LITTLE PROGRESS
 IN WALL STREET Slight Speculation in Sugar the
 Only Feature. ALL SIDES WERE WAITING
They Did Not Know Exactly What They Were Waiting For, But it Seemed as if Every One
 Was Afraid

New York, January 16.-Professional op- erations in stocks fell away considerably today, and as there is no other interest in the markets the dealings made further progress toward condition of stagnation.
 There was some slight speculation in Sugar, Tobacco and the local fractions. but these represented little more than swapping jack knives" among the board room traders, as may be judged from the days small net changes. Those specula ative favorites are higher on the day after vari- ous fluctuations. There is no better ex- plantation of their having gone up than that they went down yesterday. There was evidence of a desire on the part of the shorts to cover in Tobacco, which pulled 1t up sharply in the late dealings and the rest of the market with 1t. It was emphati- cally a waiting market and it was by mo means clear what 1t was waiting for.
 The fact that the dullness was shared by the other great speculative centers of the world gives point to the supposition bhat the development of conditions in South Africa is what is awaited Money condd- tions continue to make progress toward greater ease all over the world, without the slightest effort in speculation.
 period of stagnation after so drastic Hquidaluion that of last month is by no means unique or abnormal, without count ing the South African situation. It is very generally believed that a British success aHefe would cause a sharp rally in prices, lt Tor no other reason than from the cover uhg made by the bears Who have sold the market in spirit of skepticism over any early change in the situation. It would be necessary to go back two years to the time of uncertainty preceding our war With span to find parallel for the ab- soiutely listlessness, or apparent waiting.

GLOOMY DAY IN
 COTTON CIRCLES Public Practically Refused to Make Any Investments. CLOSED STEAY AT DECLINE At No Time Was Trading Active, and Neither Faction Showed Any In-
 clination to Take Initiative
 Cables Disappointing
CLOSED STEAY AT DECLINE

New York; January 16.-The situation in the cotton circles, with the investment pub lie practically refusing on both sides, caused dull day in futures. The Ieluct- anee of leaders to make firm stand near ly created feeling of distrust among in- vestors.
 The market opened steady with prices unchanged to two points lower and con- tinued so all through the session. At no time was trading active and at no time did any of the various factions show an in clinaton to take the initiative. Peddling fashion Liverpool bought for the purpose of closing out old straddles; New Orleans and Wall street purchased the near and sold the late months, and the outside pulp lie liquidated in an indifferent way. The cables were rather disappointing, though refiecting no important variations in Liver pool or special change in the situation abroad.
 The market at the close was steady at net decline of three to seven points.
 New York, January 16.-Cotton quiet; middling, 77sc; net receipts, 7S7; gross, S2s4; sales, 524; stock, 12O, ,403: exports to the con- tinent, 131: exports to France, 2S4.

Talbott x Palmer's Cotton Letter

By private wire from L. De Gumoens &
 Son.
 New York, January 16.-The statement of the president of the convention of agricultu- ral commissioners that the crop will barely of less cotton this year, is expected to make considerable impression on the minds of farmers It is expected that there will be no such rush to plant cotton this spring as in former years This is the bull view while the other side takes the ground that no decreased acreage is probable. The question of the next crop Is of vital import ance just now, and until the prospects is more clearly defined the trade is expected to be cautious. Bulls are expecting TAyAr- pool to wake up and buy more freely of spots. The early market was without feat ure. Some selling by parties in small way and the scalping element was in evdence decline of points resulted from liquda- tion, but it was evident that the crowd would run either way with a bold leader Receipts were small and attracted little at hention March was worked up points the first hour. The market was otherwise dull and stupid. Cables showed 5000 spot sales at Liverpool at unchanged prices. and futures 11a points higher. Semi i-weekly in- terior receipts, 5000 vs 4S,000 last week. and 65 900 last year. Spot quotatio unchanged dn all markets excepting Memphis, 1-16c de- cline reported there The local market for futures dragged at slow pace all day. Talk of March showing a decided reaction in the near future was heard. The market eased off on small offerings during the afternoon. The close was 2G5 decline
