LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton market advanced one sixteenth yesterday. The wagon receipts were good for Monday, being 50 bales.
 Owing to the state holiday there was practically no change in the stock and bond market.
 The produce market was unusually dull yesterday, but the merchants say it is just what they expect as the market is always more or less dull for thirty days after the holidays.
 Eggs are scarce at 23 cents for cold storage and 24 cents for the fresh stock
 Chickens, too are scarce and command from 20 to 25 cents for flyers and 30 to 35 cents for hens.
 California oranges are plentiful, being quoted at from 8 to $3.25 a box.
 Other produce staples are firm, with quotations unchanged.

Cotton Letter.

Gilbert 6 Clay's Letter to Cothran & Go.
 New Orleans, January 19-Cable news was again quite favorable Liverpool re- ported fair additional advance In both departments and Manchester was said to be doing healthy business with a prospect of it's continuance for an ex- tended period.
 Early trading here was marked by a good demand from various suorces un- der the influence of reported active iA- quiry in the interior for spots and initial transactions were effected at a moderate advance. Profit realizing subsequently forced setback but the tone held very steady. Closing prices are about 1 point lower than Saturday. Trading in the cotton market continues in an active state and favorable opinions about the ultimate course of prices are freely ex- pressed. The question of receipts how ever, is likely to rule foremost again as there is a promise of clearer weather in the south. which may afford the move ment an opportunity to proceed in normal way, and operators are sure to observe that period with special inter- est

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, January Unsatisfactory cables when New York opened led to a higher local level to the extent of a few points. although there was no great eager ness to buy or to sell. Later on the mar ket was irregular and business on the whole was only on moderate scale
 The weather south, as a rule, was fair but very cold and this was being used by bears, who insisted that 1t would be reflected in a smaller movement Com parisons with last years figures will help shorts for while, but there Is nothing more to lead one to suppose the move ment is going to be heavy than the fact that it has not been heavy up to this time.
 Spinners are growing restless and Amer isan representatives of foreign houses while talking of plenty of cotton to come forward are not satisfied with current movement. Good cotton is scarce and if

BUYING ORDERS
 TOOK THE LEAD Cotton Opened Steady at 2 to
 5 Points Higher SALES OF FUTURES LARGE Selling Was Stimulated By Indications of Larger Receipts at the Ports for the Day-Another Feature
 Was Large Exports.

New York. January 19-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of to D points, and later business increased the advance to 5@7 points. The improve ment was due to cables that were regard ed as favorable with public interest still supplying the market with buying orders. Private cables stated that the English market was based largely upon favorable conditions, which led to active specula- tive buying at Liverpool. Later the local market became quite weak under realiz- ing and certain bear pressure, under which prices sold off to Saturdays close. But again public buying orders took the lead and prices rapidly advanced with the market in the afternoon particularly firm. The close was steady at net rise of 1 to 5 points Total sales of futures estimated at 22o,OO0 bales. The selling for short account was largeiy upon the as- sumption that the strong statistical posi- ton had been over-dscounted, and that the long interest had become too great and too widely extended. The selling was further stimulated by indications of larger receipts. at the ports for the day, showing 37,SOO bales against 27,S2l last year; thus far for the week 66 703 Jales against 50,- 692 last year. leading to estimates on the amount to be brought into sight this week, pointing to at least as much as came into sight last year, when 1t was 277,S34 bales. A feature of the days fig ures was the large total of exports which nearly met the port receipts, being S4,950 bales, or within 9l7 bales for the cor responding time last season. At the same time the spot cotton markets of the south were steady to firm, although the only spot points reaching any actual advance was New York.

New orIsans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 19.-Spot cotton was in fair demand. Offerings were not free and the assortment on the tables is ont as tempting as it mikht be. Bas- ing their views upon the early advance i contracts today, holders were asking concessions above board figures during the morning hours, but their effort met with little encouragement from buyers. Sales $500 bales, including 700 to arrive. Quotations unchanged. Favorable cables and the report that prominent English bears had turned bulls had the effect of causing an advance of to points in futures on the first call and a gain of to pionts additional ensued. But prices broke at that level under the influence of bear hammering and covering by timid longs and the figures worked down some to 6 points on the various positions. Later there were slight fluctuations, the market closing from even to one point lower than Saturdays closing.

Manchester VS. vinton

Manchester's first game with Vim
ton was ours from the beginning,
though it wasn't until the second
inning N. Malven found those
whizzers Of Powell's and gave us the
start. Jansen and the terrible Swede,.
also found the ball in this inning,
and Roe who had safely got to
LIST by miraculous base running,
brought home a score. In the 4th,.
Vinton scored by an error on our
side and one Of the two safe hits
made off Jansen also happened"
by i'll luck in this half-a fly was sent
out near left field where G. Malven's
paw isa pitfall always ready to de-
YOUR any insects batted his way.
George made handsome run for
this one and would certainly have
killed it had not ridiculous little
hay stake been a mountain in his
way. The other safe hit recorded fol
Vinton was made in the 7th but the
field kept everything SO closely
eaten that it didn't help Vintol
any on toward victory. In the frs
half OF the sixth, G. Malven wa,
batting with an eye to a three bas
i hit when he was taken with
severe pain in his right hand cause,
bypwild pitch and Holmes did hi
