COTTON OPENS STRONG BUT DROPS
 RACK.
Some Local Dealers Anticipated Great CT Rise Than Was Warranfed-- Receipts Were Good for the
 Week End

The cotton market opened up yes- Serday morning in response to good Liverpool cables on the strength of tious. the prices of the staple rapidly advancing. Some of the local buyers anticipated a greater advance than came. and which did not materialize, prices dropping back to about the clos ing of Fridays market.
 This Is beginning to be the season of the year when frost scares and bad weather predictions make the market very nervous, and everyvody is on the aui vive for favorable or unfavorable weather reports.
 Receipts yesterday were good, but being Saturday the cotton business was practically over by noon.
 By referring to yesterdays weekly cotton statement in The Advertiser it will be seen that Montgomery's cot ton receipts exceeded the same week of last season. This is very gratify- ing in view of the fact that there is a short crop and 1t also evidences the fact that Montgomery is good cotton market z
 It would seem. too. the dealers ar que, that prices that are being paid here must be relatively high, cotton be- ing attracted to the local market from distances.
 Strict middling was quoted esterday at II 9-16 and middling. :L Il 7-16.

HARRoUN's CAR A MARVEL.
Trial Performances Show 30 Miles an
Hour Easily.

Hour Easily.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE first of the
speed uarvels that are expected to es-
tabltsh new records during the Florida
automobile speed carnival this month
already has arrived at Ornond, and,
according to dispatches, is likely to
make good its promise of sensational
work on the beach. This machine is
structed by r. w. Harroun, of Chi
cago, and is the lightest racing car ever
built. 4.
In trial performances on the beach
the Harroun car is said to have shown
a speed of 80 miles an hour for long
sprints. The marvellous feature of this
car is that it weighs only 500 pounds,
and, according to all accounts, it has all
the lightweight records at Its mercy,
though its designer aspires also to the
heavyweight marks in competition with
machines of much greater power.
Notwithstanding it's diminutiveness,
this car has an eight-cylinder gasoline
engine, the cylinders being in two rows,
at a 90-degree angle. The engine is not
of the highest possible construction
compatible with safety The engine
weighs only 120 pounds, including fly
wheel, but it delivers 40-horse power to
the wheels. The construction of the car
is said to be ideal for speed on a beach
course.
More news has been received of the
new Stanley steamers built for the
Florida meet. One of these has been
designed to compete in the races at so
that steam racer is adaptable only to
sprints. This car, tested on Massa-
chusetts roads, has shown speed in ex-
cess of 100 miles an hour, and it's de-
signer is confident that on the Florida
beach it will travel that distance in 60
minutes.
