MUCH CONFUSION
 IN STOCK MARKET Large Amount of Speculative li- quidation Accomplished SELLING MOVEMENT IS OVER Showed Symptoms of Having Expended Itself During the Course of the Day
 and the Bulls Quickly Be-
 came Aggressive.

New York, January 14.-The currents in today's stock market were exceedingly confusing and irregular and the contest between speculative forces was by no means conclusive. There was a very large amount of speculative liquidation accom- plished and there were periods of acute and general weakness. Some of the re- gently prominent stocks suffered material set-backs. On the other hand there were stocks whose strength were constant in varying degrees during and throughout the session.
 The selling movement showed symptoms of having largely expended itself during the course of the day and there were signs of renewed responsiveness on the part of the bull interests and the market rallied throughout from the midday low level New stocks came into the leadership and there were indications with personality of the leaders in the speculation had also un- dergone some change. The brokers who were tn largest sellers in the railroad list Were very heavy buyers of some or the steel stocks and 1t was evident that an at tempt was to be made to conduct double campaign In the bear market side in some of the railroads and on the bull side of the steel stocks. The market closed in fact with some notable advances scored in the steel group and with renewed weakness among the railroads and specialties, some of the latter two classes selling to the low est on the last sale. There were points of strength during the day in the railroad list and among them quite a number of stocks not usually conspicuous in the trad ing.
 No admissions could be secured from in- ternational banking houses of any con- templated arrangements to ship gold, but with sterling exchange continuing to ad- vance reserves of money rapidly increas- ing at this centre and continued uneasiness over the future in London tn conviction is geeral that considerable sum of money will go out and that the movement will be inaugurated on Wednesday. There is no fear that any scarcity of money will result here, but the movement creates some inc vitable disquiet among over-eXtended spec ulative interest.
 The railroad bond market was weak in sympathy with stock. Total sales par value, $2 2S50,000. U. S. bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

Cotton Letter.

A. Brittin's Cotton Letter, by Private Wire,
 to Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, La, January 14-The early morning Liverpool cables reported the Wilson crop estimates as the incentive which provoked the decline of 4-64d to 5-64d in that market and which marked the clos ing there compared with Saturdays quo- tations. Continued liquidation of long cot ton was the dominant feature with us, and under this influence with very limited de- mand for fresh buying the pressure was too great to resist the downward tendency un- til prices had reached the lowest of the day, at which the market closed.
 Reports were circulated that a large amount of low-grade cotton had been bought in the interior and was heading for New York for delivery on January con tracts, and the prediction made that the manipulation of the current month would be overthrown All these circumstances added to the Encouragement of holders, and weak longs continued to liquidate up to the final hour. No doubt the recent decline a considerable short interest has been ere ated and will be added to as the market drops to lower plane. But whether the crop reaches the extreme estimates in the final outturn is few hundred thousand bales less there will certainly remain at the seasons close a very limited stock and if any large short interest accumulates a natural corner is likely to be the ultimate outcome.
 We therefore regard selling for the short account of the present crop accompanied with exceptional danger. Within the next two months as usual at corresponding sea- sons much will be said and written about increased acreage, but 1t will be well to re- member that no very important increase can occur any season and that crops depend mostly upon the weather conditions.
 If the market reaches apoint where a good demand for spot cotton arises pur- chases will again be in order for a fair chance of good profit.

Liverpool were much poorer than expected and caused this market to open lower. Re- ceipts were estimated at 25,0O bales today against 45,500 last week and 25,Ooo TOT the same day year ago. We hear of about 20 900 bales en route from Texas for selling against January contracts. Our New fork correspondent wires Liverpool the Manches- ter has done good business. Our market feels the influence of unusual dullness on this side, particularly for spots and cotton goods also; the chances of our stocks being increased reduces chances for manipulation. Estimated receipts, 25, 900 against 25,00O last year; New Orleans tomorrow, 13,OOO against Il OOO; Houston, 5000 against 64O0.

