MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 23.—(Special.)—The week
closes with a more hopeful feeling in cot
ton. Liverpool serins at last to be paying
heed to the light movement, and again ad
vanced today.
Our market opened about 8 points higher,
then weakened and lost half the gain, but
afterawrds rallied sharply, closing at the
highest price of the week. January opened
at 8.33, declined to 8.29 and closed at 8.37®
8.38, with the tone llrm.
The bears contend that the crop shortage
has been fully discounted by present prices,
and that the disturbed condition of affairs
in the east forbid 4he expectation of a high
er market. Among the local traders there
is a strong disposition to accept profits on
every advance, and the short interest hav
ing been practically covered during the
week it may happen that the pressure of
selling orders will counteract what we re
gard as the natural tendency of prices to
improve. This may give us for some time a
fluctuating market, but unless the move
ment should show a decided increase, which
does not now seem likely, we are of the
opinion that the fear of a yield even smaller
than the average estimate of the bulls will
presently alarm spinners everywhere and
cause materia] advance. Such an advance.
If it should come, will be based upon a
sharper demand for consumption. The spec
ulative spirit which a few weeks ago gave
so strong a support to the market has been
revived, and an improvement in prices now
would probably l>e safer and more perma
nent than that which marked the middle of
October. On every depression in the market
we think well of buying cotton.
RIORDAN & CO.
Chicago ’Change.
Chicago, Nov. 23.—If there had been more
business wheat might have made a more
respectable gain today, as there was a dis
tinct firm tone to the market, but owing to
the moderate amount of trading only Indif
ferent results were achieved. A falling off
in northwest receipts, as compared both
with last Saturday and with the corre
sponding day a year ago, 755, 1079 and 927
curs respectively, was the leading Item of
encouragement for the bulls. The export
clearances for the week, 2,917,000 bushels, al
though not up to those of last week, nor of
a year ago, were, nevertheless, considerable
quite fair in volume. The acreage was said
to be trifle smaller than harvested this year
and 40 per cent of the last crop In the
states mentioned was reported as still In
farmers hands. December wheat opened
from 66H to 56c, advanced to 56%c, closing
at 56V4c bid, a shade higher than yesterday.
Cash wheat was steady and without essen
tial change In value.
Corn—Lighter receipts of corn than ex
pected were posted this morning, 376 cars,
against an estimate of 7416. Inspections
from store were good at 275.211 bushels, and
according to Bradstreet's exports for the
week presented a very favorable compan
ion with those of the corresponding week
last year, 1,437,000 bushels, against 189.000
bushels. These conditions helped the mar
ket, as did also the strength of wheat.
Trade was too restricted, however, to per
mit of any decided impression being made
on values and before the close, even the
fractional improvement which took place
early was lost on only moderate offering.
May corn opened at 29V6c, sold between 29V6
ft29*4 and 29®29»4c, closing at the latter, a
•hade under yesterday. Cash corn was quiet
•«nd steady.
Oats—Trading was confined to profession
als and carriers, and very little of that was
done. The range of prices showed only
l-16e, the operators for profitable trading
were, therefore, absent from the market.
May oats closed unchanged from yesterday.
Cash oats were unchanged.
Provisions—An advance in hogs and the
strength afforded traders a pretext for buy
ing, the effect of which was seen In slight
fains early in the session. Later in the day
hose who had bought turned sellers. Jan
uary pork closed a shade higher than yes
terday, January lard and ribs unchanged.
The domestic markets were quiet.

In Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 23.—The transactions at
the stock exchange for the two hours of
business today were less than 60,000 shares,
and except for the heaviest of certain In
dustrials. speculation was featureless. Only
two stocks on the list. Sugar and Tobacco,
figured for as much as 10,000 shares. The
sales of Tobacco were 10,500 shares at 83%
down to 82%<jg83l4. St- Louis houses were
again liberal sellers, and it was announced
that the anti-trust companies had reduced
the price of cigarettes in the western mar
ket. Sugar, which was the leader In point
of activity, 11,200 shares changing hands,
Sold down from 99% to 99%, on an uncon
firmed rumor that the New Jersey state au
thorities will begin action against the com
pany next week. Chicago Gas was weak at
t>2Vt(C3%. Leather preferred fell to 65fit,
the lowest point of tho week, and left off
at 66. The railway list and Western Union
were dull, but firm, the result of moderate
buying to even up short contracts. Western
Union recovered to 87%. and the feeling on
the stock was more confident now that the
Harlan decision is better understood. The
f rangers were In fair request and arbitrage
louses bought St. Paul on the belief that
me statement ror tne ween tor tne current
month, now due. will make an excellent
showing and Manhattan was quiet and
steady at 99V4Q100. In the Inactive stocks
Metropolitan Traction rallied from lOBVk to

ttflVb per cent higher for the railway issues.
The Industrials, however, lost per cent

Governor Oates speaks out without
equivocation or mental reservation and
says he is not a candidate and w'ill not
be one for the office of governor. He
says that he is a candidate for the United
States senate and will be in the race to
the finish. This Is a wise conclusion of
the governor. There is now but one can
didate for governor—Captain Johnston.
Let the democracy of Alabama tender
him this nomination by acclamation and
elect him by an overwhelming majority
at the August election. It will be a fit
ting reward to a loyal and faithful dem
ocrat and a man of ability ^nd business
sagacity, who can conduct the affairs of
Alabama in such a way that the people
of this great state will be proud and can
point to his administration with pride.—

day, and in the course of his remarks hq
reiterated the statement that he was not
and would not be a candidate for gov
ernor; that he was in the race for senator
and would stay in the race until the fin
ish. It is aim a settled fact now that
no one will be a candidate in opposition
to Captain Johnston. This Is as it should
be. We cannot afford to have a hot con
test In the party at this juncture. Cap
tain Johnston has already announced for
the place, and two-thirds of the demo
cratic voters of the state favor his nom
ination. We say let the will of the peo
ple be subserved under all circumstances.
