STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 16.-Backing and fill
ing was the favorite term to express the
condition of today'S stock market, which
reflected the same state of bewilderment
that has been evident in the speculative
mind for several days past The deal
ings fell away further and the trading
was quite apathetic. The few stocks
which developed a show of strength had
very little sympathetic effect upon the
list in general, and their own gains were
but poorly held. The most prominent of
these was Missouri Pacific, which seem
ed to be affected by prevailing gossip
that the great Missouri Pacific project
was to be announced at an early date.
Reading was advanced and Southern
Railway. Atchison, Sugar and few less
conspicuous stocks had their periods OF
strength Although the earlier events
of the week we're considered to demon
strate that thare was no immediate
prospect of attracting public interest to
the market, the professionals show them
selves exceedingly wary OF venturing to
go short of the market. Covering OF
some of the short lines put out early In
the week was an effective factor In
holding prices firm in today's exceeding
ly dull market The mystery attaching
to Erie served to intimidate the bears
The enormous volume of dealings in this
stock at the higher levels was believed
to point to manipulation and realizing
But it's firmness since and the continued
rurnors regarding it point to some de-
velopment going on. The apparent policy

amount brought into sight during the
week was $4,000 against 100000 last
year, and the aggregate marketed from
September first to date has been 7,449,-
900 against 7,425 900 last year. The Wis
ible supply of all kinds during the week
increased $4,000 against a decrease OF
1000 last year of which the American
increased :. 800 against a decrease of H.
coo last year The total visible supply
of American is now 1921 900 against
700 600 last year The thirty leading
interior towns received during the week
1874 900 against 143, 900 last year. The Wis
ible supply during the week has gained
IS 900 relatively over last year and the
receipts at the interior towns this week
are the largest during the past five years.
In addition to this the takings of Amer
lean cotton by the spinners of the world
to date are only $50, 600 in excess of last
wear, a reduction of 81, 900 in the aggre
gate having been made this week The
strong statistical position. the reduction
of crop estimates and the theory that
the consumption of American cotton Will
be about II $50, 900 have been instrument
tai in causing an advance of over a cont.
The situation this week has been weak
cned and it looks as if summers with
their large reserve stocks will not follow
the advance. If this policy is pursued
nv them for few weeks it Will make a
radical change in the statistical position.
ANYTHING unfavorable to the article
around present prices may preclpltate
decline; therefore we again urge our
friends TO operate conservatively and on
~ buy on sharp breaks. Receipts ana the
demand for spots will regulate the tu-
turc course of values. H. & b. BEER.

New York. Jan. 16.-As we predicted
within the last twenty-four hours, prices
have gained a considerable advance. 1t
was due to the fact that foreign spin
ners have finally realized that the cot
ton now held is not obtainable except at
full prices. Therefore, they are willing
to pay approximately what cotton is
worth, as indicated by the advance in
Liverpool and our higher prices today.
After every advance profit realizing
occurs, and of course there was a reac-
ton, but it could be noted that the buy
ing was largely from more concentrated
ard stronger sources; furthermore that
speculation is not taken as much into
account now as it has been heretofore.
though the fact that spot cotton in the
South is bringing higher prices relatively
than contracts in the New York mar
kcts.
If it is, as it has been intimated, that
A prominent bull interest heretofore is
now short of the market, it is evident
that the contracts held by this party
will he Inundated at much higher prices
Conservative interests and parties not
heretofore on the long side of cotton
have been buying freely today upon the
reaction

New York. Jan. 16.-The cotton market
opened at an advance of to points and
ruled fairly active, largely on general
public demand, while the more protes-
sional class of traders were disposed te
take profits If long of cotton or to sell
for short account on a belief that while
the statistical position remained one OF
remarkable strength it had been over
discounted in the more than one cent ad
vance which has occurred here since No
vember ID, when May cotton sold at 49,
with that position today reaching 800 AT
the strongest interval todays market
showed an advance of to 10 points, after
which there was a weaker period under
the heavy sales to secure profits with
the market finally steady at a net loss
of 1 point to a net gain of / point. Total
sales were about 100000 bales for the
day. Selling for short account was ar
rested by the strong weekend figures
shown in this country and abroad, the
Liverpool stocks being 2S1 900 short of
last years with the amount afloat 74,00e
short of last year, while Superintendent
King made the amount of cotton brought
into sight for the week, and the amount
for the season less than last years, the
weekly contrast being sos, 632, against
325,372, and for the season 7,501,11S,
against 1920, 906. Selling was also held
in check by strong reports from the spot
cotton markets of the country, the range
showing an advance of from Lice. to
3-S6, on demand from exporters and
spinners, while reports reaching here in
Dictated that Southern mills and New
England mills were pretty well sold
ahead on goods while holding moderate
reserves of raw material. In the after
noon, however, the disposition to secure
profits on speculative accounts over
balanced all other conditions and the

New Orleans, Jan. 16.-The spot cotton
market was not so active TODAY at it has
been for some days past, owing to the
fact that rainy weather made satisfac-
tory inspection of samples an impossi-
bility. Orders are now beginning to come
in more freely from Spinners. Sales
Also bales. Quotations advanced life
In the market for contracts there was
brisk movement during the forenoon
and while March, May and July seirly
monopolized attention quite a number
OF the other months were traded in. At
the opening prices were to points off.
but enthusiastic buying followed the call
and sent the figures five to eight poin
higher. At the level New YORK. prokp
to points on realizing and this mar
ket followed. Then came the report that
operators in New York were selling
heavily and break followed that was
made more precipitate when it developed
that instead of a decrease there had been
a healthy visible supply. These two in
f'uences gave the bears the whip and
prices were forced down to points
from the noon call. There was eonsid-
cradle realizing BIZ room shorts and
prices BEGAN a series of mild fluctuations
that left them standing at the sound OF
the closing gong on two points net below

Silver Service for Cruiser

New York, Feb. Mayor Gaus and
committee of representative citizens
from Albany visited the navy yard to-
day and madeethe presentation of a
magnificent solid silver service to the
cruiser named in honor of their city.
The Albany was built in England
more than four years ago, but could
not be got across the Atlantic in time
for service in the Spanish war. She
went direct from England to the Phil
ippines, and thus the presentation of
the silver service has been delayed
until the present time.
The silver service is one of the most
magnificent gifts ever presented to a
warship of the United States navy. 1t
is of sixty-five pieces and cost $4,000.
The inscriptions are etched, all the
pieces are finished in a soft gray, and
each piece has a seal of the navy and
the coat of arms of Albany. The new
city hall and the old city hall are etch-
ed on the meat and game platters. The
Jardiniere has a reproduction of the
new capitol, with one of the cruiser on
the opposite side. The latter also ap-
pears on vegetable dish with the AL
bany postoffice on the other. On an
other vegetable dish are reproductions
of the old state house and the old cor
vette, Albany. The beaver knawing at
PROSTATE trees is cast and applied in
relief on the covers of the entree
dishes. On all covers is etched the
fish net, symbolizing Fuycktown, or
the old time Albany.
