solicited ladies and gentlemen are
invited to walk through the hand
some sales rooms and inspect the
bargains that are offered, pick out

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Nov Silver
pool bulls evidently took profits on
the good showing portrayed by our
markets yesterday. Cables manifest
ed anything but bullish tenor, clos
ing easy on last night quotations when
she was due IL up. With the Wall
street shearers enjoying holiday
the parocial boys from dear old Dixie
endeavored to make a market There
was a drift ON some IL points down
ward with price changes very mea-
gre. The derelicts of Bulldow cared
to rest on their laurels of the last
few days, while few of them took
profits. There is a growing sJtspic-
ion among the wool wearers that the
South cannot sell their holdings on
account of the banks refusing to pay
for same while the farmer will not
accept the preferred stage of clear
ing house certificates. This argu-
ment is being handed around by our
Wall street friends in the hopes of
working the squeeze play as it were.
We are inclined to the belief that a
better selling basis is being sought
from those who have the money to
manipulate, when the outsiders pos
itively refuse to come in the market.
The game as it is being played is
truly one of the highest type of chan
Gerry, as the operator who can make
himself believe in squeezes and bull
campaigns at this juncture with the
whole world trying to get out of the
hole is a beautiful subject for some
wandering artificer expounding the
innermost doctrines of Christian
Science

OPERA HOUSE LEASED
BY MILES BROS
Mr.. Harry K. Lucas Will
Be New Manager.

Under the terms of an agreement
ratified yesterday, Miles Bros, of
New York, have secured a lease on.
Glover's Opera House until Sept. 1,
1907. The leasor is Mr. w. H. C. Dud-
ley, owner and manager of the
house. The lessees have a chain of
moving picture shows, and have been
showing at the local opera house
for the past few weeks.
Mr.. Harry K. Lucas, who has been
manager of the moving picture show
as representative of Miles Bros, will
manage the opera house. All attrac-
tions at present booked and those
yet to be booked will be under the
management of Mr.. Lucas.
There will be no change in the
moving picture shows, which will
operate when there is no outside at
traction. as has been the case since
the beginning of the moving picture
regime.
1t is the intention of Mr. Lucas to
get actively to work to land additional
theatrical shows besides those al
ready booked. 1t is his belief that,
though the season is well under way,
a number of choice productions can
be induced to make stop at Ameri-
Gus by slight change in their It'll
nerary. This will of course, delight
Americas lovers of the drama and Of
light opera.
Mr. Lucas has been most success
full in the management of the moving
picture show and in a little wider
field will no doubt duplicate his prev
ious good record. If energy and nat
ural ability will bring about this
result, the honor will be his. Ameri-
Gus theatre lovers will no doubt have
reason to congratulate themselves on
the added evenings of enjoyment
which will come with the transfer.

NEW ORLEANS HAD
TOO HEAVY LOAD
Considerable Sales manner
iCuS Spot Market.

New Orleans made rather poor
showing in her efforts to carry the
cotton market alone yesterday. Liver
pool failed to come up to expectations
at it's opening and weakened very
considerably before it's close. New
Orleans opened 2 to points down
for the active positions on the show
ing made by the English market, but
improved slightly in little while,
only to sag again on renewed selling.
Changes were not large and covering
near the close helped prices a few
points. The final figures were the
same as the opening prices for the ac-
tive positions and to s points lower
same as compared with the close
for Monday Spot quotations were
not changed.
Liverpool spots were quoted at
6:07 for middling; a gain of 10 points
from the day before. The sales were
5000 bales. Futures opened steady
6 to Z IL points above the close for
Monday, but closed easy un-
changed to / IL points higher.
The receipts at all ports were 75,-
900 bales, of which Galveston got
25,538, Savannah 1906 and New Or
leans, 1905 The total last year was
$4,000 bales The estimate for Hous-
ton today is 1900 to $500 against
10,161 last year, and for Galveston
10000 to $4,000
Considerable activity was display
ed in the local spot market, sales
being on the basis of 10 3-S cents for
good middling. This was the same
quotation as for the day before. All
offerings we ertaken on this basis
named. Some holders were unwilling
to sell at this price and carried over.
