New YORK Cotton.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.--The cotton market
opened steady in tone with prices TO .
points lower and during the fore part OF the
session persistently resisted bearish influences,
Of which there a gOody number. The
chief depressing factor was the cables. These
gave a decline Of to So points in futures
and 1-32d. I'm spot cotton, when on our maj
cables OF yesterday, no change abroad was
due Moreover port receipts climbed several
thousands of bales over those OF same day
last year and private adyices from southern
spot markets We're hardly bullish OF late.
Smaller holders sold out on the call and some
short selling was INDUCED ia. But the bull
contingent made bold stand for reaction
with Wall street interests at the head Of this
movement. Three brokers, presumably acting
on orders for the same source, picked mp at
least II. 900 bales of May around the opening
tinued 10 buy freely later The English market
appeared in no mood to respond to our steadi-
ness, for late cables gave slim rallies, while
foreign orders to representatives here went to
the bear side as a general thing.
At noon the market was steady, but very
quiet The room contingent seemed to fear
liquidation OF big long interests under the
slightest further proVocation; commission
houses had little new business to offer for the
support of the market. A light estimate for to-
morrow's receipts checked selling Houston
expects 5000 to 900 bales. against 1924 bales
last week, and 1888 bales last year.
Spot cotton ruled quiet, with prices on the
basis of S4 for middling uplands and Sl2c for
middling gulf. -
Following were the ruling quotations In the
exchange today:

SUICIDE KR Deb Err
LEAVES FAMILY
HELPLESS
MAN WHO WAS FORMERLY WELL
KNOWN IN ATLANTA TAKES
HIS LIFE BY HANG
ING.

Paul Kroeber, a draughtsman in the ad-
jutants ONCE. L. S. A, in Omaha, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself in
Omaha last Sunday. Though no details
giving the causes leading up TO the trag-
edy have been obtained from Omaha, it is
thought that financial troubles led TO the
fatal step.
Kroeber formerly lived in Atlanta and
he leaves a wife and seven children here.
He was stationed here for several years
before he left Omaha about two years
ago. While here he was in the adJu-
tants office Of the department OF the
gulf, which was in the Austell building.
Mrs. KrOeber lives at y Houston street.
The body of the dead man was not
found until Monday, and IL was about
IL O'Clock before Mrs. Kroeber heard Of
her husbands tragic end. Kroeber left
a note giving instructions for his trunk
10 be sent to Atlanta. Mrs. Kroeber had
not heard from her husband in some time
and the money which she formerly re-
ceIved from him each month had failed
to come for several months. A letter
from a man. who signed himself. George
F. Abbott, was received yesterday by
Mrs. KrOeber. stating that Kroeber was
out OF employment and out Of money, and
that he owed him a small sum, which he
wanted Mrs. Kroeber to settle. The letter
was dated January 18th. which was Fri
day. Kroeber took his life Sunday night.
Kroeber was 43 years old and was born
in Germany. He enlisted in the govern
ment service % years ago at San Antonio,
Tex He was stationed in that city for
a number OF years and ii was here that he
married. Mrs. KrOeber has no means Of
support. The oldest child is only 10 years
old. He works for DR.. /. p. Stevens in
the Prudential building and he and his
little brother sing in the choir of St.
Luke's church. and in this way help to
support their mother and their more help
less brothers and sisters. Two of the lit
tie children are I'm the Home for the
Friendless.
