Murphx & co.,.. Cotton Letter.

New York, January N.-Prices for cot ton this morning moved up as rapidly as they moved down. At first they lost to 4 points. all of which was wiped out in very quick order. There was an ab- sence of sellers just as has been the case when general preparations were made for a decline. There was more disposition to buy more than moderately. Port re- ceipts were 27,0o0 against 5000 last year and inasmuch as we are comparing with last years big movement, selling will not be popular this week. The coldest wave of the season extended all over Texas to- day. and this. if anything was a bull factor. waiting policy was being ob- served generally. Liverpool showed a slight advance. Traders did more or less around the pit but the market was about as dull and featurless as can be imagined. Crop views are as wide apart as ever

COTTON SHORTS
 BEAT A RETREAT Opened Steady With Prices 1 to 4 Points Lower LIVERPOOL WAS oFF 1-32D Near the Close Bear Pressure Helped to Force Prices off-Busi-
 ness vas Very Tame
 All Day.
LIVERPOOL WAS OFF 1-32l

New York, January N.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 1 to { points lower. which was about fair re- sponse to disappointing Liverpool cables, the feature of which was a decline of h to point in futures and 1-32d in spot cot ton. Shorts in the local ring beat & nasty retreat immediately after the call on estimates for spot receipts of but ?f.- 900 bales for the day this comparing with 1000 bales the same day last year. From 8.10 May stiffened up to 8.17 and for a time the whole ruling of the market was decidedly firm. Liverpool was quick to conform with our advance and the South sent a fairly good number of buying or ders to representatives here On the ad- vance reports was in circulation to the effect that spot cotton was frmer throughout the South on active competi- tion between exporters and dealers who last fall had sold cotton for January February delivery. The latter feared tho market would get away from them inas- much as holders were very bullish. Heavy rains were reported to have broken the drouth over Northern Texas and to have put roads In very bad condition over the rest of the western belt except Southern Texas which remained dry. Intensely cold weather was forecasted by the Wash sington department for the entire west ern and much of the central belt for to- night, all of which led to fears of a curtailment in the movement, But big estimates for tomorrows Houston re- ceipts, restored the bears to their na- tural equilibrium later in the day and under scattering sales for both accounts the markets dragged slowly lower.
 Prices returned to about the opening level. Speculation throughout the after noon was very tame and almost wholly professional. Near the close bear pres sure helped to force prices off. The mar ket was finally barely steady with prices net to 6 points lower.

To select one story which contain.

1t is only necessary to read "A One.

mine whose machinery had broken
down. is highly dramatic.
The style of the writer throughout is
scholarly and clever. The dialect Is
natural and not wearisome. The situ-

sentiment is wholesome and optimis-
tic. Mr. Gibbons has done something
for the anthracite regions that no other

THE CITY PRINTING.
"a, 900 Of the Appropriation Already
Expended-Emergency Appro-
priation Must Be Passed.

Over $4,000 Of the $4,000 appropriated
for city printing for the current fiscal
year has already been expended, and
the year not yet one-quarter over. Un-
less an emergency appropriation is
made shortly, it will be necessary to
create a deficiency in this account.
AS is generally known, the ripper"
bill provides that all ordinances passed
by councils shall be printed in full in
the official city newspapers. Not a
single ordinance passed last year was
so printed. The opinion having been
expressed that all these ordinances
were technically illegal as a conse-
quence of this omission. a provision
was inserted in the general printing Or
dinance rassed some time ago, provid-
ing that all last years ordinances
should be printed.
Only about cne-quarter of the meas
ures passed last year have been printed
In conformance with the provis-
ions of this ordinance, yet the
printing appropriation has been nearly
exhausted. City Clerk Lavelle esti-
mates that it would require nearly S25,-
0o0 to pay for the printing of last years
for the current year.
y new printing ordinance introduced
in select council last Thursday night
repeals the ordinance passed some
months ago and makes no reference to
the printing of last years ordinances.
1t provides, however, for the printing
of all ordinances passed this year. City
Clerk Lavelle says that as soon as the
$1,000 appropriation is exhausted, he
will not nave any more ordinances
printed.
II will create no deficieny." he said
yesterday. "After that $4,000 is eX-
pended none of this years ordinances
or last years will be printed, unless
an emergency appropriation is made.'
He believes that even If no more Of
