STEVENS’ COTTON LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon & James.
New York, Dec. 3.—At the start prices
declined 2 to 2 points. Liverpool wns
weaker and receipt* at the ports as well
S3 at Houston and Memphis were liberal.
Liter on prices rallied, however, p-irtly
owing to a rather steadier tone In Liver
pool, but largely by reason of heavy buy
ing for New Orleans account, which
frightened some of the local shorts. The
weather In Mississippi and Texas was
also reported lees favorable for the move
ment of the crop, besides the bulls argue
I that tho present price discounts a 10.019,.
. 009 crop. New Orleans declined ^points,
V> reya Inod this and advanced ^points.
I The New Ycrfl market in the subsequent
\ trading ran up 11 p:4nts and closed firm
with sale.* of 18*1.009 tales. Exports from
the portA, 35.7C0. Augusta received 2,614,
against 1.446; .St. Louts, 4.104, against l.f£2.
Charldrton declined % of a cent. Most
of the Southern spot markets were un
changed and quiet New Orleans sold
only 1,600 baler. The South was offering
cotton more freely. Spots here were dud
ond unchanged: middlin'; uplands, 6 13-26.
with sale* of 193 bales for spinning anj
deliveries on contract of 5,-00. Thus far
tMs week the rceapts are 22L5G, a^nlnst
121,011 boles thus far last week. We have
no great faith In the permanence of an
advance at this time right In the face
of large receipts at ports and Interiors.
The outside long interest is large and
wldelys cattered and this fact Is unques
tionably a feature Inimical to any ma
terial or permanent advance. Liverpool
fluctuated within narrow limits a,t one
time showing a declne of 1 point, which
was recovered and that market was
quiet and steady at practically the samo
prices as Saturday. Sales, 12,000 bales.
In Manchester yarns were weak and
cloehs quiet. The ports received today
75,601 bales, against 70,386 last week tJtd
66,146 last year. Memphis received S.S62.
against 6,775; Houston, 13,465, against 9,372.
Now Orleans expects tomorrow 22,003 to
25,000 bales, against 18.530. Until receipts
show A material falling off we do not look
for any cotlnuod improvement In prices.

LAMSON BROS. GRAIN LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon & James.
Chicago, Dec. 3.—Very little bear news
was currant this morning and wheat as
a consequence has ruled firm and higher,
though not as strong ns bull Influences
would warrant. The bears, however.put
forth strenuous efforts to break the mar
ket. On passage there was an Increase
of 1,226,000 bushels, while cables Indicate
the situation on the other side Is re
markably strong. Exports at the sea
board wero good. The visible Increase
of 1,215,000 bushels was rather more than
offset by the heavy decrease of 1,400,000
bushels in England’s visible supply, on
which the market experienced a sharp
advance to 61a% for May.
Corn has ruled dull but strong, though
the market has scored but little advance.
Local receipts of 160 cars were under ex
pectations and proved a buoyant feature,
though sympathy wit wheat has In a
measure elped corn, keeping it firm In
spite of the heavy increase of 1,026.000
bushels in the visible supply and an in
crease of 552,000 bushels on passage. A
strong feature is a gooddemand from
points nearest the drought-stricken dis
tricts.
Provisions ruled strong In spite of the
stock statement showing a heavy in-
crease. Packers have unbounded faith in
the prospects of hos product. The mar
ket on hogs at the yards has ruled fairly
active and strong on best grades and 5
cents higher on other*
Lxmson Bros. & Co.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Dec. 3.—The bulls supplied the
news and Pardridge the wheat today, the
former gaining the victory, which was,
however, not a very startling one. In the
matter of information the bears had two
very important pieces In their favor,
which for a time prevented prices from
assuming a very decided upward tenden
cy. These were the increase In the
amount on ocean passage of 1,328,000
bushels and in the visibly supply of 1,215.1
000 bushels. After the visibly supply had
been thoroughly digested the market be
gan to Improve and showed good strength
upon the end of the session. May Wheat
opened from 60% to 60%, sold between 60%
and 61%, closing at 61a6l%—%a% a cent
higher than Saturday. Cash wheat was
% a cent per bushel higher.
