New York, Jan 2S.-(Special.) al.)-Liverpool was lower this morning, and our opening was weaker in tone. During the first hour prices showed declining tendency, March being offered at 7.94, but the tenor of specu- lation underwent change when it became known that the export demand continued brisk, and the buyers found it next to inn possible to secure cotton in the south at current quotations Some of the large houses which were persistent sellers last week changed their ground, and were con spicuous and heavy buyers today. March advanced to S01, and closed at 7.99@S0O. with the tone quiet. Whether the recovery will proceed further will depend upon the attitude of Liverpool tomorrow

Sums Cotton Review.

? New York, Jan 2S-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined points early. but rallied and closed at a net advance of 3 to points, with the tone quiet and sales Of 142, 200 bales.
 Today's features: The receipts at the ports and interior towns were enough to make the bears meditative in spite of some decline in Liverpool. So was the fact that the stocks at five of the principal interior towns thus far this week have decreased Ii, 900 bales. That looks as though the ports are getting their cotton not from the coun- try so much as from the interior towns. Liverpool was buying. The receipts at the ports and the interior markets were not only light today, but the estimates for New Orleans and Houston tomorrow were small. Fall River was firm. and in the south most people were firm in their refusal to reduce prices The feeling in cotton is more hope ful. A good export demand is expected in the near future, not only here, but at the south, and some of the largest houses in New York continue to predict higher prices. tity to be brought into. sight this week will be about 1z6. 900 bales. the same as in this week of 1893. If this turns out to be true the bears may have an experience more in- teresting than agreeable. The bulls bank principally on small receipts. a small crop and a big demand for raw cotton, both for domestic and foreign consumption.

suggested to Brady that It might be
more profitable to take portraits by

Fulton street, New York city. Year
after year the Brady photographs i'm.

In 1860 Mr.. Brady opened branch

by men whose names We're destined
to occupy important places In the
pages Of American history.
Obtaining the consent of the Secre-
tary of War Mr.. Brady fitted out three

years ago an Englishman owed a sum
of $500 TO BOer. When payment was
demanded, instead of paying the whole
sum, he paid only 1900. On arriving
home the Boer counted out his money
with the aid Of Ready Reckoner,' and
found that he had been paid 1900 short
He Immediately returned to the En-
gllshman, explained to him that, ac-

seized the book and replied that 1t was
