R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

IBy Special Leased wira.l
 New York. Jan. Swallowing the ad- vance ofA&he week there was the inevita- ble Saturday realizing. Holders who had good profits took them and selling was more tha nenough to supply market wants. Liverpool advanced beautifully at the opening, shooting up points and then losing about all in a way that discour- aged some of the trade here at the open Ing.
 Selling abroad was reported due to profit taking and here to the same cause. Then, too, Houston receipts for Monday loomed up about twice last years total. This encouraged some selling that would not have taken place otherwise. A large quantity of cotton appeared to be for sale at 3-4 and January and March ran along rather close together most of the time.
 Spot sales in the South were very heavy yesterday at full prices and as long as the demand continues in the face of a light movement 1t will be safe to buy cotton on all recessions. There Is likely to be a break Monday. Prices have been rushed rapidly and the market may be cleaned of the short interest to an ex- tent that will let prices down when profit taking Is more general. On a good break again for the break can hardly amount to much all at once Receipts are not on a scale to reassure spinners in a day. It will take a large movement for some weeks to change sentiment We do not believe small crop figures will last all the rest of the season. We look for smaller estimates for 0 time to be fol- lowed by increased estimates later.
 In other words this is only a phase of the cotton situation but phase that can be turned to Hdvantage if one chooses. Sentiment is now bullish. Until the move more we believe in holding to the buying side

MARKETS FOR FUTURES DECLINE OF 6 POINTS AT THE
 OPENING. Due to Disappointing Cables and In dications of Larger Receipts, Despite Unfavorable Weather
 C to 2 Points Off at Close.

New York, Jan. 3.-fhe cotton market opened less active at unchanged prices to decline of points under iiquida- tion due to disappointing cables, and in- dications of larger receipts, despite un- favorable weather. A phase of the gen. eral situation attracting most attention here Is the indication of continued large absorption of cotton as exampled again during the past week, by the increase in the worlds visible supply of American cotton of but 5000 bales, which, with the amount brought into sight would ap- pear to show that the worlds spinners took out of the visible supply about 24l 900 bales. This contrast has led to a steady investment demand, the total visible sup ply of all kinds.Nof cotton having shown an increase for the seven days of 5000 bales against an increase for the core spending week last season of 21b, ,0O0 bales. There was, however, active selling for short account this morning on the ground that the market, having had an advance of nearly l cent, should react
 At the opening cal the market was er- ratio and rather weaker.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

New Orleans, Jan. S.-The weather was cloudy and unsuited for the inspection of cotton and to some extent influenced buyers to remain away from the sample rooms. but the failure of Liverpool to respond adequately to yesterdays ad- more potent reason for the small move ment in the spot market today. Sales. 2.500 bales. including 65O to arrive. Quo tations unchanged. The market for con- tracts was fairly active, and unsettled. Prices at the opening were to points lower. This was followed by rapid fuc- tuations covering range of to points either way. Between the anxiety to take innps in and todaWs od srIv se,srS, sbe rasrs ket was kept in an uncertain attitude throughout the forenoon, and finally brought to a close with the board show ing net losses of but 2 to points from yesterdays level of values.

The Financier's Statement.

New York, Jan. 3.-The New York Financier says:
 The remarkable fine state of the New York clearing house banks for the five days ending January 3rd, is accounted for in part by the fact that the banks reflect the previous weeks in gains in cash which 1t was known they must have made during that period. Accord inging to the official returns Saturday, the banks increased their cash holding almost $5, 100000, which is at least double the indicated gains based upon the known movements of the week. Of the gain in cash, reported in the official statement only |, ,235,500, was in specie, and $4,170,- 800 in legal tender. It is no doubt true that a portion of the cash received was what is known as holiday" money but on the other hand the heavy receipts of legal tenders would seem to show that the movement of money from the interior was responsible for the larger portion of the increased receipts It Is from this course that the long expected relief in money must come as the banks always are large gathers during January from interior institutions. The present turn in the tide Is regarded by borrowers as very important. The prevailing de- mand for funds in New York is an ad- ditlonal inventive to attract funds from the interior.
 The rapid increase the last week had the effect of very nearly equahzlng loans and deposits the excess of the former over the latter having been regarded as an adverse feature of late. The state ments of the banks for two weeks or more probably will be complicated by dividend and in the payments of adjust ments, but this will have but an unim- portant effect in the end. The feature to keep in mind, is that when money rates fall the gold export question will again become prominent. As revealing the temporary influence of dividend dis bursements. 1t may be noted that one of the comparatively small banks increased its specie holdings over 8, ,500, ,000 bring ing It's reserve to 57 per cent. This in- stitution is the depository of very large interests and the money was placed in the banks for check out Saturday, the debit balance on that day at the clear ing house having been sufficient to offset the heavy gain of the week

Chicago Grain and Provisions.


