succession Liverpool exhibited marked strength today. That market opened I'd higher, and at 1:30 p. an. the advance had extended to Id in some options. This dis play of advances strengthened the beAef in the truth of the unfavorable crop re- ports from Argentine and India. London reportd5 continuance of drought in India and that crop estimates were being ma terially reduced, some authorities still claimed an exportable surplus for Argen- tine of 45,0O0, GOO bushels despite heavy rains and generally unfavorable conditions. Do- nestle crop advices were excellent, es- pecally those from Kansas and the h. dian Territory. The northwest aggregated $50 cars against S78 last week and 20 year ago. Chicago receipts were 63 cars. May wheat opened 1sc higher at 91sScQ 9l19c. Trading quiet, but the fore&n conditions iuparted a decidedly bullish flavor to the market and the option ad- vanced to S1sscq91s4c, around which price the market held steadily for quite a time. The July option was somewhat moro act- i've than May, and the range of prices was considerably broader. The coarser grains were slow but firm, with wheat. Provis- ions were helped by higher yard prices. Packers bought moderately.

Cotton Letter.


 New York. Jan. 1S-The cotton market was more active today and scored fair decline. The continuance of heavy receits and the fear that the strike among New England operatives might become general, discouraged a good many longs, who tum- bled their holdings over. The bears sold cautiously whenever the demand appeared to slacken. Liverpool declined 11a 64ths this morning, and our market opened to points lower, the first Bales of May being made at 5.76. The liquidation started im- mediately after the opening, and prices gradually yielded until the close, which was easy at the bottom with 5.7 bid for May Port receitps were very heavy and the semi-weekly movement at the interior towns was full. The southern markets were easier. We do not consider the imme- diate outlook cheerful.

New York, Jan. 1S.--Prices were slaught- cred in the afternoon trading on the stock
 exchange today, especially those properties, including local traction lines, which were most benefited by the markets buoyancy yesterday. Prices opened with fractional
 expectations in sympathy with London, which traded moderately both ways, but buying slightly more than they sold. Large operators were not very active in the local market until the late trading. There ap- peared to be a general undertone of strength in the early transactions, but the temper gradually changed and rumor mon gers were not idle. Among other effects to depress the market there was circulated an unfounded story that the United States minister to Spain had sought the protection of the British embassy at Madrid. Realiza- tions of profits by large interests aided the bear raid, uncovering stop loss orders and the market closed at or near the lowest, and very weak. Manhattan Elevated and Metropolitan Street Railway advanced early on manipulation, but the interests that engineered the advance in these se-

StnciI LRtGpr

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett A'gt.
 New York, Jan. 1S.-TWo distinct opinions were circulated relative to the action of Sugar One was that the stock was going lower because Havemeyer wished it lower owing to the proposed fight against the Ar buckles and the prospects of the annexa- tion of Hawaii and the possible annexation of Cuba, or probably because he could see that his company needed it's surplus money in the beet sugar industry. The other side was that Sugar had experienced 10 point drop in a bull market and a stock paying 12 per cent. with a practical pledge at the annual meeting of paying 12 per cent this year was anything but a dear stock under or around 135. Considering the adverse in- fluences there was nothing in the situation to change the opinion that the company would continue to manage its business as to take advantage of every political>or business change anywhere in the world The cost per car for mile Manhattan with the use of the locomotive is something like 20 cents, with electric power it is cal culated that a saving can be made almost if not as great as in the case of the Metro- politan Street Railway system, which Is about g cents. This would be sufficient in addition to increased gross earnings to give Manhattan stockholders a considerable larger return on their stock. Sugar and Manhattan were the strongest features of the early market. The former gained over a point, while the latter advanced 2Aa on simultaneous purchases of 2,7O0 shares ranging from 119 to 12O. Metropolitan scored gain of 3B.
 The movement elsewhere lacked feature, but there was a general undertone of strength apparent. London's strength was an influential factor in the railroad list which was helped further by continued purchases by the Vanderbilt interests Realizing sales later caused an easier ten dency in the traction stock, the list follow ed fractionally in sympathy. Offerings be- came heavier, however, on a recession to last nights level. Manhattan, A P. R., the Changers and Northern Pacific bore the brunt of sales pretty we'll q

 New York, Jan. 1S.-FaM River news was disappointing, and early English cable advices were rather discouragng and the market opened with prices unchanged to 8 points lower in consequence Deciden weakness followed the call, being the re- suit of local liquidation and bear selling induced by indications of liberal move ment at the ports, not altogether favora- ble accounts from southern markets and generally satisfactory crop news. The net decline was increased to and points when the downward course was arrested by a surprising number of limited buying orders The failure of Macy & Pendleton had no direct bearing on the market, but tended to increase the apprehension of various longs.
