 The movement looked highly respectable and probably had the desired effect of im- pressing the rest of the list. Chicago Is bullish on Peoples Gas.

New York.

OUTSIDE DEMAND
 EVIDENTLY SLACK Further Talk of Strong Spot Situation in South. LIVERPOOL WAS BUYING Buying of Five Thousand and Ten Thousand-6ale Lots By Big Bull
 Rallied the Market to a
 High Level. .

New York, January 2O--The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of 12m23 points in response to strong cables, con tinued light receipts. and further talk of the strong spot situation in the south. The cables which at the time of the lo- cal opening were about 10 points over expectations. were attributed to buying in Liverpool by parties who it was said were protecting their requirements in the open market as a result of defauted contracts with shippers. This had bull fish effect on local sentiment so that while outside demand was evidently slack. and the market met with considerable liquida- lion. it ruled generally firm until about the end of the first hour, when March was selling at HAS, May at 14.55 and July 14.62. A period of liquidation followed which forced May down to 1440 and July to 14 4e, this being decline from the best of between 13dI19 points. Later, however the appearance in the ring of lJcaf bull who began bidding for 5000 and 10000 bale lots Of May and July, rallied the market sharply to about the previous high level. This demand apparently satisfied the mar ket again sagged off and while finally steady was only 8 to 13 points higher on the active positions, while the new crop months were points lower. Sales were estimated at 5O0,0Oo bales.

In Liverpool futures show an advance of 13 points and spots were up IS points, while the spot business was about the heaviest of the season. sales amounting to S0O0 bales. Reports from Manchester were the strongest feature of the day, and they said that the cloth and yarn trade had better tone all around Late in the morning March was 20 points higher than the close of yester- day at 1446, May was 17 points higher at 14S2, and July was 16 points higher at 1519. Heavy liquidation and some short selling caused a recession that brought March down to 1444. May to 147s and July to 15.05. The highest levels quoted above were the highest at which cotton has been traded in for thirty-five years. In the trading of the afternoon there were numerous fluctuations.

House bill number one, appropriating

ployes is now up to the governor. The
House this morning acted on the
made in the Senate, con-
curing in all of them by a vote of %
to 8, and the legislature is therefore
done with the bill
When the House met this morning
some of the members were talking of
tabling all bills except the two main
appropriation bills. They were dis
appointed at the Senate's rejection of
the House garbage BILL which, how
ever. the Senate was preparing to re-
consider and at the early adjournment
of the Senate yesterday, which make
a session on Monday necessary.
Senate bill number II was called and
motion to table was made and de-
feated. The bill then passed second
reading. 1t authorizes the governor
and secretary to sell issues of bonds
which may .-ereafter be made under
the loan act providing always that
sales are at higher rate than the last
sale. This makes possible a private
sale at a figure above the bid for the
last million dollars, whereas if public
bids are called for the same combina-

ably control the proposition at the
same rate as last time.

MAUNA LOA HAD TO DISCON-
TINUE WORK AT HONUAPO Ow-
ING TO SHOWER.

The steamer Mauna Loa arrived this
morning from her run to Lahaina,
Maalaea, Kona and Kau ports She
brought over 1900 bags of sugar for
w G. Irwin and Company and is dis
charging this part of her cargo on
the Oceanic wharf
On the outward trip choppy seas and
fresh trades were experienced. The
weather was rather rough along Kau
but was fine along Kona. On Wednes-
day rain storm prevented the steam
er from cleanin out the warehouse
at Honuapo so 500 bags were left be-
hind at that place. On the homeward
trip the weather was fine.
Purser Conkling reports that there
have been generous rain showers all
over Hawaii for some days.
Pahala mill is grinding steadily. Ho-
nuapo mill will shut down for ten
days at the end of next week.
A strange fish was seen yesterday
off Napoopoo. The creature was black
and measured about to feet in
length. The strangest feature about
the fish was the size of it's fin. There
was tall fin about feet in height
projecting from the fishs back. The
! fin resembled a sail. Captain Sinner
son has seen many ususual fish during
MS long career in these waters but he
does not remember having seen a
fish like the black one of Napoopoo. A
school Of ipbrpoises was seen off Kona
yesterday.
A fair sized crowd of passengers ar
rived on the steamer.
