Season Closed Sunday.

The open season for the shooting of
deer closed Sunday and to the credit
of the hunters of ST. Louis county it
must be said no human life was taken
by any rattle Drained hunter mistak-
ing moving bushes for a deer. About
IS licenses We're issued by the deputy
county auditor at Ely, a rather low
number considering the number OF
hunters in the woods. Another fact
that tended to keep down the number
of licenses issued was the restriction
placed upon boys. A few game war
dens judiciously distributed about the
country during the open season would
materially assist to keep down the
wanton destruction Of game. Those
who are honest enough 10 buy licenses
for hunting are the money out. We
know of several who claim to be
sportsmen, who hunted during the en-
tire season without going through the
formality of securing a license.

Comparative Statistics.
New York World.

New 1Ork world.
 Statistics compiled by the Treasury De- partnent give a comparison between the railway mileage of the United States and other countries that Is pleasant sequel to the recent announcement that more miles of track had been laid in this country during 1901 than in any year since 1890.
 Approximately there are 100000 miles of railroads in the United States, trifie m ore 1than two-fifths of the entire mile age of the world, which iS, placed at 4S4, ,34S. No other country or continent ap- breaches the United States in the amount of mileage. All of Europe has only 16S,- 605 miles of track.
 Seventy-one years ago there were but twenty-three miles of railroad in the United States. In the last thirty years the mileage has quadrupled. In 1885 the number of tons of freight carried one mile was 39, 600. coo, 900. Last year the num- Der was fl, 900, 100000. At the same time freight rates have recreased from 1.3 cents per ton a mile in 1887 to 75-10O cents in 1900. The evolution of the railroads both in mileage and management is properly enough a wonder of the age.

Kipling's Murder of Adjectives.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
 There is now on exhibition in New York bookstore the original manuscript of Kipling's "The Light That Failed. " As it appears to the casual observer thera Is little chirographical evidence at least of the mental torment authors are popularly supposed to undergo in their efforts to bring forth a volume. The 'copy'' is written in an even hand, and in the entire manuscript there are scarcely hundred lines that have been rewritten and not one paragraph chang ed. In the editing of the copy, obviously done by the author. there Is one notice able feature, and that is the wholesale striking out of adjectives. It would seem that Mir. Kipling had gone through the manuscript with no other thought than tn .,kill'' them.

MARKET FOR FUTURES LONG COTTON SEEMED TO BE oF-
 TERED FREELY.
Room Traders Thought Withdrawals Advisable on Account of the Holidays.-Close Point High
 CT to 4 Points Lower

NEW YORK. Feb. Io--The cotton market opened steady. 3 points lower to 2 points higher and for a short time after the call wa vered between weakness and strength. As against firm Southern spot markets and a strong statistical situation. long cotton seemed to be offered freely and the ring was bearishly Inclined for the moment. Port receipts were sufficiently large to offset the small interior movement and with New Orleans closed to- morrow and New York market closed Wednos- day for Lincoln's birthday. the room believed withdrawals advisable. The Liverpool cables were q trifie disappointing and rumor had it that tomorrow's receipts would also be large at the ports and at Houston Soon selling for both accounts was in active progress. before which prices broke rapidly. May sold on to 8 24 and July to 629. around which figure covering and buying set in. Wall Street, the South and commission house brokers were con- spicuous buyers. It that export 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 scoreq an additional gain over those of the same time year ago: Belief that "it was a bull market on sheer merits of the staple" prompted market leaders to buy free iy. Before D. m May had rallied points while July was back to g. 34 with shorts ner- vous buyers. Trading continued active and general throughout the late session. with sen- timent once more bullish. The market finally was steady. net l point higher to 4 points lower.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Inc) Cotton Letter


