TIMID TRADERS IN
 THE COTTON MARKET Pit Operations Were Extremely Cautious During Session PRICES HIGHER AT CLOSE Price Movement Was Much Wider Than in Ordinary Traders Market,
 But the Net Result Was
 About the Same. s
PRICES HIGHER AT CLOSE

New York, January 2S-The timidity of the local cotton trade was increased today by the lack of news or business from Eng tious from the very opening, and repeated land. Pit operators were extremely eau ly nasty retreats were made when occas- ion offered. On the opening the feeling was steady, with prices unchanged to 2 points higher. The stability was of short duration, however, liquidation soon set in under reports that 5000 bales, January notices, were being freely circulated, and under heavier port receipts.
 Considerable weakness developed before sufficient trade was enticed in by the de-' cline to arrest the downward tendency But toward midday a partial rally occurred on covering, and some buying for reac- spot markets were stiffening good ex- port demand Soon after midday prices advanced to a level several points above the close of yesterday on a momentary scare of shorts due to assurances that every bale of January cotton for which mo- tices had been put out in the morning had been readily taken up by several of the strongest houses in the trade.
 The fear that Liverpool might open up higher in the morning also prompted GOV ering. There was sharp bulge in the last hour on urgent demand from a leading local export house with Philadelphia and Boston cottons. The close of the market was steady from to points higher.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)
says: ut is not probable that Isador
Rayner expected to set an example
for other lawyers when he charged no
fee in the Schley case. This was a
case among thousand, and while the
other lawyers of the country will con-
tinue to charge for their services the
legal profession generally will be
proud of Mr.. Rayner's act. There is a
great deal more in 1t than the mere
saving of money for the admiral. 1t
adds to the patriotism and dignity Of
his defense, and is in line with the
generous feelings of the American peo-
pie toward him."
The Baltimore Sun (Dem) says:
1.-THE property assessments for Savan-
nah. just completed, foot up $3S, $50, $751;
an increase of $1,252,97S This increase
does not mean necessarily that there
will be decrease in the rate of taxa
ton. 1t is understood the Council
will fix the same rate as at present in
order to provide for more improve
ments, particularly street paving. Sa-
vannah is one of the most prosperous
cities in the South. While II has never
experienced BOOM its growth has
been steady in business and popula-
ton. Its prospects were never bright
er than at present"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: "The Labor Congress in ses-
sion at Scranton has arrived at the
usual compromising solution of the
race question. II has organized a
Negro Central Union in Richmond
Va, in which colored members may
flock by themselves. A question Of
more difficulty will arise when the
lines are to be drawn between the
races In the actual field OF labor"
The New orleans Picayune Dem.)
says of the new Pauncefote
treaty: 1.-THE treaty provides that IL
must be ratified by the Senate and by
the British government within six
months This affords ample time for
debete; but Il Is difficult 10 see what
there Is to debate as the new Treaty
Is practical acquiescence ia all our
demands"

sadly murmured an exceedingly come

World, as she swept through the
green baize door in a LAWYERS office
In the Pulitzer building a day or two
ago.
This is not hairdressing establish

learning the intricacies of the law, as
the young woman removed her sables

The fair visitor was at once recog-
nized as Gertrude Mansfield, who. with
Caryl Wilbur, forms a sketch team at
the vaudeville houses at the modest
salary OF $3.50 week. Their sketch
is called "A Bird and a Bottle" and
as the pretty young woman narrated
her tale of woe to William Grossman
of the law firm of House, Grossman &
Vorhaus, she tearfully remarked that
hers was truly a case where the bird
was caught by a bottle.
Mr.. Grossman asked one of his
young women stenographers for a pair

Is responsible for the present emerald
hue of her hair, which originally was
chestnut-brown.
Miss Mansfield says that a week or
so ago she was bordering over the
problem of cleansing her hair, when a
woman friend commended to her the
use of a hair tonic.
Where do you get it?" asked Miss
Mansfield.
"Oh, any old place." answered her
friend, but l happen to have two
bottles on hand and shall be glad TO
present them to you"
Miss Mansfield accepted the gift.

the directions to rub the mixture well
into her scalp. There was no visible
change in the color or texture of her
hair until she arose on Saturday morn
ing. She pulled up the shades of her
boudoir windows and with pardonable
feminine vanity looked at herself in
the mirror.
There was a gasp, scream and a

faint. Then they alternately screamed
and laughed, for the cause of Miss
Manstield's plight was easily discern
ible-her hair was bright olive green,
save for patch on the top of her
head. When she recovered conscious
ness she took a second look in the
mirror and then went into Mysteries.
Being of a practical turn of mind. at
the earliest opportunity she journeyed
downtown and instructed Mr.. Gross
man to bring a suit in her behalf.
The necessary legal papers were
completed yesterday and placed in the
hands of a process-server.
Miss Mansfield has been filing an
engagement at an uptown theater dur
ing the week, and she says she has
been compelled to wear a wig for the
first time in her stage career.
