 NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-There was little doing In the early local market today. Hesitation was displayed here. at Liverpool and New Orleans. Prices opened a shade lower in some instances, but there was an utter absence of business. This resulted from the matter of receipts regarding which no two persons agree. One side has 1t that there is nothing remaining to be marketed and that the preesnt movement represents the tail-end of the crop. Others con- tend that there Is plenty more to come and that 1t will continue to come for weeks and months. There is no telling which view is the correct one. We have no safe guide for ac- tion except that the actual movement so far and this is quite bullish and admitting that the much -talked-of unmarketed cotton will reach much a quarter million bales, which Is very liberal allowance, the ques- tion arises where is crop larger than eleven million to come from. There was more less rain in the South today. Port receipts were estimated at 34. 900. against 20 900 last year. NeiIl again estimating the size of the crop. but his statement was wholly ignored. Cables were steady 1 point decline. Man chester was quiet. but steady. Our market closed steady at an advance of 99io points over yesterday.

 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 4.-This was day of disappointment In the cotton market, in which both des participated. Liverpool was first to furnish disappointment to the buying side by reporting a slight decline in prices of both spots and deliveries. whereas better was expected from that source, but sellers were not overlooked in the matter of surprises, for shortly after the opening decline prices took an upward turn under the influence of di- unfinished offerings and the steadiness was sub sequently stimulated by encouraging reports from the New York dry goods market Re ceipts continue libei all but the effect of this feature seems to have been largely discounted. Speculative transactions have moderated in quantity. due presumably to the desire of traders to watch the course of receipts but 1t Is the steadiness of prices in the face of such speculative inactivity which creates the belief that there Is underlying strength in the sltua- ton of a distinctly substantial character. Spot transactions continue fair notwithstanding the general anticipation of quietness in that de- pertinent, and trade reports are certainly not of a nature to encourage the expectation of a serious drop in demand for cotton from the regular souces,

NEW YORK YACHT CLUB
WOULD NOT SHARE HONOR
Inside Story of Emperor Williams
Withdrawal of the Cup Offer.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Although the rea-
sons of Emperor William for withdraw
ing his offer of a cup for trans At
lantfc yacht race are regarded by his
yachting advisers as sufficient. there
were other considerations that made a
withdrawal of the trophy for next sea-
son the easiest way out of the tangle
caused by the inability of the New
York Yacht club and the Atlantic Yacht
club to agree on the subject.
The original purpose of Emperor
William was to have the race for the
cup managed Jointly by the New York
Yacht club and the Atlantic Yacht club,
of both of which clubs he is a mem
Der, and the Royal Yacht squadron Of
CoWes and the Imperial Yacht club of
Kiel. Previously Sir Thomas Upton
had offered a cup to the Atlantic Yacht
club for an ocean race in 1894, but
learning that Emperor William desired
to give a trophy, Commodore Tod, of
the Atlantic Yacht club, sent a cable
gram to Sir Thomas, asking him if he
would withdraw and permit the en-
peror to offer cup. Commodore Tod'S
cablegram was marked private" Sir
Thomas, however, on Oct. q tele-
graphed Emperor William his with
drawal and the emperor supposing from
Sir Thomas telegram that everything
had been arranged in the United States
replied TO Sir Thomas on Oct %, thank
ing him for his magnanimity, saying
that he would have his ambassador
offer cup.
The inability of the New York Yacht
club and the Atlantic Yacht club to
agree with regard to the matter was
met by a proposal made by Emperor
William last week that he would give
a cup in 1904 to the Atlantic Yacht
club, provided the New York Yacht
club would enter it's yachts in the race,
and one to the New York Yacht club
in 1906 for race in which the Atlantic
Yacht club would enter, thus avoiding
joint management of the cup This
was not satisfactory to the New York
Yacht club, and the emperor therefore
withdrew his offer, as the time is now
too short to get new boats ready for
a race next year

CLEVELAND AFTER
GOTHAM BOWLERS
Attempt Being Made to Bring
East TO the National
Tournament.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Nov. 29.-Pres-
ident John York, of the Cleveland
Bowling association, is making ex-
traordinary efforts to interest the
bowlers of Greater New York in the
national championship tournament to
be held next February in Cleveland.
Mr. York has issued special invita-
ton to the Eastern men, and, while he
has undertaken a big task, reports
from the East would indicate that his
efforts may bear fruit. Enough in
terest has been stirred up in New
York to start the bowlers discussing
the proposition, and local men would
not be surprised to see New York well
represented in the big annual event
next year. Only two men were en-
tered from Greater New York in the
Indianapolis tourney, but at that time
the absence of the Gothamites was at
tributed to the long journey as much
as to the loaded ball question. If Mr..
York succeeds in bringing the Eastern
cracks into line he will be credited
with a notable accomplishment.
Western tenpin men would like to see
the Fasteners compete in the next
years affair." as without the Gotham
ties it loses some of its national as
poets, as well as losing the inter-city
rivalry between Chicago and New York.
Since the Fasteners split with the
Western men two years ago at the
Buffalo convention they have not taken
any active participation in the affairs
of the congress, organizing instead a
local association in New York to gov
ern their affairs.
The chief reason for the split be-
tween the East and the West was the
loaded ball, and while the present
rules limit the weight of a bah to
161a pounds, the New Workers insist
on an atwood ball However, the
men in the metropolis are still rolling
under the A. B. c. rules and regula-
tons, and while a few leagues retained
their membership in the national Or
| ganiZation last year. they failed to en-
ter team in the Indianapolis events.
With the adoption of the new constitu-
ton and bylaws by the A. B. c. the
situation as to membership has been
changed entirely. Formerly the A. B.
c. was composed of leagues, but now
it deals exclusively with clubs through
CITY associations.
