Houston After New Courthouse

Last Friday at Houston Circuit Court
which has been in session the past ten
days, adjourned. Allie Smith who was
charged with the killing OF Evans
Buchanan near that city about two
years ago, was tried and convicted of
granddaughter and given sentence of
FIVE years in the penitentiary.
Smith was tried twelve months ago
on a charge of murder and was then
convicted OF granddaughter and was
sentenced to imprisonment in the
penitenita for a term of
fifteen years. On appeal to the Su'
preme Court the case was reversed.
It is not thought that Smith will ap-
peal again.
The Grand jury in it's report recon
mended the building of new court
house and new jail in Houston. Judge
Sykes, in commenting upon that
feature of the grand jury'S report,
took occasion to remind them of the
fact he was just two years in advance
of them on that proposition. The pro-
position will be voted on at the next
election in this county.
The criminal docket at this term of
the court was not very heavy, but the
civil docket waa larger than it has
been in twenty years.

FLUCTUATIONS ARE WIDE IN STOCKS Neither Advances Nor Declines Were Long Pursued
  TRANSACTIONS ARE LARGE  General List Was Comparatively Dull and Simply Moved in Sympathy With the Wider Aver
 ages.
TRANSACTIONS ARE LARGE

New York February Lit is rarely that prices fiuctuate so widely and so constantly as was the case in the deal ings on the stock exchange today. Half R dozen times or more during the day the current of the market changed it's course Neither declines nor advances were long pursued.
 Transactions were very large in a few active stocks but the constant fluctuation had the effect of unsettling speculative sentiment, and diseouraging attempts to read the temper of the market. The general list was comparatively dull in eonsequence and simply moved in sym pathy with the wider averages in the RctiSe speculative fayorltes. It was as serted that some very large transactions on either side of the market in the promi- nent active stocks were closed out with in a brief time. The inference was drawn from these evidences that room traders were making up the market to very large extent. and that the principal operations originated in the board room itself. The important fac tors in the movements of the day were made up almost entirely on rumors or vague suppositlons, few of which were confirmed by the events or by any defi- mite announcements. Great play was made on the assumption that negotiations were in progress for a settlement of the long standing disputes in the copper trade, which would do away with the expensive litigation and costly reprisals

COTTON PRICES
 ABOUT UNCHANGED Opening Yesterday Was Weak
 at Decline BEARS COVER SHORT LINES Leader Counts on Possibility of Bull ish Showing By Census Report on Cotton Remaining to
 Be oinned.
 
BEARS COVER SHORT LINE

New York, February l-The cotton market was more active and ruled very irregular with prices covering a wide range, but closing at practically yester- days figures. a net decline of one point to an advance of one point
 The opening was weak at a decline of 5d10 points on active months and 3 points lower on the new crop in response to lower Liverpool cables. The initial loss uncovered more stop orders and during the early session the market ruled very nervous and weak with March selling off to 1071, and May to 10.SS, or about 15dl6 points net lower. Big local interests were heavy buyers at the decline and it was reported that leading Liverpool houses were more favorably disposed to the market on the ground that the liquida- ton had been nearly completed anu prices rallied during the late afternoon. After midday the market turned quite nrm on reports that the census bureau would issue a statement tomorrow giving an estimate on the amount of cotton re- maining to be ginned after January 16, and March advanced to 10.92 and May  to 11.0s or about 20 points up from the lowest. The market failed to hold all the recovery owing to realizing by early buyers, but the closing tone was steady. Just before the close the local bear leader issued a circular saying that he had covered his entire short line, not because he had changed his opinion re- garding the ultimate course of the mar ket, but owing to the possibility of a bullish showing by the census report on cotton remaining to be glnned Receipts at the ports, 14065 bales against lS276 last week and 12,S50 last year. For the week, (estimated). 100000 against 1l1,0S5 last week and 15o605 last year. Today's 8 receipts at New Orleans 2140 bales against S732 last year and at Houston S565 bales against 2694 last year.