Corn.—Whilst -wheat was a trifle steadier
com was directly Che opposite at the
opening. May corn opened at 49%, sold
between 49%a49%a%. closing at 49%-%a%
of a cent higher than Saturday. Cash
corn was strong, prices ruling %a% a
cent higher. . , .
Oats.—The business In this grain lac*cod
attractiveness, tho tone being similar to
that of corn as a matter of sympathy.
Fluctuations were narrow and tho- trade
featureless. May oats closed % a cent
higher than Saturday. Cash oats were
firm without change in prlco.
Provisions.—The market for product
sagged from mere neglect at the etart,
the fact that hogs were firm and In some
Instances higher, affording no relief. Later
In the session, without reason or expla
nation, the Shorts suddenly began to, dis
play some anxiety, and thelrc overlng op
erations gave another phase to the tone
and caused a substantial rally. p*rtlcu-
laxly In pork. January pork closed 10
cents higher than Saturday, January lard
2% cents higher and January ribs 5 cents
higher.

105 Cotton avenue.
You never saw n* thing take so in
all your lift' us tho Telegraph’s “cheap
column" oautest has taken.
Everybody seems to be looking for
tho lost word. Many say they have
found thoao already given out. Maybe
they have; if they kcop It up and get
hero first Friday morning with the
correct answer, thoy will got the Tele
graph's money.
Tho Telegraph regrets that a few
people havo formed an Idea that some
one on the "Inside’’ will earn this
money. This Is entirely wrong, and
to prove it, notice Is now given that
no one In any way connected with this
paper, nor their relatives, even unto
tho fourth degree of consnngu.nity,
can contest for tho prize. This is done
simply to avoid any suspicion that
might arise in the minds of some peo-
pCe, and not to prevent a trick being
played by anyone connected ,wlth tho
office, for It is ns impossible for any
one ir. the office to know what tho
aenteuce la unless he reads the "cheap
columns” from dny to day, as it Is for
ml outsider to guess the sentence at
the beginning. ,
Only owe matr in the Telegraph office
knows what tlie sentence is, and no
oue else will know it until It Is
given in full In Saturday’s Issue.
But let It be understood that no one
connected wth the Telegraph mor their
relatives can contest for tlie prize. It
can only be one who watches the cheap
columns from day to day. and reads
every word printed -therein. It may
save you confusion If you remember
that only one word ia printed.each day
*hls weok. Tho sentence will contain
seven words.
Huvo your answer In early Friday
morning, but not before 7 o’etook. If
no correct answer is turned in by 10
o’clock Saturday night, then tho new
con-test, which will have begun, will
be doubled In the amount of money
offered; or, in other words, If no one
finds tlie sentoneo this week the
money -off-red will be added -to that
to be offered next week, and tho win
ners nexC week would recelvo *20 In
stead of 110.
Every one tfliould go to work to earn
tho Telegmph'fl mouey. Ilemumbu.' it
1* ?10 every wool; from now until
Christmas. Tlrs money will oomo In
nicely, and not much work :» involved
In earning U.
Listen to tho iflan: Boffnaln-g Rat-
nrclay morning and from then on for
eno week die Wlogropli will Insert
somowhoro among 1U “Cboup Column"
advertisements n lost word or word out
of place. By wo-tohing tho clionp col
umns each day for ono wa'-k and read
ing carefully every advertisement there
in, !t will be no difficult matter to find
the lost word. Seven of these words
will form a sentence. To Ulustwte:
Suppose on Saturday morn-ng the Tel
egraph prints In Its Cheap ooUt'iih an
advertisement llko the following;
XMAS TBIX—Tho time Is short;
prices tow; Judicious tho piaco Is
here.
And then on Sunday suppose you
see tho following;
WATCH the columns of the Telegraph
advertising for our special holiday
offering*.
