New York Cotton Market.

New York, Jan. 16.-The trading in cot
ton today was moderately active, and the
undertone of the market continued firm
despite continued efforts of the Liverpool
interests in conjunction with bear traders
here TO break It,. The weather conditions
continued rainy throughout the cotton
belt, receipts light. spot markets firm with
continued good demand. exports large, and
sentiment of outsiders bullish. There was
very heavy selling on the opening from
the Liverpool houses, and bear traders
were active and, as a consequence, first
prices showed declines of two points from
Saturdays closing, with March 5.67, May
5.73. July SIS, and August 5.S1, from
which there was a further decline of one
10 two points all around. Instead OF start
ing liquidation, which is apparently the
objective point of both the Liverpool and
local interests, the decline brought out
large buying orders from Wall Street and
commission houses. They readily absorb
ed all the offerings, and later had the ef-
feet Of turning the market up.
Buying orders on the basis of $40 for
May and $50 for August were very large,
some of them being in 5000 bale lots.
Later, some OF the shorts and scalpins
element bought, and all the early loss was
| recovered, March selling back TO $40, May
5.75, July $50, and August 5.S3, before the
noon hour, and the market continued
steady on that basis. 1t is noteworthy
feature that the demand from New Eng
land spinners continues good, that trade
! reports from that centre are more en-
couraging than for two or three years, and
| that the total port stocks are now nearly
! 200, 600 bales less than last year.
The Liverpool cables reported spot cot
ton there 1-32d lower today, with total
sales of 1000 bales on the basis of 3 sd
for middling. The market there for fu-
J lures opened easy. and declined ! IL
points, but closed steady at net decline
! of but 1-2 point on the near months, while

A RELIC OF SANTIAGO.
Lieutenant Blunt Brings Back n Wa
Ter Hottie With u Record.

An interesting relic of the Santiago cam
paign was brought to this city yesterday
by Lieut.. Hamilton II. Blunt, of Company
H, Ninth Immunes, who has just returned
from Cuba, and is on his way TO his home
in Rhode Island. The relic is bamboo
water bottle. which was made by mem
ber of the First District of Columbia Vol
unteers while that regiment was in front
of Santiago. Lieutenant Blunt found the
bottle at the foot of San Juan Hill on Sep
tember s. The following inscription was
cut in 1t with a pen knife:
No. Il, Company G, 1st D. c. ", Camp
Alger, Va, May 1921, 1898; Camp Thomas,
Chickamauga, Ga, May 23-June 1, 1898;

Catapia July q from Port Tampa, Fla, to
Siboney, Cuba, July $40, 1898; Santiago
Heights. July 11-l9, 1898; San Juan
Heights, July 19-.'
Each member of the District regiment
was given a number after the command
was mustered into the service. The owner
of the bamboo bottle was in Captain Hodg-
sons company and as soon as his name can
be learned it will be returned to him.

ing OF the football men who played in
the championship game against Yale,
November Il. held in University Hall to-
night. William Hanniford Edwards was
unanimously elected captain of the Prince
ton University football team for 1899.
Edwards is a member of the junior class
and lives at Lisle, \. Y. He is six feet
and one inch in height, weighs 221 pounds,
and is twenty-one years of age. He has
played right guard for the varsity eleven
for the last two years.
Although the meeting was held behind
closed doors it was learned that the cap
taincy was offered to Arthur Hiilebrand,
who held the position last year He re-
fused the honor, however. since next year
he wished to give the most of his time to
his studies. There is also an established
belief at Princeton that a second time
captain never wins the championship.

MARKET SEVERELY TESTED.
4 satisfactory Display of Strength
Against Foreign Pressure.


New York, Jan. 16.--Those persons who
expected that Saturdays remarkable deal
ings in the stock market would be fol-
lowed by further continuous rise in
prices this morning were disappointed. On
the other hand, the markets strength was
subjected to technical tests, from which
II emerged in way wholly satisfactory
to the believers in the stability of the cur
rent general movement.
In the first place London's attitude
toward this market was again chilling.
The early cable advices showed American
stocks quoted materially below the local
closing level of Saturday, and upon the
opening of business there was a deuge of
stocks poured upon this market by for
eign houses. This selling, which was esti-
mated as in excess of 1000 shares, was
heaviest and most effective in the Pacific
stocks, which staggered under the pres
sure of the foreign liquidation, but in
other quarters OF the market the foreign
sales had no material effect.
In addition TO the disposition of the for
eign dealings here there was extensive
local liquidation, particularly by the large
professional traders, while ii is likely that
the extremely conservative attitude as
sumed by the bulk of commission houses
for some time has brought about good
deal of selling on that account. There was
nothing to account for the price move
ments of the day. apart from the technical
circumstances cited. Only few COM
panies reported traffic returns today, al
though among them was the Northern
Pacific. which continues to run ahead of
last years heavy figures. Excluding the
December earnings the road has earned
the fixed charges for the entire year-a
remarkable showing.
Other matters of interest TO the holders
of railway securities included the an
pouncement of the sale by the st. Paul
company of 1-2 per cent bond, the low
est rate yet fixed by this company and
the formal denial by the Southern Railway
Company OF any interest in the purchase
of the Seaboard Air Line In the outside
financial situation an easier tone was re-
| ported in the money market and sterling
exchange was firm on heavy foreign SELL
ing of stocks in this market. 1t may be
said that none of these matters seemed to
attract general attention, which was al
most wholly concerned with the character
of the selling and with the identity oi
those conducting 1t.
In number of cases the highest prices
of the day were made at the opening OF
business and they were quite generally
recorded in the forenoon. In the railway
list the strongest features were the grang-
er shares, Pennsylvania and the anthra-
cite coal shares. The Pacific stocks, as
noted. together with the Southern Rail-
way and Louisville and Nashville were
rather heavy, rejecting the enormous for
eigh selling. The industrial division OF
the market was more active than for some
time and was generally firm, with Federal
Steel shares and Sugar Refining conspicu-
Gus.
The decline in the last hour reflected al
most wholly the more aggressive opera
tions on the short side of the market oi
the board room traders.

GENERAL sTERNBERG's REPORT
Prospect of Much sickness Among
