 ON SATURDAY NIGHT

Open house will be observed at the Y. NJ. C. A Saturday night in the gymnasium There will be boxing match between the Company l. heavy weight and the Bisbee dark horse. An other feature of the evening will be a fast and clever wrestling exhibition. The faculty team of the public schools and Company L will compete for first honors in the art of basket ball. Both teams are in good shape and this will be a fast and furious game. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the evening will be the volly ball game between the Douglas and Bisbee teams. Douglas expects to win the game, but come out and see Bisbee show them how to play the game. The Bisbee team vii be composed of pick. ed men from both the 5 o'clock and s o'clock clubs.

Confidence Is GroWing Among
 Haly's Allies
(RH Review Leased Wirel


 WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN ITALY, Dec. I7, Monday.-(By the Associated Press. .)-There is growing confidence in the strength of the al lied forces to hold back the Austrct Germans from breaking through into the plains. The snow. which after falling last week only in sufficient huantities to make the frontal posi- tions plainly visible. but not enough to obstruct the enemy's progress, has be- gun again, and apparently in earnest. Although the Austrians have had Der etta for three days every desperate effort to advance has been frustrated.
 A marked strengthening of the French positions since they took up their front has been noted. principally by greatly reduced casualties. The attacks have not ceased, nor lessen ed in violence, but the crack French troops have altered and deepened their trenches, on the one hand are making themselves fore secure against the enemy. and. on the other hand. are taking up positions that give them control from the observa' ton advantages. such as the Austrians have elsewhere, which enable them to outflank any Austrian attack on the upper Pisve. The alteration of the trenches is going on everywhere and is considered of especial importance as the original shelters were so shal low that the men were constantly eN posed to rifle fire and sniping unles: they moved about bent nearly double

DOUGLASLOOSES FIRST R0UND ID OBTAIN
 THE COUNTY SEAT

Last night was a gloomy one in Douglas and from reports it is very doubtful if George H. Kelly slept a wink and the real estate boomers who had sites for the court house began to look for other purchasers. all this was caused by the fact that the county seat removal petitions were yester- day declared to be illegal by the board of supervisors and were thrown out and the funny part of it was that the motion was made by Jack Sparks. the Douglas member. who has been behind the county seat removal, and the other members MeSsrS. Rock and Chairman Johnson voted with him On Tuesday when the petition. which was called Number Two, was taken up, il was shown that there was every evidence of fraud on the part of someone who had charge of the circulation of the petition. Affadavits were presented on Tuesday to show the fraud but the Douglas contingent wanted further proof and it was forthcoming yester- day when a number of witnesses from Bisbee were out on the stand and gave their testimony in regard 10 the peti- tion- It was then further shown that there was fraud and that the petition would have to be thrown out and that if it was it would not leave sufficient names to make the petition a valid one. so NIT. Sparks, realizing that there was no chance to win out, made the motion to declare the petition void
 The mandanus Droceedines that are now pending in the supreme court will be dismissed It is not known as yet whether the Douglas people will again get busy and try to have another peti- ton signed at the present time or not- They seem to be divided on the matter and some of them are inclined to let the matter rest for the present on ac- count of the war. while others want to get busy and nave another petition circulated at once

New Orleans Cntton

New Orleans, February 2.-There were extremely wide price changes in todays sessions of the cotton market with active months at times lightly above the level of yesterdays close and at others far be- low. At the lowest the weakest months showed net decline of over 100 points. The greatest selling pressure cane late in the day and was inspired chiefly by the rumor that Americans had been warned out of Germany. The tone on the close was easy and last prices were at a net loss of S5 to 105 points.
 On the opening the market momentarily sold about points higher than yestcr- days quotations, but immediately went lower under general selling which forced trading months to a net decline of about a quarter of a cent a pound. Following this slump the market did better on fresh buying and toward noon, on reports that spot buyers in the interior were taking an interest in the market. the strongest months were 6 to 10 points over yester- days final prices.
 Real weakness gradually developed in the afternoon. Small mill takings for the week discouraged bullish traders and sentiment against the market grew fol- lowing the rumor that an American ves- gel had been sunk by German subma- rine. Then came the rumor about Amer jeans being ordered from Germany. which destroyed any lingering bull SUD- port. From the highest to the lowest the fall amounted to 100 to 106 points; at the lowest levels of the day the market stood 90 to 105 points under yesterdays close.

