No Resting Place for the Murderers'
 Bones in London.

Bones in London. London Express.
 Four score murderers' bodies are buried beneath the floors of Newgate jail, and the authorities are wondering how these remains are to be disposed of when the work of demolition reaches their pres ent resting place.
 No cemetery or public burial place is likely to receive them except under com pulsion. This is evidenced by the atti- tude of the city of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Company of the Mile End Road, whose officials vigorously re- pudiate the statement recently published that their cemetery has been chosen for the reinterment of the Newgate criminals bodies.
 This statement. it is urged, is calculated to injure the business of the cemetery, and we much regret that 1t was published in these columns. Few peAple would not object to the burial of tadr dear ones in the company of Newgate murderers
 Our representative learned at the Guildhall recently that ''it was not yet decided in what cemetery these remains shall be placed. The work of removal must be done to the satisfaction of the medical officer of health.
 'The town clerks department has sub mitted a special report on the subject to the city lands committee of the corpor- ation, and this will be discussed at their next meeting"
 Considerable crowds of visitors flock daily to view the ancient prison, now that its days are numbered. Admission is obtained by ticket issued at the Guild hall. Curiously enough at least two- thirds of those who pass through New gates once dreaded portals on sight seeing intent are ladies.
 The ghastliest sight of all is the fa- nous passageway under which many murderers are buried. The briefest cpl taph sufices for those inferred. Single initial letters. roughly cut into the stone underfoot-that is all.

A. B. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter,
lBy Private wire.l

lBy FrlVaJe WHel
 New York Jan. 24.-Cables today were only a shade lower. Bears were making much of the comparatively full move- ment. The fact that the movement, last year this week in sight was 27O.O0O while next week 1t fell to 14S,00O. This in itself will suffice to give bears some advantage. No person of good judgment supposes that there is any vast quantity of cotton to come forward, but we will be laboring under the disadvantage of these small movements last year. and 1t would be na- tural to conclude that some depression may result. Todays weather in the South was again unfavorable, more or less rain falling to the extent of .02 to .04 inches, especially in the Atlantic States. How this can add to the much-talked of cotton in the fields remains to be seen. Reports from dry goods centers are bull ish, as well as spinning centers, and the surroundings on the whole are so good that 1t is hard, to see how cotton prices can suffer much. in fact, despite the hesi- tation now apparent, many people are de- cidedly bullish. The market started four points lower and sold weak throughout the day. On small sales general indiffer- ence was manifested Port receipts to- day were estimated at S2000 against g, ,000 last year

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
DISPOSITION OF THE LONGS TO
 LIQUIDATE.
Southern Selling Orders and Un- satisfactory Cables Contributes to the Declining Tendency.
 Buying Chiefly by Shots.

New York, Jan. 24.-The cotton market opened easy at decline of to points and subsequently ruled a point or two easier. cables being unsatisfactory and public support not forthcoming to the ex- tent required to hold the market against disposition to liquidate long interests and the increased volume of selling for short account. The local weakness was increased by Southern selling orders with the New Orleans speculative market, heretofore the strongest on the list show ing leading weakness as compared with New York conditions. The buying was chiefly by shorts who had profits in sight and were disposed to secure them in view of bad weather South which was looked to check next weeks movement.

 New Orleans. July 6.-Early cable ad- vices from Liverpool were in keeping with the ruling of that market at the opening this morning. reading as follows: "Ex- peet all tenders here will now be taken care of, and with Liverpool cheapest mar ket expect both spinners and exporters will enter the market soon. Any demand will change the present aspect. We have favorable opinion of the market" Opening prices abroad show an advance of 16 points on the near months, with late de- nveries 10 points up, while spots were quoted Ii points higher. Our first response to Liverpool opening quotations recorded an improvement of to points, with the advance in favor of summer positions.
 After the opening, however selling or ders seemed to predominate and the near months, showing the most pressure on ac- count of stop loss orders principally. It was soon found that there were few buy CTS with many sellers endeavoring to se- cure profits in sight, and in consequence the decline of today. Considering that the crop has to go through the most criti- cal months of July and August, it Is un- reasonable to believe that the growing crop Will be more than q moderate one, so considering the amount that will be re- qulred by merchants. foreign and domes- tlc, to fill depleted stocks, there is no req son why December should be selling at present discount under September excent ing that an unusual amount of selling has been lndulged in In December options. While the cotton market again showed depressed tendency, we are inclined to believe that any further material de- cline Will probable produce renewed liberal buying

treme bulls were claiming very poor re- suits. and possibly disaster from the Texas downpour.
 The general idea in best informed cir eles was that Texas rains now may null tipy the weevil. and the calculations of hopeful bull spectators is that the loss to the Texas crop by weevil this year may exceed that Of last year.
 Selling of September on a liberal scale unsettled the market during the morning. and the general list suffered thereby.
 The wather was fair in most sections and showery conditions were foreeasted for Texas
 Both sides were apparently unprepared to go on. although the undertone seemed to be developing strength, but bears were growing rather bolder. Before long Sep tember weakened and August also, and New Orleans was letting go, so 1t was suspected.
 The appearance of the market was any thing but weak Cables irregular at 1 point advance

LOCAL MARKETS.

Quotations for cotton are rather wild just now and the market is very uncer- tain. The prices are, however, about on the same level, although 1t is expected that there will be some developments in a few days.
 Stocks and bonds were quiet yesterday. There were no price developments and quotations for all local securities remain the same
 Only two slight changes are reported in staple groceries. Medium ham is quoted at 1O7sc and leaf lard is 9Ac instead of 91kc.
 Morris avenue is not very lively these days Prices are also holding steady and there is little news of interest Lines are down to 75c and s1 per 100. The fruit is very plentiful, a fact which largely Accounts for the decline in price,
 Huckleberries are selling for g per six gallon crate There are few berries on the market, however. Alabama tomatoes are now coming in and are quoted at 75c for four basket crates. Green peas and Florida squash are out of the running. Neither vegetable is on sale.
 Poultry is very plentiful but there are no changes in the prices Eggs are off slightly. They are now selling for 131k6D 14c per dozen.
 With the possible exception of lines fruit is rather scarce in the local market. Few shipments are coming in at present

NeW Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July 6.-Spot cotton was quiet and weak. There was nothing do- ing, the sales being 50 bales Quotations were reducd by the cotton exchange com mttee 1ko per pound on all grades, in- fiuenced by the decline in futures. There was quite a panic in the future market, especially in the September op- tion, After the opening July sold up to 1860, then down to 12.96j August 13.4s to 12.S5, September 11.79 to 10.96 October 1924 to 9.S6 December 9.s2 to 9.56 and January SIT to 9.56. In the declines July lost 64 points, August 6, September S3. Oc- tober SS, December S7 and January 23. There was a partial recovery from the lowest point the list at the close showing net losses of 62 points on July, August 54. September 67, October 26, November IS, December and January each II. At the opening Liverpool cables were decidedly favorable, telling of wide advances in both spots and futures. The weather map was decidedly favorable, however, and it was claimed that this started some short selling in New York and also caused some weak longs to get scared Following upon this was an avalanche of selling or ders. It was the opinion among traders that the bull clique was a heavy seller of September, as 1t was also the general belief that the local bulls were unloading their holdings in the Liverpool market, which caused that market to stagger also.
