PROTECTS AGAINST Undiscovered Wills. Mrs. V. purchased, in 1881, a valuable corner near Central Park. The ubetraet set out how B. had died seised of the property in 1835, unmarried and intes- tate, and how his brothers and sisters partitioned the property. In 1885 Mrs. V. contracted to buy an adjoining lot, and her attorney, by chance, discovered that B. did not die unmarried and intestate, as supposed, but had married shortly before his death, in the western part of the State. At his death he left a widow and oue child, aud a will, by whieh all his property went to them. They did not know he owned the property near Central Park. After much inquiry the heirs were found by the attorney for the proposed seller, and quit-claim deeds were obtained from them at great expense. Title Guarantee and Trust Co.

The interior movement is showing up much lighter than expected, and Little Rock will probably receive not over 400 bales this week, as compared with less than 1,500 last year. Tkere Is nothing bright in the print cloth market at Fall River. Southern spot markets are said to be quiet, with holders soliciting bids for spot cotton. The bears advance the claim that there is enough cotton in the smaller towns to keep receipts up to a point large enough to worry the bulls. New Orleans bought a little cotton. But some selling or- ders were received from England. Interior stocks will probably lose 30.000 bales this week. The re- ceipts at Houston to-day are estimated at 4.000 to 4,500 bales, against 3,559 same day last week and 2,670 last vesr, and receipts at New Orleans to-day are estimated at 5.500 to 6.500 bales, against 2,548 and 5.558 hales.

Jan. 7, 1897.—Whest to-dsy regained some of the ground lost yesterday. For an hour Im- mediately subsequent to the opening there w s s a feeling of hesitation prevalent, but eventually firm- ness obtained control, and prices recovered about a cent. A feature of the trade was the buying by St. Ix>uis and the relative strength of the msrket at that place. Yesterday the balk of the selling was for that city, but, as if regretting such action, the buying orders to-day were from there. Liverpool did not re- spond to our break with much enthusiasm, a net loss of but Id. being reported by the cable. The main in- fluence for strength, however, was the reported en- gagement at Boston of freight room for 1,500.000 bushels. "sWiorts" covered freely to-day, and there was not a little investment by people whose faith in the ultimate outcome was unshaken by the setback received during the earlier days of the week. Re- ceipts in the Northwest were light, at 209 cars, against 261 last Thursday and 538 on the correspond- ing day a year ago. Chicago received 10 cars and Inspected out 02,~206 bushels. The Price Current summary of growing crop conditions was bearish. Closing Continental cables were irregular. Export clearauces were fair, at 303,351 bushels. May wheat closed at 82V_c..

LONDON'S PRICES HISHEB.

Securities Were Strong at the Close, Upon the Three Days Senate

Adjournment.

INDUSTRIAL!* WKRK WEAKER.

Stocks ruled generally strong yesterday, despite some declines tn speculative Indus­tries and coal properties. The opening, in sympathy with Ix>ndon. was higher, and the market recorded advances until about mid­day, when it halted on the Introduction of another Jingo resolution on Cuba in the Sen­ate. The check was of but short duration, and was practically void of effect on the standard shares, which closed at about the best prices upon the report of the Senate's adjournment until Monday. Sterling ex­change was firm and higher.

PROTECTS AGAINST Undiscovered Wills .

Mrs. V. purchased, in 1881, a valuable corner near Central Park. The ubetraet set out how B. had died seised of the property in 1835, unmarried and intes­tate , and how his brothers and sisters partit ioned the property.

In 1885 Mrs. V. contracted to buy an adjoining lot, and her attorney, by chance, discovered that B. did not die unmarried and intes tate , as supposed, but had married shortly before his death, in the western part of the State . At his death he left a widow and oue child, aud a wil l , by whieh al l his property went to them. They did not know he owned the property near Central Park.

After much inquiry the heirs were found by the attorney for the proposed seller, and quit-claim deeds were obtained from them at great expense.

Cotton W a s Irregular, Closing F i r m -Wheat Made a N e t Gain of 3 -4 Cent.

