 COTTON MARKET
 AGAIN ADVANCED. The General Course of Trade Was Very Irregular. CABLES WERE ENCOURAGING Heavy Receipts Was Factor of the -- Bulls-Towards the End Trading Became Active and Mar
 ket Grew Firm
CABLES WERE ENCOURAGING

New York, March 9.--.A very large busi- ness was transacted in cotton to-day with the course of the market irregular from start to finish At the outset, there was an advance of 7q23 points This was largely owing to a better class of cables than had been looked for, leading to active covering and some renewed speculative buying, after which there was period of reaction whi-h reduced the advance to 10417 points. The reason for this drop was found in the fail- ure of the English market to maintain all the earlier advance. The easier ruling of the later cables were attended by private cables to the effect that spinners were hold ing large supplies, that sections of the Oid- ham railroad sheds were overcrowded with cotton, and that the early advance at Liver pool was largely due to outside speculative buying, including the purchase of s),GOO bales July and August cotton by an Egypt ian party.
 Receipts to-day were a bulIish factor. Later trading became very active, and the market was decidedly firmer; prices ad- vanced to a level 236D27 points above yesrer- days closing figures. The rally was largely dua to an influx of orders following tele- ph dispatches sent all around calling at tention to New York as the lowest market, and encouraging buying orders. The close was finally firm at a net advance vf i31t35 points.

DAY OF DULLNESS
 IN MALL STREET Slight Movement in Prices of Stocks Was Significant. SOME INTEREST IN SUGAR Underlying Strength Was Exhibited by the Action of Small Bear Trad
 ersto Move to Cover Their
 Short Contracts
SOME INTEREST IN SUGAR

New York March 9.-A day of remarka- ble dullness in the trading and slight move ment in prices in stocks was nevertheless highly significant in a negative way.
 There was some interest in Sugar, which recovered two-thirds of its dividend. There was pressure against Metropolitan. which fell at one time to 162, and Pittsburg c. c. & St. L. dropped 71a without explanation Third Avenue, Consolidated Gas, Peoples Gas, and some other specialties recently un- der pressure showed a tendency to rally on covering by shorts. Rubber was raided down points and recovered B. There were sharp advances in the Lnseed oil stocks and declines in Manhattan and Western Union.
 These changes were quite independent Of any common influence, and reflected no fea- ture of the general outlook. But the fact that the small bear traders were moved to cover their short contracts before the close and lbhe resistance to decline offered by the general list in the face of notably weak returns. which authorities agree must be faced tomorrow exhibited very strikingly the underlying strength of the securities market. Apparently the banks will show a loss in/cash by tomorrow's statement of about s1O,O0O,Oo0
 It is worthy of mention in considering the sterling exchange outlook, that announce ment was made in Wall street today that subscriptions would be received for the new English loan. The reported initiative by President Kruger toward negotiations for peace have had little effect on the mar ket<
 Bonds were dull and prices were irregular in their changes. Total sales, par value, $1,6450OO. United States 2s declined 1a in the bid market.

Comparisons to close of corre- spending weeks misleading as totals to close of this week last year would take in 191 days of the season, year before last 192 days, and in 1887 193 days against only 190 days this year.

 Details of the war loan was announced to- day. It is for e30,OO0,000 at 9S1a with inter- est at 2s4, redeemable at par in 1910. The prospectus was not issued during business hours but there was considerable dealings in options at 2 per cent. premium. Pro- rounced success for the issue is regarded as certain. The markets here were dull and featiareless today. It is expected that the public will begin to take an interest in the markets when the war loan is out of the way.

Great Year In Athletics.

During the exposition of 1901 at
Buffalo the greatest athletic and sport
ing carnival that ever took place in
America will be held. For the puc-
pose of this grand carnival the largest
sporting arena ever built in America is
to be built. 1t is to be known as the
Stadium and will cover nearly, ten
acres, having a seating capacity of
$4,000. 1t will be supplied with numer-
GUS entrances and broad aisles so that
the comfort of the spectators will be
assured. The large space beneath the
seats will be used for exhibits, being the
equivalent of a very large building. The
arena will contain quarter mile track
and ample room for the various pag-
eants and exhibitions Of live stock,
automobiles. farm and road machinery
vehicles, etc. At the western end of the
Stadium is a large ornamental building
which forms the main entrance to this
grand arena.

0NE ON CARROLLTON.
Wicked Cleveland Newspaper
Fellow ROasts the Hotels
Of CarrolPs Capital.

The Cleveland Press tells this one on
Carrollton:
He was Cleveland lawyer. never
known to have cracked a joke. Busi-
ness took him to Carrollton, a town
concealed from view by the hills of
Carroll county.
He went to the leading hotel--the
hotel-of Carrollton, and got a room,
in which there was bed with husk
mattress, in use since three years be-
fore the civil war. The husks had knots
tied in them. A few cobs, maybe, had
slipped in by mistake when the mat
tress was made, and had never been
taken out, for fear the symmetry of the
mattress might be marred.
When he arose in the morning and
went to the office, the proprietor me,
him with a genial smile and much
rubbing of hands.
ass.Well. sir, how did you rest, last
night?" he asked.
IT got up twice in the night to rest,
was the reply. and the hotel man is
wondering yet what he meant.

with the utmost qualification in the
British financial world. Bryan's tri-
umph had filled us with CONSERVATION
The United States now has four years

Lord Rovelstoke, chief partner In the
firm of Barring Bros, said: with ouI
many friends on both sides OF the At

President Mckinley. His success viii
