NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Jan. 23.--spot cotton firm. unchanged. Middling sAc. Sales on the epot 325 bales to arrige 1000.
 T8s points on good Liverpool cables Aft CT the opening the advance was continued as the result of the bullishness of the cen sus bureau report on cotton Rinned up to January is. The figures just met conserva- tive bulls expectations and prices rose until they stood at e net advance of IF Q Is points. Profit taking by longs became very free at ahe advance and the gains es- thblixhed were gradually lost, the market closing steady at the lowest of the day with prices unchanged to one point lower than yesterdays closing.
 All other events In the cotton market this week were cast in the shade by the census bureau report on ginning out today and all trading was directed toward dis counting that feature. Much liquidation was done by those longs who were afraid 10 carry their cotton over such an import aut report but prices had constantly ad- vaneing tendency because of the readiness with which large interests supported the market. Tha. active mopths made net gain of IT to 24 points during the week. In fhe spot department the chief activity came from January shorts who were buying cot- ton to deliver on contracts MiddlnE ad- vanced to 4e during the week.
 Fetal sales were s.10l bales. aRainst 1b.- $50 the preceding week and 11,72s bales sbls week last year. Sales to arrive were Sz7s bales. against S.s25 the preceding week and $500 last year.

Had not Robert Stewart, a negro,
have been removed as quickly as he

was If the young man who had been
assaulted was dead.

Hall was cut twice on the neck, Ons

OF three other cuts were found on the

ed they heard no words pass between
the two, but about 1870 o'clock in the
morning heard a scuffle and saw
Stewart, one arm around Halls neck,
and the other welding a sharp Knife
An attempt to frustrate murder
caused Stewart to chase out OF the
mill and strike out for a swamp near
