New Orleans, January 24ASpot cotton quiet buyers and sellers being wide apart in their views. Factors were de- manding yesterdays board figures, which buyers would not pay and 1t was only in cases where the latter were enabled to secure concessions that trades were closed The sales recorded for the day cover only 2000 bales of spot and 450 to arrive, and of that amount 1000 bales of spot and 100 to arrive were sold after hours yesterday. Quotations unchanged
 Contract cotton was fairly active with rather wide fluctuations. The market opened to points lower, and this was followed by a further loss of to points. There was a reaction from the extreme low level, however, on the strength of ex- eellent 4pEint cloth trade reports from the east and the fact that New York failed to respond adequately to the break at this end of the line, and prices were bid up again, with occasional fluctuations un- til at the last call the board showed net losses for the day of to points on the several months.

 New York January 24.-The cotton market opened easy at decline of l to , points and subsequently ruled a point or two easier, cables being unsatisfactory and public support not forthcoming to the extent required to hold the market against a disposition to liquidate long in- terests and the fncreased~volume of sell ing for short account. The local weak ness was increased by southern selling orders, with the New Orleans speculative market, heretofore the strongest on the list showing leading weakness as com pared with New York conditions. The buying was chiefly by shorts, who had profits in sight and were disposed to se- cure them in view of bad weather south, which was looked to to check next week 8 movement.

RACE SUICIDE FATAL IN
THE WEALTHY FAMILY
Percy Chubb Lectures to Society for
Ethical Culture.

! PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May At Is
the calamity of the children of the rich
that there are too few of them said
cal Culture schools. OF New York, in a
lecture delivered last night before the
Society of Ethical Culture.
Mr.. Chubb was of the opinion that
philanthropy should pay more attention
to the children of the rich. Many plans,
he said, had been devised for the benefit
of the poor children. but the spoiled
children of the rich, he said, are neg
lected.
Mr.. Chubb continued:
Let the modern man, with genius
for money making. beware lest in his
eagerness for riches his children, too.
perish as living souls at the blighting
touch. The child can thrive only in an
atmosphere of love and heartiness and
Ecompanionship. The children of the
rich are deprived of this too often by
being too few in NUMBER
The cares, distractions and social
ambitions which riches and power and
place bring with them, the rounds of
visits ana QlnnerS ana functions MAKE
/ it difficult for the rich parent to give
the child its due, to fulfill the impulse
OF all true parents to live with and for
their children.
There is close connection between
plain living and high thinking. Human
| character cannot flourish IN an atmos-
phere of luxury. Whatever doubts we
may have of this there is no doubt of its
application to children.
| Il count it the fit calamity Of the chill
dren of the rich that there are too few
of them; that the old hearty and popu-
lous family life is unknown to them;
that the rudy cheer of the glowing
hearth are less and less. The passion
of maternity wanes- 1t IS the symptom
! of disease; the disease that has marked
| all ages to decay. 1t is the blight OF the
life of pleasure, luxury, and self-indul-
gence to which riches are always tempt
ling.
"A child's life may be as easily marred
! by superfuity as by want. Do the chill
dren of the imperfled rich need no min
/ istering2 The more a man has the more
difficult it is FOR him to save his own
soul and the souls of his children"
