COTTON RECEIVERS
THURSDAYS DROP

There was q steadier tone in the cot
ton market yesterday, with Southern
selling considered chiefly responsible
for the decline Of Thursday not so
much in evidence. Investment buyers
appeared moro confident. Demand,
however, was by no means active. and
closing prices showed slight reaction
under realizing, with the final tone
steady, net unchanged 10 3 points
higher.
First prices were I 10 points lower
on all months except October, which
was | point higher in sympathy with
steady cables. December notices, esti-
mated at about 5000 bales, brought out
little liquidation. The absence OF
Southern hedge selling was the chief
factor in checking local offerings, how
ever, and moderate demand was suffi-
cient to send prices about TO 8 points
net higher during the middle Of the
day. Trading be lme less active on
this advance, and later fluctuations
were more or less irregular.
The announcement from Washington
that the cotton loan fund of si35,0O0,-
900 would probably be available for
actual loans by February was consid-
cred somewhat disappointing, as il had
been hoped that these funds would be
released if required before the first of
the year. Southern adyices, however,
indicate that money is plentiful and
easy in the South, and
few offerings of distress" cotton ire
expected this season. Exports we're 49,
746 bales. making 214,374 bales for the
week, comparing with 29i 100 bales for
the same week last year. For the sea-
son exports have been 400, 1853 bales,
against 4,326,24i last year. The ocean
freight rate on cotton TO Liverpool
jumped to rs cents per 100 pounds yes
.erday. the highest rate since the Civil
Wa, and an advance Of 80 cents since
the beginning Of the European war.
Galveston sdvices reported that the
rate from that port to Norwegian ports
las been advanced to 81 % per 100
pounds. Southern SPOT markets we're
,sc lower 20 Lice higher, New Orleans
,eing up and Houston down. Local
pot market quiet at 7.50c for middling
upland: no sales; delivered en- con-
ract, 1900 bales. Local contract

GRAINS UP IN CHICAGO
Wheat Makes Sharp Advance
Provisions Also Higher.

Chicago, Dee. 4.-Export buying and
a good deal Of uneasiness about harm
from prolonged dry weather in the do
nestle winter crop belt ran prices up
to-day in the wheat market here. The
outcome. was a strong close at lc TO
2i4c above last night. Other leading
staples scored net gains corn, isc 70
12c; oats, &c to &c, and provisions,
10c TO 15c. Although wheat traders
were almost evenly divided in opinion
at first, it was not long before a large
majority had swung to the bull side
of the market. Cables were higher
and there seemed 10 be an increase OF
urgency in the European demand, cash
sales at the seaboard being estimated
as high as 100000 bushels, exclusive
of transactions at other inland centres.
in some quarters a disposition was
shown TO connect this phase OF the
situation with reports that a German
feet of ten vessels was threatening to
interfere seriously with proposed big
shipments to Great Britain from Argen-
tina. Range of prices:

TRADING in THE
CURB SECURITIES
Oil Shares Active in a Broader
List-Industrials and Min.
ing Issues Quiet.

Interest in the outside securities
market yesterday was principally con-
fined TO the oil and tobacco issues
fractional declines were recorded in
Riker-Hegeman, United Cigar Stores
new and United Profit Sharing Corpo-
ration, which advanced early, but later
reacted, with q net loss Of 4 of a
point.
The oil list was broader and excep-
tionally active. Atlantic Refining and
Standard Oil of Nebraska each made
a gain OF 20 points and Prairie Oil and
Gas of Z, while a number of other oil
shares made small losses. Mining
shares again were in smaller demand,
although prices in Goldfeld Consoli-
dated and Tonopsh Extension were
slightly higher. Consolidated Gas
convertible is were dull and fraction
ally lower.

HARDEN'S FATE
IN JURORS HANDS

Attorneys for the prosecution and
defense are winding up their argu-
ments this afternoon before jury
in Superior court in the matter of
Hazel Harden, charged with the muir
der of a Hindu on the Edwards ranch,
west of town, last December. The case
will go to the jury late today. 1t was
expected that the jurors would be
given the case yesterday afternoon or
this morning, but the work of getting
testimony of the Hindus is slow, as
every question and answer has to be
made by an interpreter and the for
eigners are given to lengthy discourses
on each question asked.
The state has been represented by
District Attorney Phil d. Swing, Dep
uty H. L. Welch and Galen Nichols,
as special prosecutor employed by the
Hindus, and Person & Coad have ham
died the defense for Harden.

CHAIN GANG WORKER
FREE FOR AN HOUR

James Miller, held in the county
on a charge of resisting an of
ficer in Brawley, enjoyed his liberty
from the chain gang for about an
hour this morning, when he laid down
his shovel and skipped to the east side
of the tracks. Men from the sheriff's
Office and city officers were notified and
a drag net spread out all over the
city, with the result that Miller was
captured in Mexican's house.
Fifteen guests of the Hotel de
Meadows Were given positions on the
city streets this morning. Shortly afs-
err the men had been given their tools,
when the attention of the officer In
charge was called to the other end
of the line, Miller, thinking the chance
a good one, quietly walked off. Infor-
nation as to what direction the man
took could not be learned from the
other prisoners, all pleading ignorance
of the mans disappearance.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-02-18

Receiver Holabird revives the talk
of selling the California Development
Company to Representatives of two
big English syndicates," who are rep
resented to be ready to take the place
of the California Development Com
pany in supplying the mutual water
companies of the valley.
1t has been known for some time
that such representatives are in the
valley, and Los Angeles newspapers
have published stories indicating that
they desired to head off the acqui
sition of the property by the Irriga-
ton District and make of it specu-
lative investment, rather than CO.
operative institution conducted by the
people of the valley.
In view of this, it is highly inter-
esting to note the movements being
made to prevent the people acquiring
the irrigation system, and the follow
ing report, printed in the Los An
geles Times, will bear considerable
study:
"Unless the Southern Pacific Rail-
road files bonds sufficient to satisfy
the court in the legal war for the
control of the California Development
Company, Receiver Holabird will pro-
ceed to sell the effects and business

of the creditors and bondholders of

which the sale can be stopped is by
the filing of satisfactory guarantee

terday that as far he knows no ac-
tion has yet been taken or planned
in the matter and that until such time
as this is done preparations for the
sale can be continued and possibly
carried out.
"The Southern Pacific would receive
the greater portion of the money
realized from a sale, having in 1919
secure judgment of $1,501 ,903 for
services rendered in restraining an in

would now amount to about S266,504
In addition the Southern Pacific holds
bonds of the corporation to the extent
of $654,211. The judgment awarded
to the New Liverpool Salt Company
