New York Cotton Market.

New York, Szpt. 30.-The cotton mar l1eit opened steady 3 to 1 points higher on better cables than was expected, eased off partially under local liquidai- tion in thsi absence of outside speclIla- tive buying but again turned firmer. The local trade being disposed to pay molse attention to the quarantine talk and appreherd a serious curibailment of cotton receipts at a time when Spinnel-S will be likely to stock up. Buying on this view absorbed all the southern of- ferings of futures. The quarantine Is al- ready strenously in the way of the move mtsint of cotton at Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana and private wires excite fears of spreading regulations. But spinners ai1fere to their large crop predictions and are in no hurry to anticipate th-dr wants. Near the close liquidation set in and nearly all the gain was lost. The close was barely steady at net gain Of 1 to 2 paints.

Cotton Letter

New York. Sept sO.-The cotton mar ket was quiet today and the feeling was slightly more cheetful. Liverpool ad- yanced one point this morning and our market opened three to four points higher After the opening the execution Of few selling orders caused the early advance to be lost. Receipts, however, was again quite moderate and a good de- mand soon developed. The bidders ran the market up seven or eight poines. At these prices there was plenty for sale and the bsst part of the rally was lost again. January opened at 6.3S, de- clined to 6.34, advanced to 6.41, declined to 6.36 and clcssd at that figure, with the tone of the market barely steady. General opinion is still advsrse to cot cCt, but on all breaks there seems to be fairly good demand. -~s

Financial


 New York, Sept. S0.-Evening Posts London financial cablegram:
 The stock markets here were good to- day except Americans, which followed the New York lead and closed at about the lowest. It is not likely that there will be any strong renewal of buying of Americans here until the New York position has been more clearly definsd. It is still believed, however, that New York will soon take an upward move- ment again as a renewal of activity there Is increasingly credited here. It is thought that New York also will at- tract more gold, although there are no signs of fresh shipments at the mo- ment. Mines were good and the helpers talk of a transferrence of attention from Americans to them. That, however, practically depends on the New York initiative. South Americans were in fa- vor, notably Argentines and Brazlls.
 Short time loans are in demand here as is usual on the last day of the month, and tine bank lent a considerable amount today.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Today persons from
all parts of the country that are interest,
ed in the work of tclegraphing gathered
in Medina Tempia to attend the telegra-
piers bali. The affair was grand sue
cess from the grand march to Home
Sweet Home"
Numerous committees had been at
work on the program for weeks, and the
result is said to have eclipsed any, SINH
lar attempt given in years. Railroads
from all directions brought parties from
all cities within n great radius OF I'm.
cago. a large party came in a special
car from *. Louis: seventy-fve from
Kansas City; eighty from St. Paul and
Minneapolis fifty from milwaukee,,
twenty-five from Cincinnati: fifty from
Detroit and sixteen from Pittsburg.
Smaller parties came from Winona,
Mimi; La Crosse, Wis; st. Joseph, Mo-;
Dubuque, Iowa, and number OF inter
mediate points, and almost every impor-
tant office in the country was represented
by one or more guests.
A number of prominent men OF Chi
cago were present. among them Senator
elect Mason and Mayor George h. Swift,
the latter being an old-tmc operator;

with his assistants, had answered 5000
letters regarding the affair within the
last ten days.
Wires had been run into the building
and the ball room was encircled by a
series of saunders adjusted so as to imi-
tate the clamor usually heard and under
stood in all parts of the country. The
rattle of the instruments sounded shrill
above the music of the orchestra and the
patter of gliding feet and added much
to the occasion for those to whom every
tick of the sounder had significance.
Bulletins of double murders and Cuban
battles, messages of regret from far-off
telegraphers, kilograms of greeting from
distant Offices and doubtful jokes from
struggling Morse Instruments mingled
with the music of the two-step, the polka
and the time-honored waltz.
Mayor Swift, with the other operators,
endeavored to renew his proficiency and
recall his connection with the profession,
but complained of the "Swiftness' of the
pace and his inability to break" and
was compelled to seek an interpreter.
During the program numerous flash
light photographs were taken, giving
numerous views of the hall and the
merrymakers. A collation. was served
at 11:30 and dancing continued till late

THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION
Discussed in House of CommOns-Appre-
priation for Expense of Expedition

London, Feb 5.--Some important state
ments were made today in the house OF
commons on the vote OF f73S, S02 for the
expenses of the recent Anglo-Egyptan
expedition up the Nile to Dongola. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor OF
the exchequer, referred to the decision Of
the Egyptian mixed court of appeal IN
refusing to allow the funds of the caisse
of the Egyptian debt to be used to de-
fray the expenses of the expedition, thus
compelling Great Britain to advance the
money required The chancellor Of the
exchequer declared that the court OF
appeals had thus created an almost "ab-
surd position" and adding, land next
year grave question will arise regard
ing the courts powers and authority and
whether it should be allowed to thus
interfere in such affairs.
'Ihe trouble of the British occupancy
is that France and Russia. especially
never allowed Great Britain free hand
in Egypt. Invountarily retiring from
that country France has now thrown
upon Great Britain the whole RESPONSE
bility of the safety of Egypt, and Great
Britain may fairly demand hand in
the performance of her responsibilities.
1.-The government believes that their
position in Egypt is right and will not be
run out of it by difficulties such as the
TeIuSul Oh IllOuty. 1T utAI
will be at Aba Hamed and probably the
advance later will go further but how
far it is impossible to say"
Mr.. John Morley, who was chief sec
rotary for ireland in Lord Rosebery's ad-
minstration, commented upon the gravity
of the statements made by the chancellor
of the exchequer. especially to the action
of France and Russia in the matter OF
the caisse, which, Mr.. Morley declared,
"is a direct and most imprudent challenge
| to those powers who questioned the sim
| cerity of British policy.
THE government has now avowed,''
continued Mr.. Morley. that the expedi-
| ton was the first step in prolonged, costly
| and dangerous operations, into which 1t
was the greatest madness for the gov
| eminent to plunge"
Mr.. Morley commented upon the lock-
ing up of great sums and bodies OF men
ut time when we are within meas
urable distance Of other difficulties"
Mr.. Labouchere. radical leader, and Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, liberal leader,
| characterized the references Of Sir
| Michael Hicks Beach to France and Rus
STA as "mischievous and dangerous"
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and Mr.. Geo.
n. Curzon, parliamentary secretary for
! the foreign Office, protested against the
"unwarranted Interpretation which Sir
William Vernon Harcourt had placed
upon the formers language.
| After further discussion the motion to
appropriate the sum mention was adopted,
| 149 to 81.
