Cotton Letter.

Brittin & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Co.,
 New Orleans, La., anuary 22.-Quiet markets were again the rule today. The death of England's Queen was officially announced while this event, having for several days been anticipated, is not likely to create any disorganizing effect, either in commercial or financial circles it is natur- ally disqmeting and tends to restrict new speculative engagements. For some days it is probable this influence will be felt in curtailing active operations.
 The dominating feature in making the meagre fluctuations continues to be crop movement. Port receipts today were 35 253 against 30,622 last year, so far showing in round figures 5000 bales gain for the three days of the current over last week, but a loss of 400O bales on corresponding days last year.
 It looks as though however, this weeks total movement will about keep pace with last year, when receipts were very full
 Southern spot markets are generally un- changed in price w,ss 1z7H demand. Quota cons in this market were reduced lis cent sales and 2000 bales including f. o. D.

cotton. Futures lost 1 to points in New York and here to points decline were registered.
 It is reported from interior points that a rather better demand is noted from the southern mils But there seems to be no disposition on the part of the mills any where to stock up, but rather to continue the hand to mouth policy of buying only for immediate wants. This certainly is the weakest feature of the cotton outlook.
 If the market would reach a point of decline at which mills would buy to stock up an anticipation of future requirements the situation would-immediately change for the better and we would not hesitate under such altered circumstances to advise hb- eral purchases.

COTTON MARKET 2
 ON THE DECLINE. A Day of Small SpecuIations and
 Single Lei Trades RALLIES NOT SUSTAINED Late in the Session the Market Broke Heavily Under the Announcement That Queen Victoria Was Dead.
 Closed With Net Loss.
RALLIES NOT SUSTAINED

New York, January 22-It was a day of small fluctuations and of single lot trades on the Cotton Exchange. The talent" was again in nominal control but lacked the courage of it's convictions and was therefore content to follow whatever course events dictiated
 The first factor which affected the mar ket was set of bullish early cables from Liverpool. Covering and scattered foreign buying gave the market here a steady opening and advanced prices 1 to 5 points. Then came a relapse under general selling started by much heavier receipts at the ports than expected. Toward noon the market once more swung around and ral- lied to about the opening figures on scare of room shorts, occasioned by rnmors that Southern markets were hardening on exporters demand and reports of heavy business at Fall River. Later the market broke heavily under the announcement that Queen Victoria was dead. Selling for both accounts became active for a time. Covering late in the day forced prices well up to the closing basis of last night and the market was finally steady at net loss of 1 to 6 points.

ACTION AT WASHINGTON
DEPARTMENTS WE'RE PREPARED
FOR THE SAD NEWS.
CabIegrams Immediately Sent Amer
lean Representatives Abroad
Notifying Them of the
Presidents Demise.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-When the
blow fell and official announcement came
that President Mckinley had passed
away at 2:15 o'clock, the crowds which
had been on the streets restlessly and
sorrowfuly awaiting news of the end had
retired for the night, as had all the gov
errnent officials save few clerks at the
state, war and navy departments. Sec
rotary Hay had given directions what
should be done, and Acting Chief Clerk
Martin and other employees, as soon as
they received official confirmation of the
news, Immediately sent cablegrams to
each and every United States ambassa-
dor and minister and charge, where
these were absent from their posts, noti-
flying them that President Mckinley died
at 2:15 o'clock this morning in Buffalo,
and instructing them so to inform the
governments to which they were accred-
tied. There were no details in the mes
sage-nothing but this brief announce
ment-and they were Identical in Ian
guage, except in the names of the per-
sons addressed. The ambassadors and
ministers were expected to communicate
the information in turn to the United
States consular officers within the limits
of their posts.
In cases of countries like Australia and
ment is not represented in a diplomatic
capacity, messages of like character were
sent to the United States consuls-general,
who were to repeat them to the consuls
The original message was signed by Sec
rotary Hay, Mr.. Babcock, his private Sec
rotary having taken 1t from the state
department to the secretary's home for
that purpose.
This was all the department of state
could do tonight. AS soon as possible it
will issue proclamation announcing the
presidents demise to the United States
and the world at large, and direct the
closing of the executive departments and
navy yards and army posts as a mark
of mourning. But this proclamation re-
quires the signature of President Roose-
welt, and it must be countersigned also
by Secretary Hay, formalities which may
consume some time, owing to the separa-
ton by distance of these officials, unless
it be arranged by telegraph, so that the
proclamation may be delayed day or
two. The clerks on duty at once notified
all their chiefs of the death.
Arrangements have been made by which
Secretary Hay will meet Acting Secretary
of War Gillespie and Acting Secretary
of the Navy Hackett in the state de-
partment in the morning for the pur-
pose of promulgating the necessary or
ders of the three departments. The or
der Of the war department has been pre-

