New York, Jan. 1S.-Speculation in cot
ton to-day was very small, but the tone
of the market was better because the
Liverpool market did not respond to our
decline of yesterday as the trade here
expected. Private cables stated that the
decline there yesterday was largely due
to manipulative selling orders from this
side and to the heavy Bombay movement
for the week, but q better feeling pre-
vailed to-day as consequence of improved
continental demand and belief in better
trade conditions in the near future. On
these advices our market started to z
points higher and ruled steady on that
basis most of the day. There was less
disposition among the bear element to sell
while traders seemed more inclined to
operate on the bull side in scalping the
market. Throughout the afternoon was
quiet and firm with buying predominant
ing The close was steady at net al
vance of to 10 points

LANCAsTER's OYSTER REPORT,

We are indebted to Chairman Fletcher
OF the Board of Fisheries for the annual
report, Oct LIST 1899 to 1900.
From the report we CLEAN the follow.
Ing figures relating to Laacaster's reye-
nue. from the oyster and fish business.
Reported BY Inspector Sanders 81 ,47e.oS
GRAY 944 46
=" =" Rogers 1881
Inspector Gray was the only one re-
porting anything from oyster tubs, and
Inspector Sanders the only one reporting
any fines.
On tongmen were reported: Sanders,
$4s9; Rogers. $s48; Gray, $272. On
planting ground: Sanders, $226 90; Gray,
$632.06; Rogers $145.S1.
The wide discrepancy In the reports
of planted area and Of tongmen licensed
leads us to believe there Is q mistake
somewhere. 1t is well-known that the
upper district has more acreage than the
others. and fewer tongmen but the middle
district has more Of both than the lower
district. or course the lower district
has more fishing and, In measure, this
accounts for the large total report above;
but the middle district Is supposed to re.
port more tongmen, more fines and more
acreage than the lower district, which ID
not the case.
