THE NAVAL LOBBY.

If Rear Admiral Goodrich isn't dis
ciplined by the President and the
Navy Department for his action in
running a naval lobby, whose ex-
press purpose is to secure increase OF
pay for naval officers, then the coun-
try will have Just reason to believe
that the chief executive and the de-
partment are bothin sympathy with
the movement and disposed TO con-
done the conduct of the officers en-
gagged in it. Is was a piece OF sub
lime presumption on the part of this
coterie to send out letters to ascer-
tain the views of congressman on the
subject, especially as it was proposed
to establish black list for those IN
fortunate members who should hap
pen to be unfavorable. The army
and navy officers have long since
come to be looked upon as the pam
pered and spoilt pets of official Amer
lea and the general consensus of
opinion outside of Washington is
that they get a good deal more pay
pay than they come anywhere near
earning. Newport, Bar Harbor and
other pleasure resorts on the Eastern
coast are literally swarming with
the glittering gentry of the navy
summer after summer, and for thus
bringing joy by their presence to the
ultras OF these society retreats each
one of these gentlemen receives sums
ranging from one hundred and TWEEN
ty-fve per month up to FIVE, six and
seven hundred, and yet they ask for
more and establish lobby to force
an ungrateful Congress TO comply
with their demands. If the L. 5.
navy Is to continue to form part
OF Newport's society comedy each
year, why by all means give the Of
ficers enough to carry them through.
but if the navy is toget down To act-
ual work they won't need any more
pay.

 New Orleans, Jan. 14.-The favorite optn- ion in professional circles is at present that the principal rush in demand for &C., tual cotton is about over and that now heavy receipts and otherwise unfavorable statistics will. more readily etell on tn markets. Action is suited to this belief and in the absence of public support prices are giving away to this selling. Lack of faith and loss of confidence owing to the the weakness. Liverpool also appears struck by this wave of bearish sentiment, futures there showing an initial decline of 8 to 10 points, against to points due. Spot reaching 12,000 Opening to down. our market was forced lower by a sharp break in New York. The heavy discount under Southern spot values seems to be no check to the aggressive weakness there for which a bad contract without represen- tative buying qualities seems to be the on- ly rational explanation. How much suf- fer by this weakness was clearly demon strated today. As soon as New York halted for a while futures here improved rapidly although fear of further selling pressure there Is crippling enterprise gene rally Short covering supported futures on close approach to ten cents for March and the large discount under spots lessened the disposition to sell Although checked by the decline in futures there is a steady demand for spots about Ac lower quota tions Factors cotton is not as freely for sale as expected.
 Futures although very dull were steady in the afternoon around .05 for March Good spot news offset impressions by the large port receipts which for the three days amount to 132.545, against 41,S54 last year and 42673 in 1905. There is a fair and steady demand for spot buyers and sellers apart only the lower grades readily ob~ tainable at the lower figures

stray Bullet Strikes NIT. Miller On
 Square I'm Athens.
 Athens, Jan 14.-(Special. )--A .seri- ous and peculiar accident occurred late Saturday afternoon to Ausley Miller. a prominent young farmer in the eastern part of the county.
 He was standing on the public square discussing with a. friend the value of a mule when he was seen to stagger and his friend asked what was the matter and looking discovered that Miller had been shot, the ball entering his forehead just in the edge of the hair He was caught before falling and hurried in a vehicle to the near est drug store where medical aid was summoned.
 The ball was a spent short Winches- ter 22 and from whence 1t came is a mystery. It flattened itself as thin as a knife blade on his skull and when removed was as large as nickel.
 MT. Miller suffered very much but was able to be sent to his home in the eastern part of the county.
 It is believed that some boys were shooting at pigeons and the ball In falling struck Mir. Miller. It carried a part of his hat into the wound and embedded it against the skull, perhaps preventing the lead from entering the skull.

