New York Cotton Market.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 4.-Tie feature Of
the cotton market today was the falling
off in receipts at interior towns, due
largely to the recent heavy snow storms
all through the cotton belt. The effect of
this falling off was TO advance prices from
nine to ten points over yesterdays fig
ures. The sentiment of the trading ele-
ment still inclines to be bearish as the ad-
vance today is regarded rot being JUS
tilted by actual conditions. 1t is encour-
aging to note that the number of sellers
decreases with each successive rally and
that feeling of nervousness is steadily
growing among traders for the decline.

to the Commissioners to purchase the wood

nary prices fixed by wood dealers. With

charity If the Commissioners could pur-
chase the wood.

Success seems ssfIredtfor the reorganized
District Basket .ball5 League, which held
its meeting for otEa tazation during the
past week, an account OF which appeared
in The Times at the time.
All the teams are ahsious for the games
to begin, and excYllenl contests may be
expected, for the etleague starts off on
an equal footing ali arpund. Two OF last
years teams have new men in part and
the new teams have in many instances
certain players who seven now play the
game well and uisler whose leadership
the rest will quickly improve.
1t is the purpose OF the management
to make the contests especially attractive
to ladies, and to this end an extra effort
will be DI5de TO prevent all unnecessary
rough play. Also to do away with the
boisterous yelling and loud coaching which
certainly detracts from the game and is
entirely uncailed for. Let the work be
done in sportsmanlike manner, and let
the captain OF a team alone do the calling
of players to make the plays as they occur.
Football tactics should be absolutely
avoided, not only because they are not
needed in the game, but because they are
sure to bring about some injury. The floor
of a gymnasium is by no means a soft
one and each player owes 1t to the other
to avoid any play which might bring about
injury to the other.
1t is intended as free-passing game and
the ball and not the players the object to
be tossed about Rather should a player
lose a goal for his side nay, even a game,
than cause an injury which could other
wise be avoided
