The Day After at New Orleans.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, March 19.-The cotton
market opened excited today, prices rang
ing from five points down to twenty up
compared with yesterdays close. There
was Il decided advance shortly after the
opening, but conditions were unsettled.
Unusual interest attached the open
ing of the market as a result OF the Suly
failure, and when the bell rang there was
a large crowd of brokers around the ring
Soon after the opening decided upward
tendency developed and prices advanced
until May was 81 points higher than yes
terday's at 1880 and July was forty points
higher at 1919. The advance was mainly
due to a surprisingly good Liverpool mar
ket. After the first half hour New York
displayed weakness and the local market
was quick to follow the decline which
brought May down to 1885 and July to
so. The ring was too busy to allow
much discussion of Sullys failure. The
belief grows, however, that he will meet
his obligations dollar for dollar. There
were no new developments locally in this
direction.
The short session of the market was
marked by nervous and wide fluctuations.
Toward noon the tone became seadier and
prices commenced to go higher after ev-
cry recession. Fluctuations were some
times for twenty points at a time. The
market closed steady

trading. The excitement continued, pul
supporting orders in the active positions,
May-June, July August and October-No-
vember were executed and a rally OF about
ten points followed. Trading was un-
usually heavy, the recorded transactions
in July-August up to 1915 o'clock num-
bering fifty-three, or more than three
times the business during the same time
on an ordinary day.
Iii the last half hour of the short ses-
SIGN the market was quieter and prices
fell away slightly but finally closed steady
a: net loss of SO to Al points.
The official spot quotations were re-
duced fifty points, American middmg be-
ing quoted at 774d.
The effect of the suspension of Sully
and Company was not so great as eX-
pected. Although there was great lex
element during the first few minutes
there was absolutely no panic, the mar
ket being a good one considering every
thing Buying orders were plentiful
Srinners no doubt, would have liked the
market to drop further, but the ceiling
generally is that the Lancashire trade
will probably be healthier after the eX-
citement passes away.

A st. Patrick's Day Banquet.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, March ia st. Patrick s
Day banquet was held at the Hotel Cecil
tonight, presided over by John Redmond,
and attended by the members of the Ma
tionalist party in the House of Commons
and prominent Irishmen in London. The
following cablegram from the United
Irish League of America was read:
The United Irish League of America
clasps hands with our kindred at home
and in the enemys country on this ma
tional holiday. God save Ireland"
John Redmond in proposing the toast of
ireland Nation, said that the oppor.
tunity for which they had waited for so
many long and weary years had almost ar
rived-that opportunity for Ireland to be
the deciding factor in the making or un-
making of the government of Great Brit
ain. The coming general election would
witness the defeat of the Unionist govern
ment.
Mr. Redmond urged the Irish voters in
Great Britain at the next election to put
the question of home rule above every
thing else He said that the future de-
pended upon the power and unity of the
Irish party in Parliament.

90 ION plant was a heavy loss to Messrs.
Worth and Hines, the owners Upon in
vcstigation it is found the entire loss
t. be about $4,000, with $4,000 insur-

dred tons of ice which was to be used in
icing fruit cars. This also was burned to
the ground. During the burning of the
buildings there were three heavy eX-
plosions caused by the bursting of the
amona tanks.
No one seems to be able to tell how
the fire originated The engineer in
charge says the first he knew of it, the
entire building seemed to be wrapped in
flames, and that he barely had time to
save himself.
The fire company responded promptly,
but the building was situated so far from
tho water supply that nothing could be
done
There is superstitious saying among
Arcmen that when you have a fire that