 Chicago. Jan. 3.-There was renewed liquidation in wheat today, due to bearish foreign adVices and the close was easy, with May 1-4a3-S lower. May corn was a shade lower, while oats were a shade 5q7 1-2 to 25 lower. The chief factor af- feSting this wheat pit, was the extremely bearish Argentine advices, Broomhall re- porting exportable surplus of wheat from that country would approximate 80 000, 900 bushels. Liverpool cables were also low CT, due partly to the liberal offerings of Al A1gentine wheat in that market and con- tributed to the general depression. In consequence of these statistics there was considerable realizing, but covering by shorts gave fair support to the market and prevented a severe break. May open ed 1-4 to 3-S lower at 75 to 75 Is, and sold down to "A 3-4 soon after the opening but advanced later to 75 1-2, only to react during the lest half hour, the closing be- ing 1-4Q3-8 lower at 75G75 Is. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 62S, 900 bushels. Primary receipts were 400. 900 bushels against 5S6, 300 year ago. Min neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 25O cars (against holiday at Duluth which with local receipts of 103 cars. one con- tract, made total receipts for three points or S5S against 336 last week and 326 q year ago.

 By Private Wire.l
 New York Jan. 3.-Less snap was shown in the early cotton market. Liver pool was rather disappointing to the local bulls who expect values to move always tu one direction but the more cautious element were by no means discouraged by the absence of more satisfactory cables than one point advance, and confidence in a higher market appears to be as rule extending to circles where much opposi- ton has been displayed so far. The bad weather in the South is made much of just now. but the fact remains that the pleasant spell also failed to bring out cotton. The recent rise should surely swell receipts if it Is possible to do so, but the best informed people see no prob ability of receipts assuming anything more than enough to supply market comparisons with rather moderate figures for last year which will occupy two weeks hence may again lead to restoration of bear confidence but for a brief spell only. Port receipts today indicated around 5S,000 agalnst 54,000 last year. Prices after los- ing to points rallied some. The day 8 business was small. Good buying of May for Southern account was e feature and on a scarcity of sellers soon after the opening, prices rapidly rallied.

POLITENEsS.

1t is reported from Raleigh that mos
senger boy, who was recently summoned
to the establishment of negro, was
asked by the negro II he would remove
hts hat should he enter a private resi-
dence The boy replied that 1t depended
upon whose residence 1t was. BY which
he meant to say, we presume, that he
would not remove his hat If he should en-
ter the residence of a negro.
We hope that the boy readers of this
paper will not initiate that boys example.
It is not necessary to say that this paper
Is opposed to social equality, but polite
ness Is pollteness without distinction of
races, and politencss requires that when
one enters the residence of any man, be
he white or black he shall conform to
the ordinary rules of etiquette. 1t is
incumbent upon the whites to set the
example in all such matters. 1t should be
remembered that when a white man or
a white boy is guilty OF an act of rude
ness toward a negro the reflection is not
upon tho negro, but upon the good man
ners of the offender. No man loses any
thing by acting the part of gentleman
In all his dealings and without respect
to persons.

AN ERRONEOUS HEADLINE.

In The Times Dispatch Of September
GARD appeared an item OF political news
from Louisa, Va. headed Robert a.
Crawford. an Independent Candidate"
The headline was erroneous and mis-
leading, as there was nothing In the body
of the special to indicate that Mr. Craw-
ford was running az an independent. On
the contrary, 1t was plainly stated by
our correspondent that Mr.. Crawford
was a candidate for the nomination for
the House OF Delegates subject to tho
primary election which will be held at
each OF the voting precincts In the
county on October 10th, between the
hours OF 10 A. M. and P. M.
Mr.. Crawford was the nominee Of the
Democratic County Convention In 1901
to represent Louisa in the House OF
Delegates. but resigned the nomination
at that time at the instance OF many OF
the party leaders and friends for the
sake OF more perfect harmony In the
party ranks, thus sacrificing his own
personal ambitions to the good Of DEM
ocracy. He now comes before the party
again seeking the nomination, but, ms
already stated, will submit his claims TO
the primary and abide by the result.

Father Doherty declared that such men
desecrated the house of God by their
action, and IL they continued the nuisance
their room was more desirable than their
company. He further declared that while
he had pretty fair idea of the identity
of the spitters he would employ detec-
tive to attend services and report them
to him. These reports he proposed to
read to the congregation and would cause
the arrest of the guilty parties as viola
splitting In public buildings
Hurrah for Father Doherty! He is do
Ing splendid work for public decency,
and we wish that other preachers In
every community would follow his exam
pie. 1t is a shame that men will go into
the house of God and soil the building
by splitting on the floor. 1t is bad enough
to commit this nuisance In ordinary
buildings. but when the nuisance Is COM
mitted In the house of God 1t becomes
a dissertation. We have great sympathy
with those who love tobacco. but the
man who cannot control his appetite while
he is In church must be an abject slave.
and he ought to be ashamed to make a
public confession Of such weakness. 1t
Is a reflection upon the refinement and
good manners Of the southern people that
our public buildings and sidewalks are
kept in such an indecent condition, and 1t
behooves every decent man, whether he
be preacher or not. to aid the authorities
in enforcing the law against the filthy
habit of splitting. The contrast in the
matter Of cleanliness between towns and
cities of the South and those of New
England is striking to the point of hu-
initiation to the southern man who goes
abroad. The South has much to boast Of,
but in thrift. in public cleanliness and
public ornamentation we are far behind
the North.
