LECTURE COURSE OPENS
First Entertainment Next Wednes.
day Evening by Columbian
Male Quartette.

The citizens lecture course OF this
year will open on next Wednesday
with the Columbian Male Quartet.
This Is one of the most universally
popular attractions with lyceum audi
ences and as their appearance here
last year was most successful our peo-
pie will no doubt hail with delight
this second opportunity of hearing
these gifted singers. The press notices
are most aattering and each member
of the quartet is looked upon as an
artist in his line of work.
This number will be followed by
four more, all of excellent reputation
and worthy of large audiences. They
are as follows: The Chicago Lyceum
Lady Quartet, most splendid aggre-
CATION of finished vocalists; Ellis
worth Plumstead, humorist of na-
tional repute, who steps from grave
to gay, from humorous to pathetic,
from the sunshine of life to it's shad-
ow, with the easy transition which at
once prohounces him q master of his
professions; James S. Montgomery, D.
D., pastor Wesley Methodist church
at Minneapolis, who as an orator and
thinker ranks with the very best; and
finally last but by no means the least,
we have the famous Mozart Symphony
club of New York. In order to secure
this attraction it became necessary to
add s35 to the original price of the
entire course, but the committee agreed
that the "best is none too good" and
consequently it was added to the
course. That it will be the best musi-
cal attraction eyer heard in this city
cannot be doubted when such papers
as the New York Herald and The Mu-
sical Courier do not hesitate to give
it their unqualified endorsement.
The committee which has had charge
of the arrangements for this course
has worked faithfully and efficiently.
They have been prompted by desire
to increase the popularity OF high
classed attractions with the public and
have spent q great deal of their time
without receiving any monetary re-
muneration whatsoever. We sincere
ly hope the citizens will show their
of the eommittee's- efforts
by attending all of the attractions. A
few more season tickets are still for
sale at 81 so and we would advise all
who have any intention of attending
the different numbers to secure them
at once.

Baxter q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, January 6-Although Liver
pool advices were not decidedly bullish
they showed that the general situation
was viewed on the other side as very
strong, and that yesterdays ginners' re-
port was very favorable for the long side
of the market.
Local sentiment continues bullish, all
although 1t is not expected that the mar
ket will advance right along without fire.
quent periods of bear control Signs of q
material falling off in the movement are
shown here and there. II would require
but one week of decreased receipts to con-
vince the doubters that the crop is going
to be under requirements. Operations on
the short side of the market are expected
to be as disastrous from now on as they
have been heretofore. In any event, 1t Is
difficult to see any crop ahead but a mod
crate one, and the chances are for a re-
markably small one. Early prices de-
clined to ~ points, then further declined.
Selling by people who had bought yes
terday was heavy enough to weaken the
market, although receipts at points prom
ised to be 20 per cent under last year. Spot
sales In Liverpool were 1000 today. The
market in Manchester was demoralized.
Liverpool gained IA to II points for the
day. Receipts at interior towns were a
good deal lighter at some towns. Rumors
of war weakened prices.

Cochran q CO.'S Cotton Letter.

BY Gilbert & Clay.
New Orleans, January 6.-The cotton
market was subjected to drastic liquida-
ton today. deriving its incentive from
information conveyed by cables that war
between Russia and Japan was imminent
and with the Improvement resulting from
the census report war eradicated and an
additional depreciation of about 81 per
bale supplemented Liverpoors response to
the rise in American markets of yester-
day was meagre and 1t is probable that
English traders had a foretelling of bad
news from the Orient. The decline of
three-eights In consos only helped to in
tensify prevailing apprehensions, though
nothing definite developed otherwise 1t
is quite plain that foreigners are skepti-
cal about the crop being so very far
In receipts will be necessary to convince
them of the correctness of the govern
ment's estimate.
The temper of this market was ex-
ceedingly feverish. Selling orders poured
in in general fashion and prices seemed
to be no object SO long as sales were
erected 1t was apparently a hasty re-
pentance of yesterdays over confident in
vestments. The fact has been demon
started, however. that surprises of any
kind may be expected while the
far eastern situation presents such
serious positions, but eliminating that
feature the market will be governed by
receipts and demand for spots New
England mills were said to have been lib
eral buyers today in this market, and a.
continuance of demand from such sour
ces will have stimulating Influence.

New Orleans. January 6-As Liverpool
advices were not as favorable as expected.
our market opened 10 to IA points lower,
but improved points shortly after on
fresh buying. Later in the session. the
decline In English consols, and more war
like rumors, caused a break of Il to rs
points from the top. Shorts covered later.
superinduclng a steadier feeling near the
close making the net loss Sc to n points on
the day. The discouraging advioes from
Liverpool, predicated on the possibility Of
war being declared soon between Russia
and Japan, and the heavy buying of wheat
by London. seems to lend color to the war
like rumors, which have been freely cir
culated today. The apathy of spinners
and freer receipts than anticipated, COM
bined with stop orders, have all been In
strumental IN occasioning Decentralization.
The news from the east, receipts and de-
mand for spots, will continue to regulate
the future course of values.

New York, January 6-The stock mar

above the lowest Of the day. Traders
made the most of the war rumors, the
selling being largely of a professional

that there were more such stop orders in
sight, particularly in Steel preferred.
Steel common established a new low rec

London last week, said to be on the advice
of the Morgan interests. All markets were
