improved. 1t has been unable to keep pace
with the increase Of students. They are
coming from all parts of the state and in
numbers so large that some extra provi-
sion must be made for accommodating
them and giving them the instruction TO
which they are entitled. Many Of the de-
partments are overcrowdei. the classes
are large and # is impossible for profess
sors to give that attention TO individual
members that is so essential TO thorough
instruction
The sciences are engrossing the atten-
ton Of a large number of students, ana
the classes are large and unwieldy. Bet
ter facilities are required in this depart
ment. and the necessity for erecting
science building can no doubt be shown
conclusively to those who win have 1t In
their power TO provide for this needed
structure Crowded as the students are
in a single building, IL is evident that
both instructors and students must be
hammered In their work, and that the best
results cannot be obtained. A han OF
science would relieve the congestion, and
IL IS not likely that any difficulty VIII
be experienced in convincing the men,
bers Of the legislature Of the necessity
for IL.
The university has now become so large
and important that 1t Is extremely un.
wise to cripple 1t I'm its great work or TO
impair its usefulness by making appro-
priations wholly inadequate to It's needs
1t IS now doing much for the young men
and women of the state, and has earned
the right to handsome support.

bilfty of the small crop estimate being s1aalized. The season has too far advanced sD lead to any other conclusion. The sBt- station at Manchester as regards cloth and yarns is very cheerful. with manufacturers supplied with orders for n5ne months ahead.
 This being the case, it Is natural that the English spinners should be unwilling to take chances for securing cotton at lower prices. The talk of the preparations for the next crop may make less impression cfhan expected. Acreage is quite a different matter from weather, and bulls believe that tn planting preparations should not stand in the way of a better market. Early prices were 4a9 higher on quite active trad ing. Liverpool reported a good demand for spots and a sharp rise for futures. The local crowd could not hesitate with tf1ees conditions to respond promptly. The sup port from the south was liberal, but some parties there also sent selling orders.

Cotton Latter

By Private Wire to T. G.-Hew1ett Agt.
 New York, January 22-Liverpool has been acaive and feverish, with an advance of 1-32 on spots and about 5-64 on futures, but lost most of the gain as the day progressed, and has changed the relative values of nearby to far mon.hs to the ex- tent of 11s poinas in favor Of the far which is more natural than has ruled Out mar ket opened 5 to 8 points up in sympathy with Liverpool. The early prices were the best liquidation sales after the call lead- ing to some ten points decline. March continues the strongest month, though to- day Liverpool has been buying May and August in sympathy with their relative strength there. Receipts are fairly good today, being ahead of lase week and last year, and are likely ito continue free for some time, owing to active movement in spot, but little attention Is paid to 1t just now. Afternoon session opened dull at the lowest prices. The pointers for tomorrow at New Orleans and Houston being large. By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Agt. <

ralhott ' pa,mer,s vtoc,z Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, January 22.-While this morn- ing's news from South Africa was, in the main, favorable to the British forces, it was by no means so definite and decisive as had been expected and hoped for It was perhaps on this account that the stock markets, both in London and New York, were, while steady, again extremely dull. The advance in consols and the expectation that further favorable news would be re- ceived from South Africa with the course of the day, led to a somewhat leisurely re- treat of shorts in the market, but 1t was apparently to this that the morning ad- vances were mainly owing. General com mission business was in very light volume The conspicuous features of the railway list in respect to strength and activity were M. P. the Changers and Southern, pre- ferred In the industrial quarter the tone was generally strong with Sugar and To- bacco and T. c. I. the conspicuous issues.

New York, January 22.-The most signf- cant feature of the situation with the open ing of business in the market this morn ing was the further rise in the English consols to 102A against 101% on Saturday. While the actual news from Africa was not as definite as had been hoped for, it was nevertheless considered encouraging in the main, indicating further progress by the British forces. The early advices showed that the American quarter of the London market was dealt in at small, irregular prices compared with the local closing fig ures. M. P. continued the feature of the ilway list Third Avenue was tine active feature of the local traction issues and was steady on the announcement of suc- cessful outlook.

TAPERED OFF AT MIDDAY

New York, January 22.-Today's cotton market started out with great exhibition of strength and displayed more spirit than has been manifested in weeks. AM news seemed to be bulish and all orders seemd to be buying orders. But as the session pro- gressed some arbitrage houses became skeptical and Were unable to resist the profit to be had
 Demand from outside sources gradually tapered off and the' professional leaders lost much of their initial increase. The prices by midday most of the advances had been wiped out. In the early after noon trading was almost ate a standstill and fluctuations were limited ito a bare 2 points.
 Still later the market picked up some what and stiffened on a squirt of general demand, Liverpool dealing in the latter class of business. The market derived it's early strength from strong English cables, a former statistical position, sharp ad- vance of southern spot markets and an almost total absence Of sellers. Europe, the outside public, southern and the local ele- ment were all eagerly striving to secure cotton.
 Talk of reduced crop estimates and ru- mors that spot holders throughout the belt were preparing to advance quotations were also factors. The market closed steady with prices unchanged to 8 points higher.
