Cotton Latter

New York Jan. 30-Sefiom has the cot
ton market been so DUH and inactive a
week as the one just ended. The extreme
fluctuations have been within range OF
about a dozen points and while there was
no lack of bulish influences, they have so
far seemed powerless to arouse spegefia tion
from it's unusual torpor. Today the Liver
pool market was reported one and one-half
sixty-fourths lower and the opening here
was at decline of points in consequences.
But there was no pressure to sell and light
receipts induced some little buying which
resulted in recovery of the loss and nea
gain of l point for the day being estab-
lished March opened al cents, advanced
to 7.05 and closed at 70Sa704, with the tone
steady. The long expected shrinkags of
receipts has come at last. The bulls seem
confident that II is due to exhaustion and
must continue in increasing ratio, while the
bars effect to believe the lighter movement
is attributable mainly to weather condi-
tons and that receipts will presently swell
to proportions approximating those of De-
cember upon which of these TWO views
proves to be the right one will depend. the
course of prices in the immediate future.
We ourselves, basing our expirations chief
ly upon the good demand for spot cotton
share the bull view and look for gradual
~ improving market as spring approaches.
but any Improvement that may take place
will probably be subject to frequent if rot
sharp set backs, and we thing our friends
would do well to grasp whatever profit the
nuctuating of the market may from time
to time place within their reach.

HAS A MONOPOLY.

Charleston, s. c., Jan. 30.-The owners
of the Charleston street railway, a new
electric line now in course of construc-
ton, have just purchased the two horse
car lines now in operation here, the
Enterprise railroad and the City railway.
These companies have been doing bust
ness for many years and are operated
upon some of the most important thor
oughfares. The purchase price of the
City railway was par for stock and 50
per cent. for bonds The Enterprise
stock was somewhat less. This gives
the Electric company all available streets
in the city and all lines will be electri-

Chicago iChange.

Chicago, Jan. So.-W1reat had a very ac,
tive market withinA one cent range of
prices today. SHORTS covered freely and in
so doing afforded considerable strength to
the situation. Several sharp bulges took
place, but there were corresponding num-
Der OF weak spots. May wheat opened from
75l2c to 15i4e. sold between 745sc and 75c.
closing al 75i2c--a4@ sc higher than yestern
day. Cash wheat was irregular, closing
1hMAc per bushel higher
Corn--Better prices were quotable IN corr
early in the session, but the weakness of
wheat after the first fifteen minutes had an
adverse effect. Subsequently when the
rally in the leading market occurred there
was corresponding strengthening of the
tone of corn. May corn opened at 24J5ch
sold between 24ssc and 24c. closing at 241S%
0A4e--isMAc under yesterday. Cash corTi
was firm and Nc higher. closing easy. :
oats were in good demand and a fairly
active trade was noted. The action of
wheat aud corn served as a guide for trad
crs, the tone varying to accord Herewith.
May oats closed lsMAc lower. Cash oats
Were steady
Provsions.-Five cents advance in. hog
prices this morning was instrumental in
strengthening the tone of the product mar
ket. There were rather free offerings, how
ever, and the carly advanc was not sus-
tanned. May pork closed 212c lower than
yesterday, May lard and ribs each shade
lower
Leading futures ranged as fe,iows:

Stamford, Conn, Jan. S0.-Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher was worse today. She
was able last week to sit up in her room
for a short time each day, but she suf-
fered relapse, and today could not be
moved at all. The attending physicians
give the assurance that there is no inn
mediate danger, but they acknowledge
that she is steadily failing and that on
account of her advanced age, there is
practically no hope that she will recover
from the injury to her hip. She was
weaker today, and suffered more pain
than at any time in several weeks.

SITUATION DESPERATE.

Halifax. N. s.. Jan. sO.44The striking
miners at Spring Fall are about to play
ing desperate and as the mine owners
ignore the strike committee the miners
have decided to call off all the men who
are fighting the fire in the east slope.
This would mean the destruction of the
mine; but it is thought the provincial
government will interfere, the govern
ment being virtually the owner of the
mine and the company only the lessee.

New York. Jan. 30-Spot cotton here was
unchanged with sales of 40 bales for spin

SIC last year: New Orleans and gulf, 9-16c
against Sac last year.
The speculation today was tsagnant. The
fluctuations in prices were confined within
narrow limits and the closing figures were
practically unchanged from last nights final
quotations.
The decline in Liverpool. both for futures
and spots caused an easier opening here,
but on decreased estimates of the receipts
at the ports and interior towns next week,
the tone became firmer and prices ad-
vanced lsightly. Part of this trifling i'm
proyement was lost before the close, how
ever, on selling by local scalpers. The
receipts at the ports for the week are es-
timatd at 10000 to 115,OoO against 10000 last
