nm alleged adverse majority which
even n partial investigation has nj.
ready disclosed IN but a myth-a trav.
csty on Republican form of govern.
mcnt. nm insult TO the intelligence OF
the public and braxcn. open and dcs.
pcratc attack on tho pcrpctui,y OF our
institutions and the purity OF our elect.
leo franchise. For myself. I desire no
Office tainted with fraud.
/ The anarchy Of the ballot box stufrcr
liz ns farrcnching as the anarchy OF
tho dynnmitcr. and ! shall continue my
light to cradicpss.. both from the con
lines OF Colorado. Respectfully.
