NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NKW ORLEANS. —There is no preront
active interest in the local spot market.
Even under normal conditions trading
would have been greatly restricted today
by the weather, and consequent poor
light in sample rooms, but as previous
ly stated, there is no mill demand now
and factors are compelled to accept ma
terially lower prices in order to induce
buyers to take hold. The movement
would be better if the market were sup
plied with n few lists of the middle
grades, for which there is some requests,
but stocks now consist mainly of nigh
grades and non-descripts, the bulk ot
which will be carried over in all likeli
hood, into the new crop season.
The contract market opened almost 6
points higher today, under the influence
of a better Liverpool and unfavorable
rain reports from the interior and moved
up two or three points additional, but
the improvement did not hold, the mar
ket being sold off by profit taking ring
traders to a noon level showing a net
gain of a single point over yesterday s
close.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
Today’s Stock Market
By T. C SHOTWELL
NEW YORK -Could shares were strong In Wall street today and
substantial gains were recorded hi them as a result of the announce
ment that E. H. Harrlman would in the future dictate the policy of
those railroads. The new alliances formed in behalf of Erie which has
finally gained its own entrance Into Pittsburg, caused that stock to bo
very strong again at high prices. C. P. was in good demand around, the
top figures recorded yesterday and the whole railroad list seemed to
be under the influence of Harrinian's remarkable victory over Gould.
Amalgamated Copper and Smelters were leaders of the mining nnd
industrial lists. Steel common was a laggard in the early trading
Amalgamated touched a new high record upon the announcement that
there were good sales of copper metal at the new high figure establish
ed this week. The copper improvement also had influcce on the curb,
where Cumberland Ely and Nevada Consolidated both rose to new high
figures for this movement, other curb stocks were active, particularly
those of the Cobalt and Goldfield camps.
The Tufl speech seems to have failed almost entirely as a market
influence. ,
In Londn American shares were strong and the Harrtman-Gould alli
ance had a very favorable effect on sentiment. C. P. was a leader
again.
Cotton was strong but not mat erially changed.

IS
It was learned on good authority
this afternoon that the decision ot
the city lihll commission in awarding
the contract for the building of tho
new structure would lie met by a mi
nority report, which will bo presented
to council at its meeting Monday
night.
It is understood that the minority
report will contend that the figures
are too high and if their contentions
are sustained it ts quite probable that
all the bids will he rejected and
council will ask ft • now bids.
The action of the <i hall rontmls
sion in accepting the bid amounts to
merely a recommendation to council
and It remains with that body If Ihe
bids shall be accepted or rejected.

SENATOR BROCK FLAYS
ATLANTA PAPER
ATLANTA, Oa There wns one real
angry senator at. the capital yester
day. lie was Hon, .1. It Hroek, chair
man of the senate penitentiary coin
tnltt.ee. Ills anger was t|ie result of
tli« Insinuations of an Atlanta news
paper In connection with the lost por-
Hon of Ills report on the Challahoo
chle Hrlck company camp, a carbon
cony of the original report being sup
plied by Senator Stapleton who was
also a member of the committee
which IriveKtlgaifcd the camps Inst
fall. Senator Hroek denounc'd! any
■ (Tort to represent him as having
tried to block or d day nny legislation
looking to a thorough investigation of
the convict, system In Georgia as an
unqualified and inlllclmis falsehood.
He paid his respects to the paper In
question raying he thought there wa
some limit to yellow Journalism. The
speech of Senator Hroek, which he
delivered after rising on a question of
personal privilege, created somewhat
of a ripple on the quiet surface of the
senate yesterday.
