 NEW YORK, Jan, 3o.-The cotton market opened steady 2 points higher and for the restof the hour barely changed 1 point Bus!- ness was extremely narrow and the maI ket without special feature of interest An offset to rather large port receipts the Live p ol cables were a shade better than expected, hav- ing recovered i12 points before our market opened The shorts were not inclined to place any particular confidence in a sharp drop in intesfor receipts, were the bulls in mood to Attempt using the decrease there noted in View, of the fact that for three days an unusually severe rain and sleet storm has ragged over practically the entire belt Belief that strong bull interest with headquarters in Wall Street stood ready to support the market on any drop to g. 10 for May and that prominent spot cotton interests of New York and Philadelphia were prepared to sell freely on every advance to 8. 20 for that option served to check prospective investors from re-enter- ing the markets for the present. The official reports from Southern spot markets was with out feature and private information from the belt was without new phase In fact the whole stuation for the time seemed to be a stand off with scalpers even reluctant to make a positive stand on either side. A slight furry of, the general buying started toward mid day when Houston issued very small esti- mate for tomorrew's receipts, but at noon New Orleans sent out estimate which fully oh- set the effect of the Houston figures.

 NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 3o.-As Liverpool was about expected market opened un- changed improved 4G5 points subsequently on small Houston estimate and lighter interior movement for the day. The large port receipts free New Orleans estimate and easiness of spots caused break later making the closing unchanged to l point higher on the day The cold and indictment weather generally preVa- lent throughout the belt may check the move ment temporarily but it is doubtful whether any material advance will be established con- sidering the lack of export demand and the weakness of spots. Liverpool cables today say that trade is unsatisfactory with no prospects for an early improvement and that stocks of yarns are increasing. Sentiment, while still bullsh, shows an absence of enthusiasm, as the decided decrease in receipts anticipated for eight weeks has failed to materialize It is expected. however, that the recent bad weather will r9tard receipts to such an extent as to occasion enhancement in values. While this may be realized the anxiety of spot holaers to sell as well as adviGes from many points in the interior respecting large amounts held plantation might offset any temporary fall ing of in receipts. considering the unfavor- able Europe and textile trade situation.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company is making satisfactory progress in its extensive and costly inn provements.
 The tracks on Twenty-frst Street be- tween Second and Sixth Avenues have Heavy cross-ties and rock ballast have been used and the rails have been rivet- ed in the most substantial manner: ., seventy-pound rails are being laid on East Lake is being pushed to the end of the road. When that section Is complet- ed the track layers will work from East Lake. towards Birmingham.
 Work of reconstructing the Bessemer line is progressing rapidly. It is to be double-tracked from this city to the Fair Grounds, nearly four miles. single track, it is thought. will be adequate from the Fair Grounds to Bessemer for the present, but eventually the entire line will be double track. General Manager whether he will carry the single track work to Bessemer before beginning on the second track at this end Seventy pound rails are being used. Trolley cars will replace the dummy and the change will be made some time next summer.
 Mir. Davis had eXpected twenty new cars from St. Louis several weeks ago but delays in car shops being the rule they were not here on time. The build CTS now promise to deliver eleven of these cars by the first of February and the other nine little later. The new cars are to be f2 feet long and while they will not have quite the seating capacity of those on the Enslcy line they will be the best in point of mechanical detail ever turned out in the t'nited States.
 The Railway. Light and Power Com pany Is cxpending $15000OO on better ments. Not only is 1t putting it's street car system in first class condition but it's electric plant is to be doubled in capac- itv and its gas plant extended and mod ernized.

R. M. Scale & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. So.-The cotton mar ket was practically nfeless today. There was practically no change in prices in Liverpool tive from that quarter. though private cables again called attention to the dulness of trade and the unpromising outlook for immediate improvement in prices.
 Wire communication was greatly interrupted in this country by the prevalence of severe weather generally, and speculation for outside account was accordingly restricted that the days transactions were exceedingly limited and the changes in quotations were unimpor- tant.
 Closing figures 2 points lower to | point higher than yesterday.
 Reports of unsatisfactory trade abroad are evidently being taken more seriously into con sideratiop and the easier tendency of spots Is doubtless accepted rehecting such condi- tion though without regard for future pros pects spot holders have been persistent sellers almost without intermission throughout this season.
 Concerning the movement. both sides are stn patiently waiting to see if the expected failing of will occur. In the meantime, how ever. one may readily perceive that bears arc becoming more confident of their position ow- ing to the nature of developments, while some less resolute bulls inclined to grow weary of the long wait for the advance in prices that had been looked for.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 3o.-Indications of AZ, 900 receipts at the ports today, against 33, 900 last year, proved an obstacle to any improve ment in the market. which opened dull and unchanged, and showed little change there after. There more less complaints from the South regarding the recent cold wave, Little Rock especially being visited by sharp blizzard will undoubtedly Ietard the move ment of cotton in that section. Other sections have also suffered in less degree and the expectation that interior movement for the week will prove a good deal lighter than other wise Final cables showed no change in prices. Trade conditions appear so good that the pres ent prices for raw material are regarded as reasonable TheTeceipts at the ports this week have been decidedly disappointing. Early in the week bulls were hopeful because of the fact that we would be comparing with quite heavy figures last year. As the week ad vanced 1t appeared that cotton was coming out quite freely and approach the close of the week. there is reason for believing that the ports may show a movement fully equal to last year, which was f9l 900.
 It is useless to offer further explanations of this heavy movement It is needless to say 1t has occasioned no little disappointment, but the fact remains that exports are remarkably heavy and that Liverpool. where the market is usually influenced by the heavy receipts. is apparently taking the view that no matter how big the crop. prices are not to be attacked under present conditions.
