fraud. Your attention is also specific
ally called to the official quotations IN
said exhibit of the futures market and
spot market of the New orleans cotton
exchange noting the close proximity
between futures and splits of that
market.
I've further charge that out OF the
advertised stock of cotton at present
stored in the warehouses of New York
city-amounting to 114,O0O bales, fully
10000 bales Of said cotton is of such in
ferior GRADES as to render the staple
unfit for spinning or manufacturing
purposes, and that a considerable pro
portion of said cotton has been held in
said warehouses for years. This is
useless other than to make quotations
by. We ask that you, as postmaster
general of the United States, send
representative of your department 10
the warehouses of New York and
have all the cotton stored there in
speeted and graded in order to official
l. determine the character of the I'M
spinable and unmarketable grades OF
cotton stored in that market to tender
under the fraudulent contracts of the
New York cotton exchange under the
present practice of chat exchange

ment and injury of the legitimate cot

In addition to the formal charges,
many letters and affidavits in support
of them were submitted to Postmaster
General Cortelyou. Representative Liv-

Invited to Send in Complaints in New
York Cotton Affair.

New York. Jan. 2,-Walter c. Hub
bard, president of the New York Cot
ton exchange, announced to-day that
he has asked Postmaster General Cor
telyou to send him copies of any COM
plants which might have been made to
him against the New York Cotton ex-
change. This action was taken upon
the publication of reports that an APP
LEGATION will be made to the postmaster
general, in behalf Of cotton-growing in
terests in the south, Tor the issuance of
a fraud order against the New York
Cotton exchange denying 1t the use OF
the United States mails 1t was said
to have been charged that cotton de-
livered on contracts and sold on the
floor of the New York Cotton exchange
is not of the grade called for by the
contracts. On publication Of these re-
ports President Hubbard first sent a
telegram to Mr.. Cortelyou and then, on
December 81, wrote to him saying:
"Our members are of the best-known
merchants here, of the trade in the
south and abroad. They are proud of
the past and of the present of their or
ganizatlon, They are upright business
men, They need no defense or apology,
and they ask the nature Of the charges,
which are ignorantly made They will
protect themselves, and they indignant
ly protest against the calumny as cal
culated for their injury"
1t was recalled on the New York Cot
Z
ton exchange to-day that an agitation
somewhat similar to the present one
was stirred up against the exchange If
teen years ago. At that time a COM
mittee investigated the question wheth-
er or not the contracts ought to be
changed so as to exclude the delivery
of low grades Of cotton. The commit
tee reported against the proposed
change and declared the contract was
adopted in order to give the producer
an opportunity of securing a price sat-
isfactory to him for his growing crops,
and 1t enables him to deliver all mer-
charitable grades. To restrict the de-
livery to a grade not below low mid
ding, it was declared, would DO the
producer great injury.

A large and appreciative audience
was present last night at the United
church chapel to hear Mrs. Anne Rix
.Militz lecture upon 1.-THE Renewal of
the Body"
Inc lecturer was introduced by the
REV. Mr.. A. j. Haynes, who congrat-
uiated the speaker on the large au-
dlence present to greet her. He said
that his part in the evenings enter

herald of ancient times whose duty
was fulfilled when he had blown the
single blast upon the trumpet an
nouncing the arrival of the knight, and
whose duty it was to then retire
Mrs. Militz acknowledged in a grace

expression in the body, and as we ac-
custom ourselves to right thinking we
purify the body Our bodies are the
