New York, January 29.-The Commercials Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 The stock market here was idle today and steady. The American department was ac- tive. It began dull and weakened on early sales by cable from New York. Then on New York bidding, after the opening in Wall street, there was a rally, which fol- lowed the market here. Chicago and Mill waukee opened erratically, but for the most part the market was flat on the re- ceipt of fresh contradictions of the Hill deal.

opinion may be expected as the legitimate influences which operate to effect values.
 Spots in this market are quoted quiet at decline of 1-16c, sales 230O0 bales, including o. b. cotton. In other ports markets are generally quiet and at unchanged prices.
 Our New York correspondents this after noon wire some nervousness exhibited by shorts of March and May contracts in that market As an indication of this feeling in the nearer position March contracts show a gain there of about points, while the more distant months show a loss of about that number of points.
 Speculation continues very limited and the larger share of business for past sev- eral days has been to even up old engage mentS.
 We look for more active markets after the weeks close and continue to think well of buying on weak periods for a quick turn.

DULL DAY ON THE t
 COTTON EXCHANGE All Traders Were Suspicious
 Throughout the SesSioa MANY SENSATIONAL RUMORS Conflicting Reports Concerning the Pur- pose of the Bull Clique - Lacked
 Substantial Backing But Kept
 Market in State of Unrest.
MANY SENSATIONAL RUMORS

New York. January 29.-It was not a lively day on the Cotton Exchange nor were there sensational developments in cotton with the January deal. Traders were suspicious throughout the session and slow to take on new responsibilities while the January manipulation was in progress. The speculative public settled accounts and withdrew. There were all sorts of sensa- tional and conflicting rumors in circulation concerning the purpose of the bull clique, but these lacked substantial backing and failed to more than keep the market in a fever of unrest and uncertainty. On the first call the feeling was about steady with the general list unchanged 10 two points higher, while January, after opening at an advance of 20 points, scored an addi- tional bulge of 40 points on the initial call Soon after jump to H. occurred. but later there was a reaction to Il 50 under proht taking by the local longs. By noon another squirt of covering had advanced that option to 11.95, around which it clug until the last hour The late months were hstless and stuck tenaciously to about the closing figures of yesterday
 Any notable advance invariably brought out long stuff, while any decline in price
 
 south was a fair summer month buyer W all street covered near months and went long on the July and August positions. The caples rom Liverpool were about as eX- pected. Receipts considerably overtopped general opinions and led to some nervous nesss on the part of holders in the morn- Ing. But estimates for much smaller re- ceipts tomorrow dispelled this unasiness in the afternoon.
 Export shipments of cotton to New York reached 666 bales, steamer arrivals in the 1mmediatel future were estimated at about 1S,O00 bales. It was reported that several thousand bales had been taken from a New York steamer about to sail for Liverpool the owner being able to secure a very hand some profit by selling to parties here at the prevailing abnormal prices. At the close the local market was barely steady with prices, net 80 points higher on Janu- ary to points higher to points lower on other months.

- Fl N V TgEfEI Murphy 6 on .... Stock Letter.

New York; January 29-The main inllu- ence in the market at the opening was ap- parent disappointment generally at the ab- sence of any of the expected developments in relation to the control of St. Paul, and on that account the market was sharply depressed during the early dealings, and as has been the case for the past fortnight, the tendency effective regarding the general railway list
 The most conspicuous exception to the course of prices was Southern Pacific which scored further sharp advance on large dealings based apparently on the prospects of the passage of the ship subsidy bill. Rumors were current that the Southern Railway had secured control of the Mobile and Ohio, and the latter stock was active and strong. It looked, however, as if the buying came from some speculative crowd. There was good scattered buying of Union Pacific based on excellent earnings. Sugar was fairly hard and more active on buying for lower Wall street.

An Important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court rem
dered a decision on April y in the suit
of w. P. Smith against the st. Louis
Southwestern railway, involving the right
of one State to quarantine against an
other. The plaintiff shipped a carload of
cattle over the road from Plaindealing,
La, to Fort Worth Tex, the officials of
the road being unaware that Il quarantine
had been established by the State of Tex
as. When the existence of this restriction
became known tfle railroad company re-
fused to deliver the stock to the con-
sgnee and reshipped them to Plaindeal-
Ing. There Smith refused to receive them,
as he also did the proceeds of their sale.
Smith then brought suit for damages,
contending that the regulations were an
interference with the interstate COM
merce and unjustified by the facts. The
trial court sustained this regulation, but
the State Court of Appeals reversed the
decision, holding in favor of the railroad
company. The United : States Supreme
Court affirmed the latter decision hold
ing that the State of Texas had a right,
under its police power to protect itself
against infections disease, even though
commerce may be incidentally interfered
with by the regulations for such protec-
ton. Justices Harlan, White and Brown
filed dissenting opinions.
