just Another Rumor

1t was during the evening session of the
Governor and Council and also during a
lull in business when all was as quiet as
that well-known night before Christmas,
Governor Curtis looked up from his med
itations and softly said:
''Well, see that the Republican papers
of Portland have SAM Bates of Portland
appointed State superintendent of schools.
They can't even let US alone at our fu-
neral!'
And not smile was cracked nor a
laugh laughed.
Secretary Of State John E. Bunker. who
has probably had the strongest backing
for the position, was present. but he
didn't smile. Senator Edward Murphy OF
Portland and Samuel Bates of Portland
were not there. They will undoubtedly
smile when they read this.

ing lately held here 1t was voted TO

PRICES LOWER ON
 UNSTEADY MARKET
Liverpool Cables Lower and Opening is at Decline-Close is , to ' Points Off-LiverpoOl Cables Lower than Due.

New York, Jan. 1.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness and irregularity today, with March contracts fiuctuating between 12.5Sc and 12.46c, closing at 12.53c. The general list closed steady. at net dcline of to points.
 Liverpool cables were lower than due and the market here opened at a decline of ? tc 1 points. There was considerable selling during the early trading by Southern, Wall Street, and Western interests, with indications that cotton purchased on the advances of last week was being liquidated. The decline carried January off to 12.25c, May to 12.69c and July to .12.4Sc, with the general list showing net losses of about 9 to 13 points. The market then steadied on Liverpool buying to undo straddles or covering of shorts and prices rallied several points from the lowest, with January selling up to 12.34c and July to 12.92c in the late trading.
 The close was few points off from the best under renewed realizing.
 Private cables attributed the decline in Liverpool to straddle selling in a narrow market and Manchester cabled that cloths were featureless, with of fers unsatisfactory and yarns firm with little doing.
