There was once an humble hen. who

up in such way, and she did not believe
that ii was proper for her children to 90

large quantity of cotton has been disposed or by commission houses and there can be no question that the cotton situation from a tech nical standpoint has been vastly improved by the drastic house cleaning, which has taken place When cotton broke below l3 cents, there was very good buying of a kind that promises to add strength to the market. So much cotton has been thrown overheard that we regard the outlook as being more satis- factory than for some time. It may be that we have seen the high record for the season Tor some time to come and that the market in spite of violent reactions is gradually work ing to a lower level. This does not change the fact that enough cotton has been thrown over board to Tighten the speculative ship and make 1t comparatively safe for traders to buy cot ton on such breaks as we have had this week. It must be admitted that there are two very decided views held on the market at the pres ent time. Some hold that the large movement means have a crop of i05ooooo bales and as long as prices at l3k cents have cut down consumption that crop will be more than enough to go around. On the other hand
 l7-cent cotton and say it is simply a ques- tion of weeks before this will be evident to all. It is not necessary to side with either view at the moment in fact lack of opinion as to the future is more likely to be profit able than the other Money Is to be made now by picking up cotton on such breaks as we have had this week and the risk appears to he very small. Cotton has some value as it gets toward I3 cents and until we have evil dences of such an avalanche of cotton from the South as will change the situation, cau- tious buying nbfeaks will pay the traders fin the cotton market.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-In a see-saw market today delay to harvesting in Argentina and East were perhaps the principal news factors. Closing prices were firm. with May wheat at last nights figures; May corn up h@kc and oats unchanged. Provisions were 7ta@22c lower.
 Easier cables and an advance in consols caused the selling of considerable long wheat from yesterdays closing, May being l2hQ 2& @I2h lower at S6QS6M. Nearly everybody had wheat for sale and the demand was small. The sentiment soon changed, however, and a better demand developed. One of the main causes of the reversal of sentiment was news from Argentina reporting that rains were greatly delaying harvesting and that a strike was interfering with the movement of grain. These conditions taken in connection with the critical situation in the Orient started a good buying movement and May sold up to e7A. Heavy buying by the big bull operator and the unverihed report of an actual engagement in the Far East caused a sudden advance to 67A. During the last half hour the local crowd were liberal sellers and part of the gain was lost The close was firm with May un- changed at e7kQ97%. Clearances equaled 43- 500 bushels. Bradstreet's exports of wheat Primary receipts were 653. 300. against 4e2 900 a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi cago reported 474 cars. against 324 year ago.
 Corn was weak at the start owing to lower cables and in sympathy with wheat. Then sen timent became bullish on prospects of an in- creased shlpplnB demand ana war news "A good general demand developed shortly after te opening and the market held firm the re- mainder of the session. May opened h6k to S9Is lower at 46%947. sold up to 479s and closed at 47%. Receipts 222 cars.
 Oats influenced chiefly by the action of wheat. The opening was weak with dis position to dispose of local lines. With the advance in wheat oats became frrner. After opening k9Ac lower at sex May sold up to 3e7s and closed at 3sk@3s%. Receipts, lo6 cars
 The feature of early provision trading was
 the decline in May pork due to heavy lidui- dation. Lower hogs were largely responsible for tho selling pressure at the start. although tho weakness in grains had some effect While there fair demand from commission houses and shorts prices showed very little recovery from the low point. although a steady tone prevailed at the close Final figures on May pork were down 22h at SIS. 10: May lard and ribs each off 7h at S6.e2Ia and S6 62ia.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
MARKET WAS DULL THROUGH
 OUT THE DAY.
Slow Rise Caused by Easier Feeling Over Outlook in East and Promise of Replenishment
 of the Bank Reserves.

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-There was a dull stock market today. without sensations and without marked mar features. An easier feeling over the Far Eastern outlook and the promise of a large replenishment of banking reserves to DC shown by tomorrow's bank statement were the impeliing causes of the slow rise The best prices of the day were made in the last hour and the closing was fairly steady and near the top. Actual news the war situation was measre and there was no deep-seated convic- tion that hostilities would be averted, but the possibility of a quick change in the situation and the important influence which would be caused by such change induced great caution In trading on any assumption that war was inevitable. The forecasts of tho weekly move ment of currency promise a gain in cash of between ten and twelve million dollars Of this estimated gain one quarter or less re- suits from sub-treasury operations, including receiuts of foreign gold and the remainder has been received from interior points. Expecta- ton Is general that the loan item will show a further substantial expansion, but large an increase in the basis for credits deprived that prospect of any disturbing power. Money was very easy today for all forms of loans and call money became almost a drug in the market at 2 per cent, a condition not seen on a Friday for many months. The specula- tion in Amalsamated Copper continued very active and that stock rebounded from early depression to l% over last night The figures of the December exports of copper which were the largest for IS months past started the re- covery. Copper was strong in London and there was a further rise in the price of cop per in the domestic market. Rumors were
 
 market and quoted trade opinions were hope full. United States Steel preferred was largely traded in and lifted a point and hopeful views were expressed of the outlook in the trade and the character of the buying of the stock. The special strength of Baltimore and Ohio was due to the report that application had been made to list the stock on the Berlin Bourse There was movement in Mexican Railroad stocks which 1t was attempted to explain by the view that war in the Orient woulL in crease the demand and the price for silver and so rebound to the benefit of the Mexican exchanges. The statement of the net earn ings of the Southern Pacific for November had a stimulating effect on that stock and Union Pacific a gain in gross earnings was supple mented by an important reduction in operat ing expenses, which conduced together to the gain in net earnings. The average of net earnings of railroads thus far reported de- crease for November of last year for the first time for the year eo3 The gross earn ings thus far reported for the fourth week in December. however. show 8 larger ratio of increase than for any week for some time past

Caldwell, Ward & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. S.-Liverpool ca pies this morning were what would be called extra good in sympathy with which New York opened strong about 20 points advance during the morning, Liverpool showing strength and closed 20 points above last night and while New York has maintained a certain degree of strength and showed ample rallying powers, 1t has not held the advance in keeping with the foreign market. The usual conflicting war news has been in circulation without much affecting trade. who seem to be demanding now only official information. Business is light and the market is rather waiting one. anticipating something, either a declaration of war in the Far East or evidence of a falling of in receipts The advance today was due principally on shorts covering. The New York figures this week show in sight movement of Houston and Texas Central Railroad actual receipts in Houston the past six weeks run as follows: 39, 900. 33.o ooo 26, 900. 23,ooo, I6. 900. t5.o00.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Cables were very high this morning and the feeling locally respondngly bullish. Europe was buying large lines of cotton and this due to three causes. first of all the war news not threatening in fact people of good Judgment seemed to think that an actual outbreak was out of the question and even If it did occur that that Is no reason why cotton should be cheaper here. In fact. all arguments are that 1t would be a bull point. There was not very wide range in prices today but the market continued ac- tive almost through the entire day with the exception of a dull hour in the early after noon Estimates for tomorrow and general buying by the South sent prices to their high est level at the close and the market closed firm Receipts at the ports today were 32. 900, against 46, 900 last year.
