MARKET FOR FUTURES SHORT CONTINGENT SHOWED EVIDENCE OF FRIGHT. Opening Steady With Prices Up 2 to Points, and for the Rest of the Session the Market Worked
 Higher.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The cotton market opened steady 2@4 points higher and for the rest of the session worked steadily upward on active buying for both accounts, led by strong bull interests and badly frightened short contingent. The latter made scarcely any attempt to defend their position after a brief resistance the call and grew more uneasy at every rise of a point Futures In Liverpool were up IG2 points and spot cot ton was up i-32d, whereas no change was looked for by the local trade. Manchester stated that export trade in goods was at full tide and that home consumption was all that could be desired The continent too. reported excellent trade conditions in manufactured goods. Next in order after the cables were re, ceipts. The ports gave promise once more of falling short of those for the same day last year Not only did interior towns report a shortage, but gave very large shipments, much of which were at the expense of reserve stocks. thus indicating a light Fin sight movement at the end of the week. Spot cen- ters of the South told of eager demand from mills No fault could be found with the weather and this Ted to the belief that after all the small receipts were due more to &C., tual scarcity of supplies than to the sleet and rain storm of last week. In harmony with other influences the official estimates for tomorrow's New Orleans and Houston re- ceipts pointed to a serious decrease under those grams from Southern markets reflected small offerings, increased demand and higher prices. The feature of the fluctuations was the closing of the breech between March and May and the narrowing of the difference be- tween these two options and the July posi- tion. The market closed steady with prices net 449 points higher.

Employers Aid Temperance.

An unforeseen aid in the temperance cause. and one that should be used more, says a medical publication, is the exclu- sion of drinking men from the service of railroads and 'arge manufacturing companies. Another. and one perhaps equally powerful, should be discrimina- fion by insurance companies against the drinker. Heretofore our American com panies have made no distinction in rates, but English companies make better rates to abstainers. as statistics show that they have an advantage Of at least 20 per cent. in expectancy of life. The ab- stainer should certainly have a corre- Eponding preference in rate, and not be forced to pay a part of the premiums of the reckless drinker. The medical ex- aminer deservediy has great influence in Insurance companies. and should urge upon them the method suggested, in the interests of both of his company ond of @ncia1 progress.

PROBLEMS OF OPERATORS.
Some of the Humors of the Tele-
 graph Service.

An article in McCIure's Magazine for January relating how telegraph operators correct estimates of each othes habits and pecuiiarjties by the manner in which they handle the key. is of interest to many persons who are not familiar with the Morse system of communication.
 The following paragraph would appear 20 be the result of strong imagination If it could not be corroborated by every expert telegrapher:
 The man would be but poor observer of little things. who. after working a wire with stranger at the other end for a week. could not give a correct idea of his distinct vfs-a-vis' disposition and character. And it would be quite possi- bie for an imaginative operator to build up a fairly accurate mental image of him-whether he ate with his knife or wore his hat cooked on the side of his head. or talked loud in public places."
 While this statement is practically cor rect, it is a mystery to the intelligent operator why the author should go back 50 far as the Charleston earthquake for an illustration of grounded wires. What with typewriters, resonators, and suc- cessful experiments in the "wireless" branch of the service, the subject is fraught with inviting possibilities for pen so able as Mir. Halls.
 The point touched upon-the female manipulator Of the key-is a source of snuch amusement to the members of the sterner sex who are engaged in the bus mess. A woman rarely becomes an eX- pert and inJeriably betrays her sex by her method of transmitting messages. The writer is employed in newspaper office where the "way" wire is cut In for occasional use. On this circuit are two "lady operators It is amusing. when they are exchanging business. to hear such familiar femili le outbreaks as goodness gracious" "the idea" etc, winding up, as rule by "scrapping' to see who will have the last word. The listener can do nothing but think very hard. and wish his vocation were that of burglar, newspaper writer, or some other useful profession.
 Many stories are told of curious inns pressions made upon operators by the "b'ind" telegrams that pass through their hands. Perhaps the most amusing yarn (which may be new to the present generation). is that of the Sunday School Superintendent preparing for the yule- tide festivities. The good soul who was leader in the First Methodist Church at Decatur, had planned to have. in con- nection with the Christmas tree, ban ner with an appropriate motto painted thereon. This arrangement would, he fan cied, greatly enhance the appearance of the church. and at the same time carry a useful lesson to the children. Being called to Chicago during the time of tendent that better work might be se- cured on the banner by having the job done here. Upon arriving at the metrop- oils. however. the whole matter had manner, and all There was only one course open. and that co telegraph De- catur for the forgotten data. This he did.
 Imagine the receiving" operators sur prise when. an hour later, he took down for the deacon the following reply:
 Unto us a child is born, fourteen feet long by six feet wide"

H. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter

Especial to The Advertiser1
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6. Liverpool advices were peter than anticipated and our market in sympathy opened points higher. advanced POS additional on the light movement, clos ing at net gain of 445 points. The continued cold and rainy weather has curtailed the re- ceipts and it will take some time for the roads to dry out even after the weather be- comes settled. The amount brought into sight for the week points to about I45, ooo against IS2. 900 last year. Secretary Hester. near the close. issued his analysis of the crop to Feb. lst; snowing S1d that Texas had brought into State of 5000, 900 to 3, 100, 900: the Atlantic during the same time has marketed 5000, 900 indicating crop for these States of 4,2oo, Ooo The bureau estimated Texas at 2.7oo 900 and the Atlantics $500. 900. Therefore the analy- sis sis shows that the bureaus estimate is 300, Ooo too small for Texas and 600 900 under Tor the Atlantics. or soc. 900 in the aggre- gate on Texas and the Atlantics alone. As the other Gulf States are conceded by every one to have made much larger crop than last year. and as only 376, ,oo0 more than last year had been marketed to Feb Ist. the chances are that small crop estimate will be abandoned soon, since facts demonstrate that such figures are delusive As long, however & ss receipts are light the probability is values will rule steady.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 6.-Under the indu- ence Of favorable cables there was an active demand for spot cotton today.

WALL STREET REVIEW MARKET SHOWS ACCESS OF AMI
 NATION. The Deals More Widely Distributed Than for Some Time Past-Spec- ulative Sentiment Seems
 More Confident.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The stock market showed access of animation today and the some time past. There were stocks which hung back and some which fell away on profit tax takins 1 aisr recent a c1nsideraoie .n and speculative sentiment seemed much more confident. There was feeling that the i'm proved conditions were due to some develop ment not generally known and the professional traders who, in fact, did not know what they were. were among the largest buyers on the supposition that others who did know were in the market with them. These surmises had to do large extent with possible developments Company. Confident expressions were heard, but on anonymous authority that the decision the admission of the suit to argument. The supositIon also found expression that the projectors of the great merger have an alter
 native plan to falI back on in case of the de- clared illegality of the present company. It was argued that foreign corporation might hold the securities of United States corpora tions and be outside the jurisdiction of the United States laws. The reported formation of a leasing company to control Metropolitan Street Railway on a guarantee of the dividend was not of much benefit to that stock but the evidence thus given of continued planning on the part of capital towards development was an influence on speculation. A social gathering of millionaires in Philadelphia was also made much of. especially men rated as antagonistic were reported to be present on affable terms The importance attached
 the continued predominance of professional op-
 eratons in the market The trading also fnttue InucH or the reuucLlOn m the discount rate of the Bank of England promising a relaxation of the pressure upon New York

 the days movements in detail Southern Pa cihc was largely in the hands of the same speculative interest which has been dealing
 In it recently and the movement in Pennsyl-
 vania was also attributed to this operator.
 The Vanderbilts as group were all strong
 and Toledo, St. Louis and Western stocks
 moved in sympathy with the group on rumored absorption in the Vanderbile interest. The fhaQa
 Lake Erie and Western preferred showing the latter figure. United States Express made a
 further advance of "A. The rise of 71a in Third Avenue was due to comparison with It's price with that of Metropolitan with ulti- mate guarantee of 2 per cent. Illinois Gen. tral was also strong on the general considera- ton of it's price level compared with other
 equal dividend payers. There were a number
 of lower priced and less prominent stocks
 whose special strength was attributed to in- creasing dividend prospects Profit taking
