Local Cotton Market.
Quotations for spot cotton in the local mar.
Murphy 6 Co.'S Inc.) Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK Jan. Participation had been made for lower market this morning. but there. was no decline. but instead few points advance establishe simply be- cause of preponderance of buyers. Sellers were active in expressing their views. but refrained from backing them. The movement at the ports was below last year and this in itself sufficed to influence many in favor Of present prices on sentimental grounds. the es- innate being for 38, 900, against AZ, GOO last year Sentiment also helped from weaker point of view inasmuch very low tempera- ture still prevailed In the Southwest. more especially in North Texas and Arkansas; After gaining points the market again turned weak and ruled dull. Cables showed only slight changes. Houston receipts were running ahead of expectations Receipts at ports are so far 5.7I3ooo. against B. l93. 900 last year. Ex- ports since the opening of the reason are A. 4loooo against 3.S72 900 last year. The latter feature does much to maintain bull con idence. Europe is piling up cotton in such quantities to suggest either decided belief in only moderate crop in trade being so satisfactory as to consume all that is made be it TO- ooo GOO or 10. 75o. ooo At last accounts Liverpool held 300 0on hales more than last year Of late Liverpool has not been present. ing her old time bold front. May be she is being worked by American bulls. At all events she weakens more frequently than heretofore and is well worth watching.

tSpeclal 70 The Advertiser.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28.-Liverpool advices were disappointing owing to increased crop inmates becoming prevalent and MT. Ellison reducing his estimate of American consunlp- tion. Our market. however. ignored this and opened higher expecting the cold weather to check receipts. The liberal New Orleans and Houston estimates for tomorrow nccasioned a break of 5G6 points, later but near the close on the rumor that the boer wa had been set bottom quickly established, making the net gain the day points. Poit receipts thus far for the week are 3 900 under last year. Whereas the interior towns running ahead of last year an increasing fin st ok Mir. Ellison has publicly announced his duction of American consumption to lo.4oo, GOO, or 26o 900 less than his former figures which was brought about by the unsatisfactory textile conditions existing in Europe The ,ru- that the Hoer ha been settled may toe vet it is rather douhtfu nsi lel ing the number of firms here ha"ns English ncctions who have not received any news corrohorating the same. Receipts will be the principal factor m determining the future course of values.

R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Jan 29.-In the early part of the days session, the cotton market was in a comparatively inanimate condition There Was no change in the course of the movement and opinions expressed by cable from Liver pool were less favorable. though tho English mar ket hardly moN ed all and furnished in contive- for action either way. Deliveries closed partial shade tower. and spots prices were unchanged One cable commented on the dullness Of trade and the large movement in support of the belief that q decline was in order and another cable conveyed the inf r nation that prices for manufactured goods steady, though the actual business ,I.Ihs was below the extent of production.
 After the opening here. offerings increased slightly as q result of liberal estimates of re ceipts, but quiet tone subsequently, prevailed until the approach of the closing hour when rumor was spread that the Boer war hal end cd, and sharp recovery in prices followed Closing quotations are about points higher than yesterday $.
 The peculiarity of the present situation of cotton is that at the end of January the mar ket Is almost susceptible to surprises as a the beginning of the season Ideas are still greatly in conflict regarding the size of tn crop while the probable extent of require ments for the worlds consumption is also much in doubt.
 Meanwhile the disposition of traders is to wait for definite developments and the value of the staple accordingly remains practically undi sturhod

CAN NOT MAINTAIN BRANCHES
Attorney General Rules Against Saw.
mas Banks.

/ Des Moines. Aug 9.-Attorney Cen
cral Mullan has rendered an opinion to
the auditor OF state in which he deals
with the following questions:
/ E'irst-Mhether state and savings
banks organized under the laws of
Iowa may establish and maintain
branch banks. or branch departments
in the same. or in the different cities
from that in which the corporation is
iluthorized TO transact business.
Second-Can loan and trust compa-
mics. organized under the laws of the
state. and doing Il banking business. so
far as permitted under section 1889 of
the code establish and maintain
branches in the same or different cities
from that i'm which the corporation is
located
Mr. Mullan says that in July. 1892.
his predecessor. John y. Stone, held the
law then did not permit the establish
fment of maintenance of branches of
state or savings banks in the cities or
towns where such banks We're located
or elsewhere. Mr. Mullan says there
has been no change in the law since Mr..
Stones time. In regard to loan and
trust companies. he cites section 1889
of the code. which authorizes loan and
trust companies to transact banking
business to a certain extent. On this
he says:
This provision of the statue author
ICES loan and trust companies to trans
act banking business to a limited eN-
tent, and at the same time places them
under the control and regulation of the
auditor of state as are savings banks,
and makes them subject to the same
examination by him.
The effect of this provision of the
statute is to put lean and trust COM
panies. so far as their right to estab-
lish branches is concerned. upon the
same footing as state and savings
banks.
1T was clearly not the intention of
the legislature to permit loan and trust
companies to establish branches and
transact their business at any other
place, or places, than that fixed by their
articles of Incorporation

BIG POWDER EXPLOSION.
Hardware Company at Waterloo De
stroys Thirty eight KEGS.

Waterloo, Aug. S.-The Cutler Hard
Ware Company yesterday exploded anG
destroyed thirty-eight kegs of powder
The work was conducted by George
Huntley and doc F'essler, and tho
there was a continuous Fourth of July
celebration atmosphere about the place
where the powder was disposed of fol
several hours, and the noise and the
smoke attracted great crowds, especial
lv of the youngsters, no one was in
iured aud nothing to mar the pleasant
excitement of the occurrence tram
spired.
The powder was stored in the Cutler
ial DWARF powder house on the east
hank of the river south of town. 1t is
kept there in accordance With the law
preventing the keeping of large quanti-
ties of the explosive within the city linz
it's. The recent floods of the river forced
the water into the powder house and 1t
was so thoroughly soaked that ii was
made absolutely useless. The firm con-
cllded there was but one thrg TO do,
and that was to dispose of the EXPLOSIVE
in the most thorough manner possible.
For that purpose Messrs. Huntlsy ;.nal
Fessler Went TO the powder house yes
terday They found large quantities of
the powder solidified by the water and
II was necessary to chop it into smaller
quantities..
