With the best of feeling for all in

matter. Mr.. Sullivan has filled well
the only office for which he has ever
asked-that of County Register-and

his whole duty with the same courtesy
and conscientiousness that has hereto
fore marked his public and private
life.

A resident of Lexington, who was
recently called to Memphis as wit
ness in the case of Jake Marshall,
says that while there he heard much
politics talked and from what he
heard gathered the opinion that in
Shelby County Capt. G. 7. Fitzhugh,
in the race for the United States Sen
ate primary will get more votes
than both X. ID. Mcclellan and Ham
Patterson. We also notice the state
ment that Capt. Fitzhugh is gaining
ground in Middle Tennessee since he
has visited that part of the State-in
other words, where Capt Fitzhugh be-
comes known he is bound to win votes.
for the people can readily see that he
is far superior to his opponents in
the race.

COTTON MADE COOP AD VAN CE AT TER
 AN EARLY LOW DIP.
General Staple List Closed Steady, Net Three Points Higher to Five Points
 Lower on Day
By Associated Press

New York, January 24.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled again today, but after breaking into prices rallied on covering. March contracts broke to 17.15c and rallied to 17.46c. closing at 17,44c, compared with 17.42c at the close yesterday. The general market closed steady, net 3 points higher to points lower.
 The market opened barely steady at decline of to 14 points, owing to weak Liverpool cables, unfavor- able reports from Manchester and discouraging advices from the cotton goods trade. For a time the selling was active and before the decline was checked active months showed net losses of 22 to 30 points with January selling at 17.1Sc and May at 16.76c. In the case of March contracts this made a decline of a little over s10 per bale as compared with the high price touched right after the holidays.
 Offerings then became lighter and there were rallies during the after noon, which carried January up to 1747c and May to 17.07c. with the more active months selling some to points net higher. There was also little trade buying, but except for the covering very little support was noted around the ring and closing prices were shade off from the best. Reports that the Japanese silk ex- change had been closed yesterday ow ing to the break in raw silk had an unsettlng effect on sentiment
 According to trade advices the col lapse of the bull market in East h. dian cotton at Bombay reported yes terday referred to the breaking down of bull deal in January contracts in that market which occurred on Jan uary 15.
 According to these advices the actual cotton held by the old January long interest in Bombay has been taken over by a committee to be gradually liquidated for the benefit of creditors. Private cables reported Alexandria bulls reselling in Liver pool owing to dull trade and no signs of improvement.

Rising Temperatures
 Helped Bolster Up
 Chicago Grain Pit
By Assoclated Press

Chicago, January 24,-Rising tenn peratures helped today to dissipate fear of crop damage and to offset in the wheat market the effect of higher quotations at Liverpool and Buenos Aires. The close here was easy at the same as yesterdays finish to ssc lower, with May $1.15h to s1.15ss and July s1.01% to s1.0l7s Corn gained % %@hc to h O asc; oats closed un- changed to Is e h c lower, and pro- visions unchanged to sc decline.
 At first the wheat market had an upward tendency owing to the most to advices in prices shown in foreign values. Besides. during the early trading here, offers to sell lacked vol ume and there was talk of the small ness of farm reserves of wheat and about the rapid decrease of stocks at terminals. On the ensuing advance in the Chicago market, however, selling tc realize profits took on larger pro- portions and in the last half of the day setback was in progress. with opinion spreading that despite lack of snow protection the cold weather in jury to winter wheat had probably been insignificant. This opinion was based more or less on reports that farmers in Kansas were making fair deliveries of wheat and that the con- trary would be the case if damage had been serious.
 Liberal export buying, together with lessening of hedging sales, was responsible for the advance in the corn market. Oats were ne- glected.
 Provisions followed the action of the hog market and at the last ap- peared to be dominated by evident re- luctance of packers to pay more than 9c for hogs.

New Orleans. January 24.-While overnight selling orders carried the cotton market off on the opening to- day and moderate selling pressure persisted for the greater part of the morning session. a reactionary feeling commenced to. put in appearance to- ward midsession and in the afternoon a fairly strong market developed. From declines under yesterdays close of 20 to 22 points there was rise to levels 2 to 8 points over, March fall ing off to 1615c and then reacting to 16.43c. On the close the tone was steady and prices were l point down to points up. net for the day, with March at 16.3Sc.
 Much of the early selling could be traced to the news of the setback given the bulls in the Bombay cotton market, although reports during the day claimed that these reserves were about a week old. Liverpool reported a slower market for Egyptian cotton and relayed over accounts from Man chester of highly unfavorable na- ture. telling of wide drops in the price of yarns and little. business doing. The cotton mill strikes in Rhode Island caused more or less selling and further rains in the belt helped to increase sentiment against the mar ket.
 As the decline progressed shorts commenced to buy covers In large way and their demand finally reached proportions sufficient to carry the market upward in a fairly strong manner. New buying for long account appeared in the early afternoon on

HUBBARD BROS, LETTER

New York. January 24.-(Special.) ) The failure of large cotton mer- chant in Bombay and continued poor trade in Manchester caused another sharp break in Liverpool this morn ing. Heavy selling from that mar ket. together with selling from the southwest carried our market to be- low the 17Ac level for March, at which point sufficient mill calling made its appearance and checked the decline, the market remaining fairly steady during the greater part of the day.
 Sentiment is quite bearish, as the trade feels that the south is showing signs of being uneasy, and there is no fresh buying excepting the fix ing of prices on old commitments. We expect the market to gradually decline-Hubbard Brosi & Co.

statement was made that the demand for cotton seed for planting promises to be much larger than last season but the demand is now falling some what and during the remainder of the selling period will depend on trend of cotton prices.
 It is only natural to expect some increase in the cotton acreage this year because of the probable need of a large crop by the trade next season but there is not likely to be big increase owing to the poor financial condition of the farmers and the diff ficulty to obtain credit from bankers and merchants in the weevil ridden sections of the cotton region.
 There is lot of bearish propa- ganda going the rounds, but the spin dies of the world keep comparatively active and are likely to become ac- tive in England which is the only country tagging behind because of the situation in India which may i'm prove sooner than expected.-H. & H. Beer.