pared already. 1t is drafted on lines
similar to that issued when President
CARRIED was stricken. 1t has been teIe-
graphed to Secretary Root for his ap-
prevail and may be issued in his name
The order is addressed to all divisions
and department commanders in 1Ao init
ed States, the Philippines, Cuba, Porto
Rico and Alaska and announced the death
of President Mckinley and directs that
all work be suspended for the day, all
hags to be at half-staff and that thir-
teen guns be fired in the morning and one
at intervals of half an hour and forty
five guns at sunset.
A similar order will be issued by the
navy department. 1t is also probable
that guard of honor, consisting of high
officers of the army and navy will be
named at once to escort the remains of
the dead president to Washington and
to the place of interment
The White house promptly sent the Of
hc1al announcement it had received of
the death to Secretaries Hay and Cage
the only cabinet members in town, and
also notified the commissioners of the
will be closed tomorrow and until after
the funeral at least
The White house flag will be lf-mast-
ed, but a comparatively recent act of
congress forbids draping public buildings
with emblems of mourning
1t is likely that President Roosevelt as
his first official act, will issue q procla-
nation announcing the death of the late
president. He will likely designate the
day of burial and appoint, it to be OBJ
served throughout the United States as a
day of mourning. He vii doubtless fol-
low the example of his predecessors in
the day of the funeral all people assem-
bic lin their respective places of divine
worship, there to render alike their frib-
ute of sorrowful submission to the will
of Almighty God and of reverence and
love for the memory and character of
our late chief magistrate

simply will not believe that he can die
from an assassin's bullet until I hear
That he has breathed his last. While
there's life there's hope"
Col Bryan arrived here from lincoln
Neb., at $50 p M over the Burlington
road and was driven at once to the Sher-
man house.
He was to have addressed a Demo-
cratic meeting tomorrow, but when he
heard the news from Buffalo, said he
would in all probability leave for Lincoln
tomorrow morning. While Col. Bryan
was talking his head was bowed and he
appeared to be greatly detected. Over
and over again he repeated the words:
l cannot believe his life is to end this
way. l have already spoken of the hor-
ror with which I regard the assassin's
crime. have already spoken of the high
personal esteem in which 1 hold Mr.. Nc
Kinley. In this moment of sorrow can
add nothing to either
Mr.. Bryan asked the Associated Press
reporter for the latest news from the
presidents bedside and added. ''In the
event of his death / shall have something
more to say"
Later, when the committee of the Car
ter HI. Harrison league, at whose picnic
Mr.. Bryan was to have spoken tomor-
row, announced that the demonstration
had been abandoned, Col. Bryan, in a
voice that shook with emotion, read the
following:
Z most cordially commend your action
IN abandoning the contemplated demons
stratlon. We are all oppressed by the

grief which has fallen upon the nation.

lowed up in VI vel sal sorrow
Political controVers- eS and the prizes
aud disappointments which attend them
in the presen~e of the tragedy VIII Oh
seems likely to rob the nation of the
chief executive. We all feel the hunlil-
iation that our country has suffered,
and our hearts are with the lovely wom-
an from whom foul and brutal assassin
alton is taking one of the most faithful
and tender of husbands. Whether the
hero.c struggle en- s fatally. as we now
fear, or in his restoration to health, as
we pray it will you ha, e ted wisely"
When Col Bryan ceased reading his
face was exceedingly grave. He was
shown the lat st Associated Press bull
let'n which he read carefully and with
tears stood in S eyes. In voice that
broke he indicated the bulletin wherein
the dying pres dent was sad to be muir
muring, Nearer, My God, to Thee and
said:
isn't that pitiful-isn't it too p tiful?"
g Gods will, not ours, be done, he
read in another bulletin giving the pres
again Mr. Bryan was deeply moved. He
made no comm n, but tears again Sprang
to his eyes He stood like enc looking
on the bier of a loved one, and the room
was hushed in funeral silence. 1t was
with a visible effort that the Demo cratic
and shook hands with the committee
members of which had been sympa ,hetic
spectators.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied by Mayor
Harrison to the Burlington depot, and at
1870 p. m. departed for Lincoln, Neb.
