"That silence Saved Me-"

There is a very suggestive incident re-
lated illustrating how at times silence may
hc greater power for good than any other
agency.
A young man sat chatting with some
Giddy girls. Among them was a sweet,
quiet young woman known as a Chris tlan.
The young man, thinking TO tease her, ban
tered her about her religion. The silly
remained silent. Then with the folly Of
youth and recicssness of implety he ut.
tered many inidcl objections to Christian
ity. She did not smile, nor look at him,
nor seem to notice him. Then he continued
his haranguc, hoping to force her TO rcfutc
something. But she maintained the same
sweet, dlgniicd silence. y vision of his
own stupidity broke over the young man
and convicted him of sim He said after.

1t seems a somewhat surprising
statement to make that eggs, con-

all used in the binding of books. Yet
such Is the case.
The white of egg is used for "slz-

The midweek half-holiday is already

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 29.-There was a re-
vulsion of speculative sentiment In the
stock market to-day and the move
ment to sell gathered force up to the
close, which was active and weak.
Generally speaking, yesterdays gains
were wiped out. The movement had
no other obvious cause than the de-
sire to take profits on the part of the
professional traders, who had bought
yesterday or earlier.
1t took only about half an hour of
trading after the opening to demon
strate that the slightly increased de-
mand attracted by Yesterdays ad-
vances was being so fully fed by profit
taking sales as to repress any tendency
to advance beyond small fractions.
The contingent of bear traders was
quick to take advantage of this situa-
ton, and to offer down prices, taking
the market away from the sellers. The
character of the whole market there
upon relapsed into the rat of dullness
and professionalism. The animation
of yesterdays late demand had aroused
strong hopes that the great banking
interests which control the large rail-
road systems were once more embarked
upon a movement to put up prices and
make market for syndicate holdings
of securities. The disappointment at
to-day's developments was correspond
ingly keen.
The speculation felt acutely the lack
of the stimulating effect of the recent
strength in Amagamated Copper. That
stock continued easily the leader of
the market in point of activity and
made an initial advance of a fraction.
When II seemed to be yielding, the
sympathetic effect upon the rest of the
market was immediate. The reason
for it's reaction was not disclosed Su-
gar showed the effect of disappoint-
ment over the failure to advance re-
fined sugar. and lost I%. The large
volume of trading in these two special
ties gave them large influence on the
market. The feeling in regard to the
outlook for peace In South Africa was
not so confident to-day A number OF
unfavorable reports of December net
earnings were a depressing influence.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 29.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, unchanged to 4
points higher, and then eased off sew
eral points quite sharply, after which
there was little change for the rest of
the day. The early advance was an
Indifferent response to firm Liverpool
and Manchester cables, and to light
estimates for the days port receipts.
New Orleans and Liverpool were fair
buyers in our market around the
opening, but later withdrew upon find
ing local sentiment rather bearishIy
disposed and speculative support tame.
Pretty much all day the market fol-
lowed an extremely narrow rut with
scalpers much of the time the only
operators. Bad weather was reported
officially over the entire belt either
rain or snow was falling, with the fore
cast indicating continued precipita-
tion tonight and tomorrow with un-
seasonably low temperatures. The
official estimates for to-morrow's New
Orleans and Houston receipts were
rather larger than expected, and helped
to weight down the afternoon market.
A small number of February notices
We're issued early in the day, but found
willing takers among spot cotton
houses, and therefore made no marked
impression on the market. The stub
born steadiness of Southern spot mar
kets acted as a restraint upon would
be short sellers, but failed to stimulate
new buying.
The market at the close was quiet,
net to points lower.

Murphy q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 29.-The advices from
the South were not numerous, but sew
eral accounts were at hand going to
show that the receipts would fall off
decidedly in the near future. 1t is true
we have had similar reports for weeks,
but those now sending the reports in
sist that the figures are sure to show
enough falling to help the market de-
cidedly. There was not much doing in
the early market. although prices were
2@4 points higher. Several towns ex-
pect small receipts and the total for
the day promised not to exceed 10000,
against $4,000 last year. Gables were
satisfactory and sellers were keeping
in the background. A party who is
sued crop estimate of 9460,000 some
time ago again appeared with a state
ment confirming his previous figures.
Buyers withdrew, and the market
turned dull and lower after the OPEN
ing. The market has been well sup
piled, despite the attempts to depress
on the heavy receipts, which certainly
have exceeded all expectations and
caused some bulls to withdraw from
that side, at the same time the bull
ranks present a bold front There is some
uncertainty as to who are behind the
big buying which appears from time to
time whenever the market looks weak
est. These parties, whoever they may
be, are promptly on hand to rally
prices. and the belief is that they are
composed of .so-called Wall street in
terests, who are in for a very long pull,
regardless of the extent of receipts.
The expectation is that within six
weeks the market will be largely infiu-
enced by the planting preparations, and
II is pretty generally believed that we
shall then hear more or less talk of
decreased acreage, which will influence
the market more than receipts.
