COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1G.-COTTON-1t
was day of hesitation and irresularlty
in the cotton market. The trade had TO
choose between firm cables. strong SOUTH
crn market news and q bullish statistical
situation. The markee. opened SteaG. III
tone. with prices unchanged to points
higher. After the call the near months
drew rapidly away from the later posi-.
tons on vigorous buying for continental
and local short accounts, supplemented
by fair support from New Orleans houses.
Prices advanced TO level of to l.
points over last nights closing for those
positions, and for a time indications
pointed TO return of bull supremacy.
The far months were neglected, and after
advancing few points sympathetlcally,
gradually eaSed off to level several
points below yesterdays final figures. At
midday business had dwindled to q scat
tering trade, while throughout most of
the afternoon the market was almost
speculatively fiat. Light protit-takinS
from time to time gradually wore away
the early gain in the near months. Bear
hammering, however, was totally lacking.
Private cables accounted for the advance
at Liverpool as the result of iirmnesS of
spot holders South and the bullish sta
tistical situation in Europe Official dis
port good demand, light offerings and
generally higher prices. The close was
barely steady ) points higher to 4 points

THE BRANCH POSTOFFICE.

The outlook for branch postoffice
IN West Scranton before the end of the
present year is exceedingly bright. AMI
that much-necded convenience will not
only facilitate the handling of all mail
matter for this part Of the city but
prove of incalculahle benefit to business
men and all others who have use for
the postal service.
The appropriations for maintaining
branch postoffices will not be made by
the government officials at Washing
