COTTON PRICES GO TO
STILL HIGHER LEVELS.
Not for Years Has the Market Seen
Such Excitement Characters
lied Yesterdays Trading
tBy A. r. Thompson & Co.'S wire.I

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-To-day's cotton market
was the most sensational and excited that has
been experienced in the present upward move
ment. Although dealings other times have
exceeded to-day's transactions, nothing like the
excitement of to-day has heretofore been wit
messed.
The sensational advance in Liverpool was alto
gether unlocked for and traders who for several
days have been playing for decline were forced
to cover; and. as offerings were light prices were
easily run up n level not heretofore recorded
i'm the history of the cotton market since cotton
has been selling for hard money Receipts were
abnormally small, and reports from the Southern
spot markets indicate heavy demand at almost
any prices at which holders may choose 10 ask.
a reaction is undoubtedly due as the market
has had a perpendicular advance of nearly 300
points without any decline but, Speculation
Is now absolutely controlled by a few powerful
spectators. 1t is impossible to make any ac-
curate forecast of the trend Of prices. We would
only advise purcha Ses substantial declines.

Mrs. Gilbert doesn't smile often without
cause, but when there's a bit of humor

the most delicious way the shadow OF a
smile chases into her eyes and touches the
corners of her mouth. and she may make

Passenger Officials at Work.

The American Association of General
Passenger Agents got down to business
early yesterday at St. Louis with President
r. l. Whitney, general passenger agent of
the Great Northern, in the chair A COM
mittee of representatives, of st. Louis lines
submitted in concise form recommendations
as to rates and conditions to prevail dur
ing the worlds fair. The recommendations
were agreed on at meeting held earlier in
the week On the rate question General
Passenger Agent C. S. Crane of the Wa
bash, presented the views of the St Louis
lines. General Passenger Agent l.. w
Wakely, of the Burlington, submitted the
recommendation as 10 form of ticket and
ticket regulation. On legislation and pro-
tective measures, Assistant General Pas
senger Agent ID. F. Bow, of the Chicago q
Alton. spoke of the St. Louis lines, show
ing what had been accomplished in that
respect. The st. Louis lines favor a scale
of rates that will attract visitors through
out the worlds fair season Any rates
adopted will go into effect from the open
ing of the season.
1t was decided this afternoon to recon-
mend to their respective traffic organiza-
tions reduced rates to the worlds fair from
all parts of the United States. Specifically
they agreed TO ask for:
''First-A season excursion rate TO St.
Louis beginning April % and continuing
until Nov. % selling tickets during that
period at 50 per cent. of double the one
way fare
"Second-ExcursiOn rates, with final re-
turn limit of sixty days, at rate of one and
one-third fare
''Third-Excursion tickets of ten days
limit in territory 200 miles distant from
ST. Louis at rate of one fare plus 81
"Fourth-That coach excursions be run
not Oftener than one day each week by
each line. at rates and with limits and
other conditions as may be agreed upon by
interested lines
These preparations will be formally con-
sidered at the meeting of the representa-
tives of trunk lines-New England Passen-
ger and Central Passenger Association
which will convene in New York Feb. S. 1t
is the belief of the passenger agents that
no difficulty will be encountered in secur-
ing these rates

Cattle-The receipts Of cattle to-day were equal
TO the average at this time in the week recently
and doubt little above the expectations Of
dealers. Practically all kinds OF cattle
were represented, but there was larger proper
tion OF steers than usual on Thursday. Good
female butcher cattle not too plentiful and
with buyers rather industrious in executing
their orders this branch OF the market from
the start reasonably active and sales were
at fully steady prices. There very little or
request for steers right at the start and there
fore the conditions We're very unfaVOrable 10
statesmen. Later in the day buyers offered 1oc
20 l5c lower for all fat steers, and, although
statesmen very reluctant in accepting such
terms. they finally forced to do Most
OF the sales were not TO exceed lOc lower, but
a good many were considered 15c lower and
occasionally bios reported zoe TO CSC lower
Both statesmen and owners were little surprised
al the turn in the affairs. and at the close a
few loads were held in first hands. There was
only fair request for feeding cattle, but sales
usually at about yesterdays prices. The
bull market was steady and calves sold gener-
ally as high as yesterday. Quotations:

2s-The receipts Of hogs to-day We're not Excess
sive. but as large usual at this time in the
week. The quality was again very satisfactory.
With rather active competition between packers
and shippers the market opened with the good
medium to heavy grades selling at steady prices
or course along with the good hogs statesmen
were able 10 dispose Of few loads Of lighter
hogs and they were also about steady. There
was continued discrimination, however, against
most OF the light stuff and from the start the
market for this class was dull with the bidding
Indifferent and lower. There were not many
light hogs sold until after the good supplies
had changed hands. and then buyers succeeded
in forcing a decline Of about SC for the light
grades. Late reports from other markets were
favorable to buyers and consequently the trading
some lower than the opening for all kinds Of
hogs. But at the extreme close a few prime
heavy grades sold high at the opening
1t dOss not appear that there were as many
good .eavy hogs here yesterday, and alto
gether the average market is a shade lower.
A good clearance was finally made. The ex-
treme range in sales from $40 TO s525, and