COTTON' opened 2 to 4 points lower on disappoint­ing Liverpool cables, and fluctuated within narrow l imi t s during the forenoon, but on a renewal of local buying and lighter receipts there was a rally in the afternoon, and prices closed at the ljest, or at 3 to 7 jsdnts net gain. Total sa les 92.200 bales. S_iot cotton 1-lttc. higher, a t 7 3-16c. for middling up­lands. Kales, 10 bales export and 31 spinning. It now looks a s If the receipts for the week would not exceed 160.000 to 165.0'X) bales, as compared wi th 222.780 last week and 140,659 last year. The interior movement is showing up much l ighter than expected, and Litt le Rock wi l l probably receive not over 400 bales this week, as compared wi th less than 1,500 last year. Tkere Is nothing bright in the print cloth market at Fa l l River. Southern spot markets are said to be quiet, wi th holders sol ic i t ing bids for spot cotton. The bears advance the c la im that there i s enough cotton in the smaller towns to keep receipts up to a point large enough to worry the bulls. New Orleans bought a l i t t le cotton. But some sel l ing or­ders were received from England. Interior s tocks wi l l probably lose 30.000 bales th i s week. The re­ceipts at Houston to-day are es t imated a t 4.000 to 4,500 bales, against 3,559 same day last week and 2,670 la s t vesr, and receipts at New Orleans to-day are es t imated at 5.500 to 6.500 bales , against 2,548 and 5.558 hales .

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS. [BT TELEGRAPH TO THB HERALD.]

C H I C A G O . Jan. 7, 1897.—Whest to -dsy regained some of the ground lost yesterday. For an hour Im­mediate ly subsequent to the opening there w s s a feel ing of hes i tat ion prevalent, but eventual ly firm­ness obtained control, and prices recovered about a cent . A feature of the trade w a s the buying by St . Ix>uis and the re lat ive strength of the msrket a t that place. Yesterday the balk of the se l l ing w a s for that c i ty , but, as if regrett ing such act ion, the buying orders to-day were from there. Liverpool did not re­spond to our break wi th much enthusiasm, a net loss of but Id. being reported by the cable. The main in­fluence for strength, however, w a s the reported en­gagement a t Boston of freight room for 1,500.000 bushels. "sWiorts" covered freely to-day, and there was not a l i t t l e investment by people whose faith in the u l t imate outcome was unshaken by the setback received during the earlier days of the week. Re­ceipts in the Northwest were l ight, a t 209 cars, against 261 last Thursday and 538 on the correspond­ing day a year ago. Chicago received 10 cars and Inspected out 02,~206 bushels. The Price Current summary of growing crop conditions w a s bearish. Closing Continental cables were irregular. Export c learauces were fair, at 303,351 bushels. May wheat closed at 82V_c.. Ic . higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was ilrm and lc . per bushel higher. Receipts at principal Western points, 249,468 bushels: ship­ments , 133,400: receipts at Eastern points, 14,768; shipments. 165.671.

Corn was dull and closed a trifle l ietter. Receipts were l ight, at 80 cars, and 132,002 bushels were withdrawn from store. Liverpool cables were \k&. lower. Exports were heavy, a t 685,165 bushels. Cash corn was unchanged. Receipts at principal Western points, 273,232 bushels; shlpmeuts , 185,671. Receipts a t Eastern points , 320.815.

Oats were steady and the trade was very mod­erate. Receipts were 103 cars. There were no withdrawals from store. Exports amounted to 70,-432 bushels. Cash oat s a shade higher.

Provisions.—The market for product w a s nar­row. The feeling a t the start was derived from the hog market, but later i t was influenced more or less by the action of wheat . A t the close firmness pre­dominated. May pork closed 5c. higher; May lard and ribs each 2%v\ a 5c. higher. Receipts smal l ; shipments large: cash market quiet and firm.

Est imated receipts to-morrow:—Wheat; 16 cars; corn. 105 cars; oats , 95 cars; hogs, 26,000, Freights , nothing done.
