 COTTON. Has Been ard Unewentful Week and This Week and rrcnnises Little

Saturday marked the close of the most uneventfui week of the cotton season which has yet transpired. and the dullness found e fit criterion in the day for business Sat- urday was practically at a standstil as far as concerned cotton. And the coming week promises to be as uninteresting unless there is some unforeseen occurrence to send the staple a-kiting to and above nine cents. But such an occurrence is little expected. and there is nothing in anticipation for the planter and buyer and seller with the exception of the Presidential election and its consequent betterment of times.

 Receipts Saturday, according to local warehouse men, were fairly good. from the standpoint of the dull week, with practi- cally the entire importation being stored fin the warehouses, to be held for an in- crease in price. The warehouses general ly, are stocked almost to the utmost with cotton. which is being held for the coveted nins cents, and the stock on hand probably exceeds that of any season in history of eotton.
 And the stock at the end of the past week will probably mark the limit of the season, as gossip goes. The crop is practi- caiiy all picked. in this section at least, and from now on all interest will be center cd in the fluctuations of the price. That tho price now asked by the farmers. nine cents. will be Forthcoming within a little while. is expected, and the expectations are borne out by the tidings that all offerings are rapidly becoming absorbed.

 New York.-Cotton sh orts were maue uneasy to-day by the repart that Jessie L. Livermore was again trying his hand at pulling market. They bought enough cotton to pi prices up ing movement was checked by the heavy receipts and continued favorable weather in the belt.
 If the latest report Is true there are four prominent operators who some time during their career have been at the head of a sensational upward move- ment in cotton prices. working indI- vidually to boost the market despite the fact that very few bull campaigns in the past few years have been suc- cessful They are Jessie Livermore, Theo. Price. Daniel J. sully and W. P. Brown.
 Theo. H. Price is said to have been buying cotton for the past few months Daniel J. Sully. now with the broker age firm Of Hyden, Stone 6 Co, is con- hdent that he can attract a large fol- lowing. particularly from the South, where his deal which put cotton up to l754 made him very popular, and Is sending out buIIish circulars stating that he expected an advance on the re- vival in general trade and that the relatively low prices warrant an up- ward movement.
 After his deal in the October option fell through last summer costing him a large fortune. according to common report, LivermOre went for a yatchino, trip from which, he recently returned He bought 10000 bales of January. March and May yesterday. and was again buying to-day.

The market closed steady; sentiment during the greater greater to the weather conditions. which pre- vailed in the West and Southwest. The weather bureau reported rain over the for continued wet weather in many sections. News from Argentina also was more optimistic, several dispatch new crop by frosts would be only slight. Prospects of a further liberal increase in the visible supply of wheat In the United States and Canada for the week furnished an additional nno- tive to sellers. The principal bulltsh influence of the day was continued excellent demand for flour at Minne. Unchanged premiums and no export business was reported. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to fi,ooo bushels. Primary receipts were l,io5,- bushels the corresponding day year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 736 cars against T7s last week and si7 a year ago.
 Fears that the movenNrnt of new corn to market would be hindered by the wet weather present end prospec- tive. caused many local traders to be- come quite active buyers of corn dur ing the first half of the session which in the day, however. several leading commission houses sold the May de- livery and this tended to weaken the market in general.

 Plans Being Made to Care for Maturing
 Bonds.
 Wall Street Summary.
 tentative plans are under discussion for financing next years maturing oo- liTations of the Southern Railway Company.
 Although the company will not be In need of fresh funds for some months the question of taking up its bonds which fall due April l next, has been under consideration in an informal way by bankers connected with the property. At the time s16,oOO.O 900 coli lateral trust five per cent bonds or the company, which were issued In l9O4, will have to be provided for. and it may be stated on authority that wnlle fuli details of the plan have not yet been worked out. the company Will have no difficulty in meeting this pay ment. Banking interests associated with the company stand ready to ad- vance the required amount of money.
 If financial conditions are then such as to make advisable the sale of long term bonds this Is the method which will probably be pursued In raising money to pay of the five year collater- al trust issue referred to. This com pany has $200, ,OO0 ,O00 development and general mortgage bonds authorizer. only $20, ,000 of which has even been sold. In case the company should not be able to secure a satisfactory price for a new bond issue. it is thought likely that the maturing notes will be extended, or a new issue sold. From the general improvement and financial conditions, however. and the decided picking up in the earnings of the Southern Railway Company during the present year, bankers are rather con- fident that by the time new money will be required, the company will be able to realize a fairly good price for its bonds. On February 1, 1910 the com pany has $15.Oo0.O0o five per cent de- benture notes falling due. These also. 1t may be stated, will be taken care of in due time.

ther state that MIR. Curry was drunk
to an extreme degree; thpt after the
difficulty with myself he proceeded
to the Nordice hotel, where he
proceeded to create disturbance
to such an extent that It became
necessary to eject him. This state
ment can be verified by the bar
tender and restaurant keeper in
charge; that after being elected
from the latter place he created
another disturbance on the street
and i'm front of the Nordica hotel
with one Joseph Murphy, con
tractor and proceeded TO heap sucn
vile abuse upon him that every one
present was thoroughly dlsgusted