{ New York, February 2.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade circles have been disturbed by the grace character of tho new German note and speculative markets depressed by waves of liquidation, shipping rates and insurance rates sharply advanced and hesitancy in buying of bulk commodi-
 ties engendered pending developments. But most of the weeks business had been transacted before publication of the note and all accounts agree in chroniclinx re- markabIe activity with wants rather than high prices propelling buying. while scarcity of goods. insufficient productive capacity. lack of labor and shortage of railway cars loom as largo as ever. Dis tribution by retail dealers has been ani- mated by cold weather over a wide area and in consequence reorders for winter
 goods expanded Incidentally, visiting buyers throng the leading markets, thus Increasing house trade in spring fabrics, while road salesmen up to the issuance of the German note had been sending in large orders. Bank clearings, $6149. sos, ,0Oo. . loss of 4.2 per cent from last week.

MARKET RETR|EVES
 SOME LOST GROUND
Operations on Moderate Scale Indicate Uncertainty
 of the Foreign Situation

New York, February 2--For brief period today's market gave promise of retrieving much of the ground lost in yesterdays severe and general set back, stocks displaying comparative strength toward forenoon after an ir- regular opening. e
 Except for the first and final hours operations were on 8 moderate scale, the aggregate being only a little more than half of yesterdays large turnover. The undertone of caution indicated that the uncertainties re- specting relations between Washing ton and Berlin still remain the fore most factor.

St. Paul, Reading, Northern Pacific and Erie second preferred fell points each; Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific 4, and New York Central almost 6 points, with l to 2 points in other transportation issues of equal prom thence.
 United States Steel at one time was as high as 1041s, 1ss points over yesterdays closing figure, but receded to 100h. clos ing at small fraction over it's minimum. Other shares of the same class lost to points, with ? to for ols, to for motors and shippings, Baldwin Locomo- tive and Peoples Gas.
 Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which devel- oped weakness prior to the recent slump, lost 6 points, selling down to 6S13, it's lowest price since 1910. American To- bacco featured the high price industrials Total sales amounted to 900 snares

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, February 2.-Rumors that an American ship had been sunk and that loss of life had resulted brought about much selling in the wheat mar ket today and caused an unsettled close. The finish ranged from 2Ec decline to 21sc advance as compared with yesterdays latest figures. Corn and oats wound up virtually unchanged and provisions 10@ S2c higher.
 Hurried trading G wheat did not develop until the last hour of the ses- sion and was confined chiefly to the May option.
 Lack of confirmation of an attack on American craft served to check . general fall in prices. It was not un- til after the days business was at all end that the probable basis for the rumors was found in dispatches re- ferring to the destruction of Belgian relief ship, which may possibly have had Americans on board.
 Extreme cold, endangering the win ter crop, especially in Illinois and Missouri, gave a moderate lift to wheat prices during the early part of liic d6y' NSHtuTeSOiiiS buyers were Q1S- posed also to take ground that the absence as yet of any rupture between the United States and Germany af- forded hope that a break in diplo- matic relations might still be ayerted A majority of dealers, however, seemed inclined to preserve cautious atti- tude pending definite developments, and there was not much volume % business prior to the commotion due to disturbing rumors after midday.
 Indications of revival of seaboard demand for corn strengthened that cereal temporarily, but profit. taking on the part of the buyers resulted aft erward in reaction. Springfield, III, sold 100000 bushels to go to the sea- board at the highest premiums on the crcp.
 Oats merely kept pace with corn. Trade was light.
 Provisions bulged on account of buy ing that was credited to packers and to eastern houses. The best demand was for lard

COTTON MARKET
 WAS LESS ACTIVE
General List Closes Unset tied With Considerable
 Net Losses

New York, February 2.-While the cot ton market was much active today and at times seemed to be recovering from yesterdays Generalization, the tone was extremely nervous and there was big brake in the late trading. After selling at 15.26c at the opening, May broke to 14.60c, rallied to 15.03c, and then broke to 1405c, or more than 8 per bale. That delivery closed at 1409c. with the general list clos 1 ing unsettled at net loss of 70 to 106 points
 The opening was steady at an advance of 15 points on March. but generally un- changed to points lower Liverpool did i not fully meet yesterdays local decline and there was covering by March shorts lat the start, but the market quickly weakened with active months breaking 25 | to 54 points from last nights close with 1 in the first 10 minutes. Inside of another l 10 minutes there had been a rally of 20 ! to 30 points on buying by houses with Liverpool connections and covering This bulge met further liquidation of contracts carried over the break of yesterday, but the volume of business tapered off ma- terially and the market became compara- lively quiet during the middle of the day. Further foreign buying and little buy li ing from trade sources, accompanied by reports that spinners were calling cotton, combined with covering, sent the market I up several points during the early after noon. But a rumor to the effect that loans were being called in the south led 1 to a renewal of a more or less general l liquidation. The selling was not as active ! as it was on the break of yesterday, but there was good deal of excitement on
 the decline to 13.s3c for March and 14,o5c for July This carried the market back
 ] to within 15 points of yesterdays low ] level on July and the new crop made new
 | low ground for the movement with Oc-
 tober selling at 13.75c. The close was a
 shade LID from the lowest on covering.
