 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-Liverpoo was somewhat more favorable on the expectation of an early settlement of the Bosr war and cur market in sympathy opened 3 points higher, but declined subsequently, on the bearish semi weekly interior statement coupled to the large eetimates for both New Orleans and Houston tomorrow closing at a net loss of 6 points on the day The lighter port receipts are off, set by the increased movement in the inter.o' The sem-weekly interior towns gained 1000 in receipts over last year, increasing 3. GOO in stocks, against a loss of 8, 900 last year, pro- wing that the recent large port receipts have been from plantations and not at the expense of interior stocks since they have gained rea- lively during the past seven weeks. The cold and indictment weather prevalent in the South is anticipated to check receipts by many; still it is questionable whether 1t will cause any decided decrease. Anyway. advices are being received daily showing that there Is consid- erably more cotton in the interior than VA thought possible some few weeks back. Our cable adviccs say Mir. Ellison compelled to reduce his estimate of American consump- ton to lo,40o, 900 as he ascertaine1 that there was more surats coming. to EuropN than he had calculated upon and that I.an- cashire was iss uing a considerable amouns of Peruvian and Brazilian at the expense of American cotton.

WALL STREET REVIEW. A REvULSIoN OF SPECULATIVE
 SENTIMENT OCCURS. Movement to Sell Gathered Force Up to the Close, Which was Active
 and Weak.-Bonds Dull.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2e-There was a reyul- sion of speculative sentiment in the stock cred force up to the close. which was active and weak. Generally speaking yesterdays other obvious cause then the desire to take profits on the professional traders who had half an hour of trading after the openln9 @ 0t to demonstrate that the slightly increased demand attracted by yesterdays sharp advances was repress any tendency to advance beyond small fractions. The contingent of bear traders was quick to take advantage of this situation and to offer down prices. taking the market away from tha sellers. The character of the whole market thereupon reiapsed into the rut of dull yesterdays late demand had aroused strong hopes that the great banking interests which more embarked upon a movement to put up prices. and make market for syndicate hoId- days developments was correspondingly keen The speculation felt acutsly the lack of the stimulating effect of the recent strength in Amalgamated Copper. That stock continued easily the leader of the market in point of activity and made an initial advance of a fraction. When 1t seems to be yielding the sympathetic effect upon the rest of the mar ket was immediate. The reason for it's reac- tion was not disclosed Conditions remained unchanged far known. The price of the metal was lifted another fraction and the buy ing in London continued very large. There was some selling by brokers usually employed by insiders, but this was the case yesterday. This selling and the appearance of disapproval of
 
 influence on sentiment today The stock lost 2% today. closig within shade of the lowest Sugar showed the effect of disappointment over the failure to advance refined sugar and lost ] 8 on the day. The large volume of trading In these two specialtes gave then large in fiuence on the market. The feeling in regard to the outlook for peace in South Africa was not so confident today. A number of unfa- vorable reports of December net earnings were depressing influence. Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis, Chesapeake and Ohio and Ontario and Western reported considerable decreases for abar The action of the United Mine Workers Con vention in providing for strike fund had a somewhat sinister effect on the trading. Money continued to grow easier. The heavy balances of the clearing houses of some of the indi- vidual banks give rise to the supposition that large syndicate transactions are going on in the financial world, of which the public was not informed There were sharp gains small transactions by a number of dormant stocks including. several of the express stocks the National Salt stocks.

 NEW ORLEANS. Jan 2e,-Rumors that were circulated yesterday about the Boer war being ended lacked confirmation, they evil dently having originated from the report that Holland endeavorinG to arrange terms of peace with Great Britain; yet the mere sug- gstion of pro peace proved sufficient to estab- fish a better tone in both branches of the cot ton market in Liverpool Spots were called firmer with sales of 5000 bales at an advance of ll6 and deliveries closed l1464 higher. Prices were slightly higher here at the open ing, but yesterdays buyers showed an eager ness to realize and as there was an absence of active support and receipts continued thick some decline ensued. after which quiet con- dition again prevailed.
 Closing quotations are points lower than yesterday.
 The situation presents no new features Spot cotton is easier here, though good de- mand is said to have appeared in interior towns. There is more talk about less satlsfac- tory trade in Manchester, but cotton con- tinues to be exported from this country in enormous quantity. The exports thus far this week amount to is6coo bales, while the ie- ceipts at all ports only figure 20. 900 bales Thus the extent of supply and consumption is still greatly in doubt and traders on both sides continue to exercise patience.

MARKET FOR FUTURES LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER
 CABLES FIRM. Estimate of Receipts at Houston and New Orleans Larger than Ex- pected and Helped to Weight
 Down Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2e.-The cotton market opened steady and unchanged to 4 point higher an1 then eased off several points 'quite sharply. after which there was little chanso for the rest of the day. The early 'advantn WAS an indifferent response to firm Live pool and Manchester cables and to light es i'na.e for the. days port receipts. New Orletns an Liverpool we're fair buyers in cur ma ket around the opening. but later withdrew upon finding local sentiment rather beat ishly dis posed and speculative support tame. Pretty much all day the ma ket followed an extremely narrow rut with scalpers much of the time the only operators. Bad weather was reported officially over the entire belt. either rain or snow was falling. with the forecast indis sat- ing continued precipitation tonight and tomor- row with unseasonaby low temperatures. The official estimates for tomorow's New Or leans and Houston receipts were rather larger than expected and helped to weight down the afternoon market. small number of Febru- ary notices were issued early in the day, but found willing takers among spot cotton houses and therefore made no marked impression on the market The stubborn steadiness os South ern spot markets acted a restraint upon wouId-be short sellers. to stimulate large buy ing. @f
