NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Jan, ee.-R1-The cot
ton market worked lower in today's
early trading owing TO renewal Of
near month liquidation with some south
etn or local selling Inspired By relative
ly easy Liverpool cables. The opening
was barely steady at a decline of to
IL points, and active months showed net
losses Of to ~ points by the end Of
the first hour, March selling off TO
20.0sc. and october to 1sl5c. Houses
with Liverpool connections were moder-
ate buyers heTe coupled with a little
trade buying ahd covering. but the sup
port was limited and the easter ruling
Of the near Month had rather an I'M
settling effect on sentiment.
Private cables reported hedging and
continental selling in Liverpool, with a
fair spot demend from spinners and ex-
porters and a. considerable cloth inquiry
from India.
The earlyl decline was checked by
covering but the demand was supplied
on rallies Of 3 or 4 points. The market
was quiet att midday with March sell
ing around e0.l0c, and October 1S.i4c,
or 10 to ~ points net lower.

FORBES Sees GOOD CAUSE
FOR MIAMI'S GREAT BOOM
By B. c. FORBES

That language we are entirely ia
miliar with in Wall street. The stock
market as whole, and individual
stocks. sometimes reach exactly that
state-operators regard quotations as
very high. but they expect them TO
90 IN still farther before a reaction
sets in. When stocks reach this CON
dition, investment ceases and specuia-
ton begins.
l don't say that Miami real estate
has reached this stage. only know
that some operators are acting as out
lined.
My own humble opinion is that,
even in the business section OF the
city prices of land have At least caught
up with the city's growth. MY guess
would be that sooner or later there
will come what always comes in the
stock market after spectacular advance,
namely, a reaction.
Before | left New York I rather
expected there would be a violent col
LAPSE towards the end OF this win
ter. Now | am inclined TO think the
activity will continue longer. and there
Is actually more ground for the rise
than 1 had imagined.
Business property in Miami. as in
Los Angeles, MAJ fluctuate with gen-
eral conditions, but over a long pc
riod the trend can hardly fail TO he
upwards after whatever reimbursement
may be necessary as a consequence OF
the recent and present phenomenal ac-
tivity. But while | have faith in the
ultimate value OF property in the bust

about some Of the outlying develop
ments and subdivisions. Their name
is legion.

On this subject hope to write after

life" is said to have been one of the
last remarks Of Little Abe" And
possibly he was truthful in statement.
for there scarcely was a "big" case Of
any kind in which the name Of Howe
and Hummel did not figure before he
fell afoul of the law in inducing
Charles +. Dodge to make false af-
fidavit that he was not served with a
summons in the divorce suit Of Dodge's
wife.
When Hummel was convicted OF
subornation of perjury he fought bit
terly but finally he accepted the de-
cision of the court and went TO Black
wells Island. This was on May II,
1907. The morning after his arrival
on the island Hummel was found, ac-
cording to the diagnOsticians, to be
suffering from a complete nervous
breakdown.
HOSPITAL PATIENT.
Unlike most prisoners on the island,
Hummel did not see the coal pile nor
push the wheelbarrow. He was hos
pital patient until March 10. 1908,
when his term Of one year, with time
off for good behavior, ended. Two
days later Little Abe" sailed on board
the Lusitania for Europe and since
that time, except in 1911, he remained
there.
Several times previously he had been
reported dead. He never took the
trouble TO deny the reports. He was
rs years old.

attorney caused Hummel's undoing. In
one of the Thaw trials, Hummel. al