Chicago. Jan. 14--A decline in the price of wheat at Liverpool weakened prices closing at . net loss of Hc corn was a shade lower. Oats were up k@Mc Pro- visions were 2oc to 25c higher.
 The grain situation at Minneapolis and Duluth swayed prices cn the local exchange during the greater para of the day. Early in the session prices here were firm be- cause of the strength at Minneapolis and Duluth where receipts of wheat were small but when prices in the Northwest declined values here followed 10 considerable tx- tent News of the day favored the bulls The worlds shipments showed decline in exports from Russia and the ports in the Danube compared with last years move ment. while shipments from America contin- ued on iiberal scale. The visible supply showed an increase of s31.ooo bushels. against an increase Of 1.6ss.o0e last year. The brunt of the selling pressure fell on the July delivery. which was sold by pit traders on the theory that the growing crop will probably be damaged by cold weather The principal demand came from shorts. The market closed easy with prices near the lowest point of the day.
 May opened kc to kc higher at 7s&c to .7s7sc sold off to 7sSc and closed Ut 7eAc
 Ciearances of wheat and flour were equal to 233 200 bushels The amount on pass age decreased 2s4.0oe bushels. Primary re- ceipts were 727.eoo bushels, against 1,1es,ooo for the same day last year.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 54s cars. against sso last week and S44 a year ago.
 Trading in the corn pit was quiet and the market was inclined to be weak, be cause Of the prospect of an increased movement A cold wave was predicted for tonight throughout the night and receiving houses here reported more liberal country acceptt ances Commission houses were the princi- pal sellers while demand was scattered. The market closed easy.
 May opened unchanged at 43%c, sold off to 43k @4s&c. and closed at 43B @43&c. Local receipts were 5S5 cars, with one of contract grade.
 Oats were firm and trading at times was quite active. Longs and commission houses were the best-buyers while offerings came mostly from small holders although cash houses sold moderately
 May opened a shade to a@Mc higher at ss $ c to sexc and held within that range, the close being at 36 6xc. Local receipts were 23s cars.
 Provisions opened easier on selling caus- ed by a Dc decline in the price of live hogs. but the market rallied on active buying by packers and the market was strong for the remainder of the day. The market closed strong with May pork 25c higher at s1e.T0. Lard was up f5c at s9.57M. Ribs were lsc higher at ss.17h.

 New Orleans Jan. 1A-As was expected the large movement is beginning to weigh heavily upon the market, values again de- clining about s1 per bale compared with the close of last Saturday, which represents a shrinkage in prices of about hc or about S2 30 per bale since the close of last Wednesday when the market was boosted on the then urgent demand for spot cotton. which to certain extent, still continues, Liverpool having sold 12.00e bales today, put at prices eight points lower than Sat- uroay. Receipts at all ports today were s1.s25 bales. last year 2o.0oo, year before last 2loo0, since Friday 133 900, one year ago 42,000. year before last 4s, ,o0e and esti- mates for arrivals tomorrow are large, at Galveston and New Orleans. combined with 4200o to 47.S0o. compared with 1s.s32 a year ago. all of which pointed to this weeks Insight totaling more than lastETA weeks insight totaiing nearly as much If not more than last weeks 427.0eo vs 2ti- ooo last year and is4 GOO two years ago.
 1T these figures are realized the excess in movement since September 1st. over that of the big crop year of 1so4-o5. will then have grown to about 5so, 900 by next Fri day.
 Today there was issued an estimate by a prominent New York firm, wherein the probable sise of the crop was placed at about 12.s3o.0e0 bales Therefore there was no incentive offered to encourage buy ing of the market, especially as the English market showed declining tendency, ft- tuIeS tueke SuIrefinG tOSs or IF points.
 There was considerable liquidation of long contracts today A redeemfng feature of the situation is located In the improved trade accounts from Manchester and New York as regards the export demand to Asia, India and China buying more freely of cot- ton goods. whisit the demand from the less important centers of the world continues as high tide end at the highest prices of the season. does also the domestic de- mand for home purposes. However it re- mains to be seen whether or not this im- provement in trade continues. that Is in the export branch of the business.
 The action of the board of manaEers at the New York Cotton Exchange in recom- mending changes in the bylaws calling for the dropping of certain low grades in the delivering of cotton on contracts. and pro- vidins for revision in February in addf- tion to September and December is being received with favor. but as the changes can not take place until next year, 190S 1t will not affect existing conditions until then Meanwhile the supply and demand will be the bone of contention.
