ductor will divide up the gifts with his

There is every indication that the great
army Of riders are going to take hold with
greater enthusiasm than ever at the
chance to show its appreciation of the
army of uniformed employees who play
such a prominent part In its every day
life
one great effect these annual tributes
have had which is far more important
even than the passing pleasure of the
iingling coins. is the closer relations that
have grown up between the trolley men
and their patrons. The motormen and
conductors have come to feel that the
men and women who use their cars ap-
preciate courtesy and attention. They

REACTION IN co ,cE.
Exciting Times on the -Ie7 Orleans
 Exchange.

New Orleans, Jan. 29.-The long-expect- ed reaction came in the cotton market this morning and country longs went wild in their efforts to liquidate. Their offer ings swamped the market for a while and prices went down from 45 to S6 points. The prominent bulls were heavy buyers at the decline and even at the lowest buy ing orders of a few hundred bales would send the market up 10 points.
 The caution was sounded yesterday when brokers commenced to ask $10 bale margin.
 It was generally considered that the false reports concerning the situation in the Far East spread about last night were responsible for the liquidation by the weak long interest. All features re- mained bullish. The movement was light and the weekly in sight figures were smaller than were expected by the most enthusiastic bulls. At one time May op- tons were S6 points under the highest level of the morning, but a quick recov- cry brought them up until they were only Il points below the highest level and only A points lower than the close of yester- day.
 The leading bulls said that the drastic liquidation had left the market in 8 healthier condition than ever and more open to further advances than for sev. eral days past.

AT THE OTHER END.
Frequent Messages Passed Between
 Banquet Halls.

London, Jan. 29-While the American branch of the Pilgrims Society was giv- ing its dinner tonight at Delmonicos, In New York, in honor of Sir Henry Morti- mer Durand. British Ambassador to the United States. the English branch of the society celebrated the occurrence with a supper at the Carlton Hotel.
 Shortly before the Delmonico banquet commenced, some seventy members of the Pilgrims Society in London sat down at a number of small tables, which were all looped up with telegraph wires strung on miniature poles and decorated with foliage.
 Among those present were Joseph NJ Choate, American Ambassador the Earl of Halsbury, Lord High Chancellor; Sir Edward l.. Durand, brother of Sir Henry Sir Thomas Lipton, and other prominent personages.
 The unique feature of the evening com sisted in the installation by trans-At- lantic cable company of cable instruments in one end of the supper room By means of this arrangement frequent mes saEes were exchanged between Delmon- icos in New York and the Carlton Hotel here. so that the English Pilgrims felt almost as much in touch with the New York celebration as if they had been ac- tually present.
 Two old grandathers clocks, one show ing English and the other American time, enabled Mir Choate. the Earl of Hals- bury and the others to keep an eye on the progress of the New York banquet.

STRUGGLE MAY LONG.
Renewed Litigation in shipbuilding

New York, Jan. 29.-According to state- ments by the opposing counsel in the United States Shtpbuilding litigation, the expiration of the agreement today Dy which the shipbullding bonds were de- posited with the Sheldon syndicate to effect Q reorganization instead of influ- encing a settlement of the litigation may be the signal for struggle for the pos session of the bonds deposited with the syndicate.
 Notices are said to be fii preparation for service today on the ship company, which is the depositor for the Sheldon syhdi- cate, not to deliver the bonds held by # to he Sheldon reorganization committee. Other notices will be, served tomorrow (the Sheldon syndicatess expiration being tonight), upon the same institution on be- half of a large number of the bondhold- CTS who deposited their bonds with it, demanding a return of the bonds to theEal If the trust company refuses to return .he bonds, 1t IS said, suit will be at once begun against it for the face value or the bonds.
 James B. Dill, counsel as well as direc- tor of the Commonwealth Trust Company, attended the conference of the sheldon syndicate and protested against the pro- posed plan recently put out which would wipe out all the stock on the ground that the Commonwealth Trust Company has a large deposit of stock with the commit tee. The company served notice that it will not ne bound by the new plans of re-Organization.

MERCANTILE AGENCY.
Summarizes the Trade Situation il

 United States.
 New York. Jan. 29.-Special telegrams regarding the situation of trade from correspondents to the International Mer- cantile Agency throughout the United States are summarized as follows: In the Central Mississippi Valley and throughout the Southwest business in most staple lines promises to exceed that of the opening months of 1903. Gen eral wholesale orders for spring trade this month in that region are said to be heavier than in any preceding January. More than 115.0OO wage earners have gone back to work in Pennsylvania and the lake region within a fortnight.
 Officials interviewed insist that steel rail prices will not be cut. Despite pessi- mistic reports as to iron and steel de- mand continues to slowly increase, not ably for structural steel and basic and forge iron.
 Prices have been stronger for cattle rubber, coffee, cotton goods. raw cotton wheat and corn. Not the least encour' aging feature of the business week has been the renewed condolences in a pros porous season due to an improvement il collections. The Ohio river valley and South Atlantic and Gulf States report large volume of orders.

Bankers Placed Under Arrest

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 29.-A special to The News from Henrietta, Texas, says: United States Deputy Marshal Whit Drey- den today arrested H. B. Patterson, late cashier of the Farmers National Bank and E. B. Carver, a stockholder in the same bank and took them to Fort Worth, where they will be given a preliminary examination by the United States Com missioner. The charge against them is alleged incorporation of the funds of the bank and the complaint is sworn to by Miller Weir, a bank examiner and temporary receiver of the Farmers Ma tional Bank. The amount of money con- cerned could not be ascertained.
