Especial to News and Observer
New York Jan. 15.-Liverpool came in
fairly we'll this morning and our mar
ket opened a trifle above yesterdays
close with outside buying disappoint-
ingly small. The ton showed resistance
to pressure and active speculation is
necessary to advance prices rapidly
Later in the session there was some
short covering and buying by foreign
houses and exporters. Spinlers report
good conditions in the South with no
cotton offered below recent prices and
many of the recent offers being with
flrawr. ,TraJng lis mot along broad
lines as yet and with outside speculative
interest reviving there would be no trou-
BILE in having a rapid advance with the
statistical position as strong as it is.

Cotton Letter
(Snecial to News and Obser

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Jan. 15-The market today
was decidedly more satisfactory to every
one. Two days ago we were discouraged
Yesterday we picked up heart and today
confess ourselves satisfied with every
thing generally. There is nothing in
this to give much satisfaction, not as
much as there is likely to be in another
week or two. We may be entirely wrong
about this market, but it seems to us as
though nothing could prevent higher
prices. When you look at the situation
the movement, the visible supply, the
absence of speculation, and reflect a
moment, the situation seems too
favorable to be true. All that is neces-
sary is a good buying wave, and things
would hum. This may not come yet, and
it may never come, but unless more
cotton comes in sight, prices will work
higher without speculation. If the pres
ent lull can hold a few days and still
no great increase in receipts, some of
this cotton sold short will have to be
covered. Then prices will move without
much trouble, AS it is We would con-
tinue the policy of buying on every weak
spot, looking for a slow market, but
one gradually working higher A day
or two of activity will bring in more
buying, to our mind, but until the mark
ct does get active, we would continue
the conservative and cautious buying that
has been advised for two weeks now.
The January market is the reverse of the
December market. Receipts are moder-
ate and in sight figures will not help
shorts this week. On a bulge in the
morning one can sell for profits, but we
would pick the cotton up again on any
break

New Orleans. Jan. 15.-Spot cotton con-

The trading in futures today was mod
crate in volume. The trend of prices
was decidedly favorable to the longs
Liverpool showed gain of four points
on spots and net two to four points on
deliveries, offering the initiative for a
moderate Improvement on this side and
influencing first call advances of two to
four points. After the opening the
market moved up a point or two on
the several months and then hung fire
for a while but later on stiffened and
scored additional gains that left prices
Mt the close II to II points higher than
yesterdays closing.

While prices may go higher during tli9

Demand for Cotton Fed by
Profit Selling.
PRICES DANCING UPWARD
A Net Advance of From Seven 10 Nine Poins--
Long Operations are Pushed by Small
Movement and Heavy Cor
sumption.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York. Jan. 15.-The dry good:
market continues firm throughout for al
descriptions of cotton goods in leading
lines. The demand shows no materia
change. Print cloths are firm, narrow
odds in better request. Local jobbnf
trade is expanding numerous buyers
coming to town.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Jan. 15-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of one to four
points and developed great activity ahe
strength. Shorts were active buyers 1T
is claimed that the leading bear operator
covered freely during the session. selilhs
TO secure profits supplied most OF tue
demand which was very great from all
sources and finally closed the market
firm at about the best level OF the SEES
sion, the net advance being to points.
At the best prices today the mark'At
was above the point at which the leader
of the late bull movement announced mis-
change to a bearish view on the ground
that the strong statistical position OF
cotton had been already over discounted.
Since that time, however, the movement
of cotton has been so small and the con-
sumption SO heavy that renewed opera
tions on the long side of the account
have steadily advanced the speculative
schedule, while the demand from spin
ners and exporters has been such as to
keep the spot level at point showing /
premium over the future list at New
York, phase of the situation attracting
heavy speculative demand towards the
centre. The total transactions in fu-
lures today reached about 1000 bales,
representing the best of the market OF
recent time. The local contingent bought
quite freely this afternoon on the eX-
pectation of full response by Liverpool
tomorrow on the ground that the English
market has of late been holding lead
ing relation to the upward movement,
a heavy demand for spot cotton from Eu-
ropean and continental spinners. Accord
ing to private cables the strength at
Liverpool today was partly accounted for
by the reported destruction CT fifteen
thousand bales of cotton by fire.

nnInncs OF waters.

The principal Palace Of Waters Is an
immense hail which stretches In mys-
terious grandeur far beneath the city
of ConstantinOple. Its roof Is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart. and their capitals
are deliberately wrought
This marvellous building springs
from an expanse Of waters which I'M
derlies the foundations Of the city for
miles. It's origin and extent have been
shrouded in mystery ever since Its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some Of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace of waters was the
stately Palace Of Ice which was built
in 1880 at the command Of Anne, en-
press of Russia, to honor the nuptals
of the Prince Gallitzin and a simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, IN
rooms of which the walls and furnl-
ture and bed were constructed wholly
of frozen water.

"John, buy a magnet while you're
out. Ruth has lost the old one" said
the head Of a big dressmaking estab-
lishment TO her GRAND boy.
'Wbat do you do with magnets
hereY" a woman who was being fitted
asked.
I'VE find needles with them"
'HOw do you meanT
every day It naturally happens that
my forty-fve assistants drop a great
many needles on the floor. To stop and
look for these needles would take time.
They are all left lying, therefore, TIL
the days end, when cleaner goes over
the room with a magnet, holding 1t
close to the floor. Every lost needle in
stantly, then. jumps up on the steel
and in that way all are recovered In q
few minutes. To recover them by any
other means would take nj least an
hour"-Phlladelphia Record.

Desert Gems.

In 1880 a hunter In the northwest OF
New South Wales wounded a kaDga-
roo. The animal went off through the
mulga and the salt bush ut pace too
fast for the hunter to follow and was
soon out of sight. The hunter was a
bushman and did not despair. He fol
lowed the blood trail, hopeful OF &
short search and n speedy bag. At on
point of the pursuit It may be that th'
trail grew faint and neccssitated
closer Inspection. Anyway the huntel
stopped and picked up piece OF stone
This he examined. The red spot was
not on It, It was in IT. 1t was nos
blood that he saw; It was opal. Sucl
was the beginning of the White Cliff
opal fields.
