NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans. —First prices In the cot
ton market were at a loss of two to five
points on poor cables. The tone was
steady. were inclined to sel
out on the unfavorable snowing made by
the Liverpool spot market where only
S.O'OO bales were sold against sales yes
terday of 15,000. Another feature that
stimulated selling around the call w r as
the Vumor that private bureaus were
putting the amount of cotton ginned this
last period up around 200,000 bales.
Selling pressure did not last long and
first prices were the low r est In the early
trading. A fresh demand for long ac
count sprung up and half an hour after
the opening prices were three to four
points oveV yesterday’s close.
'Throughout the morning many' tele
gVams came in from important spot
points in the South telling of a large
demand at a rising basis. This served
to keep the tone steady but no groat
buying power was stimulated. Against
the improvement in spot accounts was
the private bureau of 212,00 bales of
cotton ginned between January 1 and
January 16. This was considered very
hfdfcS and led to moderately heavy .sell
in#
Another favorable influence of the
morning was the rumor that Huerta was
about to resign and place Mexico in
the hands of a commission. This check
ed the downward movement caused by
ginning reports. At noon prices were
three points under yesterday’s last quo f
tations.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills. —-Wheat failed to hold an
advance from a less favcfrable crop out
look In western Europe. Prospects for
the wdnter crop In tho United States
acted as more than an offset. Opened
1-8 to 1-4 higher and there was a slight
further gain, then receded below last
night’s level.
Mild weather had a bearish effect on
corn, more than neutralizing an early
upturn due to sympathy with temporary
wheat strength. Reports of lack of de
mand for cash corn at Kansas City
counted against the bulls. Started a
shade to l-Bal-4 higher and after hard
ening a trifle underwent a decided sag.
Oats merely reflected the changing
sentiment regarding other grain.
Provisions suffered from absence of
support. Selling pressure was only mod
erate. After opening unchanged to 2
1-2 lower the market gradually de
clined.
Lightness of primary wheat receipts
tended to check the bears. Closed
steady same as last night to a decline
of a shade. Firmness of corn cables
helped to rally corn, but not in a lasting
manner. Closed steady 3-8 to 5-8 net

MARKET GOSSIP
TO DOREMUS & COMPANY
York.—More than average pro
gress has been made in winter prepara
tion of land and the presumption favors
a large planting In the spVing. It is o
be noted, however, that in western
Texas and Oklahoma abundant fall rains
encouraged ..planting for a large yield.

New York. —Selling on and after the
call was rather general, Sehiil and Kice
principal sellers, Rice selling was
thought to be for some of tlio spot in

of the Wall street operators looked to
be best buyers. General sentiment is
favorable to a further upturn.—An

COBB BROS. & CO.
TO FRANKSBARRETT
• •New York.—Liverpool is a shade too
good this morning, but sales are only
S.OOO bales. When our mavket found
its bottom just before the Xmas holi
days our foreign cousins were the best
buyers at the 12-cent level, since that
date they have been the best takers of
the spot article, and every day finds the
spot markets stronger than contracts, a
condition which cannot continue to ex
ist. On this side of the market shorts
covered! their obligations before the holi
days and iYeely predicted further de
presson in prices to follow, but since
those predictions were made over 1 l-l
million bales have been brought into
sight and taken by the mills, and the
remnant left unmarketed is held too
well to expect spot pressure to hurt
values. The only fear ahead of us is
that the new crop acreage or prepara
tions might serve a beaVish purpose. Of
its own inherent merit, cotton is cheap.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—First prices of stocks to
day held close to yesterday’s final range.
Tlie volume of business was unusually
small. The only important stock which
fluctuated more than a small fraction
was Canadian Pacfic. The stock open
ed off 1 6-8.
Quotations swung back and fovth over
a narrow range during the morning. Tho
undertone was good. Little business
was transacted, pending delivery of the
President's message. Sentiment was
cheerful owing to low money rates and
indications of better business.
increased after the publica
tion of the President s message and
prices were higher. Southern Pacific
reached 9-1 1-2, Steel and Heading made
|up their losses.
Efforts to put prices down were re
newed with some degree of success, tile
average level falling to the lowest of
the day. Lack of support for Reading
encouraged bear activity in other
quarters.
Closed strong. Stocks were put up
by force of covering operations in the
final hour, an oversold condition ap
parently being established in some ol
the leaders. Canadian Pacific recover
ed nearly all of its decline and Western
Vnion improved 2 1-2 on President
Vail’s optimistic statement as to the
prospects of the company.

