 NEW YORK; Jan. Is.--Receipts ere now be- ing watched closer than ever before. The move ment at the close of the present week will hays much to do with influencing sentiment and prices. It looks now as if the situation will be reversed by figures showing loss from last year for the rest of the season. whereas we have been for sorAe time ahead. Heretofore 1t is hard to that the crop would be q small one because the movement has been in ex- cess of last year. From now 1t will be hard to see that 1t will not be considerably less, inasmuch as 1t is now beginning to run behind last year. With prices so high it is inconceiv- able that cotton has not been disposed of very freely and 1t would not surprise us if we should see a very great tailins of in receipts the re- Inainder of the ssason First pricesthis morn- Ing was i29le points higher with offerings light After the reaction, the market rallied on good advioes from Manchester.

NEW YORK, May 2l.-The citizens
breathed a sigh Of relief when the
news arrived from Albany that Cover
nor Odell had vetoed the Remsen Gas
grab bill, WHICH had been passed
by the corrupt legislature and signed
by Mayor Mcclellan, Notwithstanding
the protests of thousands Of inluen-
tial citizens. That the bill was one
OF the most outrageous steal PROPOSE
tons rushed through the legislature
this year, is beyond doubt. How
the gas trust managed to secure the
votes its a matter of history and an
open secret. The action of Mayor
Mcclellan, in signing the BILL, in spite
of general protests, causes consider
able surprise, but the solution of the
problem is not very difficult to shrewd
poliAcians who know a thing Or two
about the political situation in this
city and state. Theoretically, Mayor
Mcclellan was perfectly justified Sin
his action. He explained his action
by stating, that upon careful examina-
tion he found that the bill simply con-
firmed rights which the gas trust al.
ready possessed, without comforting
any new rights upon the trust. What
he did not say, however, was that
he did not see any particular reason
to prevent an evil with which a Rep
ub1ican legislature had burdened New
York, well knowing, that the Repub
lican party and not his Democratic
municipal administration would be
responsible for the injury 10 the city
raising from the grab. He thought
he could well afford to shift the res.
possibility on the shoulders Of Cover

say in regard to the bill. Governor |
Odell, on the other hand, did not feel
particularly inclined to veto a bill,
