TO-DAY'S MOVEMENTS Of THE MARKETS R, C. McManus Asking Southern for $2,000, and it is Stated Southern Will Hold City Liable for Any Loss Road 3Iay Sustain. Because of the alleged mlasmal va- Dors and of the existence of alleged cess-pools of disease breeding tenden cies, created by the excavating by the Citv of Charlotte of an immense hole In the ground adjoining the ter ritory bounded by South College and Stonewall streets, known as the city rock quarry, a suit for $2,000 is be ing fought out In civil court to-day and in case the Southern Railway is the loser, the Southern will hold the city liable for any fuss that the rail road may sustain. The plaintiff in this action is Mr. R. C. McManus. The public during the past few years has been pretty well informed as to the condition of things In and about the old rock quarry. For many years the City of Charlotte secured Its rock from this quarry for macadam izing and before anybody realized what had happened, there was a hole in the ground that loked like the crater of Vesuvius when in a quies cent state. The hole is deep, big, steep and commodious and there is room enough inside to hold the city's rainfall for a yearperhaps. As a re sult of this the hole, according ta the allegations made in the complaint of the suit entitled "McManus vs. South ern Railway," has become extremely undesirable to the neighborhood, it being described as a menace to the health of the section, and as an un sightly affair, etc. Although Mr. McManus Is suing the Southern, which is the real owner of the property on or under which the hole is located, the Southern proposes to hold the city responsible for any losses sustained, as the excavatine of the hole was done by the city, with and according to the terms of an agreement between the two. The morning session of the court was ta ken up in the hearing of evidence. Messrs. Burwell & Cansler "and Stew art appear for the plaintiff and CoL W. B. Rodman for the Southern.

' HJAYWARD AND CLARK'S COTTON LETTER. New Orleans, Jan. 21.-Credltable Jnfor matio ppbout the ehaustion of unglnned cotton and a consequent reduction in f-upply views started fresh buying by Manchester in the Englith market. This morning's, cable says: "Advance due to spinners calling cotton." Spot prices in Liverpool were points higher and sales 12,000. Near futures in connection with the calling of spots ad vanced 8 points and distant futures about six." & On our side there Is no abatement whatever in the bullish spirit and bu.ylng is so continuous as to overcome all claims for a reaction. Bullish news from all around nourishes this sentiment contin ually. For Instance, the latest dry goods report is very optimistic and reads: "A large business is being done tn cotton goods. Advances in sme domestic cotton goods lines are looked for." News from abroad clearly shows that the advanee in the raw material is helping manufactur ers. The firm belief that the census re port on Saturday will confirm the Na tional Ginners' forecast and cause fur ther advance on reduction in supply views is at the bottom of the resolute buying which advanced our market 8 points soon after the opening. The spot market so far to-day is quiet. advance and holders are very Arm and hard to trade with. HAWYARP AND CLARK, AT THE STAR.