Terminated In Murder.
The alleged conspiracy, terminat

Higgins and of his stepdaughter and
their confessions disclosing their in
fatuation form almost the only
topic of conversation In this neigh

The attitude of the girl toward her

Higgins and on bad terms with her,
was offered pay to kill Mrs. Higgins.
Letter From Girl.
This was in a letter written by
the girl last November from North
Henderson, home of the Higginses.
In October, knowing of the differ
ences between Krnst and his sister,
Julia, It is alleged, wrote to Ernst's
daughter, Marie saying: "I wonder
If your father Is still of the same
notion of killing mother. If he Is I
wish he would hurry and do It as I
am getting awful tired.”
Gave Up the Letters. ...
Ernst asked Julia If she was crazy.
After the supposed accidental killing
of Mrs. Higgins he gave the letters
to the county authorities. Higgins
slept soundly last night and awoke
with an appetite for breakfast. He is

is under surveillance there at tho

to Join them, the three rushed for
ward. Oates, the assistant warden,
stood In their path. Heed shot him
through the heart. Near the door of
the warden’s office sat Judge Thomas,
who was waiting to see Warden Dick
on business.
Bhot Judge Dead.
"Boys, I am an Innocent* bystander;
Just here on private bi)klness," the
Judge called as he sprang to his feet
and put up his hands.
The convicts shot him dead. An
other shot wounded Wood, a guard.
Miss Foster, the telephone operator,
then cnma In for attention. With an
oath they overturned the switchboard,
hoping to disconnect the wires.
liy this time tremendous excitement
prevailed. Convicts were shouting
cheering words to the escaping men
and guards w> re shooting as they
ran about to quell the outbreak. Half
crying us the rlfb s of tha guards
cracked from various quarters, the
three convicts dashed toward the gate,
dragging Miss Foster with them and
using her as a shield.
Killed by Wild Bullft.
Godfrey, one of the guards attempt
ed to halt them. Promptly he was
shot to death. A bullet that went wild
passed through the office door of
cat Urns. The first thing of lmporta.nce
is organization. Second In lmportanco
Is the necessary capital for building
purposes. The Merchants and Manu
facturers Association Is solid, safe and
alive to the city's opportunities and
will, with tho citizens' help, secure the
capital to build an up-to-the-min
ute-commercial organization. Then
will come 'he plans for the future
which must he well thought out; and
further, the architect must be alive
to his work and of the best.
Building a Program of Work.
‘‘Every member of the reorganized
association will have a voice In se
lecting the work that, will bo attempt
ed In tho organization’s future. Each
member will be required to give an
swers to a Rot of balanced questions;
and a special committee composed of
one member from each line of busi
ness will digest these suggestions Into
a comprehensive report, snd this re
port, or program of work as laid down
by the members of tho body, will be
voted upon by tho entire membership,
lteferendums upon various questions
will bo taken from time to time, thus
keeping the entire membership In
touch with the work of tho organiza
tion.
‘‘The next step will he the appoint
ment of committees to carry out tho
work outlined and specified by the,
membership. Their selection will bo
easy, because (he members have al
ready .signified the subject In which
they' were most Interested. Further
more, a system of committee control
will he Installed which will divide tho
work enough to make It representa
tive of the entire body and still not
overwork any one man or set of men;
and furthermore, tills representative
and democratic division of labor In
sures success.”
Drover, tho Bertllllon expert, and kill
ed him. Out of the building, Reed,
Kroontz and Lane made their way on
a trot to the gato. None of the guards
dared to shoot. They were afraid they
would lilt the telephone girl.
However, a shot finally rame from
somewhere and it hit Miss Foster In
the leg. Reaching the gato the three
men dropped their burden after un
locking the last barrier to freedom and
sprang into a buggy. Lashing the
horse the convicts sped down the road.
Running Fight.
The dash for liberty was short, how
ever. Guards nti horses quickly camo
within shooting distance and a run
ning fight began., The convicts made
a desperate fight as tho buggy lurch
ed nlong but It wns soon over. Rullet
after bullet from the' guns of tho
guard found Its mark and when tho
horse at last fell and the guards camo
up the three convicts lay dead In tho
buggy. Within the prison the guards
worked heroically, driving the convicts
to tlicir cells, and order wan soon re
stored.
