vices were not encouraging, therefore
our market opened 1 to 2 lower, but
advanced shortly after on fresh buy
ing. Later in the session longs realiZ-
ing, and the absence of a speculative
short interest caused a decline of to 6
from the top making the net loss to
points on the day. While there was
a good demand for spots to-day to fill
up January shipments the trading was
done on an easier basis than for sew
eral days past. The amount to be
brought into sight for the week is ex-
pected to show a large relative loss as
compared to last year. Outside spec
ulation is lacking, and little or no dis
position is shown by this element to en-
ter the market above cents. The
trade as a whole. however. continues
very bullish and believes in higher
prices ultimately. Mr.. Ellison of Liv-

mating the Consumption of American

on a crop of 1880, 900, provided prices

Thursday, Jan. 29.
The demand for spot cotton continues
q feature of the markets, and is large
w the basis of recent strength that
has carried prices upward. Around
present prices there appears to be a
fairly good demand for cotton, and
the current belief is that the balance
of this crop will be snapped up at pres
ent prices.
Mr.. Ellison of Liverpool came out
to-day with his expected circular on
American consumption, which he puts
this season at 1O,900,000 to 11,OOO0 900
bales, based on crop of 1880, 900. He
estimates that this will be the con-
sumption, provided prices remain
around their present level.
In the interior the offerings are re-
ported limited, hence prices at the mo-
ment are being well maintained. Elk
pressing an opinion on the market, one
man said that he believed there are
times when speculation helps, but at
present the market seems quite able
10 take care of itself with the impetus
it gets from the supply and demand.
Turpentine closed firm at 611zc bid.
The tendency of the market is still
distinctly upward. Resins closed firm
at the prices given elsewhere. The
wholesale markets closed steady. Re-

Dear Sir: It's an old saying: the

or.
It happens to us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
-he has painted 1t once in three years
for dog 's-age, and thinks he knows
what he wants-buys 30 gallons. ano
has 10 left.
He sees right-off that 20 of Devoe II
as much as 30 of any thing else. He
likes that it comes quick is is a sur
prise he tells of it. The best adver-
tisement is a pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There ism,
a sign that his house reeds paint, hi
don't paint it. Next year he don't
paint it. This comes slow it is a sur
prise but he has got used to it. Still
the best advertisement is a pleasee
customer.
