No DECIDED TENDENCY SHOWN.
New Orleans Cotton Market Was Quiet
Throuchout Yesterday.


New Orleans September THE market
for spot cotton was very quiet during the
short hours today. Neither factors nor
buyers seemed lncliI ed to move actively
and the volume of sales was therefore held
down to 40 bnles OF spots and $50 bales
to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
Only moderate amount of trading was
done during the short hours in the market
for contracts and but little disposition was
shown by operators for either account 10
push an advantage. Liverpool was rather
heavy and lower by $50 on spots and Asa
to 5.G4d for deliveries in resnonse to which
the market at the first call was : to 6
points lower Prices fuctuated during the
forenoon over range of 10 points
either way, hut without any time showing
very decided tendency and the closing,
by comparison with yesterdays figures,
stood at net losses Of but points on Sep
tember and October points on Noyem-
her and 8 points on each Of the other
months.

COTTON LOST BUT LITTLE.
New York Market Resisted Several Very
Rearsh Influences,

New York September THE market for
cotton futures opened weak with prices 8
TO 10 points lower under a squirt of local
and outside liquidation and temporary an
sence of buyers, due In part to the shock
received In the news from Buffalo and n
part to bearlsh Liverpool cables. The first
wave OF selling carried October to I. 6J
and January to 7.GS. But before 1890 the
market scored a complete change of front
and on a good demand from both sides
prices shot up several points with shorts
once more on the defensive, During the
rest of the day the market was irregular,
but not weak at any time, Trade was al
most entirely of professional type.
The market closed quiet and steady, net

There is one class Of people who don't
like chistmas presents. They get more
than anybody else. and the more they
get the more they dislike. It's the peo-
pie in the postal and express service.
The amount Of stuff that passes through
the mails and express cars the week be-
fore Christmas is beyond comprehension
and the employees have all and more
than the can do. Another thing that
adds greatly to their laborsis the fact
that half the stuff IS tied up and address
ed by people who don't know how TO
put up such things for rough transport
alton, and thk Is specially true Of the
mail service. Very valuable things are
often rolled up in pieces Of paper, fimsy

Judge Cowan out at Cando. last week
fined Attorney John Cockrane of Grand
Forks SIOO for contempt Of court, and
MIR. Cockrane spent several hours in the
custody ofthe sheriff, while his appeal to
the supreme court was made and bail
given. At this distance it is hard to de-
eide which is to blame, but there has
probably been no love lost between the
two since Judge Cowan made bitter
speech against Cockrane at the last state
convention at Grand Forks. The quar-
rel is likely to have its influence in next
years politics.
