COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 24-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with January two
points and other months unchanged to
three points lower. This showing was
quite satisfactory to the bull interests,
who were figuring on a greater decline
than occurred, in view of the
poor response by Liverpool to
owing to the big port move
ment. The latter gave promise of
reaching nearly 10000 bales as COM
pared with less than $4,000 same day
last year. Big lin sight" estimates
and bearish statistical weekly state
ment from Liverpool helped to give
the impression that a much lower ear
ly market was likely. Yet Wall
street buying orders and demand from
some of the more nervous shorts prov
ed equal to the offerings of the lead
ing bears and the longs desiring profits.
May opened at 81, sold off to SO and
then started upward until S17 was
reached, when selling for profits and
for a reaction sent the entire list off
some to points. Trading was quite
active throughout the day with spec
ulative business a leading feature of
operations. Commission houses had lit
tie cotton to sell and were fair buyers
of May and June from time to time.
Whereas weekend statistics were
against any material movement in the
market the private news from the crop
country was very bullish and the Off
cial estimates for tomorows New Or
leans and Houston receipts were con-
siderably under the actual receipts Of
the same day last year. Finding our
market disposed to work upward, LiV-
erpool rallied sharply near the close
and a moderate number of foreign buy
ing orders found their way to our pit.
In the last hour the local market was
quiet, but very steady and within a
point or so to top-notch for the day.
The close was quiet net to 8 points
higher

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cation Letter.

New York, Jan. 24.-The trade con-
tinues distinctly bullish and is indif-
ferent to the receipts, which are liberal
relying upon the falling off, which is so
necessarily predicted. During the fore
noon some liquidation was evident, but
the market absorbed the offerings and
advanced slightly. There is not much
general business. The date Of the de-
creasing receipts is being moved for
ward in adaptation to the volume of
the crop as It is marketed.

COTTON.

Spot cotton ruled quiet throughout
the week. with the demand moderate,
and no disposition to sell at the lower
prices bid. The movement has reached
a point where holders of cotton look
for falling off. and a consequent
strengthening of the market. In an
ticipation of this there is a disposition
to await Developments. Savannah re-
ceipts were about the same as for the
corresponding week last year. In the
fob market the demand was fair,
with satisfactory business done. The
interior continues bullish, and buyers
are unable to secure very large Offer
ings at shaded prices. Cotton futures
at New York closed steady at an ad-
vance of to 8 points to-day.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

More than ordinary interest was
conferred in the sea island cotton mar
ket during the past week. Rumors
We're afloat early that large transact
tions had been effected, the rumor
crediting large Savannah house as
the sellers. While prices show little
change, there was a feeling of ,uncer-
tainty in some quarters. Buyers be-
stirred themselves to run down the
rumor, but in the absence of positive
reports the amount of business, if any,
remains unknown. The official re-
ports show no large sales, such as
some believe were effected. Prices as

on the subject of Interpretations, a cor
respondent says: 81 have in my scrap
book three notable quotations from
the Thanksgiving proclamation of the
governors of different states. Gov.
Bell, Of Texas, began his with Now is

That is, my bereaved friends, the only
way for us to look at it. An acquaint-
ance Of mine tells me that Cyrus Bur-
leigh, one Of the well-known writers of
80 years ago, told her that he had just
come from a Quaker meeting, where he
saw woman speaker rise and with
a Quaker tone say. "a boss, hos,

Children OF Russian Convict Found
In tho Heart of n Siberian
Forest.

A party of Russian geographers I'M
der Col. Pavovoski, travelling through
an unknown tract of Siberian forest
country recently, came upon large
natural clearing, where they found
about hundred Withholding indi-
viduals clad in skins and speaking
bad Russian. They were the children
and grandchildren of an escaped con-
Wet, who had managed to run away
from the mines in 1890, reports a
London exchange.
The convict, whose name was Mat
veyef came upon n camp of wander
ing Kirghz (natives) and, after living
with them some time, married one
of their women. The tribe left to
wander and Matveyeff, finding a
suitable spot in the midst of dense
forest, settled there with his wife.
After ten years Of incredible hard
ship and toll they built house and
managed to till little soil. AS the
years went On the children managed
to secure Eirghize wives, but as they
feared to visit the Russian settle
ments they were obliged to lead a
Robinson Crusoe sort of existence.
The patriarch Matveyeff died five
years ego.

BIG SUM FOR MISSIONS.
Over $4,000 Pledged mt "a Single
Meeting In Gospel Tabernacle
In New York city.

Pledges for $53,476 for missionary
work were given the other day by the
people who assembled at the Gospel
tabernacle, 500 Eighth avenue, New
York city, and listened to the appeal
of Rev. A. b. Simpson. Over So, 100 in
cash was given. The promises to pay
have a year to run. DR.. Simpson says
they always are paid--that is, less than
one per cent. of the note givers default
in payment, and this loss is made up
by contributions from other sources.
A recent collection was the last for
the year of the Christian and Mission
airy alliance. From similar services at
Old Orchard, Me, and other places Mr..
Simpson has collected 500 900, so he
has $4,000 pledged. He expects to
get in 100000. Last year he collected
$lS6,000.
The largest gift was a promise of
$500. Three pledges of $4,000 each
were found in the baskets, one of $4 900,
one Of SO 900, one of 81 800 two of $4,000,
and one of 81 500.

PROMISES MANY INNOVATIONS
Elegant aud Complete Railroad SER
Ice to He Given New York Through
Rapid Transit Tunnel.

