FOUR NEGROES ARE
 SCHEDULED TO HANG

Jackson Miss, December 11.-(Spe- cial )-Four negro hangings are sched- uled for today in Mississippi--two at Starkville, one at Carrollton and one at Carthage. It Is not believed that Governor Brewer will interpose a com mutation in any of these cases. The condemned men were legally tried and convicted of murder.
 There has been a good deal of talk about the double hanging at Stark vile for the reason that the board of supervisors ordered it public. as they had the authority to do. The gover- nor of the state has no authority {, change the programme as marked out by the county supervisors, his only re- course being a pardon or commuta- tion and he states that he is not going to do either.
 The doomed men at Starkville arc Henry Seals and Peter Bohlen, who murdered a negro boy named Will Fay. Tor; Boy Myers will hang at Carrolltor for the murder of Sheriff McDougal brother-in-law of Governor Brewer some seven or eight years ago: Alonzs Turner Is to be- hanged at Carthage for the murder of white farmer named Stribling.

NEWLOW GROUND
 MADE BY PRICES Selling Movement Inspired by Crop Figures Is
 Renewed

New York. December 1.-The sell ing movement inspired by yesterdays big crop figures was renewed in the cotton market today and prices made new low ground for the movement. with the close steady at net de- cline of to 21 points.
 Private cables reported considerable calling by spinners in the English market. and Liverpool did not fully meet yesterdays local decline, but aft CT opening steady at decline of one point to an advance of two points prices here quickly weakened. Decem- ber notices estimated at about 1000 bales were reported in circulation and evidently caused liquidation, while there also appeared to be some fresh selling of the near months. presum- ably against cotton previously held here from the south.
 The weakness of the near positions helped to unsettle the general list, and trading was more active during tho morning than at any previous time since the reopening of the market. At net loss of about 23 points on Decem- Der and of to 16 points on later months, selling became less active but demand also tapered off and the mar ket was comparatively quiet later In the day. The close was steadied by covering but within a point or two of the lowest.
 It is reported that great difficulty is still being experienced in securing enough insurance to cover the risks on both hulls and cargoes in the case of vessels sailing for Germany and that a vessel which recently cleared from a southern port for Bremen has put into Boston.

FEARS IF WEATHER
 SEND WHEAT UP
Good Deal of Selling on Bulge and the Market
 Closes Easy

Chicago, December 11.-Misgivings about the effect of cold weather on unprotected fields tended to make wheat higher.
 There was a good deal of selling on the bulge, however. and the market closed easy at shade to Ao above last night Corn finished unchanged to i-i6c up: oats unchanged to itIssc advance. and provisions dcarer by shade to 5c.
 Small receipts northwest appeared to give an added advantage to wheat bulls and so, too. did reports of unusual de- mand for wheat in Greece. Italy and Swe- den. Support dwindled during the last half of the day. when early buyers tried to realize. There also was new awak- ening of spot sellers.
 Corn averaged a little higher owing to prospects of sharper feeding demand on account of winter weather.
 Oats hardened with other grains.
 Large arrivals of hogs had only brief influence on provisions.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December n.-(Special.) Cables this morning were rather better than due, and private dispatches reported a good deal of calling on the part of spin ners who appear to be willing to take a portion of their supplies on the basis of 4d. The market also reflected the news of the naval victories in the South Atlantic, which would seem to indicate the increas- ing security of the communications be- tween Manchester and It's eastern mar kets.
 The market here was still under the in- fiuence of the large government estimate, and the somewhat easier southern market, prices declining some 10 points from yes terday's close. On the decline there was buying from both New Orleans and Liv. erpool. and further absorption of cotton by investors attracted by the lower range of prices Buainess was rather more ac- tive and under the circumstances the market displayed distinct powers of re. sistance. except in the December deiiv. cry in which at one time there was con siderable liquidation, apparently on south ern orders.
