Caldwell 6 Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller & Co.
 New York January 2s.-The ostenslbe reason for the reaction in the stock mar ket today was the apprehension of war and the dubious article of the Iron Age cn the steel situation. Although the for eign security market did not foreshadow any material reaction here, nevertheless Wall street was full of war rumors all day and there appeared to be some ap- prehension in legitimate banking circles It is to be noted, however that there was no reflection of this apprehension either in the local money market, or in the Chicago grain market An unpleasant effect was also created by the incident of the striking off the list of the Steel Foun- cries stock by the stock exchange. Atchi- son show ed considerable resistance, but finally gave way with the balance. The market clcsed weak near the bottom

 Buying is more liberal, but conservatism is still the watchword of the buyer who is afraid of bidding the market against

cothran & Co.'s Grain Letter.

By Ware Leland.
 Chicago, January 2S.-Wheat selling ap- peared at the start on lower cables and a bearishly constructed price currett re- port, commission houses putting out fair amounts, but there was buying by Ar mour, while the Trego-Smith crowd sold July. Good buying appeared on the break due to the strength in outside markets and the cash demand with an inclination shown by the trade to get out of May and into July.
 The strength in Kansas City was due largely to a reduction in freight rates, but late in the session considerable war talk was indulged in, the situation in the east being regarded as more pessimlstic than ever. It was the impression that Armour interest sold May at 90 cents and above, but the buying of July was good and we favor its continuance on strong spots.

New York Cotton Futures.
The New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 28.-Spot cotton in. active demand and somewhat peter supply. Sales, $500 bales including HOO to arrive and 800 fob. Prices advanced sse Futures were irregular at the open ing and showed an advance of 13 to S5 points. The market pulled itself until an advance of about 25 points had been scored in March, May and July. At this point liquidation became heavy. In spite of the profit taking, bull leaders freely predicted that March would reach 16 cents before the day was over. It did as soon as they took hand and helped to absorb the offerings by satisfied longs. The Liverpool market reported sensa- tional advances equaling about half a cent in American values, and this give the impetus to the advance of the day that at it's height compared with last evenings closing figures, amounted to 51 points in January at 15.S3, March 56 points at 1920, May 61 points at 1669 and July 56 points at 1890. Later in the session heavy liquidation caused a recession of 1S to IS points, the market closing firm with net gains of 5s to 45 points,

The st. Charles Banner says:
UIn the Judicial convention here on
June 30, Audrain county will cast
her seven votes for Hou. F. r..
Jesse; Montgomery her four votes
for Judge Barnett; Lincoln her six
votes for Hon. E. B. Voolfolk.
In that convention Warren will
have one vote and st. Charles, Ave.
There will be % votes in the con.
vention, 12 necessary for a choice.
Il is evident from the above that
a deadlock is very probable, If
Audrain and Lincoln should sup
port their respective candidates
first. last and all the time the
ten votes Of the remaining counties
cannot nominate. It is to be
hoped that deadlock will be
aYoided. The people are more
vitality Interested In the circuit
judgeship than any other Office,
aud a scramble over the nomin-
alton would be unseemly and de-
ploable. There is no reason why
there should bea deadlock, just
let those ten votes OF the remaip-
Ing counties, Or even halfof them,
60 to Mr.. Jesse, and the thing viii
be done ia 0less then no time
