MARKET CLIMBS TO
 NEW HlGi RECORD
Buyers Encouraged by Rullish Spot Market -- Close 35-72 Points Up-Crop Estimate is i0,St0,000 Bales.

January cotton today reached the highest mark yet, closing at POOP. Spot cotton closed at 5 points up. These figures are the highest known in the market. A continued advance is predicted.
 New York, Nov. 13.-There was a big advance in the cotton market here today, with March and all later de- liveries making new high records for the season. Marsh sold up to 1894. or 46 points above Saturdays closing figures, while early new crop deliv- cries sold about 75 to so points net higher, with September touching the l9c level. Closing prices were very steady and from 35 to 72 points above the final figures of last week.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 20 to 32 points on general buying, inspired by the strength of, Liverpool and crop estimate from Memphis, placing the actual growth of the season at only 10,S00000 bales.
 There was a good deal of realizing around the opening figures, but offer ings were readily absorbed on reac- tions of or 10 points from the best, and the market sold about 90 to 10 points net higher before midday. As the price worked above 20 cents for May, offerings increased again and there was an early afternoon setback of 10 or l2 points, but buying was en- couraged by bullish Southern spot ad- vices and the highest prices of the day were reached in the late trading, when January sold at 19.76 ard May at 20.09, or about 40 to 46 points net higher on the old crop positions. New crop months, which have been selling at very big discounts, led the after noon advance. October contracts sold up to 18.S5c, or so points above Satur- days closing figures, with the advance meeting very small offerings, owing to the strength of the old crop posi- tions.
 Cotton closed very steady.

SUPREME COURT TO
 INTERPRET MANN ACT
Diggs, Caminetti and Hayes Cases, For Violation White Slave Law, Are Argued in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Argument over whether the Mann white slave" act applies to immoral escapades or only to cases involving transportation of women for commercial gain began late today before the Supreme Court. The law has been upheld by the court, but the question Of interpretation is raised for the first time in appeals of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury L. Diggs of Sacramento and L. T. Hayes of Ava, Okla, all charged with trans porting women in violation of the law, but with the elements of commercial ism and coercion absent.
 The present administration of the Department of Justice has brought prosecutions in all cases of transpor- tation of women for immora! pur- poses, whether for commercial pur- poses of not.
 During today's hearing Harry O. Chaser, attorney for appellants, in- sisted that the title of the white slave" act indicates absence of intent by Congress to have the law applied to cases of "mere immortality" He said that fair interpretation of the act is that it was intended solely to prevent traffic in women for immoral purposes by prohibiting their inter- state transportation.
 Assistant Attorney General Wallace argued that Congress has power to prevent immortality by barring the transportation of women for immoral purposes.
 "The extent or degree of immoral ity should not be a factor" said Mir. Wallace, "the purpose of the law is to prevent debauchery of women."
 He referred to the case of Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, in which the departments interpretation had been sustained. However, he admitted l that judges of lower federal courts had differed regarding the laws con- struction. He admitted that Diggs, Caminetti and Hayes were indicted for otfenses without clements of com mercialism.
 The arguments were not concluded today.

WILSON GAINS IN RECOUNT.

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-Offcial re- count of the votes cast last Tuesday began all over California today, and tonght, with the task swinging along rapidly, no reports had reached poli- tical headquarters which alter the general results of the unofficial can vass.
 In San Francisco President Wilson's lead was increased by six votes, with about one-sixth of the precincts re- counted. The counting was watched closely by checkers, lawyers and eX- pert accountants employed ~by both the Republican and Democratic state organizations.
 Unofficial reports from other coun- ties showed in all cases small gains for President Wilson.

Political Cauldron Is Beginning
to Boil-Mayor and Sheriff
Aspirants Busy
LEAP YEAR BALL A BIG So
CIAL SUCCESS

While it is yet early to speculate much
in regard to the coming election In Bel
fast, it looks very much as II there
would be an interesting campaign within
the next two months. Hanson. the DEM
ocratic leader, after two years out OF
politics, has entered the ring and an
nounces himself candidate for mayor.
The Republicans it would seem from talk
made by party leaders, have no idea
of giving the Democrats clear field.
and will undoubtedly put strong candi-
date in the field. Mayor Charles K.
Coombs is expected to be the choice Of
the party although he stated Wednesday
morning to the Journal correspondent
that he did not care to accept the nomi-
nation If offered him.
For sheriff there also seems to be sew
eral candidates. The present sheriff.
Frank A. Cushman of Montville, is now
serving his second term of office. Mr..
Cushman will be candidate on the Re-
publican ticket. Percy l.. Edgcomb has
announced his candidacy for sheriff on
the Democratic ticket and Hamlin Jen-
kins of Brooks, nephew of ex Sheriff Ed
win Jenkins of Belfast, will also be a
candidate.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features OF the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks

New York, Jan. 5.-The salient fea-
ture of today's feverish market was its
sturdy resistance to pressure. Selling
lor poth accounts were persistent liq-
uldatlon converging about numerous
speclalties while investment shares
were the largest of bearish agrees
slons. Lowest prices were made this
morning after the potential leaders
notably United States Steel in the
final hour. Losses were comparatively
small in that class.
Sentiment among professional trad
ers suggested greater anxiety con-
corning the outcome of international
affairs now under official discussion,
but the conservative element, as rep
resented by substantial banking in
terests expressed it's belief in salts
factory adjustment. There were I'M
confirmed rumors dealing with the at
titude Of local financial institutions
towards industrial securities, which
was heightened by yesterdays sudden
rise in call money to per cent, the
highest rate for the accommodation in
over a year.
