COTTON PRICES STRONG.

Made New High Records for Season.
New York, Nov 7.-An early reac-
tion was quickly followed by renew
ed strength In the cotton market today
and prices made new high records for
the season on practically all active
months as q result Of covering, trade
buying and continued bull support.
The close was four to five points off
from the best under realizing but
very steady with last prices net un-
changed to 13 points higher.
The opening was steady at unchang-
ed prices to decline Of four points
and active months sold seven to eight
points net lower right after the call
under realizing and local pressure in
spired by somewhat disappointing
cables and claims that recent frosts in
the South had caused less damage
than anticipated. Offerings were
heavy but were very well absorbed
around the initial figures owing to
good demand from all sources and
prices soon turned hrmer on this sup
port and fresh buying inspired by ru-
mors of bullish private crop esti-
mates. talk Of reduced estimates Of
the yield OF Egypt and China, and ap-
prehension that the rains in the South
would bc followed by increased COM
plications Of low grades. Bullish pri-
vate southern spot advances also con-
tributed to the buying movement and
during the early afternoon the mar
ket sold into new high ground, catch

CHARLESTON NEEDS WATCHING.


A Charleston business man who has
just returned home from an extended
trip. states that he heard Charleston
talked about almost everywhere he
went and he believes that this Is one
OF the best indications of Charlestons
future when people are generally
talking about the prospects Of the
port.
In the North. in the West, In the
South. the business man travelled and
he states that he heard the same
chorus everywhere. that Charleston is
at last coming into possession Of her
own. In New York city there were
substantial business people who look
ed upon Charleston as rival for
business. This may sound like a joke
to some people. said the business man,
but 1t was not meant as such.
Charleston's splendid geographical
and physical advantages are being
realized among the big railroads and
business interests. The future Of the
port Is inevitable. and 1t is only a
question Of time. 1t Is felt. when no
matter how greatly neighboring ports
may have fiourished. Charleston is
destined to be the gateway not only
OF the commerce of the immediate
section. but for very wide section
Of the country.
When things start up. In the opin-
Ion Of the traveller. they are coming
with a rush. Charleston Is on the
verge Of one of the biggest booms that
this country has seen, In his opinion,
founded on things he has heard on
his travels. and. a few years will tell
the story. Real estate has not begun
to reach It's topmost bounds. 1t is
just foreshadowing the big develop
ment which Is brewing and with the
eyes of the whole country turned in
this direction. Charleston is about to
make good In a substantial way. This
Is the opinion Of the larger business
interests which help to bring about
these big port booms. and the Char
lesion traveller said that things will
soon speak for themselves.

For an hour II was carried out in
good order. Two hours after sunrise
the Bulgarians started in pursuit.
Thence forward II was a disorderly
rout.
Pressed by the mass behind. the
vanguard lost all semblance OF an or
ganized army. The men abandoned
all their rifles. haversacks and bag
gage. These fell into the hands of
the enemy. The wounded had to shift
for themselves. Those who we're able
to walk limped along. jostled in tho
flight.
by noon shells were whist,ing
around them and struck down some
Of the unhappy fugitives"
The correspondent says that the
last news of Mukhthar Pasha, who
commanded the right wing. was that
he was slowly retreating in tolerably
good order. He was fiercely contest
Ing his ground. but was losing heav-
lily and sacrificing his men cheerful
ly In the hope Of giving the other
shattered half of the Turkish army
breathing time and an opportunity to
reform at Tchorlu.
