THE COTTON MARKET.
staple Irregular. but Receipts Con-
tinUc Extremely Heavy,

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.--It was a rather
irregular market for cotton, but in the
main it was a steady one. for if receipts
were large the other factors were bulIish.
1t is true that the semi-weekly receipts
were by far the largest on record for this
time of the year. but on the other hand
spot markets are strong.
Fail River reports are favorable. and
Europe is buying with free hand in the
South. Mr.. Price is flooding the South
with bullish literature. and many think
that his position is sound.
Commission houses report that they
have orders to buy on a scale down. a
fact which affords a steady resistance to
any decline. Wall Street has realized
profits on considerable amounts of cotton
during the last two weeks. but is still
bullish. and so are well-known houses
Identified with a large following in the
South and West. and whatever the move
ment, bears are far from aggressive.
Philadelphia interests are believed to be
still very bullish.
The market closed very steady. with
quotations unchanged to ( higher as COM
pared with yesterdays closing prices.

THE LOCAL AND GENERAL MARKETS.
THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Trade in Wheat Light and Mostly for
Professionals.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Wheat had light
trade today. and il was mostly of local
professional character. The market ruled
steady within narrow range. and closed
practically unchanged from last night.
Cables were not as weak as expected
in fact, they were steady. Continental
markets were irregular some higher. and
some lower. Further talk about taxing
wheat imports into the United Kingdom
tended to hold the Liverpool market
steady. There was a moderate demand
for cash wheat here by local milers. but
-four demand was very poor.
Corn ruled weak and dull all day on
further liquidations, owing to large coun
try offerings and slack cash demand. The
market closed 3sG 12c lower than last
night. Foreign markets were weak
Liverpool closed sd lower for the day
Oats were lightly traded in and the
market ruled easier in sympathy with
corn, and closed sc lower than last night.
Country offerings were somewhat larger;
cash demand fairly good.
Provisions opened stronger on 1000 less
hogs than XTccted later ruled weak with
grain but closed with a small gain for the
day. Several of the packers sold freely
today whenever the market would take
the product. but general trade was very
light and mostly confined to scalping.
The following are the quotations:

POLICE MUST BE PRUDENT.
Required to Attire Themselves Ac-
cOrding to the Weather.

The District Commissioners yesterday
passed upon two police cases. approving
in each instance the recommendation of
Major Sylvester.
Private J. W. Greene, charged before
the trial board with neglect of duty. was
found guilty. Major Sylvester recon-
mended that the officer be deprived of
four days leave of absence to which he
might otherwise be entitled, and that he
be informed that he should properly at
tire himself for the character of the
weather with which he has to contend.
Major Sylvester suggested further that
lieutenants and sergeants should give
such advice to comparatively new mem
bers OF the force as will cause them to
secure comforts which will inure to their
good health and enable them to perform
their duty intelligently.
He states that he will make enquiry
hereafter whether directions have been
given in this respect.
Private J. J. Donovan was charged be-
fore the trial board with being intoxicated
while on duty, and found guilty of the
charge. Major Sylvester recommended
that the oGicer be fined s25. and because it
was the first offence that he be warned
that a repetition of his action would re-
suit in his dismissal from the force.

BIBLE MIRACLES UPHELD.
Chicago MethOdists Meet the Issue
After Weeks of Talk.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. IA storm OF de-
bate that had been brewing for the last
six weeks burst at the meeting OF the
Methodist preachers when resolutions
were presented expressing to the world
the unqualified faith of the organization
in the miracles OF the Bible, and calling
on trustees of Methodist colleges to guard
against heresy creeping mo the profess
sorshi.s.
Its reading eIioited applause, which
changed 10 groans and expressions of dis
approval when the opposition rose for
an attack on the provisions of the instru-
ment. 1t was passed unanimously.
We ought TO go on record to show TO
the world that we are unalterably OPP
posed to hcresy.'' said DR.. E. ID. Hull.
Many a one is employed as instructor
in a Methodist institution whose views are
unoIthodox. The spirit Of heresy is
creeping into our publications. in the
Methodist boohrooms even where are
sold books whose teachings are out of
harmony with the spirit OF Methodism."
