Other very strong stocks at the opening were Northern Pacific, common; Canadian Southern, Rock Is- land and St. Paul The traction shares opened exceedingly strong with Manhat- tan the feature Reports were current that the road was to be leased by the New York Central Railroad on a guaran- tee dividend basis of per cent, notwith- standing the absence of any confirmation of these reports. the stock was actively absorbed very heavy dealings. After the initial dealings the anthracite coal stocks developed greater steadiness, with the Erie issues In the lead. The London market for American stocks showed ir- regular changes, but a firm undertone was reported present in the dealings there. Foreign houses dealt quite heavy with orders on both sides. The most inn portant news over Sunday bearing on particular stocks was the announcement of the new stocks issue of the Great Northen Railroad and of the acquisition of the so-called Rockerfeller properties in Minnesota In the interest of the United States Steel Corporation.

COTTON { MARKET
 WAS UAvlfTLED Opened Easy at Decline of Six
 to Eleven Points, THE CABLES DISAPPOINTING
There Was Slight Improvement for a Short Time, But Renewed Liquida- tion Followed Adverse Reports
 From Spinning Districts.

New York March 1.-The cotton mar ket today was very unsettled. The weak English cables showing decline of PIE to 6M points were disappointing. Our market opened easy at decline of to Il points under these advices and further declined to 6 points under heavy re- ceipts. Foreign selling was a feature all along the line to October. At one time cables showed a slight improvement and our market was inclined to respond, but renewed liquidation followed adverse re- ports from spinning districts.
 Talk of reduced production at Fall Riv- CT, the selling committee having present. ed a recommendation for that purpose, which is reported to have been signed by the representatives of numerous mills, with the movement involving 2,O00,0OC spindles increased local caution. The concerted movement at Fall River was thought likely to be attended by corre- spending action on the part of mills in the South and New England. This ten dency and large receipts renewed the weak undertone to room sentiment, all though there was some buying on the re- action theory upon the assumption that tho entire future list had become over- sold. But covering was the principal support of the market. The market was steady at net decline of 9 to 12 points.

Financial.

New York, March 1S.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 There was very little doing here in the stock market today, but much calmer view was taken of the threatened con- f1ict between the Russian troops and ours in China, and prices were firm.
 The American department was the most active in the market. Throughout the whole sessions stocks were very strong, mainly, however, on professional trading. Louisville and Nashville was the favor ite under the inspiration of influential orders cabled over from New York. Coal stocks were in demand in spite of the miners threat to strike, but they relapsed after the close in the street trading. Paris sold Tintos in great quartity. but London bears covered on the publication of the fortnightly statistics which show a decrease of 1858 tons in stocks, 1733 in supplies.

close showed a loss of 6-64ths on the near and ? to on the fall months.
 The local market on the opening call recorded loss of to 10 points and sub sequently declined till May contracts sold at S13 from which a reaction of points brought the closing to net loss of IS points for the day. Spot cotton Was free ly offered from the interior and especial ly from Texas, with urgent sellers at a sharp decline. The reports from Fall River indicating concerted movement to curtail production increased the preva- lent weakness in the contract market for futres. Trade in cotton goods is still reported far from satisfactory and the talk of reduced production is likely to materialize. Liquidations of longs was again a feature of the day There was no pressure of selling, shorts were rather inclined to buy and aided in the effort, to stimulate a reaction. Port receipts continue on a liberal scale. Local spots are quoted easy and 1sc lower.
 While reactions are quite to be expected tendency looks still lower.

 New Orleans, March 1S.-A surpris { break in Liverpool greeted the trade at the early opening. Private cables said the weight of\ cotton offered from the South was the leading factor in the un- settled situation of that market. Other cables attributed the break partially to the political complications with Russia relating to the China situation. We do not attach much importance to this latter consideration, as any rupture between England and Russia is not likely in the settlement of the Chinese affair The English market opened with Mc decline on spots and about 4-64ths on near months. and one to two on distant posi- tions With continuing weakness the

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Or e1ns, March 1S.-Cotton opened quiet and weak this morning, owing to the heavy drop in prices for spots and contracts at Liverpool and the consequent sharp break In prices for contracts on this side and became free offers of all save the higher grades, at prices ranging a full 1s below Saturdays figures. The high CT grades, being very much in demand and relatively scarce, were naturally held with a greater degree of firmness than were the poorer grades, but even they suffered from the general downward swep. Buyers were out in goodly num- bers, but they also were carried off their feet by the sudden slump in prices, and though able to trade readily at 5s below previously quoted prices, held off for fur ther reductions; some of them even seek ing the full A decline superfcially war ranted by the loss on the other side. This policy, however, was not conducive to free trading for factors were not quite prepared to go the full length of buyers s demands, and the result was that sales were restricted to 1850 bales including 150 to arrive. The Cotton Exchange reduced quotations on spot cotton b on all grades.
 The first calls showed losses of to Il points at New York and to Il points To- cally After the call, however there was a rush of shorts to cover in profits, and the result was that beyond a range of fluctuations covering only to points, prices were well maintained at about the opening level, but. later sold off again, finally closing Il to 15 points lower than on Saturday.

SOME OBSTACLES
Which Stand in the Way of Temper
ance Work.

New York, Oct 31.-A dispatch to the
London Times and the New York
Times from Berlin says the Society for
Combating the Abuse of SpirituouS
Liquors has begun a conference at
Breslau.
Baron Won Diergardt said at the con-
ference he believed that alcohol would
one day be universally regarded as an
enemy of civilization, but at present
1T was only possible to recommend
moderation in its use. Seven hundred
and fifty millions of dollars was yearly
spent in Intoxicating liquors 1t was
estimated that the average German
consumed the equivalent of five glasses
of spirits a day.
Baron Won Diergardt added that one
difficulty in the campaign was that the
state itself was interested in alcohol,
deriving, as it did, a revenue of SAL,
100000 from spirits and S25,000,0 900 from
beer. One-third of the German exports
to Tologland and one-seventh of those
to East Africa consisted of alcohol
