NEW YORK, October 23.—(Special)
—Bright was the news flashed across
the sea this morning. Liverpool ex
hibited no weakness, which was sur
prising in the face of the news from
Texas that holders in the Lone Star
state had weakened at teh eleventh
hour and decided to turn loose. Pri
vate wires from Texas confirmed the
rumors of yesterday, and it is now a
fact that milk and white flags float
over farmers union warehouses and
farmers union banks. It is also cer
tain the officers of this union have
lost caste with the disguster holders
who now regard them in the light of
“Greek gift bearers.”
The Southern Cotton Planter is the
most gullible mortal ever born.
Washington will occupy the lime
light tomorrow and issue a ginners
report showing amount ginned to
October 18th. This compares with
4,931,000 last year. General opinion
on same centers around 4,500,000.

CLARK and CO.
COTTON HELD WELL
ALL CONSIDERED.
Americus Spots Quoted
I-8 of Cent Lower.
Spurred on by a Liverpool market
which remained calm as compared to
conditions on this side of the water,
the American cotton contract mark
ets yesterday opened at small ad
vances. Further disorders in finan
cial circles proved too powerful in
fluences for cotton to stand against
and the way downward was soon point
ed. A sharp break followed the an
nouncement of the failures of the
day and prices reeled distressingly.
In a short time the market steadied
in the distant positions, though Dec
ember and October at New York ap
peared to be hopelessly weak. This
was due to the disposition of Texas
holders to turn loose in the face of
the storm in the money center and
the consequent courage of the bears
to sell regardless. Losses were small
in both futures market, except for
the nearby positions in New York,
where the losses were heavy. The im
provement at the close was due to
profit-making by bears. The close
was 5 to 20 points net lower at New
York and 4 to 5 points off at New
Orleans.
Spots in the former market ruled
20 points lower and in the latter 1-8
of a cent below the close for Wed
nesday. Liverpool spots were 3
I points lower with moderate sales of
I 7,000 bales. Futures were exchanged
to 2 points higher.
Receipts at the leading ports for
the day were as follows: Savannah
12,043; Galveston 9,293; New Orleans
9,145. Estimates for today were Hous
ton 3,800 to 4,800 against 13,463 last
year; New Orleans 6,000 to 8,000
against 8,806 last year; Galveston
6,500 to 8,500.
The Americus spot market is quoted
at a loss of 1-8 of a cent from the pre
vious close, good middling being quo
ted at 10 1-2 cents. Some sales were
made on the basis named, though the
demand was poor. Planters were not
selling as freely as heretofore and a
part of the incoming supply was
carried over for a better price. The
wagon receipts for the day were 395
bales.

A BUNCH OF A DOZEN
BROILED TO A FINISH
Covey of Black Birds Done
at Temple.
Still turning merrily in the tem
ple, the judicial hopper ground ex
ceedingly fine yesterday and the
black grist was abundant.
It was a busy day for Judge Crisp
and Solicitor Zack Childers.
A dozen cases were disposed of, and
the judicial spit pierced these twelve
blackbirds.
Lucius Hunter, larceny from the
house. Guilty and ten months straight
in the zebra camp.
Israel Speer showed up on the fir
ing line with a pistol, instead of a
spear, and his warlike equipment
cost him a dozen months.
Richmond Dowdle, Jr., charged
with larceny, was not guilty.
Elijah Mickleberry was likewise
roasted upon a larceny charge, but
the jury said he didn’t do it.
Reuben Cheney, a black Rube with
a poker deck "with five aces in it, was
soaked for SSO or a little respite of
eight months in the gang.
Henderson Burke was charged
with assault and battery, but his
lucky star shined and he went free.
Lewis Clayton swiped loot from a
villa, and upon this larceny charge
was swiped by Paschal for a year un
less he digs up a hundred.
George Shealy may have “skinned”
a little but the jury didn’t believe it
and he skinned for home.
Miller Bryant was not so lucky.
Miller was roasted on a gaming
charge and it cost him fifty plunks,
or 8 months turning spades.
Good luck favored Andy Coleman,
and he skinned out on a gaming
charge on the first shuffle.
Jim Davis was “incuzed” of chas
tizing the wife of his bosom, but the
twelve able thought otherwise and
Jim returned to his villa.
Ella Whitehead, who carries a
black head, was “encuzed” of selling
busthead. Ella got off luckily by
paying the court costs.
There are still a dozen others to
go upon the spit for today’s roasting.
