COTTON.
New York, Jan. 13-There was a let
mp in speculative activity in the cotton
futures to-day and considerable talk
around the opening of ''toppy market.
The general market bearings, however,
were quite as substantial as at any time
since the late rise began. Fluctuations
narrowed down to a matter of four
points. TIE first call developed a steady
feeling, and while starting at a decline
of one point finished at an advance of
2 points. Following the call there was
a further general improvement of 203
points. but the market was at no time
particularly active. Certain Wall
Street houses contributed to the conf
dence of smaller longs by continuing
to buy with a liberal hand. The specu-
lative public at large also seemed in
clined to buy, when trading at ALL. The
upward movement in prices was arrested
by light selling for foreign Ald South
ern accounts and by realizing by some
of the smaller bulls in the local mar
ket and a few outsiders who considered
the market to be overso,d. In the after
noon the scalping fraternity had the
market mostly to themselves; but were
afraid to sell, although inclined to look
for some reaction to follow what they
claim is probable in the way of a liqui-
dation movement. The market was
finally quiet and steady with 3 points
lower to > points higher.

IS A ROARING FARCE.
So President Stickney Calls Interstate
Commerce Law.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-President Stick
ney of the Chicago Great Western Road
testified among others before the sub
committee of the industrial commission
Monday. Some of his statements
caused a sensation among his hearers.
His first declaration was: Il tell you
frankly these published freight rates
are not maintained by railroads and
cannot be maintained. 1t is an impOs-
sibility. The interstate commerce law
as far as Investigations and correc-
lions are concerned, is a roaring farce. :
The question of issuing free passes was
then taken up. He believed this prac-
tice should be abolished eve find it
to our interest" however, said he, "to
extend favors to certain classes OF
men," what would you think of con-
gress prohibiting the pass sys-
tenn stopping ticket scalping?'
was asked. 'My attitude on
such a question" was the unhesitating
response, ''is that congress is not Gre
ated to run the business of this cOun-
try. The best thing congress can do is
to repeal some laws it has made. The
ticket brokerage problem should be
left to railroads and the public" "Is
not the bulk of business done by scalp
ers given to them directly by rail
roads?" 81 presume it is was the
ready reply. edo you favor the public
ity of railroad affairs, and an examina-
ton of books by government experts,
as with banks?" was asked. IT am OPP
posed to every principle of government
paternalism except supervising police
authority. I believe the federal gov
eminent if it had the handling of rail-
roads would meet with the same limi-
tations against which private owner
ship now has to contend
