was a heavy seller at the opening, March's low-
est was 9.39c, closing at 9.43c. Some parties who
were out of the market preferred to remain out
until the fate of the option bill was known Tues-
day.

Houston, E. L. Sargent of Dallas and S. Mayer,
Texas, are here.
Atwood Vlolett & Co.'i Circular.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 26.—[Special.]—At-
wood Violett A Co. say: In futures a peculiar
feature about the Liverpool market to-day is that
eveiy month to August-Septembor is lower than
spots, and this position makes the short interest
dangerous, and if manipulated by the bulls prices
would advance rapidly. The decline in Liverpool
is 4-64d, while spots are unchanged. Our cables
this morning stated the decline thore was due to
tho indefinite postponement of the strike, but
this afternoon our cable gives later news more
favorable. The bearish feoling was more pro-
nounced to-day apparently everywhere than per-
haps for several weeks, and tho short interest, al-
ready large, was added to by further sales. We
do not say that the market will advance, although
wo seo every reason why it should; but wo do
predict that when it does it will bo with a rush.
We intend to make constant appeals to the in-
terior to take active steps in promoting organ-
izations to reduce acreage, anyhow not to in-
crease. Give the spinnors practical evidence of
an honest intention, which by county organiza-
tions throughout the south can bo accomplished,
that the planter is in earnest on this subject—
and there must bo no delay in bringing this in-
formation to their attention—and wo say tho
spring and summer, as well as tho months of next
year, will be lifted to prices to satisfy any con-
servative bull, provided our national legislators
do not prohibit future doaling. Mr. Ellison, in
the last Liverpool post received, says the Janu-
ary movement indicates a crop under 6,000,000, but
the boar and spinner practically say it is more
than offset even with such a crop by tho threat
of anti-option legislation, incroasod acreage
and labor troubles, It must bo evident to
everyone that, with a crop this year
of 8,500,000, prices would likely have been far
lower than the lowest of last year. Now lot tho
interior merchant advanco this year wit h the ex-
pectation of 9,000,000 bales next season and let us
see how successful he will be noxt fall in making
collections.
Port receipt® to-day, 10,600 bales, against 15,300
last year, Estimate for to-morrow hore, 3000
bales, against 12,000 last year and 29,000 at all
ports last year and 13,000 in 1885. We shall have
in sight on February 1 about 5,300,000 bales, there-
fore 950,000 more must come into sight by noxt
September to make 0,250,000 bales. Is there sulli-
cient invisible stock to come forward to make
good the difference?
Spots closed steady. Sales 6450 bales. Quota-
tions down l-16c.
MoKlroy A Gibert'a Circular.
New Orleans, La.. Jan. 26.—[Special.]—Mc-
Elroy & Gibert say: The hope that the confer-
ence between the mill owners and operatives to-
day would bring about a settlement of the Lan-
cashire strike was grievously disappointed, as the
meeting broke up without result, and tho first
cables received during tho morning stated that
the masters were more determined than ever to
resist the demaud of thoir employos. The offect
upon all markots was quite pronouncod. Deliveries
in Livorpool declined 5-64d, but later there was
some recovery, and the closing is at a loss of 3-64d
to 4-64d on the day. Spot salos were about the
average of the past few weeks, tho total being
7000 balos at unchanged priceB. Our market de-
clined 10 points during the morning but afternoon
cables from Livorpool indicated that after the
closing of the market some offort must havo boon
made to bring the conflicting parties together,
with the result that tho prospect for a definite
settlement of existing ditlicultios Booms much
brighter, and it is confidently predicted that the
strike will come to an end within a few days. The
effect of this oncouragingnows was quite a suurt,
and at the closing wo find our market 5 points bo-
low yesterday, a recovery of 5 points from tho
lowest touched. New York closed 8 to 9 points
lower than last night.
Tho larger salos of snots in this market had also
something to do with the improved tone during
tho afternoon, ono lot of 5000 balos changing
bauds, and the total sold by factors was 6450
bales at l-16o decline. Sales to arrive woro 120>.
