FOUND DEAD
NEAR TUSCARORA

The dead body OF a man was found
Yesterday between TusCarora and
Midas. Up 10 the present time the
body has not neen positively identi-
fled. bnt it is believed TO be that of a
stranger who was in Midas about
Christmas time. and who suddenly dis
appeared. II Is thought that the man
started for Tuscarora on loot, follow
ing the telephone line. and that he be-
came exhausted and frozc TO death.
The body was i'll bad state of de-
composition when found, and mag
pies had eaten away practically all Of
the face and other exposed parts. The
clothing was well preserved and in the
pockets were y number OF cards and
papers. but none of these served as a
means OF Identification. On watch,
the name Ii. L. Sutton was engraved,
or rather scratched with a pen knife,
and il is possible that this was the
name of the deceased.
The body Was taken TO Tuscarora
and an inquest wa" conducted by
Justice OF the Peace Clark. but TO evi'
dcnce OF a satisfactory nature was ad
duCed.

gether with machinery and wagons.
Through the vigorous efforts of
those on the ranch and neighbors who
were attracted by the blaze and came
to assist, the residence Was saved.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Nov. 23.-There was
a renewal of heavy liquidation in
the cotton market early today. Liver
pool was irregular and unsettled with
the cables lower than due and the
opening here was 20 to % points low
er. There seemed to be supporting
orders around the ring, while some
fresh buying was inspired by bullish
overnight spot advices from the
south on which January sold up to
20.26 and May to 20.65 right after
the call. This bulge, however, seemed
to meet increased offerings and the
market soon weakened again with
January selling off to 20.10 and May
to 2O.55 before the end of the first
hour, or into new low ground for the
movement and about 80 to 81 points
under last nights closing figures.
Private cables reported stop loss sell
ing in Liverpool. Wall street inter-
ests were heavy sellers here.
Continued weakness in Liverpool
and heavy Liverpool selling here in
creased the excitement of the local
trade and the market broke to 19N3
for January and 20.41 for May, be-
fore the end of the morning, or about
43 to 40 points under last nights
closing figures. This made a de-
cline of over $500 per bale from the
high records Of Tuesday morning and
the market was steadied by covering.
Western buying and renewal of
local bull support, trading later be-
came less active with the market
comparatively quiet and steady
around midday, with rallies of 10
to IL points from the lowest.
Cotton futures closed unsettled.

NEW oRLEAN scoTToN.

New Orleans, Nov. 23.-Poor cables
and continued liquidation of long ac-
count, combined with moderate short
selling, caused decline of q to %
points in the price of cotton in the
first half hour of business on this
market today. The tone on the OPEN
ing was irregular, the market soon
steadying at the decline.
With several partial recoveries, the
market worked materially lower. AT
the lowest, in the trading up to noon,
the active months were 4S to 48
points down, net.
Failure of spots to follow the de-
cline in futures, steadied the contract
market in the afternoon and at 1880
prices were 10 to % points up from
the lowest, but still were 20 to 26
points under yesterdays close.
Spot cotton closed quiet and un-
changed. Middling, 1000; sales on
the spot, 200 bales; to arrive, $40
bales.
Cotton futures closed steady at
the decline at a net loss of 80 to
45 points.
