COTTON VALUES STILL
ON UPWARD MARCH
Large Sales Spots Locally
At an Advance.
Chilled BY the Indifference

Chilled by the Indifference of
Liverpool the cotton markets on
this side of the water opened gener-
ally at losses yesterday. However,
the depression proved but temporary
and prices after the first hour grew
much firmer. The close was at the
best, the shorts being unwilling to
go over to Monday unprotected, while
the desire to take profits was res
trained by the feeling that an even
better basis for selling would be
afforded during the coming week. 1t
is regarded as practically sure that
the English market will shake off
the influence of the bearish dope"
upon which it has been fed from this
side, and hurry to catch up with the
procession In which event the Am
erican markets would no doubt do a
little more sprinting on their own
account. Though somewhat bearish
private crop estimate was issued dur
ing the morning it was without eff
feet, the sentiment for very moder-
ate crop being irresistible.
New York opened 1 to points low
er but after little uncertainty work
ed upward. All positions except jan
uary passed the II cent line, and
moreover held that level. The close
was steady II to IA points net higher
for the session. Spot prices were
marked up 10 points. New Orleans
opened and points lower for
January and March, but to points
higher for other positions, December
B leading.
The market at once started higher,
but small reactions at times due to
profit-taking occurred. Towards the
close a sharp advance came, landing
prices at the last 10 to Is points
above the close for Friday the tone of
the market being steady. Spot quo
tations were unchanged from the day
before.
Liverpool opened unchanged to l IL
points up Prices were soon de-
pressed and when the close came
prices were 2 to points net lower
for the day, the November-D December
option showing the largest loss.
The tone was barely steady. Spots
were points higher with sales of
1000 bales
Something of a scramble for cotton
DISTINGUISHED the Americas market
Yesterday, some 400 bales changing
hands during the trading hours. The
bulk of the sales were on the basis
of II is cents for good middling,
though limited quantity also sold
at an advance of Is of a cent over
the price named All offerings were
absorbed. The quotations are adj
vanced IA of a cent over Fridays
figures. The receipts for the day by
wagon were 151 bales.

GOVERNMENT AND
STATE DEADLOCK
Lawyer JOIine Thinks u. S.
is Bigger.

NEW YORK, Nov. .-(SpeciaD -
ooh, WeH what's the matter is that
down there are a lot of Southern
gentlemen who think they're it, said
Adrian H. Joline at his home last
night. Joline, Larkin e Rathbone OF
Wall street, who are of counsel for the
interested corporations in Alabama
with ex-senator John c.. Spooner and
some others.
They'll just have to be taken
down, that's all 1t is simply a ques-
ton as to whether the United States
is bigger than one State. The mat
ter has now been put up to the
United States in the concrete form
and one side or the other will have
to back down. The President does
not always stand by his Judges as
much as he should. Sometimes he
plays to the States But the matter
has been brought up in such shape
now that he can hardly get around
standing by this United States Court
order.
I'm this case Alabama has passed a
lot of laws relating both to freight
and passenger rates, which are sim
ply tOHiloCdIOIy III IiISiI udCulG. lucy
have cut down the rates to such an
extent that the roads will either have
to stop doing business or run at a
loss. In such contests in other states
a compromise has generally been
reached.
THE Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United tSates pro-
vides that no State shall deprive any
person of property without due pro-
cess of law
"a United States. Judge has enjoined
the execution of some of these laws
for the time being. Whether United
States courts will finally decide that
the laws are confiscatory, thus sid
ing with the interested corporations,
or that they are fair and just, thus
siding with the State, is yet to be de-
termined. Pending that, I hardly
think that the State will try to over
ride a United States court order"

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Liverpool
again threw a bomb into the bull
camp but the leading operators here
paid little or no attention to the
foreigners and while the opening was
two or three points off, still the mar
ket displayed strength and January
after selling as low as 1913, advanced
to 1898, closing practically at the
high point. Messrs. Newberger and
Company came out with their esti-
mate of 12,4O0,000 bales, but the trade
paid no attention to those confirmed
bears. That the market is bull one
no one dares to doubt just now and
while there may be reactions from
time to time, still those that buy on
all such will find there ere Christmas
time, they will have to buy sacks to
put their winnings in, instead OF
stockings. Once Liverpool wakes up
as to the real size Of this crop, then
look out for the fire works, as they
will go off during the day instead OF
night. Buy and should the market de-
cline a few points, buy more and as
each day closes you will see your
bank account grow larger.

CONSCRiPTION FOR
UNITED STATES ARMY
Suggestion in Report of
Adjt. General.

WASHINGTON d. c., Nov 30
(SpeciaD The difficulty of securing
recruits for the army, the prevalence
of desertion with the reasons there
for, and a suggestion that the Euro
pean system of compulsory military
service may become necessary to
maintain the American army as its
maximum strength, are features of
the annual report of Adjt. General
Ainsworth to the Secretary of War
Says the adjutant general:
Notwithstanding the most siren
uous efforts on the part of the War
Department and the recruiting Off
GERS and their parties in all parts of
the country, it has been found inn
possible wholly to make good the
losses occurring in the present
strength of the army, to say nothing
of increasing that strength to the
limit authorized. The government, in
its efforts to procure men for the
army, is now competing everywhere
with private employers, who are
able to offer much greater induce
ments than the government. If the
present conditions continue, there
Will ne HOIHlUS lOI Iub BONel uHlbiiJ
to do but to meet this competition
by materially increasing the soldiers
pay, or to evade competition altoge-
Their by CONSUMPTION.
Decrease in DesertiOns
During the last fiscal year there
were 4,522 desertions-5.6 per cent
of the army, as against IA per cent
during the preceding year.
Reasons assigned by the adjutant
general for desertion and deficiency
in army recruits are: Low rate of
pay, dissatisfaction with hard prac-
tice marches, drills, and fatigue du-
ties; frequent changes of company
officers, and the lack of capable nom
commissioned officers.
The actual strength of the entire
military establishment on October Is
was 58,99S men, including 1880 off,
GERS, but not including 3,400 men Of
the hospital corps, SO that the es-
Enlistment was 1851 men short of
its authorized strength.
