New Orleans. Jan. 22.-The market for
spot cotton opened with a good demand
and firm under the influence of a gain
of four points at Liverpool but as soon
as it became known that the English
market had been misled, the inquiry
slackened. sales 6.4OO bales. Quotations
unchanged.
In TIE contract market in response to
Liverpool prices opened to 6 points up
hut it soon transpired that Liverpool
had been influenced by rumors of a heavy
failure in New Orleans involving 80, 900
bales of spot cotton, and prices on the
other side began to ease off, and this
market fell into line, working down four
to six points. After the second call
prices moved up five points on all active
positions during the late afternoon there
was some little sagging and losses of a
point or two were scored, but this de-
cline was only in the nature of the usual
meaningless fluctuations. The close
showed a decline of 1 to 2 points on the
various positions.
Note.-The failure of T. f. French,
cotton buyer, was announced today The
trade regard the failure as of small mo-
ment.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
II ls now i'm order TO- those Southern
States that make a practice OF burning
criminals or those suspected of crime
at the stake TO point the finger Of deri-
sion az Delaware. That they win ac-
cept the occasion with great glee cannot
be doubted.
Was all this justified? No. The law
has been broken ana those who .partici-
pated in the killing have laid them
selves open to prosecution for a. serious
offonsc. Tho motive of the mobs was
to see to IL that the law should not be
cheated of the murderer, but they have
taken this law into their own hands.
have become criminals in turn and have
brought rcproach upon the State Of
Delaware.
But there IS one lesson to be learned
and il ought TO be taken to heart seri-
ously. not only i'm Delaware. but every
where else. A crime such as this negro
committed is not easily borne by any
community. In all such cases. in all

practically no doubt justice should
