good middling, which was the quota
tion for the day before. Offerings
were very light at this price aqd
number of unfilled orders remained
when the day was done. The receipts
by wagon for the day were 27 bales.
Quotations are revised, good middling
being advanced 1-8 ot a cent over
Tuesday's figures.
The fury ot profit-taking was
somewhat spent when the cotton
market closed Wednesday, and as
result substantial recoveries were
made from the disastrous break
which followed the reading of the
Government estimate o nTuesday. The
recovery was made In evidence at
New Orleans than at New York, due
to the fact that the latter contract
market is more on a spot basis than
J i the former, where contracts are
arely intended to be made good in
actual cotton. Spot holders were
showing a firmness which made plain
their Indifference to the speculative
disturbance and this caused anxiety
among the shorts. At the close New
Orleans had recovered practically half
of the slump of Tuesday, while New
York had regained 25 per cent ot
Its sudden drop on the day before.
New York opened 4 to 13 points
higher than the close for the day be
fore, the near positions leading. Real
izing had not been completed by the
■ scalpers on the day before and this
Influence reduced the price level
some 20 points below the figures. In
the afternoon the market Improved,
though selling by longs was still
in sufficient volume to produce i
brief recession. The close was how
ever near the best, steady, 11 to 13
points net higher for the day. Spot
prices were marked up 10 points.
New Orleans opened 9 points lower
for December but unchanged to 2
points higher for other active posi
tions. After easing off 10 to 11 points
prices moved upward. The close
was at the highest and 17 to 20
points above the close for Tuesday.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool responded fully to the
disaster in tho American market on
Tuesday, in fact overplayed it as
usual. The opening was quiet and
steady 11 to 17 1-2 points lower, the
current position making tho greatest
loss. Tho close was
18 points below the
ay. Spot prices wer

WIDE COMMENT
ON COURT’S CHARGE
To Grand Jury on Gambling and
Tippling:
Recently Judge Littlejohn gave
a charge in which reference was made
to dispensing wines to minors and
also to playing cards at social gath
erings for prizes. He told the grand
'jury that each ot these acts was an
offense against the statutes.
Judge Littlejohn's opinion was
widely copied, though in many in
stances the words were so badly
twisted as to say things not con
templated by the court. One New

provoked by Inclination on the part
of some Amerlcus folks to get
“boozy.”
Commenting on the charge the Col-
umbuB Enquirer-Sun says:
"Tt ‘South 'Georgia judge, in hi?
charge to a grand jury, has declared
that ‘it is as great a crime to serve
punch, champagne or other Intoxi
cants to young ladies or minors at a
reception or card club as it Is to
furnish it from a saloon.”
“There is something peculiarly ex
hlldratlng in contemplating these
evidences of the progress ot reform.
Over all the statf the light-white
banner of reform is waving. Human
nature has been transformed and
men have been made good through
legislation. What might be termed
public gambling places have been
closed, crap-shooting, even, is a lost
ayt, the blind-tiger has disappeared
in the tall timber and the only block
dens are the saloons in the reception
rooms and parlors of the homes of
some of the state's best people who,
strange to say, as a rule help to up
hold civic, religious and educational
institutions and are really good citi
zens.
“Having suppressed minor trans
gressions of the law, the courts re
ferred to arc blazing the way In
blottiffg out the greater evils that are
making the state a wilderness of
