EARLY GAINS MADE BUT ARE SOON LOST Cotton is Less Active After
 Sharp Advance SALES WERE 225,OO0 BALES The Active Selling In Late Trading Caused the Market to Break for a Net Loss of About to 4
 Points.
SALES WERE 225,OOO BALES

New York, October 30.-The cotton mar ket was less active today, and after quite a sharp opening advance, lost the gain under a renewal of liquidation and bear pressure. The close was steady at an advance of points to a decline of point. Sales of the day were reported of R25,0OO bales.
 The opening was steady with an ad- vance of 11113 points in response to high CT cables and reports of frost over the belt. Trading was not active at the ad- vance, but there was no sign of the bear pressure, which was one of the prom inent features of the previous day, and prices steadied up as a result of cover ing, and the forecast for continued cold weather until they showed a. net advance of about 151D1S points. At this level buy CTS of yesterday turned for profits, ana in the later trading there was active selling for both accounts under which the market broke to a net loss or about 3m4 points on the active months.
 The close was or points up rom the lowest as result of proflt-taking by scaIpers on the short side, but the mar ket showed little Improvement in point of tone Receipts at the ports today were s115,657 against 113994 last week, and el,4oS last year. For the week (estimated) 4t5,- GOO bales, against 467, 415 last week. and $50 2SO last year.

Manuel SilyeIra Leaves Havana with
Wife and Children and Officers
Have Thus Far Been Unable to Lo-
cate Him.

The assignment of j. NJ. Ceballos q
Co., of New York. bankers and mer-
chants, with liabilities between $3,-
100000 and $4,000, 900, was announc
I'd Wednesday in a statement which
declared that the failure was due to
the defalcation and absconding Of
Manuel Silveira, of Silveira 81 Co, Ha-
vana, agents Of the New York COM
pany. Slyeira's defalcation Is alleged
to amount to about $1,000,OOO. He
sailed from Havana Oct 2, ostensibly
for New York to consult with the
members of the firm of j. M. Cebailos
K Co, but has not reached that city.
Counsel for the assignee said that Sill
veira has left on his own steamer, the
Camelina, for parts unknown, accom-
panied by his wife and children, and
that every effort was being made to
locate him.
The members OF the firm Of j. M.
Ceballos 81 Co. are j. M. Ceballos,
John s. Fiske and Anderson G. Will
son.
The assignee is William NJ. Row, of
the firm of Sullivan & Cromwell. of
New York City. Mr.. Row said We
nesday that the assets of the firm
were of a very substantial kind, but
after hasty examination he thought
they would require careful husband
ng. Accountants are now at work
IN the books OF the company. 1t was
stated unofIicially that there was
ground to hope that the assets would
be sufficient to cover the losses of the
firm and that it would be enabled t.
resume business
j. M Ceballos & Co. was establish
I'd about fifty years ago and has large
interests in Cuba, chiefly in the deyel-
opment OF railroads and sugar plan
tations. 1t operates line of steamers
between New York mad Spanish ports
and has European connections as wei
as with South America.

CANNOT CORNER CEMENT.
Monopoly OF the Industry is Not
Probable.

A Bulletin issued by the geological
survey Of Washington. d. c., on the
Concentration of cement interests
declares that setting aside as imprac-
ticable the question OF trusts and COM
binatiOns based on monopoly of raw
materials, it can be said that there is
noticeable a certain concentration of
Interests in the cement industry and
that this probably will become more
marked year by year. Eighty-eight
plants in existence in 1905 are owned
by seventy eight companies, and sew
eral Of these nominally Independent
companies are closely connected by
ownership"
The bulletin continues: The nature
Of the cement industry renders it i'm
proba Bile that any combination or nom
competitive ARRANGEMENT can be car
ried to such point as to result in u
monopoly of the industry and perma-
ucntly high prices. Good raw ma
terials are so widely distributed in the
United States that there is hardly a
county which could not produce Port
land cement If prices were forced nigh
enough. The only limitation now on
the erection Of cement plants is the
fact that their great cost makes VEN
lures prohibitive for the individual or
for a small firm.
"Of the seventy-eight companies,
fifteen produced over two-thirds of the
entire American Portland cement out
put. Seven Of these showed an an
nual output of over 100000 barrels
each, and these seven together pro-
duce somewhat over half the entire
output Of the country"

IN BLOODY STRIKE BATTLE.
TWO Men Killed and Several Fatai'!
Hurt.


Two men were killed and a dozen
wounded in conflict between striking
mill hands and provincial police at
McLaren's saw mills at buckingham
Quebec, Monday noon.
The drastic measures taken by the
authorities TO quell the riotous strik-
ers has had a telling effect and no
further trouble is expected.
Five OF the wounded men are in a
serious condition. The strike at the
mill began on Sept Is. The work
mems strike fund and their small
savings had vanished and they had be
gun To feel the pinch Of hunger and
cold. The announcement made that
the mill owners would import labor
10 start the mills put the men in q
desperate frame of mind. A meeting
was called at which incendiary speech
es we're made. About the middle OF
the afternoon the men decided to clear
out the strike breakers. A mob of 200
armed men, with revolvers and othel
weapons, rushed up the hill leading
to the mills.
The mill owners, who had looked
for violence, had posted forty detect
ives and special policemen on the out
skirts of their property. There was
no parleying. The first rush of the
strikers was met by a volley from
the revolvers in the hands of the po-
lice. Belanger, who was leading the
mob. fell ut the first volley, with two
bullets in his head. He died where
he fell.
The strikers sought shelter and
opened fire on the police, many OF
whom were hit.

Want Municipal Courts in Cities or
South Dakota.
The Minnehaha County Bar aSsoc'a-
ton at it's annual meeting, which was
held in the state circuit court room
in the county building in Sioux FANS,
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year: President Fl Z. Judge;
vice presidents, Z. r. Winans and w.
F. McNaughton; secretary, John II.
Voorhees,; treasurer, J. II. Gates.
The association inaugurated
movement which it is hoped will be
taken up by every attorney in the
state. The object of the movement
is to secure a change in the state con-
stitution which will authorize the es-
tablishing of municipal courts in ev-
cry city in the state having a popula-
ton OF more than 5000. The proposed
municipal court will be substituted for
the present city justice courts and
will have paramount jurisdiction in
municipal affairs, with the county
court in county affairs and the state
circuit court in state affairs.