And again on Monday you find IMs
one;
WE do not hide our light under a
bushel. Our /Morn Is always, there
fore, always crowded.
And on Tuesday you seo fids:
WE and that it pnys pays to toll the
pubtlo what wo’vo got.
On Wednesday you may see some
thing like this:
LOST—An opportunity lo Increase our
n trade by inviting the public to visit
our store.
' On Thursday It may take this form;
OUR holiday trade Is gnod, because
good we ndvertlaed our goods.
And then for tho last day, Friday,
say something tike this one:
JUDICIOUS advertising always pays
a dividend.
If you are a cartful reader you have
found that tlie word "Judicious” was
out of place In the Saturday ad; on
Sunday you found that important
word ’^advertising" out of place; on
Monday you found "alwaya”; on Tuci-
day "pay*"; on Wednesday "a.”; on
Thursday "good”; on Friday ‘ ! <uvi-
dtnd.”
The week has been completed and
you have found one word each day,
which when put together form the
sentence "Judicious advertising always
pays a good dividend," which 1* a
maxim true as gospel.
If you have been quick, you hava
rushed your agswer to the Telegraph
uffice at the earliest hour poeilmc Fri*
day morning. If it was the first cor
rect answer received, you will read In
BAturday’a paper the pleasant an
nouncement that you have received *5;
If the aecond correct answer, that you
havo received $3; and If third, *2.
Of course, tbs sentence which begins
Katunday will not be the same ng tus
s'vsat, and probably nothing like It;
*0 don’t attempt to gucu until you
havo read carefully oach of the seven
dpers beginning Saturday and con
cluding with Friday morning’s Issue.
If you are not the first In this eon-
Ost, don’t be dUcouragcd, for tho Tele
graph Intends to lioep It up. • Maybe
IndcllnlteCy, but certainly for four
werka—until *10 baa been distributed
In this way among -the Telcgitiph’s
most careful readers.
Now, got ready; tho contest will be
gin Saturday morning. Then waitclt the
"cheap columns" every day for one
week; and you may find yourself sev
eral dollars better oft than you
thought.
No answers will bo received before
7 o dock Friday morning. Announce
ments of winners made in Saturdny’i
uper. Simply write your aswer on a
postal Card, or enclose in envelope nd-
t» "Advertising Department
T«.egrt>i>h. Bring to the business of-
.("whila 2!“, r 7 The Hour
at which It Is received will be
on the back of the card or envelope
and a-t 8 o'clock Friday night Dee 7
the answers will bo examined. ’ '
Why does the Telegraph do this?
Tho answer la easy—simply to have
the "cheap columns" of this papo
well read. Or. In other words, to en
able Its advertisers to get tho beat ro-
ul-tg from their advertisements
That the plan la a good one eve’rv ad-
ertiser will recognize, and the Tele
graph wlK be reiMld for tls effort tn
their behalf. Aa cm be aeon. It will be
necessary for every contestant to read
carefully word for word and lino for
lino In every advertisement; In the
"cheap columns" in order to feel cer
tain that they have gueaaed the right
word*. It will bo ncensaary to read
every one of these advertisements ev
ery day in tho .week In order to form
the complete sentence.
Thus every-advertisement placed in,
tho Telegraph'11 "choap ooiumns" will
bo read by Intelligent people. rc«J
carefully to seo If it contains the los;
word, and In reading tho reader"!
Bind will become Impressed with
wlm-tever la ottered therein. The re
sults of tills sort of advertising will bo
prompLaud direct It win at once cause
he Telegraph’s ••ohcap" advertise-
menits to be among tho most valuabls
In the paper.
It will bo welt for merchants who
wish to got the benefit of this scheme
at tho beginning to get their adver
tisements ready early Friday evening.
They will bo Inserted at the usual rate,
with tho positive assurance, ns demon
strated above, that they will ho better
read, more closely scrutinized nnd
more effective in every way than ever
before. Tlicro Is money In It, not only
for tho contestant, but for every mer
chant who place* hlB ads tn tho Tele
graph's cheap columns.