The port movomont continuos extremely small,
to-days receipts being 10,000 bales, against 15,000
last year. New Orleans expects to-morrow 3300
bales, wbich would indicnto a probable total
movement of Je«s than 10,000 balos at all ports,
against 28,000 bales last rear. The weekly move-
ment will probably bo in the neighborhood of
100,000 to 105,000 bales. against 115,000 last year.
If the news of this afternoon in reference to the
settlement of tho strike is correct it is quite like-
ly, taken in conjunction with tho extromoly small
movement, that a further advanco will ensue, hut
unless the settlement is followed by an active
spot demand from spiunor9 wo can not fosl con-
fident of the maiutenanco of any improvement.
I. E. Glenny A Co.'a Circular.
New Orleans, La., Jan. 26.—[Special.]-!. E.
Glenny A Co. say: Livorpool opened unohanged,
declined 5-64d, Improved slightly and closed 3-64d
to 4-64d lower than yesterday. Cables reported
that the decline was caused by a meeting of
masters and oporators, which was called to try
and affect a settlement of the strike, separating
without coming to any conclusion. Cables re-
ceived by us late in the day said later hows was
more favorable.
Our market opened at a deoline of 8 points and
further decline being arrosted by limits boing
practicable on some large buying orders. After
tho call, when these orders had been completed,
a furthor decline of 3 points was established,
March Belling as low as 9.22c. It continued very
dull and easy at 1 to 2 points below tho opening
iiguros until late in tho day, when some
cables being received saying that tho
outlook for the settlement of tho strike
was slightly more favorable created a better
demand and prices gradually advanced until
March sold at 9.29c and May at 9.41o. Just at tho
close the market being freoly supplied prices wore
slightly oasier, and tho last prices paid marked a
decline of 5 points since yestorday. March closing
at 9.27c to 9.28c, and May at 9.3Uc to 9,40c. There
seemed to bo a general impression yestorday that
at the meeting to be hold to-day some steps would
ho tukon toward a settlement of tho strike, and
its indefinite postponement of tho meeting with-
out any action being taken proved a great disap-
pointment, and while evening cables seemed to
indicato a more favorable outlook stated nothing
positive.
Hubbard, Price A Co.'a Circular.
New York, Jan. 26.-[Special.]—Hubbard, Price
A Co. say s Masters and spinners failod to agree
at the mooting held at Manchester to-day and ad-
journed indefinitely. As a result of this dis-
agreement the Manchester market for yarns Is
reportod as strong, though tho demand for goods
does not improve. Naturally the failure of the
conferenco caused a decline in Liverpool to
lower quotations than those reported in the ro-
eent decline, and a general feoling of disoourago-
ment is said to have taken possession of the
holdors of cotton, who are unaole to dispose of
their stocks to spinners.
At the oponing of our market, tho execution of
selling orders from Liverpool of tho cotton
bought here yesterday aud Tuesday ou the hope
of a settlement of the lockout causod a decliue of
10 or 11 points. A portion of tho loss was recov-
ered aB a result of buying.
Receipts at the interior towns aro nearly as
heavy as a year ago, and oonsideruUi> larger
than last week, but in spite of this the market
closed steady at 4 points above the morning quo-
tations.
Tho Post's Review.
New York, Jan. 26.— [Special. 1 — The Post
says: To-day tho industrials were used as tho
first stocks likely to be influenced by tho attacks
of tho bears, who believo in a coming decline and
who aro looking forwoak soots. Naturally the
general list included a little sympathy, but a good
undortono was obsorvod which permitted general
declines of but a small fraction, with after recov-
eries,
Thero appeared no signs yet that the confidence
in tho settlement of our currency problems in
this or in tho succeeding administration, which
led to the activity of tho past week, has boon
much shaken.
New York Dry Goods Market.