 NEW YORK, Feb io.-No little anxiety rre- vailed in the bull cotton circles this morning on account of the quite heavy receipts at the ports which promised to reach 33 900, against 22. 900 last year, but despite these large figures prices opened only 2G3 points lower the decline being quickly wiped out and prices moved up 2G3 points above Saturday s closing. The European situation was without special feature. The long interest here Is undisturbed by the movement Wall Street Is said to be too deeply interested in the game to give bears any encouragement at this time. Reports of exhaustion are numerous and conservative people in the South contend that stocks at planters and gins have bee n over-estimated. In Liverpool there was a de- cline of 2 points today. New York was a tame affair with more or less liquidation by Southern longs on the clear weather in the South and fear of continued free receipts At noon prices showed points decline Tn. fact that receipts started heavy for the new week gives no little concern to the small waisted bulls and it is again question wheth- CT the market will fall into rut. So fnr as prices yielding that Is not probable to any serious extent For sixty days receipts have been pouring in and impression has heen made on the market beyond keeping it in sort of rut while prices have in spite of it been well maintained The season Is new sixty days later than 1t was sixty days ago argue the bulls, wheE must have a decided movement and since prices were so little dis turbed by large receipts it Is quite natural that at this time they should he far les, dis turbed and it appears impossible to dislodge the interest on the long side.

The slight closed Saturday was lost at the outset today on minor bits of bearish news The cables amount of passage had increased i 'sa4, ooo bushels and worlds shipments were liberal. The m mild mild weather and additional snows over All told, the market was dull and largely a scalping affair: traders selling on all the buTges and buying the dips The most i'm portant item of news of the day was the de- crease of 1868, GOO bushels, almost double the decrease expected. yet there was no CT lower at 77&G777s and on early corn strength sold to 76b.

 Corn at times had fair support and some ac- tivity, but in the long run the bearish ten dency won out. The early cables were indif- ferent, based on an improvement in Argentine crops. There was a feeling that the market had been oversold Saturday and shorts GOV cred freely at the opening, but this did not last long May opened h0lA lower recovered and sold at 62h shortly after the opening. Then commission house selling and the oats depression brought sag and in the absence of buying orders the gain was lost. Kansas haariGh closed easy h9kc lower at 6ilsq6lss. Re ceipts, 52 cars.
 Oats had a bad time of it from the opening. The market was fairly strong with corn and soon after the opening May was selling at 43k, Saturdays closing figures. Then there two weeks ago and May was pressed down quickly to 42 cents. There was poor demand and there was almost no early support. More interest was shown, however. than in several days and toward the close commission houses helped toward regaining fracd n of the loss. May closed weeak. &@Hc lower. at 42%642la.

 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 0.-Notwithstandtng Liverpool advices not encouraging our mar ket opened 4d5 points higher, but declined l | points later on the heavy port receipts and large Houston and New Orleans estimates for tomorrow. Fresh buying subsequently oc- casioned an improvement of 5 points from the bottom. which. however. brought out sellers net loss on the day points. Port rece pts for the three days are 20, 900 larger than last week and l9 1000 over last year. The interior towns are increasing also and with con linuance of favorable weather, the probabiIi- ties are the movement will soon again be on normal basis. Manchester cables say that cloths were steadier during the latter part of last week and merchants appeared to be less confident of the fall In the price of cotton which they have been anticipating. The de mand from India was unsatisfactory. still the outlook of trade with China is promising from obtaining the advance shown in the price of cotton. Receipts will continue to gov ern the future course of values,

IBy Special Leased Wire.
 NEW ORLEANS. Feb lo.-Liverpool con- tracted an easier tone today under the imp es. sion that the movement due to pick up again in liberal fashion, and deliver ies dropped of B. 64. while spots were marked of l-l6, the days sales amounting to 5000 bales.
 Early transactions here were in the nature of sales, influenced by larger movement at the opening, and prices were forced down soiha 10 points. when a fresh speculative demand was attracted and a steadier tone was re- stored. Closing quotations are points lower to points higher than Saturday.
 The question of the movement is the chief puzzle of the market at the movement. With clearing weather prevailing generally in the belt at present bears look for a prompt re- sumption of liberal receipts and are encour- aged in that expectation by todays develop ments. Bulls confident. however owing to the nature of advices in their possession, that the cotton does not exist in the country to permit of material expansion in the movement, and 1t remains for little more time to decide which of these views Is cor rect. Meanwhile a feeling favorable to the market is stilr largely in evidence and any encouraging events are likely to receive prompt rcognitiou.
