New York, Jan. 20.-There was a
renewal Of nervousness in the cotton
market today and while there YVES no
such rush Of liquidation as on pre-
vious days, sentiment was very ap-
prehensive as q result Of conditions In
the stock market with prices suffering
q severe break during the morning.
A better tone developed late In the
day owing largely to trade buying and
expectations Of big reduction in the
local stock, and most Of the early loss
was recovered, the close being hrm
at an advance Of 6 points on october,
unchanged prices on December and
from s to IA points net lower on the
active months. The market opened
steady at q decline Of points on Oc-
tober, but generally 10 to Is points
lower in response to disappointing
cables. According to private advices
the Liverpool market has been de-
pressed by straddle selling, and right
after the opening here there was big
demand by arbitrage houses who
tended to substantiate this view OF
the foreign weakness. During the
early trading the straddle buying i'm
parted rather firm tone to the mar
ket and prices rallied to within point
or two Of last nights finals on the ac-
tive months. But there was no gem
eral demand, two or three brokers
seemed to have large selling orders
which were supposed to represent rnr-
ther liquidation, and there was very
uneasy feeling over the Wall street
situation. The announcement or the
suspension of a stock exchange brm
having cotton exchange membership
was followed by a decline to 1853 for
March and 1880 for May or IL to 43
points below the closing figures " last
night, but 1t was announced later that
this firm had no open trades in the
cotton markets; there was little wall
street liquidation and the market Ia
ter f1rmed UP. Mr.. Patten wired
local house that he had engaged ocean
freight room for his holdings Of $1,000
which would be shipped from the To-
cal stock in the near future, and an
has been created that n
considerable part Of the spot supply
here has been sold to mills on the de-
cline. Trade interests were buying In

GETS HIS MAN
Detective Lands Prisoner in West
moreland County.

Detective Hewlett, Of Washington.
arrested Alpha Weaver, twenty-one
years old, of Stratf0rd, Va, on a
charge of grand larceny. The detec-
tive and his prisoner arrived in Wash
ington from Colonial Beach Tuesday
night.
Jesse Weaver, whose home is at Wash
ington, allowed Alpha Weaver to re-
main at his house on the night Of Sept
26th. That day Jesse drew $500 from
bank with the intention OF paying a
bill the next morning.
Alpha is supposed to have known this.
That night Alpha had room on the
lower floor. Jesse, with his family, oc-
cupied rooms on an upper floor. When
Jesse started for work the following
morning he called the man he had al
allowed to remain in his home over
night. There was no response. Going
to the room occupied by Alpha, he says,
he found it vacant. Then he looked for
his money. That too, he says, was
gone.
Jesse Weaver placed the matter be-
fore Inspector Broadman. Detective
Hewlett was assigned to the case. He
learned that Alpha Weaver had been
seen at the Union Station with a roll
Of money on the morning Of the rob-
berry.
Investigation disclosed that Alpha
was en- route TO his home in Virginia.
The detective left Washington for Co
lonial Beach. There he learned that
the suspect had left for Montross, %
miles distant. 1t was night, but How
lett drove the distance. He arrived at
Montross in the morning.
About dark that evening Hewlett
was passing the courthouse at Mon
tross. A man was sitting on a fence
whiting piece Of wood. His descrip-
ton answered that of AL pha Weaver,
and the detective approached him.
Say, Weaver, they want you IN
Washington for that little bit Of work,
the detective said.
Alpha decided to accompany Hewlett
to Washington. Another 25-nile drive
brought the detective and his prisoner
to Colonial Beach. They took the boat
for Washington Tuesday morning.
