COTTON PRICES
WORK HIGHER

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 G.N.S0.
The cotton market displayed o
slightly improved tone today. fol-
lowing yesterdays rather sharp
setback.
The list was off to a generally
higher start, helped by the rise
at Liverpool, where futures were
4 to 8 points higher than due. 40
tivity was unusually light, how
ever, with most traders disposed
to stand aside pending future de-
velopments bearing on the staple.
Demand in the early dealings
came from the trade, the cont1-
nent, and Wall Street, while offer
ings came principally from spot
houses, local operators and profes-
sionals. The Census Bureau re-
ported that cotton spindles were
operated at 87.1 per cent of capac-
ity during December, moderately
below the $40 average November,
but sharply above the average Of
1873 for December, 1888.
Reports were still prevalent in
trading circles that the various
cotton cooperative associations
were definitely opposed to any
price pegging of the new crop, al
though well-informed observers
were of the opinion that extension
of the 12-cent loan was inevitable.
The latter contention was based
on the belief that the Govern
ment would do everything in its
power to protect the value Of its
cotton holdings. The basis in the
South was said to remain firm,
with little spot business being
transacted.
March closed 3 points higher
at 1874; May was up at 1851:
July up 6 at 1884; october UP
S at 12.43. and December was
up at 1881.

METAL MARKETS

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 G.N.sD.-cop-
per sales abroad today were in mod
crate volume with the price ranging
about the better levels of late yes
terday. Sales were being made at
6.875 cents a pound c. j. f. Hamburg,
HaVre and London as compared with
total range of 6.775 to $50 cents yes
terday.
The advance is generally attributed
to better feeling about the possible sue
cess of curtailment conferences. In re-
lation to the last, Ferdinand Pisart of
katanga, is due in New York on the
Europea on January "a. The visit may
be the first move toward inclusion of
the American producers in the confer
ference.
In the domestic market the price
was unchanged at cents a pound de-
livered to the end of April. Sales
Thursday were slightly in excess of
LOO tons and buying continues good.
Lead market continued quiet and
dull with the price unchanged at $40
cents pound New York and S.55 cents
st. Louis. Producers are optimistic, ex-
pecting sales for February delivery to
pick up soon.
Zinc prices were unchanged, holding
firmly at 3.75 cents a pound East St.
Louis. Although consumers industries
are doing well. producers of zinc are
not expecting an advance tin price yet
because of the depressant effect of
substantial output and stocks.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 U.N.s).-The
cotton goods market has shown con-
siderable nervousness during the week,
with the erratic swings in raw cotton
futures making for a generally cautious
attitude on the part of would-be buy
ers. Activity on the whole was linn
tied, as mills were not inclined to
mark down constructions to the bid
prices on the belief that regardless of
conditions, buyers would be forced to
fill immediate requirements without
much further delay. Late in the
inch 5.S5-yard S4xSOs for February,
March delivery at SIS cents, and so
squares for February-March at 91s
cents, both ruling slightly below the
levels in evidence at the outset of the
weeks trading. However, these quota
tions were the exception, or most sell
ers were still holding to the higher
levels ruling week ago. Narrow
sheetings and other coarse yarn goods
were quiet and generally steady

Positive Rabies Case
Discovered On Ives St.
Quarantine of Dogs Ordered By Health Department;
State Officials Verify Dog Warden's Suspicion

Northeastern Waterbury was to-
day placed under q dog quararl-
tine on orders Of DR.. Edward J.
Godfrey. city health officer as the
result of a report from Hartford
that dog seized on Ives street
Saturday was afflicted with bad
case of rabies. The quarantine goes
into effect Immediately and will
be continued until the present dan
ger Is passed.
The far eastern section of the
city is already under quarantine as
the result of rabies being found
in dog which was running loose
in that section some weeks ago.
Several persons who came into
contact with that animal were
given medical treatment as pre-
ventive and protective measure.
The dog found Saturday is re-
ported by arden Coleman
O'Loughlin to have been owned by
Francis Tracy of 6 Ives street. The
dog was found to be sick and War
den O'Loughlin visited the neigh
borhood. The dog was killed and
its head sent to the state health
department at Hartford for exam
ination. Word came back in a few
hours that the report was positive
and that the animal was afflicted
with the dread disease.
Investigation was underway to-
day to find out what persons had
come into contact with the dog
while he was i'll, SO that they can
be given treatment. Meanwhile dog
owners in the northeastern sec
ton must follow h rules of the
quarantine and keep dogs confined
to their own property.

Several of Girl Workers to Get Direct Jobs in Mutual
Aid Workshop Similar Shops in Bridgeport and
New Haven May Have Same Fate

Operated in the same building for
some time previous to the estab-
lishment of the mattress project,
the workshop employs a group Of
Mutual Aid workers engaged prin-
cipally in the manufacture of these
two articles.
Whether employment can be
found for the entire staff Of the
mattress factory on Mutual Aid
projects is uncertain.
Local Conditions Favorable
Three factories were established
in Connecticut last October with
federal approval. The government
supplied the ticking and cotton
necessary for the manufacture OF
the mattresses, as we'll as special
power machines, constructed along
heavy lines. Waterbury was parti-
cularly fortunate in having not
only an ideal location for the in
dustry, but sewing machines and
other equipment necessary for the
work.
Federal authorities, it is under
stood, have declined to make the
necessary appropriations for cot
ton and other material.

He will be attached to the ad-

In Mr.. Reynolds absence his

Reynoldses to-day were unable to

pressed the opinion that the duties

Mr.. Reynolds will spend the first

instructions as to his duties.
Surprise Appointment
The appointment came as a COM

receiving consideration. He ac-

The FERA mattress factory oper-
Rted for the past several months in
the Mutual Aid workshop on North
Elm street, and employing approx
imately so persons will suspend
operations due to the failure of the
federal government to make fur
ther appropriations, it was learned
today.
With the exception of three or
four men employed as foremen
and in positions not suitable for
female labor, most of the persons
working in the local factory were
women. Two other mattress shops,
one in New Haven and one in
Bridgeport, were established in
Connecticut as FERA projects last
fall when the Waterbury factory
was set up. Both of the others, it
is understood, will also be dropped
from the list of federal projects.

Victory for e. w. Goss
That the present staff of the city
court would be entirely reappointed
was predicted by The Democrat al
most a month ago. This prediction
was based on authentic informa-
ton received at Hartford during
the closing days of the 1895 ses-
sion Of the state legislature. The
reappointment Of Attorney Summa
is considered direct win for ex-
Congressman e. w. Goss who per-
sonally visited Hartford and de-
manded that he be retained. AS a
result of ex-Congressman Goss' de-
mand, State Chairman J.. Henry
Roraback refused to interfere in
the squabble here between the two

reappointment was also demanded
by state republican leaders,

Contest Was Bitter One
The action of the judges today
in announcing the court STAFF for
the coming two years brings to an
end a bitter contest for the two
republican prosecutorships Al
times It was also reported that the
''new guard" republicans had their
eyes on the probation job held by

So bitter did the contest become
that both sides visited Hartford
