Ltthonia New Era : "The Sticks” as the
big ledge woods have been famiilary called
by pe >ple round about were raided by
Deputy Sheriff Jasper Jenkins, with a large
p ass on last Sunday. “The Sticks” have
long been a terror to the good citizens of
our county, as the home of debauchers and
violators of law and order. (Jur fear.ess
and determined deputy sheriff decided that
everything in his power should be done to
break np the resort. The features of Sun
day’s raid are interesting. Just before the
sheriff's posse arrived at “The Sticks” it
eon ded as it a general fuelllado were going
on, but when the posse appeared the sceue
became one of wild disorder. Men scat
tered in ail directions, running over each
other in their wiid efforts to escape arrest.
There muet have been esveral hundred of
those Sunday roughs assembled. Situated
in the nndst of the woods were two blind
tiger saloons. The sheriff’s posse made for
theae and surrounded them out the pro
prietor* had escaped. The sheriff then
raided the places and captured quite a large
supply of liquor of various kinds, full blind
tiger outfits, books of accounts, etc , with
plenty of evidence aga net the lleeiug pro
prietors. whioh he will hold for the delecta
tion of I)e Kalb’s next grand jury. Although
the proprietors escaped, it is altogether
likely they will soon be boarding at Deoatur.
In the afternoon tbe sheriff strengthened
bis posse for another raid and visited the
mountain place kept by a well-known young
man about town, but he had heard
the news from "The Btloks,” and fled,
having first posted on his door the following
notice: “Please don’t brake in, there ain't
nothing in here." Then another raid on
"the Stioks” was the order aud it was made.
The orowd there were small compared with
the morning, but etlll enough to give the
tv .see some fun, but they were wide awake
aud fled in hot haste at the appearance of
the posse. Two orowde of negro gamblers
were all that were flushed, they escaped,
leaving three pistols oaptured by the sheriff.
One of the orowds showed fight at tbe
posse as he ran, quite a number of shots
were exchanged, but no one was hurt and
none were caught. Constant raids will be
kept up and "the Stioks” will be oivllUed if
the strong arm of the law oan do it.

Nrw York, Deo. 10, noon.—The demand for
cotton futures was unusually light even for
Saturday. The lower tendency, which de
veloped toward the close last evening, was fol
lowed this morning with very smail transac
tions, with January selling down to 9 37c, Feb
ruary to 9 47c, March to 9 480. April to 9 9c.
May 9 780. June 9 86c. and August to 10 010.
January was pressed for sale soon after the
opening and broke to 9 82c, rallying to 9 3c by
11 o’clock. February declined to 9 41c, and re
acted to 9 46c. March broke to 9 53c, then ad
vanced to 9 59a Distant months attracted but
little attention. The reactionary movement at
Liverpool discouraged buy rs, and fears that
the anti-option bill would tie taken up by the
Senate Monday intensified the bearish feeling
Receipts in the southwest are larger tbau they
should be for the bull element. Galveston and
New Orleans' rec lpts for the day were esti
mated at considerable in exoeas of last year.
The local trade was Indisposed to enter into
new engagements to any great extent, con
sequently the brief session was dull and spirit
less. New York spot market was easy at 9 580
on sales of 601 hales for consumption and 400
on contract. Good ordinary 8%0. low middling
9 5 18e, and middling 944 c. Futures moved up
toward the close, January touching 9 57c and
9 58c, March 9 67c, on private advices that the
passage of the anti-option bill was doubtful.

New York, Deo. 10.— The following summary
of Hubbard, Price & Co.’s letter is as follows:
"The visible supply of cotton this morning was
4,192,653 bales aod the crop insight 3,934,457
bales. Liverpool advices this morning reported
a decline of from 3 64@4-64d for futures. Bpot
rales were 5,000 bales. Our own market opened
at a decline of 2 points, lost 5 points more, and
then advanced 10 points. The early decline
was due to the execution of selling orders,
based upon the fear that the ami option bill
will come up for consideration of the Senate on
Monday. The recovery was the result of a
rumor coming via Chicago that consideration
of the bill had been deferred for ten days. The
latter rumor is unconfirmed, and the best in
formation we can get is that the bill will be
taken up and debated upon early next week.
The crop report continues in a uniformly un
favorable strain. Advices from abroad with
regard to the strike still continue conflicting.
Receipts for the day are estimated at 35,000
bal-s, against 35,000 bales last year. Receipts
of New Orleans for the week are estimated at
90.0X1 bales and at Galveston 48,000 bales. Esti
mates of the movement for the weeit are about
250,000 bales. Last year for the same week they
were 275,000 bales."
Cotton advices from Liverpool were consider
ably better than was generally expected, and
the imeritr movement showed a smaller total
than was estimated; but nevertheless this
market opened easy at a decline of l@3 points
and then further weakened 5@6 points, due to
selling by local operators in consequence of ttie
general understanding that a renewal of the
agitation of tbe anti-option bill will be started
on Monday, and the report being received from
Washington stating that It is rumored that
Senator Washburn has a majority of 10 votes
In the Senate for his bill. Then the market
rallied and advanc -d B@7> points, with room
t aaers moderate buyers to cover short sales
made at the opening. Later the market further
advanced 9@12 points on a rumor that the
anti-option bill will not be brought up In the
Senate at all during the oomiug week. Shortly
before the close renewed selling by hoi iers
caused prices to react 3@4 points, but the close
was steady. Receipts at the ports were esti
mated at 35,00 b bales, against 37,000 bales the
same day last week and 36,000 bales fur tbe
corresponding day last year.