which have characterized this trade war The coppers opened both on the stock exchange and on the curb market with an upward rush in force at the close last night The abrupt reactions due to the heavy unloading which met these ad- vances dashed the speculative confidence. The reports were revived in all their variety. including an alleged plan for a wholesale merger of eoupper, smelting, mining and lead companies.
 Reading was another active center of speculation and moved as uncertainty as the coppers.
 It's early decline was connected with the tone of the published remarks of the President of the United Mine work CTS on the negotiations for a labor set clement The market control of the stock has again asserted in the puoyant re bound. The circulation of a report that congressional resolution was in pros pect for information on the Union Pacific control of the Southern Pacific, on the same lines as the Pennsylvania railroad inquiry, was responsible largely for the early heaviness in that group. The Northwestern Pacifics were strong throughout. The United States steel made a good resistance, although these stocks were subjected to heavy selling early with the rest of the market. The aDSOrpJlOn or lneill leu to liSh ShON VT strength in the late dealings. In general however, the principal strength of the later market was shown by the stocks which were under pressure earlier
 The decline at first seemed to be re- garded as a point of vantage for the up ward movement later. Money continued easy and foreign exchange yielded fur ther The heavy absorption by the sub- treasury did not affect this result. Be sides that institutions gain since the last bank statement of $3,6l3600, it had a credit balance at the clearing house to- day of a practically equal amount, caus- ed by the payment to the government of a Central Pacific note on account of the working out of the settlement of the governments land grant claim The for eigh market was also unaffected by the hardening of the discount rate in Lon don, although this had the effect of nov ing the sterling exchange rate from Paris in favor of London. These move ments again were in spite of an improve ment in condition of the Bank of England and a deterioration in the Bank of France. The speculative taste for deal rumors asserted itself again in the late buoyancy of the Pacihcs and the irregu- larity of the market was maintained by the renewed selling of Amalgamated cop per under cover of this market.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,990.0O0
 United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

Signals of distress were hotsteo at the opening in all markets this morning the disturbance having reached it's maximum velocity and sent March down to 107S compared with 10.9s at close of yesterday and 11.SS about week ago. during which short period values suffered a loss of about 120 points.
 An authority on statistics had issued a report to the effect that there remained about per cent of the crop to be glnned at the close of January which was construed as bearish
 Mir. Price sends out the following: '1 feel it to be due to my friends to take this method of announcing that have covered my entire short interest in the market.
 'I have done this, not because my views as to the relation between the sup ply of cotton and the demand are on any degree modified but because: First after a decline of cent a pound in the mar ket all rules of speculative experience point to the probability of a substantial reaction; second, because 1t is obvious that spinners are disposed to buy more llberally on the basis of II cents a pound and finally because it is possible that that resolution passed in the house of representatives today at Washington, call ing upon the census departments for it's estimate of the quantity of cotton .un- ainned on the 25th of January may result in a temporary troublesome of email crop ideas.

LOveman 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

New Orleans, February 1.--Today's cot ton market was very strenuous af- fair. What might be called the remnant of the old long interest was thrown overheard early in the day. when March contracts sold as low as 107S At about this level, heavy buying orders appeared around the local ring @ good many of which came from New York and the mar ket gradually recovered. Local bears sold on the rise but were finally thrown into consternaton by a report from New York to the effect that Theodore II. Price announced that he had covered his entire short interest. A wild scramble for cotton ensued and the efforts of be- lated shorts covered freely March con tracts selling at 11.12 or at an advance of 1 points from the bottom. Scalpers on the long side took profits before the close, which was steady at a net gain for the day of 8 to 10 points Spots were officially reported steady and 5-16 lower on all grades. Sales amounted to 425O bales of spots and 2SOO bales to arrive on the basis of 10% for middling A radical readjustment of cotton values took place in all three of the markets today The break under Il cents developed the fact that with any further decline the market would meet with strong support, not only from a certain class of specula- tors but also from legitimate traders who have held aloof from the bull side until now. Doubtless this had some weight with MT. Price who wisely decided to realize his profits while he was sure of them.

Gilbert 6 clay's Market Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, February 1.
 Spot sales of 1b,000 bales in Liverpool this morning were excellent. Options, however, opened about as expected but in sympathy with the decline in American markets eased off later and closed at a decline of 13 points over yesterday. There can be no doubt but that the undertone of the foreign marked IS decidedly the best of the three. Nevertheless prices have been so unmercifully hammered there by the American rings that all of the starch has been taken out of the situation and their confidence has been more or less shaken as evidenced by cables.
 Those who entertained any hopes that the heavy liquidation of the last few days would be conspicuous by its absense this morning were destined to have their hopes shattered, for it looked at one time as if there was nothing to stem the tide of selling orders that seemed to come from everywhere. After March contracts had been depressed well in to the eigh- ties, however, some few friends of the staple came to the rescue doubtlessly en- couraged by the rumored report that the bear leader would issue a circular re- fecting a change of sentiment and this together with the news from New York that brokers who had been heavy sellers Ntic AAoH it1hiiB oi ldibt stimulated fresh buying power that lent material support to the market
 A part from the preponderance of bear ishly inclined information that has been in evidence lately and the consequent de- pressing influence that it has exerted on the trade generally, there is no certainty that such shrinkage of values as we have had can be justified by conditions, and it is more than lakey that when con tidenee has been finally restored sub stantial increase in values will follow.
