ENGLAND IS SUCCESSFUL.
Railroad Is Completed to Victoria Ny
 anza-Germany is Melancholy.

New York, December 23.--The fact tha the Unganda railroad has reached tn, Victoria Nyanza, says the Berlin core spondent of the London Times and the New York Times, provides the National Zeitung food for melancholy reflections It says Great Britain must again be con graduated on the completion of a col lossal undertaking, of which the political and commercial significance can hardly be over-estimated. This spectacle of British enterprise and success, says the National Zeitung, can not but arouse a feeling of humiliation on the part of the Germans when considering the situation in their own East African possessions. The construction of the German East Af- rican Central Railway proposed years ago, is a matter of vital importance to the futre prospects of the German pos sessions. It will be well, the paper says, if Germany realizes the precious oppor- tunities lost through the pettiness of short-sighted colonial politicians"

New York December 23-The cotton market opend steady with prices l point higher to points lower and for time was disposed to ease off additionally un- der exceptional large port receipts and disappointing cables. The weather condi- tions south were much more favorable for an unrestricted movement of the crop. But later developments proved the open ing figures to be the lowest of the day. Shorts sought cover in nervous way before the first hour had passed, being far from re-assured by the early bear ish influences. For the rest of the ses- sion the market slowly gained ground and all offerings by smaller holders for profits were eagerly snapped up by bears and Wall Street houses. Late news from Southern spot markets declared buyers were raising bids but even then were un- able to secure cotton in the amounts de- sired. The South, the West and New England spinners were buyers in small way during the afternoon when the mar ket stiffened up to the highest figures of the session July led the advance having the support of longs who had liquidat ed their January holdings to escape ''no- tices" which many operators believed would be issued at the first opportunity by local spot cotton houses who are bringing large amounts of cotton to New York The weather forecast said early in the afternoon that rains were likely over most of the belt tomorrow and this led to predictions for a smaller move ment At the close the market was very steady and net to points higher.
