 NEW YORK. Jan. l6.-May cotton sold at & 90 today, or 10 points over the high point reached some time ago. Then profit taking began. Under the circumstances no one should be blamed for taking profits. On Monday May sold at 8 6l ard this meant an advance of 30 points. Three thousand dollars profit on e couple of thousand bales in a week. That ia making money very rapidly and rapidly enough to make a conservative trader sell out half of his line if not all By talk ng profits dn nearly all his cotton he is in shape to buy back on the first smash. If none comes and the ma kst looks all right 1t is an easy matter to buy higher. It was the profit taking that proved feature today Liverpool closed in the @ r, or points up, the in-sight figures. according to New York were 20, 900 bales under last year and May cotton fin New O leans ruled ernund cents most of the day. What moTe could one ask for bull factors. But the market has had good advance, it will require active speculation to carry on the advance and around cents one can look for sefbacka. For this reason. we regard profit taking on any flu ther advance as the part of wisdom. One can al- ways get in the market at a moments notice It ts not to easy to sell out when the price starts down. pile of cotton has changed hands around these figures and we would rather take profits and wait for the setback then buy more here. There is no change in the position If we don't have . decided in- crease in receipts the market will start again for cents. while the buying fever Is on take some money out of long cotton and stand ready to buy on the first break of IS points

lSpeclal 70 The AoVerG@er.l
 NEW ORLEANS. Jan. I6.-As Liverpool ad- our market responded by opening, 3 points higher and subsequently, advanced 7@9 on the weekly amount brought into sight being somewhat less than anticipated. The heavy interior movement and the bearish visible supply statement occasioned a break of I3 points on the day. The amount brought into sight during the week was 2S9. 900. against BOA. GOO last year and the aggregate marketed from September Ist to date has been 7.44o,- 900. agalnst 7,425, 900 last year. The visible supply of all kinds during the week incr eased of which the American increased 6, 800. against Q decrease of 900 last year. The total visible supply of American iB now 8, 22 GOO. against S,7o0 900 last year. The 30 lead ng interior towns received during the week I64,- 900. against l43. 900 last year. The visible relatively over last year and the receipts at the interior towns this week arc the Ia gest during the past five oars. TH addition to this the tAkings of American cotton by the ship ments of the world to date are only 356.o00 In excess of last year. reduction of 3 900 in the aggregate having been made this week The strong stat stical position, the reduction of crop estimates and the theory that the con- sumption of American cotton will Dc about II 25o. 900 have been instrumental in caus- ing an advance of per cent. The situation thls week has been weakened somewhat and it looks as if splnners with their large reserve stocks will not follow the advance. If this policy Is pursued by them for a few weeks 1t will make a radical change in the statistical po- stion. Anything unfavorable to the article around present prices may precpitate decline. theeTfore we again urge our friends to operate oonservatively and cniv buy on sha-p breaks Receipts and the demand for spots will regu- late the future course of values.

to Make investigation.
HARD TO GET INFORMATION
AFFAIRS IN BAD SHAPE IN
INDIAN TERRITORY.

Washington. July 21.-Acting Score
tary Ryan Of the interior department
today made the following statement
concerning the departments attitude
with reference to official changes in The
indian Territory.
An view of the articles which have
appeared in the public press. il is
proper to state that no complaints
pending in the department against any
of its officials i'm the Indian Territory
charge any criminal misconduct. Sec
rotary Hitchcock has for some time
Deen thoroughly impressed that there
should be a searching Investigation of
thoian affairs by more effective means
1lan he is authorized by law to en-
pIoy- IL il be true that any of the fed
eIal othcials. in the Indian Territory
nave been guilty of criminal acts, no
one possessing any knowledge Of the
TACT, or any information tending To
prove the fact has shown any DISPOSE
tlon 10 disclose IL to the department or
10 anybody else. so far as the secre-
tary knows. The secretary has no
power to compel any such person to
tell what he knows. He is hopeful that
a grand jury may be directed by the
federal court in the Indian Territory
20 take up the matter because that
tribunal can compel witnesses to tes-
tlIy 10 any facts of which they may
nave knowledge. The secretary be-
heNes that it is only by such an in
NestlgatiOn that official Offenses. if any
exist, can be uncovered.
But whatever may be done along
mat line all the power Secretary Hitch
cock has viii certainly be exercised to
thoroughly investigate not only pend
ing complaints but all the conditions
and situations under his jurisdiction in
The Indian Territory.
Neither Secretary Hitchcock nor any
other official Of the department has
ever stated or intimated that no in
NestigatiOn would be made"
