(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 5.--The week closes
uniformly dull, business in all depart
ments being light in volume. There is
no change in tone in either cotton or
woolen piece goods nor any quotable
alteration in prices. Cotton yarns are
still inactive and weak for weaving
kinds but there has been more doing in
hosiery yarns. Woolen and worsted
yarns dull and unchanged.
COTTON.
New York, Jan. 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an andvance of
from four to ten points and Immediate
ly became very firm on stampede of
the bear forces for cover and an influx
of buying orders from the South, the
West, Wall Street and Europe. Sell
erS were scarce and the whole fibre OF
the market seemed to have swung
around to a solid bull affair. A fur
ther rise in stocks in Wall Street help
ed in an indirect way to enthuse the
bull contingent. The primary influence
of bullish significance was q rise of
four and half to five points in futures
and one sixteenth of a penny in spot
cotton in the Liverpool market, or de-
cidedly more than expected. Supple
mentary factors of support were re-
ports from the South that exporters
and Northern spinners were paying
an eighth Of a cent higher prices for
desirable grades of spot cotton that
the movement on every side showed

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 5.-Speculators jumped
into the stock market this morning and
put prices into a state of violent effer-
vescence. They quickly skinned the
froth at the top level of prices to take
profits and attracted so large following
to the selling side that the sensational
opening gains were mostly wiped out be-
fore the close and in all cases greatly
reduced. After day of violent excite
ment at exceedingly wide fluctuations the
market was decidedly easy in tone at the
close, and at a level generally below last
night. There were some important ex-
ceptions and there were a number of
spasmodic rallies Of weak stocks on COW
ering by shorts. 1t was a speculator's S day
pure and simple, and whatever substantial
considerations may have been behind buy
ing demand were almost completely lost
sight of in a frenzy. of speculative excite
ment No story was too wild or improba-
bic to gain ready credence. The growth
of the conviction that Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul is to pass to the control OF
the Northern Trans Continental Lines
has made the speculative mind open tc
almost anything in the way of rumors
regarding railroad combinations. Capital
lists who have been influential in the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul deal are
supposed to have additional reaching
plans. These supposed plans were made
the basis of today's extraordinary move
ment. The authorized announcement be-
fore the close that ]. P. Morgan and Com

Railroad of New Jersey in the interest OF
