RATIFICATION OF TREATIES
Pauncefote and Brun See the Score.
tary of State.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Lord Pauncefote
called at the State Department today,
and it has been arranged between him.
self and Secretary Hay that the final rat
ification of the HayPauneefote treaty
shall be exchanged here as soon as the
mechanical work of impressing the ex-
change copies can be executed.
The British Government has conveyed
to its Ambassador full authority to con-
cludc this arrangement.
Mr.. Brun, the Danish Minister, also
saw Secretary Hay in relation to the
ratification of the treaty for the cession
to the United State of the Danish West
Indian Islands. 1t seems improbable now
that the mooted plebescite of the inhabi-
tants of the islands will be had by the
Danish Government. However, should 1t
be decided otherwise. the taking Of the
vote will be very small matter, mas
much as the franchise is enjoyed In the
Danish West Indies by only few hun
dred of the total population, and their
votes could be recorded in day or two.
1t will not be necessary to wait on Con-
gress for the appropriation of S. o0O 600.
as a preliminary to the acquisition of the
islands by the United States. Under the
treaty, as soon as the Publications are
exchanged. the United States flag will be
hoisted and the S. 100000, If not already
appropriated, will be charged up against
the United States as a debt.

Murphy & Co.'s Qnc) Cotton Letter.

NEW York, Feb 2o.-Again the early
cotton market was unsatisfactory and prices
4 points lower, the fact being. that receipts
support despite the extensive long interest
of the more powerful kind which shows no
signs OF yielding. Liverpool developed fur
ther weakness and private reports hint that
receipts would keep up their present free
scale for quite a while. But behind all this
there was feeling that no decline Of impor-
lance Is to be expected just yet or for some
time II at all, in view Of the very heavy
taking by Europe which 1t Is claimed, is
far from loaded up to the point demanded
by spinners. Profit taking was confined to
smaller holders. Port receipts estimated at
10 500. against i4.ooo last year Cables
closed points lower The weakness in stocks
today accounted in measure for the heaviness
in cotton during the forenoon. The remark
able feature today il the persistency which
small crop estimates are being adhered to in
the face Of very heavy receipts. For weeks
and weeks we have been told that the receipts
would fail of sharply, sharply as to con-
vince even the bears that the crop is small
one and not likely to much exceed Govern
ment figures and yet day after day the move
ment has been going on and a matter of
fact there are no signs OF the often predicted
perpendicular drop which far is a myth.
Meanwhile the big bulls are nobly standing by
their guns confident that the decreased move
ment In bound to come in the course OF time
and apparently undisturbed to what may
take place today or tomorrow.
