A "Nondesctlpt' Fish.

Fred \. Standsh and l.. y, Doug
las Of Montpelier, drove Monday
afternoon to Albany on Il pickerc
fishing expedition. They returned
with over sixty handsome pickercl
ranging in weight from a hall pound
up to five pounds each. Attention
has been especially attracted by a
nondc,cript fish weighing about half
a pound and appearing to he half
horned pout and half eel and has Il
tail exactly like the common silver
eel so common IN Vermont waters.
Ii has no scales and is far from, being
Il handsome fish. How thi, pisca-
torial freak ever got into Il ponl
where 4 prohibitory law is IN vogue,
it would trouble even Neal Dow to
explain.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. N.-Cotton enjoyed an- other small rise today. Liverpool was hardly up to expectations this morning, but the opening here was from unchanged prices to two points higher. After the opening selling by commission houses re- suited in a temporary set back, but the local bulls have taken heart at the strength displayed by the market during the last day or two and at the more mod crate receipts and they bought freely. Shorts covering was also feature and the market recovered its early loss and closed at the best prices of the day. May opened at 5.SS, declined to 5.s0, advanced to 5s4 and closed at 5.S3 to 5.S4, with the tone of the market very steady. After the close some belated buyers paid two points higher than the closing figures. The improvement may go somewhat further but we do not expect an important ad- vance in the future.

This continued upward movement unattended by any sen sational features gives the impression that it is legitimate and not the result of spec ulative operations There was an abundance of strength manifest at the opening, May opening from 95A@95h against the final quotations of 9isl last night. There was a moderate demand from shorts, but it was readily supplied by commission houses, who had quite a lot of selling orders. There was also some selling against weekly calls by room traders, and as a natural conse- quence the trend of the market was down. ward for time. A cable from Broomhali reported that Russia would probably soon become an importer of wheat. This and reports that navigation at several import ant localities was again closing had a stimulating and steadying effect. Mnne- apolis reported flour good, export demand and sales aggregating 35o.OO0 barrels. North west receipts were 2S4 cars against BOT last week and 1S2 last year. Chicago receipts were 21 cars, 2 of which graded contract quality. After noon the pit was thrown into a state of excitement by the operations of the bull clique.

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett Agent
 New York, Jan. 27.-The cotton market, after opening steady at unchanged prices to points higher ranged within compara- lively narrow variations, reaching a net advance of 1 to points during the fore noon. There was practically nothing in the news to stimulate to or aggressive action in other directions. Futures at Liverpool advanced partial 1 point in response to our improvements of yesterday with spot sales increased to 12 900 bales on basis of 7-32d for middling It was anticipated that 250 ,OO0 bales would come into sight during the week and port receipts of about 30,O0o bales were looked for, exclusive of possible clearances, against 24,479 bales last week and 13633 bales last year. Southern ac- counts were generally favorable, pointing to continued active export demand and hardening markets.

Stock Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Agent
 New York, Jan. H.-There were no sen- sational developments at the opening Thursday, and anticipations as to the na- ture of the speech to be delivered by the president as the Manufacturers club in New York tonight served to offset the few from London were disappointing. The market for Americans, with one or two exceptions, was weak with prices A4%c in decline In consequence the information al issues as a rule, especially, L. and N. were not inclined to follow the upward movement of the general list, which was later enjoyed under the leadership of the grangers. This group advanced in sym pathy with Rock Island and Burlington, which were buoyant on favorable news relative to their refunding plans. Omaha was firm on prospects of a declaration of the regular per cent. dividend today and a preliminary statement issued by the directors showing about per cent. earned ern Pacifics were somewhat conflicting, but London purchased both issues mod erately. Talk with regard to the absorp
 ton of Lake Shore by the New York Gen. tral interests was plentiful. It is said nothing is to be done definitely at present. The plans are pretty well formulated and only official sanction has to be given to them. The consolidation if effected will probably be under the name of New York Central. Substantial gains were scored by the usually inactive issues, starch sec ond preferred rising ten points, and St. Paul and Duluth per cent. There were some realizing orders executed in New York Central but they were soon over come and with the balance of the Wander bilts the stock advanced appreciably

Dry Goods.

New York, Jan. H.-Reports from dry goods stores showed fair returns in all jobbng lines, but quoting at first hand. Both markets are firm pending general advance, and sellers in all grades of goods are hard to deal with. The activity in the cotton cloth market has been strengthen ing factor. and the advance in cloths has helped the situation locally materially The quota of buyers is fairly large, but as yet these visiting representatives prefer to get the prices than to enter into actual busi- ness deals except for very small and seat tering lots of goods. In staple cottons there is a firm tone evident although sales have been of small character, as hereto fore.

Chicago Change

Chicago, Jan. N.-The bulls in wheat to- day gave another example of how com pletely they are in control of the immediate course of that market. The Letter party used January to urge on the excitement Of shorts. hoisting the price of that delivery to $1.05, an advance of cents since yes terday. General covering by shorts re- suited in a 2sscq2lsc advance in May, while July closed 1% higher with the largest trade in both futures for some time. Re- ports that Russia would soon become an importer, a big flour business and strong outside markets all contributed to the strength and made the advance easy. Other markets were carried upward with wheat, corn and oats advancing about Slsc each, while provisions closed 21scq7lsc higher.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Jan. 27.-After opening steady at unchanged prices to points higher, the cotton market sagged off, but maintained steady tone throughout the session. The bears still explain that bad roads are the cause of the small receipts. The bulls are making much of the point that the ex- port movements of cotton have been run ming ahead of receipts and that the hold CTS of spot cotton in the south show in- difference The investment demand and the covering of shorts were sufficient to hold the market. While the volume of business was small there was a good class of buying in fair proportion for foreign and southern accounts. The market was finally very steady at an advance of 2@3 points.