ACTIVE SELLING IN COTTON MARKET Futures at Close Were Several
 Points Lower SOUTH ON THE BULL SIDE English Cables Were the Cause of the Decline, Having Reflected Weak Situation in Liverpool-The
 Demand for Spot.
SOUTH ON THE BULL SIDE

New York, January 1.-The cotton mar ket opened easy with prices to points lower. This loss was increased to a matter of 10@12 points by active selling from all directions, led by tired holders. The En- glish cables were the cause of the decline and selling here, having reflected weak situation in Liverpool, where both depart ments had suffered from liquidation. The basis of the business abroad was large eff offerings by nervous spot holders and big crop estimate issued here Saturday. Liverpool continued weak to the close and sold from time to time here New Orleans and the South generally worked on the bull side Receipts at the-poGts and interior towns fell considerably short of estimates, with all indications pointing to, continued light arrivals. Demand for desirable grades spot cotton was reported active for export and domestic mill uses Fresh liq- uidation carried prices to the low point of the day at the close. The market was finally easy with prices net 10 to II points lowes.

inEs.

Andrew Carnegie and Hills g. Gospel of
wealth" was the subject of the sermon
preached by Dr. Alexander aMcGSregOrgSff
the Park Congregational church, yester-
day - '"r'y'e 'a'979 'l
1t was not because Of Andrew ar
negle's wealth nor his success in bust
ness, but because of his conception of
rich mans duty to the public as shown
in his recent book, The Gosre of
Wealth. that caused him to make TIE
statement, That it is a disgrace for a
man to die rich said Dr. McGregor.
In the little town of Dunferham. in
Scotland, father mother and two chill
dren lived. The father owned four dam
ask looms, but had lost his trade
through the introduction of machinery.
They decided to emigrate to America for
their boys sake. Fifty-tWo years from
that time one of these boys Andrew. min
commemoration of that event, presented
0,000. for, the ma ntenance of nbrarf 8
In different parts of Glasgow His latest
gifts of $10,000,000 to the greatest univer-
sites of Scotland have made possible
the free education of many thousand of
Scotland's sons and daughters.
While telegraph operator in Pitts
burg Col. Anderson had advertised that
working boys might have the books from
his private library to read free But An
drew Carnegie was refused the privilege
at first by Col. Anderson because he held
that a telegraph operator was not a
working boy. Carnegie, not to be de-
feated, wrote a newspaper article hold
ing anybody who worked with his hands
and brains was entitled to be called
working boy. Then he vowed that if he
was ever able he would establish free
libraries. This he has done in eleven
cities in Scotland and a great many cities
in the United States
The following extract from Mr.. Car
negies book Dr. McGregor commended
in the warmest terms, saying that 10
expression could deserve greater respect
or display more wisdom
This, then, is held to be the duty Of
the man of wealth. to set an example
of modest living, stunning display or eX-
travagance, to provide moderately for
the legitimate wants of those dependent
on him; after doing so, to consider all
revenues which come to him simply as
trust funds, which he is called upon to
administer in the manner which, in his
Judgment, is best calculated to produce
the most beneficial results for the COM
munity."

john Hole-in-the-Day, a half-breed
Indian who claims the distinction of be-
ing a son Of the we'll known chief whose
name he bears, was arrested late Satur-
day night on the charge of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. Young
Hole-in-tneDay has lived in the Twin
Cities off and on for some years, and the
reputation given him by the police is not
such as to reflect credit upon his il
lustrious family.
According to the story of Officer Ma
roney, who arrested him on Saturday
night, Hole-in-tneDay filed up during
the evening with Seventh street tirewa-
ter and toward the early morning hours
proceeded to puncture a few holes in
the night with discordant war whoops
He finally went to a restaurant on low
er Seventh street and demanded food,
but the attendants told him that before
they would serve it he would have to
SNOW them" for they rightly conJect-
ured that he had no money Tnis
angered the young brave and he was
about to wreck the restaurant when the
officer took MIN in charge,
