What would more quickly inspire our children to
noble deeds than to tell them of what was

Sums Cotton Review.

New York, Feb. 1.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined to points, but rallied, this crop months closing to points lower and the next crop unchanged to 2 points higher. The close was steady, with sales of 50,000 bales.
 Today's features: With Liverpool lower and receipts comparatively liberal, with Manchester sluggish cotton goods in this country very quiet and spot markets for raw cotton quiet and declining. it is not at all surprising that futures should have given way in New York today. Still they rallied before the close. particularly the new crop months. A belief that the differ ence between the grades will be revised very shortly tends to strengthen March. and there was also a rumor that an export ing house stands ready to receive 10000 bales on March contracts. All this tended to give a steadier tone to the market be- fore the close. Some of the New York bears were covering this afternoon. There was a less pressure to sell and more disposi- tion to buy. The Venezuelan question is believed to be now out of the way. Money is tending towards lower rates. Too many people are banking on big acreage and big crop next season, and every now and then the shorts in the next crop months find that they have oversold themselves. That was the case today, and those months accordingly closed higher. though this crop wound up a shade lower, partly because of selling for Liverpool and continental ac- count.

Chicago Change.

Chicago. H., Feb. n.--Weakness held complete possession of the wheat market today, and as a result of the depressed con ditions values showed a net loss of ac. News favorable to prices was sadly needed, and the lack of encouraging intelligence led more than one holder to dispose of bis wheat. May wheat opened at 66as to CSC. sold between 66la and 6512c. closing at 65ss:, aac under yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and 1ac lower.
 The decline in wheat placed corn in a dis couraging light, the sympathy existing be- tween the grains causing the latter to lose by the weakness of the former. The trad eng was of the kind which usually precedes a holiday and consisted of evening up of Former contracts. May corn opened at 3014c, declined to 29ac, where 1t closed. 1ac under yesterday. Cash corn was Ac lower.
 The oats market held firm at the begin hing of the season, but ultimately yielded to the pressure surrounding 1t. Trading was tn the main slow and quiet. May oats closed h@3sc under yesterday. Cash oats were steady.
 The combined influence of cheaper hogs and a weak wheat market was too much for product and under heavy selling of long stuff prices ruled weak and lower all day. "A heavy line was sold by prominent com mission man early in the session. some conn ment thereon taking place. May pork closed 221kc lower, May lard was 5e lower and May ribs 7la0010c lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, Feb. n.-Liverpool was lower today, and a further liquidation by tired holders of March and May cotton depressed prices further. May opened at 7.95. sagged to 792 and closed at 793 bid, with the tone steady. There was a marked absence of bear hammerng, and whenever decline took place it was the result of offerings by disgusted bulls, which nobody cared to take except at concessions. Tomorrow will be Lincoln's birthday, which has just been made legal holiday in this state. The ex- change will be closed. It was only the vague fear that some bulish influence might de- velop during the holiday that gave support to the market at the close and prevented a more serious decline.

 There have been important developments ih the dry goods market since the date of last review, due to the great success of the bond issue, the easier tendency of the money market and the revision to d lower scale of the prices of b1eaclied cottons. These have all been in. favor Of the adoption of a rpore liberal policy on The part of the buy das and in various directions at the close sellers claim clearer indications of less con servative buying, partly from the increased interest in bleached cottons, the direct out come of the new range of values. There is room for considerable increase yet in the general demand before the market reaches an active condition. but 1t Is encouraging to see that something Is being done to shako off the lethargy of. the past few months.
