COTTON.
New York, Feb. 6.--The cotton market
reacted today and the most confident
bears of yesterday we're the most ur-
gent buyers today, while frightened hold
ers yesterday were the chief supporters
Of the market all through the session.
The cables were slightly better, but spec
ulative support was lacking, and senti-
ment on the opening was very much
mixed. Receipts continued light, but this
factor had been discounted, as had q
hullsh ruling of statistics in the main.
The market opened steady with prices two
points higher to one point lower. The
initial figures proved to be about the
lowest of the day, as a squirt of general
buying led by pit shorts carried values
UP five TO seven points above yesterdays
closing, after which there was no striking
reaction Rumors that Southern spot
holders we're demanding better prices and
that the cotton now held in New York
warehouses would probably be gradually
absorbed by export interests and North
orn spinners had a reassuring effect on
bulls. Trading was inclined to drag much
of the session and still appeared to con-
sist chiefly of professional interchanges.
New Orleans and certain Wall Street
interests. however. were seen to be buy
ing on all the easier points At the close
the market was quiet and steady. with
prices net two to nine points higher.

The executive board of the National Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs is in session in
the red parlor at the Arlington. The mat
ters under consideration are largely rou-
tine, hearing reports of the various officers
on routine work and discussing plans for
expanding their work.
Discussion of the next place of meeting
of the biennial convention is the principal
subject of interest. Boston, Los Angeles
and Atlantic City are all clamoring for
this big gathering. Los Angeles is pressing
her advantage and there seems to be
slight disposition to favor that city.
Plans for the program for the biennial
session are also being discussed.

INCREASE IN SINESS.
ComparisOn of Present Conditions
and Those Four Yenrs Ago.

An increase in the business of the citv Is
demonstrated in a number of ways, and
the growing Importance of Washington
commercially Is recognized by all who have
given the subject any attention. One of
the substantial grounds for believing that
ths business interests of the city are ex-
pandng il the large amount of money en-
p'oyed through the agency OF the local ma
tlonal banks and loan companies. The re-
ports of the condition of the eleven ma
t.onal banks and four trust companies az
the close of business the 9TH instant have
just beer compiled in the office of the con
troller Of the currency. According to this
consolidated statement the loan and dis
counts amount to s23, ,2O6, IO1, while the in
diyidual deposits aggregate $50. 72S, ,4S4. The
surplus fund amounts to $2,217, 800 and the
capital stock paid In is s7.377 900.
The increase In the deposits placed in
these institutions has been a steady one
during the past decade. 50 that it may be
said the local financial conditions have
been almost entirely transformed. Institu-
tions that never before In their history had
attained the mlllion-dollar mark in the de-
posiIs have now passed Ii, and in some in
stances have gained the 100000 mark.
The largest line Of deposits in banks and
trust companies Is no longer limited by a
million or two millions of dollars, but in
several instances surpass the last named
figure. The change in this respect became
noticeable In the year 1892. and the pro-
BreSS toward more extended usefulness has
been a steady one ever since.
Four years ago. in the spring of 1897, the
. loans and discounts of the national banks
and trust companies Zone of the latter hav-
ing been organized since that date)
amounted to $14,35S, T95 while the deposits
ran up 70 $50. 5.SS6. The surplus fund was