New York, Jan. 26.—[Special.]—Thero was not
much chaugo in tho dry goods market. Some of
tho spring specialties woro increasing in dupli-
cate demand. Staple cottons wore in demand for
filling in wants, with good inouiry as to future
business. Thore was nothing or nt-ag interost as
regards prices, which geuorally continue firm.

MANY NAMES AND WiV£S.
Did a Trade in Oranges-Selling Cheap
for Cash in Advance.
Cincinnati, 0„ Jan. 25.—[Special.]—J. H.
Caldwell, with several aliases, tho most cun-
ning prisoner tho government has had for
some time, was in the United States court
hero charged with misusing the mails. His
mode of procedure was to liavo letter heads
printed with his name as president of a com-
pany with a large capital. He would write
letters ropresonting that ho had a wholesale
fruit establishment in Florida, buying his
goods direct from planters, and would ofi'or
commission merchants'in the north oranges
of different grades, quoting to thom prices
at 25 to 50 cents por box less than the regular
markot price. His letters all atuted that ho
sold only for cash, and ail orders must be ac-
companied by at least one-half of the amount
of their order.
].Ie would write all these lettors at some part
of tho north, his main headquarters seeming
to be Portsmouth and Hyattsville, O. The
postmasters at Archer and Plant City, Fla.,
and other points where he oxpected his letter
orders were requosted to forward his mail to
him, as ho was on a traveling trip. In this
way he did a marvelous business for a time.
Sinco his incarceration tho government has
learned that he has a wife and seven children
at Carroliton, Ky.; another at Owensboro,
Ky., whose maiden uaino was Natalie Evers;
anothor who claim* to be his wife is a former
widow at Now Albany, who, before she met
Caldwell, was Mrs. Jasper. She lived with him
but two weeks. In that time ho borrowed $1700
from hor to start a shoe store at Shelbyvillo,
Ind.
Here ho met a Grace Green, whom he pre-
teudod to marry, and took her with him to
Dalton, Ga., where he desertod hor.
When next heard from he Had loft "widows"
at Cadiz, (),, Maysville, Ky., Columbus, O.,
and Ripley.
Ho courted and proposod also to a Mrs. Poor
of Cincinnati, whom ho met at some river
towu in Illinois. She was a rich widow and
ho succeedod in fleecing her out of several
hundred dollars.
Ho struck New'Albany, Ind., where ho mar-
ried a young school teacher, by whom he had
two children.
He was noxt heard from at Hyattsville, O.,
where ho had a dashing brunetto whom he
fiassed us his wifo. This is ns far as his po-
ygamus record is known. Many chiefs of po-
lice throughout America havo sent for his
photograph and description.
It is likoly Caldwell will be taken to
Leavenworth, Ind., where indictmonts are
pending against him for embezzlement.
Four of his wives and soveral children aro
there waiting his coming.
A PE0ULIAB 110BBERY
Or Else the Traveler Made a Mistake—A
Detective's Inquiries.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 24.—[Special.]—A
peculiar robbery is being investigated by De-
tective Viehle and pending the outcome of it
Charles W. Ethridge, a night clerk at tho
Capital hotel at Ninth and Chestnut streets,
is held a prisoner in the four courts. He was
arrested at 2 o'clock yestorday afternoon by
Detective Viehle ou tho complaint of Ratcliffe
Holingsworth, alias Clarence Clifford. Ho
claimed that last Monday night, whilo ho was
a guest at the hotel, ho gave Ethridge a pocket
book containing $520 and a note for $4.'17 50 to
bo placed in tho strqng box for safe keeping
until this morning. Ethridge failed to givo
him a receipt. Yesterday morning when ho
entered tho office of the hotel he found Henry
Holding, tho day clork, in charge. He asked
for the money and was told that no property
of his was in the safe. Holingsworth then re-
paired to the four courts und roported tho af
fair.
Ethridge was found in his bod in the hotel
by detective Viohle and placed under arrest.
