 NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 22.-The strength of 6outhern markets was stated private cables to have eyerted a beneficial influence on the Eng lish ma ket and a good demand was reported for actual cotton. The official sales amounted to i200o at an advance of 4 points while deliveries improved to the extent of about 3 points. Transactions appeared to be effected here with a certain deg ee of indecision Open ing prices were firm and h gher on good Liv- erpool news. but ifl ng depl eciatfon subse- Quently occurred on the expectation of e freer movement at ports. It developed. however that spots continued in god demand at full prices and this fact sufficed to re-establish a steady tone. The market s possessed of vast possibilities on either side and 1t is ths fact that causes traders to exercise unusual de- gree of conservatism. Much has been sa d about the crop remaining in fields awaiting favorable weather for picking and marketing, and while tn feature has not been without its effect. glance at the foreign and domestic reviews of trade in manufactured cotton goods prompts one to reflect whether the world Is not fully capable of taking of the remnant Of this crop at the exist ng level of values. Under such circumstances one opini.m is as good another.

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.-Early Liverpool advices were more favorable than expected on the rumor of a large New Oileans failure. Our market in sympathy opened 2G4 DO nts higher, but declined S49 subsequently, on the later easiness in Liverpool which was caused by cables from here stating that the failure reported was unimportant. Near the close fresh paying Instrumental in establish tng an advance of 465 from the bottom mak- ing the net gain 92 points on the day While spots locally ruled steady. offerings from the interior were free at concessions with few buyers. The fact that holders were mo. b. eYal in their views shows that they are will ing to sell on the present basis. From eNist ting indications unless there are cleaiances tomor- row from outpoi ts the amount brought into sight for the week will range around 27O GOO ns compared to 297 900 last year. The statis- teal position will doubt continue strong still there seems to be less inclination shown to follow the advance than for some time, even though the feeling is very bullish. Un- der the circumstances. we think purchases should only be made sharp breaks. Re- eeipts. however. will continue to govern.

New orleans spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 22-The market for spot cotton opened with good demand and firm this morning under the influence of ga n of 4-io0d at Liverpool. but as soon as the character of the advance on the other side had been determined and it became known that the English market had been fnisled as to repoi ted heavy failure, the enuiry slackened off and buyers became u,uch more conservat ve in their movements. Sales, 6,4oo bales. tn- cluding. 800 to arrive. Quotations unchanged
 In the contract ma ket in response to Liv- erpool pr ces opened 266 points up. but 1t soon transpired that Liverpool had been influenced by rumors of "a heavy failure in New or. leans involving 3o,ooo bales of spot c1tton.' v and when the fals ty of the rumor had been established prices on the other g de began to ease off and this market fell into line, working down 416 poipts. After the second call prices moved up points OH all artive po- sitions During the late afternoon there was some little sagging and losses of a point or two were scored but this decline was only in the nature of the usual meaningless nuctua- tion. When the gong finally sounded the net result for the day showed declines of i@2 points on the va ious positions
 Note-The failure of T. F. French. cotton buyer was announced today. The trade res gards the failure as of small moment.

Feverish and Selfish Phase of Amer.
 ican Life.

Springfield Republican.
 The mass of people in these times eith- CT prefer not to commit themselves to the possession of real estate or are un- able to acquire such possession. They choose rented homes insteaA of owned homes, commonly take out some life insurance as the sole protection of the family in the future and then proceed to live up to their incomes, saving little or nothing. They become permanently identified with no particular neishbor- hood and frequently change their resi- dence; and the endless devices of mod ern civilization to catch the pennies and nickels and dollars of the people. mak- ing what was a luxury yesterday a seem ing necessity today, insidiously draw the average person and family away from saving and accumulation, and render 1t next to impossible. Small families are the rule. and to live up to the full standards of an age of comfort and luxury and dl- version never before rendered possible be- comes the supreme consideration. And so we Ego the pace" each in his little or large way, as circumstances admit with little thought of the future, intent on enjoying to the utmost the present with it's new and multiplying satisfac- tons of wants that multiply with the means of satisfying, and thus giving to American life that feverish and selfish and needless cast which is the remark of all who stop long enough to observe.
 This may be a life highly stimulating in certain desirable ways, as In intellec- tual quickening among the mass of peo- pie; but 1t must be demoralizing to an extent and certainly calculated to inten- slfy the conditions which create classes based upon property possession. It makes for social instability, unrest and revolution. It would be better for so- ciety in the long run If the luxuries of the moment were being less, and owner ship of property were being more, widely distributed.
