MISCELLANEOUS

NEW YORK COTTON, Feb 2-The cotton
market opened quiet at decline Of point:
picked up this small loss, and then developed
more pronounced weakness, within the first hour
recording decline of 4 points on the general
list. The weakness was in good part due to un-
satisfactory cables in the face of support for
Liverpool in the way of large buying orders from
New York. The local weakness was increased Ey
the expectation of a materially large movement
during the week.
6 points lower nndel struggling sales Of long
cotton and absence of public support.
Spot, dull; middlng uplands, &C.; mfddlng
Estimated receipts at the ports to-day were
$4,000 bales, against 81 COZ last week and 1857
pared with 1S4,161 last week and 126,307 last

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Whallon, Case & Co., from New York: There
is good buying Of Erie stocks: also Of Delaware
& Hudson If any stocks are going up these
will be in the lead Big business boing done in
Pennsylvania convertible bonds and the stock
buying the convertible at 1861 and selling the
stock at 150A. shows an apparent profit of about
per cent, but you have to carry the bonds and
borrow for the stock for about six weeks.
New York to Whallon, Case & Co.: There
is very little feature to the market owing TO
lack of confidence both account OF the Ven
ezuelan question and the possibility OF labor
troubles. Am told from good source that San

UNION FACTORY WAS POPULAR.
Rice Mercantile Cigar Company DID
Big Business Last Year.

Among the many manufacturing fnstitu-
tions who have made wonderful headway
in the City of st. Louis. can he mentioned
the cigar factory of the F. r. Rice Mercan-
only met with immense success the
Mercantile Decent cigar, but also on the
'3G5' and Agent 5-cent cigars. and there
l is no question that a great part of this rapid
growth on the Mercantile and other brands
of cigars is. to a great extent. due to the
fact that the firm has not only got an ele-
giant force of first-Clasa statesmen. who are
extremely popular with the trade and who
working with full heart for the sue
cess of the firm but also because the fac
tory has one of the best force of cigarmak-
crs
This feeling was clearly demon strated
when the firm found that they were unable
to get enough frSt-class cigarmakers to fill
before the ciearmakers they at once de-
cided. being that they could not furnish
enough men when the orders We're piling up
I'm the house. that they would sacrifice a few
of their Sundays and make exception.
which has never been done before by the
Cigarmakers' Union, TO work for firm on
4 Sunday.
The sales OF the firm last year were the
largest in the history of their business. and
the Increase is due TO the fact that the fac
tory absolutely refuses TO give out any
schemes whatever either in the way OF free
cigars. cigar lighters or cutters. Everything
is added to the quality of the cigar. and the
