COTTON MARKET
 SHOWED ENERGY
Opened at an Advance and Rul-
 ed Moderately.
RESULT OF BETTER CABLES
Whenever the Market Showed Signs of Breaking There Was a Good Class ofBuying- Close
 Was Steady

New York. January 25.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at to points advance and ruled moderately active after showing great energy during hhe first hour. The early improvement was the result of bet ter cables than looked for. Liquidation and covering on about equal terms kept the market quite steady, while new speculation was not attempted with mutla confidence IS there still remained scrne mtsgivlng as to the real situation of affairs at the seal of war: At the best point of the session prices showed an advance of Sa10 points on yesterdays closing figures, while during Ine weeks interval the net improvement was only a matter of 3d5 points. When ever the market showed signs of breaking, however, there was a pretty good class of buying, with March contracts getting the preference reports from southern spot mar kets, continued generally firm, but predic- tlons of larger receipts at the ports offset this feature. The market was finally very steady at a net advance Of to points.

raibott & Paimers stock Letter

New York, January 25-The market naturally received decided impetus at the opening of business from the announcement of the successful occupation by the British forces of Spion kop, and both local and London markets were further strengthened by the reduction of one-half per cent. made today in the discount rates of both the Bank of England and the Bank of France. The combined influence of the two cfrcum stances gave an appearance of animation to the inbtial dealings. which has long been absent, but with the course of the day much of the early enthusiasm eyaporated and the market relapsed into the stagnant condition which has prevailed. Apart from the news from South Africa, and the de- developments in the European money mar kets, the days situation comprised no new features. The close was at slight declines from the opening.

as has been expected.
This decision was reached Tuesday
night, when the local branch of the
order in this city, after being brought
to the realization OF their inability to
properly entertain the grand body de-
cided by unanimous vote TO write
Grand Secretary Hawshurst asking him
to cali the convention off so far as
Hampton was concerned. While the
local lodge was forced to take this step
Ii did so with no little embarrassment
The reasons for withdrawing the in
vitation to the "Cold Water" people at
this late time are many and there was
nothing else left to be done. The
Hampton lodge Is almost disbanded
and the warning interest manifested by
the few members remaining in the
order only tended TO make the enter
tainment OF the visitors an utter i'm
possibility. as 1t will require both time
and money to properly entertain the
grand lodge meeting. The local lodge
has not sufficient money in the treasury
with which to meet its own demands.
much less pay for the entertainment of
perhaps 200 delegates. Then the mem
bers took little interest in the order.
and It is Very probable that at next
Tuesday nights meeting the lodge Will
disband.
The Grand Lodge meeting was sche-
duled for September and would have
remained in session three days. An
excellent program had already been
arranged and last weeks issue of the
