CALL SHOWED A DECLINE

CALL SHOWED A DECLINE

New York, February B.-The cotton
market had firmer opening, cables being
better than expected by about point,
with the weather conditions in the south,
as far as heard from. very bad, and
early ideas regarding the movement lead
ing to fears of small receipts. The first
call showed a decline of points on No
vember, with the later months, however,
showing an advance OF to points.
Shorts were very uneasy right after the
call, as 1t appeared that the pool con-
tingent was prepared to absorb all offer
ings. The spot cotton markets of the
south were reported as weaker with a
more or less general desire to sell, and a
subsiding demand from spinners, while
spectators long of cotton were more dis
posed to liquidate. The market soon ruled
easy here,s and selling became more or
less general, the result of which was a
decline to a level of 1 to points under
the closing figures of the previous day
within the first hours trading.

ROBERT GRANT READ.
Noted BostOnian Appears Before the
Contemporary Club.

Robert Grant, of Boston, who is one Of
the best-known writer's of the East as well
as a Judge of one of the Boston courts,
gave a reading from his own writings be-
fore the Contemporary Club last evening
at the Propylaeum. Judge Grant read only
from two of his books, "Unleavened Bread"
and the Opinions of a Philosopher" This
was his first appearance in Indianapolis.
In fact, he seldom goes on the platform,
his literary and legal work occupying his
time almost to the exclusion OF anything
else, but he was persuaded to come West,
and those who heard him last night nope
that he may be induced to return.
Judge Grant is a typical Bostonian- He
was born in that city, educated at Har-
ward, and has lived in the Hub all his
life. His literary work was begun while
he was law student, and since he has
been engaged in the practice of his profess
sion he has found time to write several
