New York, Feb. 3.-Traders pursue the
policy of buying on every little break
for a reaction This policy has proved
profitable all the season. But if this
movement keeps IN we are afraid buy
ers will not find a ready market ut an
advance some day when they least ex-
pect it. No break of Importance should
take place this week as everyone eN-
poets the large movement, but when the
figures really show up and holders are
inclined TO take profits the market may
not show resistance. That is all ont
should expect is a halt in the advance
this week and a little setback. May
could easily get back to $40, which
would mean but a quarter of a cent re-
action. Then would come the test a
great many have bought the cotton be-
ing sold above 34c on the theory that
receipts will not compare favorably Ia
ter in the month Should the movement
continue large and these holders at
tempt to realize, the situation would look
very different. We cannot see anything
in the market to ask you to buy cotton
on at the moment. From anything wv
can see the price is likely to be lower
later in the week and as long as advicca
are against the market We arc not will
ing to advise buying against the ten
dency of DEVELOPMENTS. One week at
time Next week the outlook may APP
pear more favorable for BUYERS On a
good break in the morning buy for a few
points. The tendency is towards lower
level at the moment.
New York spot market today was quiet
and 5-1OO lower; middling uplands 900;
m!ddling gulf 925.
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-
lows.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb 3.-The professional
element amongst the traders contested
the apathetic condition of the stoc *
market today and developed some show
of strength and activity before the close
of the day. There was a very mea5re
outside following and very little news
on which to base the movement. The
reactionary tendency during the morn
ing became dominant and the profess
SIGNALS apparently resigned themselves
to the neglected condition of the mar
ket. The movement in the Wabash Sc
curities led the way out of the lethargy
of speculation. These stocks made Il
slight advance at the opening on the
strength of the news from Pittsburg
that the franchise for the companies
entrance to the city had been favorably
acted upon by the City Council, but the
stocks fell back again and the debenture
bonds particularly suffered from real
izing The late movement was organiz-
ed and had no fresh news to go on. One
of the depressing factors early in the
day was the weakness of New Yorl;
Central, which was also without news 20
account fer it. This movement was the
result of characteristic traders cam
ragn. Yesterdays selling of Penlsyl-
Vania on the score of conversion priv
leSe for the bends carried the price of
Pennsylvania stock below that of New
York Central, whereas it ruled con-
stantly above that stock for d long time
Fast. For this reason traders sold New
York Central and bought Pennsylvania
today. The news OF the illness of :he
King of England was an influence in the
early dullness. as was also the renewed
hitch in the proceedings for a settle
ment OF the Venezuelan difficulties.
The December statement of the Penn
sylvania lines both east and west of
Pittsburg was so clear a demonstration
of the prevailing tendency of railroad
expenses to encroach upon net earnings
that the effect was rather depressing.
Sterling exchange was quite ominously
strong and it was said that the freight
blockades and the cutting down of the
grain movement had resulted in a scar
city of grain bills in the exchange mar
ket. At the same time the prevailing
ease of money is an inducement to Dor
rowers from foreigners to pay off ma
turing obligations abroad The exchange
market eased eighty at the close. The
growing plenty of loanable funds was
probably the basis for the attempt to
advance prices of stocks. The rate for
call loans fell below per cent during
the day The state of ease is due In
large part to the determined quietude oil
the speculation. A rumber of the metal
stocks were conspicuously strong in to-
days market. The advancing tendency
of the copper market, the measures to

New Orleans. Feb. 3.-Liverpool ad-
vices were disappointing, therefore our
market in sympathy opened two to four
points lower and declined one to two ad-
ditional later on the large port and in
terror receipts coupled to the quieter
feeling prevalent in spots Near the close
fresh buying and the absence of sellers
occa sioned an advance of nine from the

on the day. The port receipts for the
four DAYS aggregate 100000. against g.

a continuance of free receipts for the
balance of the week. Sentiment is very

the increased movement but outsiders
still positively refused to come in around
9 cents and are not eager buyers for the
moment and will probably restrict their
takings from now out. The market is
in a rut awaiting new developments be-
fore taking any decided turn. Should re-
ceipts continue to increase values Will
seek a lower level or enhance If there
is any indication of a relative decrease

New York, Feb. 3.-There has been a

considerable part of which has to go un-
filled Prices are very firm. Regular

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. Feb 3.-Cotton opened easy
at a decline of to points and con-
tinued very quiet but displayed rather
easy tone during most of the session
Just before the close there was a little
buying which rallied the market slightly
and the close was steady at net loss
OF to points Sales were estimated
at about 100000 bales.
The initial prices were the result OF
selling for both accounts based on the
disappointing Liverpool cables which,
due to come about unchanged to one
point higher on our closing of yesterday,
reported a partial decline and con-
tinued to decline, closing 1-2 to .
points lower. This year the larger move
ment to the ports which the early esti-
mate placed at 41,000 bales as COM
pared with 1926 bales last year natur-
ally restricted fresh purchases for an
advance while on the other hand the
strong advices from the various dry goods
markets and the general strength of the
statistical position renders the shorts
cautious.

Address on China.

Robert E. Lewis of Shanghai spoke in
Music Hall Sunday evening to large
and appreciative audience upon "The
Problems of China" Secretary Dillon
opened the meeting by brief song SER
vice, after which Wellington H. Tinker
read the scriptures and offered prayer.
Mrs. Don c. Stiles then sang solo and
the speaker of the evening was intro
duced by Rev. DIR. Edward T. Fairbanks.
Mr.. Lewis began by saving that no
place except his own native town in YER
mont was dearer to him than St. Johns
years in Association work. He said that
the Chinese had said for centuries that
they would have no entangling European
alliances. The European first forced an
entrance into China, and then the So
called Christian nations went farther
and forced from China integral parts of
Burrah. First the English took Bur-
nah, then the French took Cambodla
and AMMAN. Siam was advised by the
French and English to declare her in
dependence. Then Russia swept down
like a glacier and took land and has
now practically annexed Manchura.
Germany and England took slice OF
territory and now the European nations
have 100000 square miles, territory
eight times as large as Germany.
Sir Robert Hart said the salvation of
China was Christianity. There are now
