South contend that stocks at planters and gins have been overestimated.
 In Liverpool there was a decline of ? to 3 points today New York was a tame affair with more or less liquidation by Southern longs on too clear weather South and fear of continued free receipts at noon, prices showed points off. The fact that receipts started heavy for the week gives no little concern to the small waisted bulls and 1t is again a question whether the market will fall into rut So far as prices yielding that is not proba- ble to say any serious extent. For sixty days receipts have been pouring in and no impression has been made on the mar ket beyond keeping 1t in sort of rut while prices have in spite of it been well maintained.
 The season Is now sixty days later than it was sixty days ago, argue the bulls when we must have a decreased move ment and since prices were so little dis turbed by the large receipts it's quite natural that at this time they should be far less disturbed and 1t appears impos- sible to dislodge the interest on the long side.

 New York, February 10.-Cotton broke further today on larger receipts both at Houston and New Orleans May sold down to S26, with August at S13 at one time. The liquidation proved extensive on Saturday and when the movement in- creased this morning holders seemed quite willing to allow a decline. As was to be expected, the recent sellers bought on the break and the demand for May below 83O brought about steady advance, un- til May gold again at S.33. The tone of the market throughout the afternoon proved firm In the extreme, with early sellers buying and shorts taking advan- tage of the break to buy in short cotton There was a general feeling that re- ceipts would be more liberal for a few days and this might bring about an un- certain market for the present. On the other hand, confidence In the cotton out look remains; the average trader looks for a higher market ultimately, and this Is regarded as merely a temporary reac- tion On all br eaks from this point there Is likely to be money in all purchases of cotton.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, Febrpary 10.-Spot cotton was In good demand today although the conditions the other side had ten- dency to check the operations of the prin- cpal buyers, as factors refused to make even the slightest concessions. Sales, 455O bales, including 400 to arrive. Quo- tations unchanged. Futures opened ir- regular March being only 1 point up while May and July advanced 1 to 5 points during the call. The rally in the late months was due to the improvement in Liverpool and a firmer feeling in New York After the call the market eased off some on comparatively heavy port re- ceipts, which were offset in a measure, however, by a light interior movement and decreasing stocks at the principal Southern towns. The estimates for re- ceipts at New Orleans and Houston for tomorrow proved large encouraging the bears to do some selling and forcing nerv- ous longs to realize. Under this pressure the market fell off to points below the opening level. The market closed with net losses of to points compared with Saturdays closing.

 to Keep Hands Off.
WITHDRAWALS FREQUENT

New York, February 10-The cotton market opened steady points lower to ? points higher and for a short time after the call wavered between weakness and strength. As against firm Southern spot markets and strong statistical situa- tion, long cotton seemed to be offered freely and the ring was bearishly in- clined for the moment.
 Port receipts were sufficiently large to offset the small interior movement and with New Orleans closed tomorrow and New York market closed Wednesday for Linco1n's birthday. the room believed withdrawals advisable. The Liverpool cables were a trifie disappointing and rumor had it that tomorrow's receipts would also be large at the ports and at Houston. So on selling for both accounts was in active progress before which prices broke rapidly. May sold off to SPA and July to S.29 around which figure covering and buying set in. Wall street the South and commission house brokers were con spicuous buyers. It was seen that ex- port clearances would again exceed port receipts and that interior stocks were losing heavily.
 The Consolidated New York stock again lost quite extensively and total exports for the season scored an additional gain over those of the same time a year ago. Belief that fit was bull market on sheer merits of the staple" prompted market leaders to buy freely. Before 2 D. m May had rallied points while July was back to 8.S4 with shorts nervous buyers. Trad ing continued active and general through out the late session with sentiment once more bullish. The market finally was steady, net one point higher to points lower.

" freed from titled aristocracy, in
which one may be placed by the mere

have no Dukes, no Lords, but in their
place we have 500, 900 soldiers who
risked their lives in doing duty and
defending right. Happy Land! and
Honored Heroes Christened by fiery
baptism with a glorious name, you can
afford to spurn all other rank. But
rank cannot be separated from respon-
sibility. America gladly gives TO you
her laurel crown; but asks that you will

his manhood in degradation; but for a
soldier of the sixties to be a traitor TO
his conscience, to surrender to dishon.
esty, 10 be taken captive by intemper-
ance or shut within the prison pen of
lust,-this is an individual and nation
al calamity. Remember the honor that
you have won; the powerful influence
that you exert; and do not fall below
your privilege.
Nor is this hour without its mes age

bore most OF the sorrow that we com.
memorate today Mothers wept for
their sons wives for their husbands,

use their mighty influence TO make

Let this day, as we gather in the

The Cab Drivers License.

AS the time draws near for the cab
men of the city to renew their licenses
some complaining is heard among
them such as has also been heard in
other places. The drivers of the public
carriages say that if they are Ii
censed for protection they should be
protected. They believe that the num-
Der of teams should be limited. One
of the drivers suggests that the regu-
lar fee be charged for a limited num-
Der and then the price be raised to $50
for all over that number.
The complaint that drivers in other
places have made that extra teams are
put on on special days and that they
cut into their business is not heard
here as the drivers here say that they
have all they can do on these special
days any way and that the extra
teams do not interfere with them to
any extent.
The thing that seems to be wanted
most of all is the limiting of the num-
Der Of teams that are given licenses.