New Workers will be riding from one
end of the rapid transit tunnel to the
other in less than a year, according TO
the announcement made by Chief Engi-
neer William Barclay Parsons. Prac-
tically all the tunnel digging will be
finished within the next six weeks.
by next New Years day 1t will be-
gin to look like a railroad said Mr..
Parsons. Eve shall then have seven
miles Of four-track railroad laid and
ready for business. And by that time
we expect the work of excavation and
Enclosure to be completed. In all there
are 90 miles Of single track road TO be
built. The electric motors will begin
to arrive about January /, and the
cars will soon follow. The stations will
be beautiful and artistic as well as
illuminated by sunlight and perfectly
hygienic.
"a color scheme has also been adopt
ed, by which to distinguish the various
sections Of the road, so as TO enable the
passenger TO tell at glance when he
Is nearing the station at which he
wants to leave the train.
This will be in addition to an auto
matte device in the cars by which the
next station will be announced.
AT all important stations telephone
booths will be established, and at the
more important stations telegraph sta
tions also There will he bo:h ascend
Ing and descending elevators at all the
deep stations.
"Stairways have been planned so as
to keep the incoming and outgoing
streams Of passengers entirely sep
arate. The stairways will be wider in
the average than those of the elevated
railways and there will be twice as
many.
81 believe we shall throw the main
section open to traffic on October l
Of next year, and that will be IS months
within the time limit fixed In the con-
tract"

TO UTILIZE SNOW WATER.
Lands In wyoming by Means of
water Now Wasted.

Investigations by the United States
geological survey are now In progress
in northern Wyoming with view to
extending the use Of the available wa
ter supply in that portion Of the state.
Jeremiah Ahern, an engineer OF the
geological survey, IS in charge OF the
work. Particular attention Is directed
10 the eastern slope Of the Bighorn
mountains, where important storage
problems on the headwaters Of the Sui
phur, Powder and Tongue rivers await
solution
These streams. after leaving the
mountains, flow through fertile bench
and valley lands, which with proper
irrigation, would be valuable for agri-
cultural development. The rainfall OF
that region is light during the time
water IL needed for irrigation, but the
winter SHOWS on the mountain slopes
are unusually heavy and furnish large
quantities Of water to the streams,
The source Of supply at present Is an
extremely unsatisfactory one, for the
warm rains Of spring melt the snow
rapidly and produce disastrous foods,
in which large quantities Of waterpas
through the streams unused.
There are, however, n number OF
lakes In the region, fayorably situated
TO be used for storage, One OF these
" Lake de Smct, whose water surface
4, said To be 30 feet below the lowest
part OF It's rim. In this lake 1t is pro-
posed to store part Of the headwaters
Of the Powder river, thus saving a
large body OF water for irrigation
which is now entirely wasted,
Mr.. Ahern has been engaged during
the present summer In gauging the
fow Of the streams on the eastern
slope OF the Bighorn mountains and In
Investigating the possibilities and
probable cost Of water storage In the
region.

New Facilities for Reaching the Pacific
Coast. Low Rates, Improved Train
Service and Unprecedented Travel to
California and Oregon. The Service
this Winter to be better than ever.
Special Attention is being given to
Tourists Sleeping Car Parties.
The franc continental lines have been
making extensive efforts latoly to
improve their service TO and from the
Pacific Coast, the latest development
announced being that the personally
conducted feature of the Chicago &
North Western and Union Pacific SER
vice is to be expanded and extended to
include personally conducted excursions
to the Coast twice week from Chicago
via Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City,
in addition TO the three a week now
operated to the Coast via Omaha and
Cheyenne. This gives the tourist a
chance to enjoy the most beautiful
scenery that Colorado affords, the route
being through Colorado Springs, past
Pixies Peak and via the Royal Gorge,
Glenwood Springs and Salt Lake City.
This, with the two tours q week via
Cheyenne and Ogden to Sacramento,
San Francisco cad Los Angeles and one
a week to Portland, makes five person
ally conducte excursions per week
from Chicago to California Oregon and
Washington.
This personally conducted feature
has expanded wonderfully in the last
few years. The service has steadily i'm
proved, so that Pullman tourist sleep
ing cars have all the conveniences of
the standard sleeper and are particular
ly well adapted to the use of family
parties and those who desire economy
in travel. With the low rates now in
effect to the Coast, this branch of the
service promises to be very popular in
deed, and will doubtless enable thou
sands to visit the Coast who otherwise
would haye been unable to 20. These
thosands will include large percentage
of people who hope to find on the sunny
slopes of the Pacific place where lifes
hard struggle may be made easier and
where competence may be gained
with small investment in fruit raising
or some similar occupation; to which
class is added the invalid who finds in
the far West the dry and balmy air and
sunshiny days that bring health and
strength that the East failed to pro-
vide.

This airship is built on an entirely new

danger is that a failure of the motor
would cause it to fan rapidly. De
liradsky is confident and relies on the
motor working properly.

WON'T STRIKE WATER.
Experiments Conducted by Prof.
TrowbridKe Throw New Light
on Action of Lightning.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by Prof John
Trowbridge, Of Harvard university,
have led to the definite statement that
lightning will not strike water. by
means Of a battery of 10000 cells he
obtained voltage Of 100000, which
force, he says, is at least comparable
to lightning and enabled him to dc.
duce his conclusions. lie said:
with my battery was able to OBJ
tain an electric spark about seven feet
long, and found that instead % strik.
ing the water spark Of six or seven
feet in length invariably Jumped to
some adjacent object in preference to
striking the liquid surface. A spark
Of only few Feet IA length. however,
will strike the water, but such spark
is not comparable TO lightning.
Beyond Il million volts the initial
resistance - atrIunpa eric air TO cleo
trieal discharges becomes less and less,
and the discharge therefore is shunted
through the air instead of upon the
water and strikes some object ada
