New York, January 16.-Llverpool ca- bies this morning are what the cotton trade is pleased to call very good clos Ing about points higher than was ex- pected. Private cables say Liverpool is exercised because of New York's small stocks. As they can't see where they will get what they need, the New York market has been very dull and more mar row than for some days past Receipts continue small. estimates for Monday at Houston being very light. Estimates for insight movement next week being 240,- 900 against S00,000 last year Spot cotton generally over the south very strong, good demand and little offering. There is nothing to bear this market on, unless 1t be sentimentally on war news. The situation in the east unchanged. Nothing definite. We are favorable to the long side of the market and believe in buying on all soft spots.

the high prices were instrumental In hav- ing a larger proportion of the crop mar keted than ever before known.
 These views are shared by the majority of operators, ard they confidently expect . marked decrease in receipts soon. which will confirm their position. It must be re- membered that falling off in the move ment will be only natural when 1t is con- sidered that the export demand for sever al weeks past has been practically nomi- nal. Nevertheless 1t is reported that the print cloths are firm and advancing at Fall River, and that stocks there are re- duced to minimum proportions. Advices were also received from a large South Carolina mill stating that narrow prints were in good demand at 1-16c higher than yesterdays prices In addition to the above favorable features, spots are firmer and there Is more inquiry from northern spinners and from foreign exporters. Con- sequently if the eastern differences do not assume a more acute stage over Sun day the chances are values may seek a higher level.

The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 16.-The spot cot ton market was firm. Sales 3T50 bales, in- cluding 1500 to arrive. Delivered on con- tracts 1400. Quotations unchanged. Flu lures opened steady with strong under tone Prices were to points higher. Heavy realizing held the figures down. The market was left to itself for the greater part of the morning. The big bulls did not attempt to boost prices as they could easily have done by the show of little aggressiveness. After the H. quidation was well over, prices showed an inclination to advance, but there were few buyers. The features were strong enough to sustain prices even In the face of some disquieting rumors In the Tar east 1t was generally considered that the outside long interest was small and this gave the market a steady strength which it could not have shown with heavy and weak long following. In the trading March advanced points to 14.03, declined to 1894 and then advanced to 1897; similar fluctuations occurred in the other posi- tions. The market closed steady with prices net point higher to 5 points lower

80 appointed deputies to assist me
in the work in my district. This
notice is not intended to frighten
hunters. but is intended to give fair
warning and notice to all, that If
illegal shooting is practiced, you
who commit such. offence will be
dealt with according to law, and no
blame need be attached to me or
the deputies for enforcing the law.

Auditor Stenersen.
End. If you are going to shoot,
get a gun.
