NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 24.-Spot cot
ton quiet and easier, Influenced by the
decline in futures.
Futures opened steady with prices from
2@21 points higher than yesterdays clos
ing. Numerous buying orders had the ef-
iect of advancing prices from 27Q29 points.
The advance was mainly caused by the
Improvement in Liverpool. Later in the
day leading bears received dispatches
from New York, saying that the leading
bulls were selling out. This caused the
widest excitement about the ring and in
less time than it takes to tell it almost
prices dropped 70@73 points from the
highest levels of the day and were 1904
points lower than yesterdays finals for
tho active positions. In the trading May
iirst advanced 81 points to 4.75, receded
IN 1854. fell off to lac, recovered TO 14.22,
and declined to 1884. The market closed
quiet with net losses of 40 points on Feb

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Feb 24.-The market for
cotton futures opened firm at decline OF
6 points on April, but generally unchanged
10 { points higher and following the call
ruled firm for the first half hour or so on
active covering and New Orleans bull sup
port March sold up to 1852, May to
4.S9 and July to 1850, these being net
gains of 27M32 points, but the local bull
leader appeared to be selling literally,
presumably for profits, and soon the mar
ket began to work lower. lust before
midday stop orders were reached and
there was rapid break of something
over 15c. At the decline room covering
and buying on the reaction theory caused
a partial reaction OF 20Q25 points, but
this attracted heavy selling by New Or
leans bull houses and the market later
turned very weak again, with March sell
ing down to 1855; May to 1888, and July
to 1880, break of full cent pound
on the active months and a net decline OF
G3M72 points The market was very act
i've and excited ON the down turn and 1t
appeared that The reports OF trouble
among financial houses abroad had some
influence as well as reports that the adj
vances had restricted demand for spot cot
ton in the South, particularly Tor export.
There was an idea that the big bulls were
willing to make better buying level, at
the same time shaking out trailers and by
stimulating export demand through re-
turn TO a lower level of spot prices, still
further strengthening the spot position
during the end season.
.Jut before the close the decline to
around 1890 for July and 1855 for March
attracted 2 good demand IRON important
Philadelphia spot interest, and while the
local bull leader continued to sell prices
recovered about 10000 points OF the loss
and the market was finally firm at net
decline of 40@6O points on months up to
and including September, while the latter
positions were net 3@15 points lower.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Port receipts, while a little larger than
yesterday, were small as compared with
last year, while the estimates for tomor-
rows movement were light and exports
which have recently been running light
were fair Outside buyers, however, are
rendered exceedingly timid by the war
like rumors from abroad and the evidence
of financial difficulties in Europe as re-
Elected by continued failures in Berlin,
Paris and Vienna, and prices are readily
influenced By the operations OF large pro-
fessionals who many believe are engaged
in scalpng the market rather than III any
well defined campaign
Receipts at the ports 1859 bales,
against 11.061 last week, and 1923 last
year. For the week 10000 bales, against
sc. 3O6 last week, and 143,947 last year

Joshua A. Nickerson wins in his fight

the opinion of the appellate division of the
supreme court on the suit brought against
the association to recover dues paid under
protest. and sick benefits. which the asso-
citation refused to pay. The case was be-
fore the appellate court on an agreed

Mr.. Nickerson was placed on the PEN

association set UP the claim that he was
not an active member OF the force within
the meaning OF the association rules.
Chief Justice stiness in the course OF
the opinion says:
Although he may not be an active

RUSSIAN
STUDENTS
EXPELLED

Berlin. March 16.-Thirty Russian stu
dents. several OF them women. have re-
ceived yesterday and today from the po-
lice notices OF expulsion, in consequence
of participating in a meeting held Sat
urday I, protest against the govern
ment's permitting Russian police agents
to watch Russian residents in Germany.
The students have from three TO eight
days in which to leave the country, and
may select the frontier TO cross, the
government not compelling them TO re-
turn to Russia. as I'm some instances.
The origin Of the dispute between the
government and the students about 900
OF whom are attending the university and
technical schools. was the Socialist ac-
cusaton that the government was per-
mitting Russian spies TO search the
rooms, examine the correspondence and
otherwise interfere with the liberty OF
Russians living in Germany,
Foreign Secretary Won Richthon, In de-
Tending the government Jan. 10, said the
Russians here were anarchists, and that
many OF the women attending the uni
versity or other schools were really no
students. but lived in state OF i'm
morality.
