Ign trophy. which represents the championship
of associations auxiliary to the American Whist
League. was played in the theatre of the Jersey
City Club on Saturday night. The New Jersey
Whist Association, which won the trophy from
the New York State Association on Oct. 8, was
called upon to defend 1t against the challenge of
the Atlantic Association. which comprises all
the clubs in Pennsylvania, Delaware. Maryland,
aud the District Of Columbia. The result was
in favor of the challenger by the narrow margin
of nine tricks in the 1900 played. The extreme
variations in some Of the scores. however, led
to o detailed examination after the match was
over and the players had gone home. An err

count was the chief depressing factor of
the day. The lighter movement and the
good demand for spot cotton served as
support to prices, and a check upon the
enthusiasm of short sellers. March

day, and slowly sagged until the close,
which was quiet and steady at 704Gi7 Csc
for March. All are watching the move
ment of supplies with intense interest,
and upon that movement the course of
the market, in the near future, will hang"
New York, Jan. 2S.-The Sun says of
cotton: THE trading in cotton to-day was
almost lifeless What little business was
transacted was confined mainly to local
scalpers. The fluctuations in prices were
few and unimportant. with the tendency
downward. The largest spot sales in Liv-
erpool, together with small local de-
mand, caused a higher opening here. The
Improvement, however, was soon lost in
the absence Of local support and prices
slowly receded. New Orleans sold here.
and Liverpool sent a few selling orders.
The receipts at the ports were moderate.
and the total for the week is now esti-
mated at 10000 bales maximum against
previous estimates of 10000 bales. The
southern spot markets were firm and fairly
active"
