Ware & LeIand,s Market Letter.

The market was dull and narrow today
Influences at work were about evenly
divided, and all that the trade could do
was to sit on the fence and walt for
something new to turn up to turn the
balance.
If anything the talent were rather in
clined to watch more closely for bullish
than for bearish features. This was un-
doubtedly due to the strong spot situation
which promises to be one of the most
powerful influences in favor of higher
prices during the coming two or three
weeks. Some operators thought they saw
a promised advance in the cold wave
which is sweeping down toward the cot
ton belt from the Rock mountains and
which experts on the weather agree will
probably Immediately follow wet weather
in Texas. While 1t is altogether too early
to look for anything like killing frosts
the effect of a cold wave is sometime
great at this time of the year and 1t
undoubtedly checks the development of
growing cotton.

TERRORISTS CONDEMN
THE GAR TO DEATH

Gar is insisting that the utmost pre-
cautions be taken by the authorities to
protect him against any attack by the
terrorists, and as a result there has
been mounted at the palace six fortress
guns and fifteen maxims which are so
placed that they command all ap-
proaches. It is understood that these
latest precautions are called forth by
the discovery that the terrorist organ
ization has again condemned Nicholas
to death, and that from papers found
in the possession OF suspects captured
Saturday it was plain that another at
tempt was to be made to kill him dur
ing the coming week.
Inasmuch as it is feared that a gem
eral uprising is soon to be attempted
all of the city garrisons throughout the
empire are being heavily REINFORCED.
