New YORK, Jan. 1S.-The stock mar
ket showed still further falling off III
the amount of business and while trading
was even larger than late it reflected q
growing lndispositiOn to operate. The
interest of the day centered in South
western stocks. There was heavy selling
OF Atchison early in the day, presumably
for Berlin account, which was accom-
panied by the usual disquieting rumors
which took the shape that the company
had been compelled to borrow money to
pay interest and that the next statement
would show large floating debt
and that the road had failed
to earn its fixed charges, about
81 900 900, with talk of a receiver.
The selling movement extended to San
francisco which was sold down although
the sales were believed to be for account
of the bear leaders. Missouri Pacific and
Texas and Pacific also suffered to some
extent. The weakness in Atchison and
other Southwesterns soon changed the
temper of trading and the early improve
ment was quickly held out. San
Francisco next came into promi-
nence followed by Texas and Pacific
and cotton oil. The general list was duh
and yielded slowly, ana in a few instances
some strength was shown, but dealings
were utterly devoid Of feature and the
fluctuations unimportant. The market
finally closed dull and heavy at or near
the lowest prices of the day.
Railroad bonds were firm to strong.
Government bonds were duh but strong.
State bonds dull and steady.

TIE COTTON MARKET i.

During the greater portion Of the past
week attempts to put the cost down have
met with only partial and temporary sue
cess, and the manner of the rebound
carried an impression OF considerable
and growing buoyancy. Operators for
rise had a twofold advantage,
first in promising accounts received
from abroad respecting consumption,
and the still untitled wants of spinners
against their short sales of yarns, and
second, in appearances that seemed to
justify belief that as the outlet ex-
banded the supply was commencing to
shrink. The result of this was liberal
and general covering, with considerable
investment, all of course acting as a
stimulus while it lasted, but finally it
looked as though all the timid
portion of the shorts had be-
come worked out and there was a
change about to q long market, with
probably every one who thought well of
cotton at the price pretty well
loaded up and waiting for profits. In
fact, the indications were that up TO yes
terday the bulls had probably discounted
their developed advantages and were in
need of little more assistance, with this
idea still more prominent on to-day's
market So far as could be discovered
there was nothing new of really bearish
character except in a disposition to
estimate next weeks receipts under the
somewhat ambiguous term of larger, -
and indeed on the cable advices the tone
was pretty steady, but the trouble seemed
to be that NO one cared particularly about
buying, and a great many were looking
for an opportunity to realize which,
as soon as it took positive form, had
weakening effect, and with few of the
large longs, as well as the small ones,
liquidating, depression remained
upon the market throughout As against
last evening, the loss was some 3GD4
points, closing at about the lowest,
though the final tone was called steady on
the official announcement. The strength
of Liverpool was due, it is said to cable
advtces from this side predicting only
about 10 900 bales receipts next week,
and the 'Fbears' claiming 90 ZOO or 25,-
600 more think there will be a change in
sentiment abroad on Monday, but
many bulls insist that the current set
back is only shaking off the weak element
and cannot proceed far. The record of
spot business continues light, with the
former line of quotations unchanged.
We hear continued complaints about
quality, low grade, poor color and sandy,
with much difficulty experienced in max
ing up desirable lines.

O'Clock last night more than thirty
masked men went to the jail for the pur-
pose of mobbing the NARROW brothers.
The Jail was guarded by FIVE men. The
mob captured the guards and made one
of them open the door To the cell which
held the prisoners, but the NARROW boys
showed fight and were awarded the first
knock down and first blood The mob
then abandoned the fight.

Boston Commercial Bulletin: The
great cotton bagging trust which, by
the way is not a trust, but pool, ex-
PRED by limitation on the Ist of January
and has died a natural death Its gross
profits for a years business amounted TO
about 81 600 600, but it is left with a
stock on hand that is but 5 600 600 yards
less than its total sales for the year, Local
jealousy and the action of leased
mills whose leases expired on
the 1st of January have been
too much for the half-dozen faith
ftll few who have succeeded for one year
in making bagging manufacturing profit
able. For the present the combination
is dead and manufacturers are selling
and manufacturing as much or as little
as they please. In the face of the heavy
stock of bagging carried over, it is barely
possible that the straying malcontents
may be willing, as summer approaches,
to seek the protection of the fold, in
which case the combination viii be re-
viyed. The only existing bond of union
is the stock on hand, which is to be di-
Yided among the mills pro rata.
On commencing operations the pool
estimated that the country IS consump-
ton of bagging was IS 600 ZOO yards
They therefore arranged for produc-
ton of 30 900, 200 yards, allowing 10,-
coo 900 yards for the product of the COM
pany outside the pool and for old bag
ging used the second time. If they had
set their price at a moderate level
these figures would not have
been very far wrong, but,
frightened by the Mills bill, the
pool set the price of 2-pound bagging at
10 cents, delivered in New Orleans, and
of course when the Mills bill died an in
glorious death were forced to sustain this
price to protect early customers This
very high figure introduced, as is well
known, all kinds of substitutes. Pine
straw bagging was the most prominent.