He emphatically denied ever having been
givon any money by Holingsworth, and stated
that it is the custom of tho hotel to givo re-
ceipts for all valuables left in the safe by the
guests. He boars a good reputation. His
room was searched, but the money could not
be found.
Detective Viehle, suspecting that thero was
something wrong about Hollingsworth, began
inquiring about him. Ho learned that he had
registered under a different name when he
first came to the Capitol hotel.
In explaining how ho came to travel under
an alius Holingsworth stated that his home
was in Shrevoport, La. On December 25 last
he secretly married Miss Langdon in Dallas,
Tex. The marriage was under tho cover of
secresy becauso her parents woro opposod to
the union, nnd it has been kept a secret ever
since. To prevont discovery he and his wife
travel under an assumed name.
Still mistrusting the man, Detective Viehle
stole a march on him and wont to his room.
There ho found a woman who claimed to bo
his wifo, an old man, who the woman said was
her father and a girl five years of age, who the
woman claimed was hor sister.
Holingsworth arrived in the city about a
woek ago and registered at tho Southern hotel
under tho name of Clarence Clifford. He
stayed there one day. Tho following day he
wont to the Kossmoro hotel at Eighth and
Chestnut streets. His wifofc, the old man and
the child arrived in tho city Monday and Hol-
ingsworth took them to the Capitol hotel.

A SAD CJASE,
A Highly Respectable Young Lady Dies
in a Hovel at Montgomery.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 24.—In a cold and
cheerless hut in the suburbs, occupied by a
colored woman, the police of this city, while
on their rounds yosterday, heard tho piteous
groans of a woman, und going In found ou a
solitary mattress, with a few torn and tattored
quilts to cover her frail and delicate form, a
boautiful young woman, pale and haggard, in
the throes of death. Her caso was at once
reported to Chief of Police Gerald, who, with
a physician, Dr. C. K. Duncan, wont to the
cabin, corner of Boll and Whitman streets,
and did all they could to relievo the young
woman, but it was too late. Soon after be-
coming a mother she died, evidently from tho
want of attention, exposure and exhaustion.
The young woman came to the city about
four months ago and secured board at a re-
spectable boarding house and soon got em-
ployment with a dressmakor, with whom she
worked until a few days ago. Neither at her
boarding house nor at tho dressmaking estab-
lishment did any one suspect her condition,
and she conducted herself in a lndylike man-
ner at all times and had many friends among
her associates.
Chief Gerald took a gold ring off her finger,
in which he found the initials "E. S. P.," and
in her trunk, which is a new one, showing it
was recently purchased, he found letters ad-
dressed to Miss Lida Pumphrey, postmarked
Flemingsburg, Fleming county. Ky. This
gave Chief Gerald a clue to her identity, and
he telegraphed and got the following reply:
FlemingsbuRO, Ky., Jan. 24.—Send Lida Pum-
phrey's remains hero by express. Answer and
give particulars. Seud bill for all expenses.
J. D. Pumphrey.
Chief Gorald also received the following:
Flemixgsdurg, Ky., Jan. 24.—This bank guar-
antees all expenses for removal of Miss Pum-
phrey's remains. John Hjmtjn,
Cashier Flowing County Farmers' Bank.
Chief Gerald thinks that the "E." was for
Eliza, and Lida was tho abbreviation by which
she was called by her family. Tho letters in
her trunk indicated that' the fanniy did not
know for what reason she came to Alabama,
as they asked why she left homo and how she
got money to do so.
Chief Gerald ascertained that she belonged
to a most excellent family, and that hor
brother, J. D. Pumphrey, is a prominent and
highly respocted lawyer of Flemingsburg.
Bishop Brooks Intestate.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 25.—Bishop Brooks
died without making a will. His es-
tate is valued at $750,000. A successor to
tho bishopric will be appointed at the
Massachusetts diocesan convention, May 3.
Tho impression prevails generally that tho
bishopric will fall to a Boston divine.
Tho utmost care is used in preparing Hood's
Sarsaparilla. It is pure, honest and reliable.
