PEOPLE WILL TALK.

Yes, people will talk,
 The saying Is true They talk about me,
 And they talk about you. If we go to the opera,
 Some one will say We should go to church
 And learn how to pray. If we go to church
 And offer up our prayers They say we are hypocrites And putting on airs. If we are rich
 They call us a thief, Scoff at our sorrows
 And laugh at our grief. If we are poor
 They say that we shirk, We are always lazy
 And never do work. They talk of our prospects, They talk of our past. And if we are happy
 They say it won't last. They talk of our loved ones, They talk of our foes, They talk of our follies,
 They talk of our woes. They talk of our joys,
 They talk of our fears, They talk of our smiles,
 They talk of our tears. They talk if we're single . And they talk if we wed, They talk of us living,
 And will talk of us dead. Tho we live like an angel, With circumspect walk, Onr efforts are useless
 For people will talk.

of every one wanting to buy and no

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 27.-The cotton
market opened easy and irregular at
an advance of points to decline
of 6 points, and for the first few
minutes, showed rather a declining
tendency as a result of liquidation and
selling for a reaction encouraged by
cables that were a shade below ex-
pectations, and the absence of agrees
sive bull support on the call. After a
decline of about to 10 points on the
three active positions, however, the
market began to improve in tone.
Trading Which at first had been rath-
er quiet became active. Very bull
ish dispatches were coming in as to
the conditions in the Southern spot
markets, and New Orleans sent very
bullish messages as TO speculative con-
ditions in that market. In addition
to this accounts from various dry
goods centers indicated that demand
had been stimulated to some extent by
the recent advances in the raw mater
ial, and that holders were very firm in
their views with some Fall River mills
refusing 4 cents for regulars. New
Orleans bull interests became heavy
buyers shortly before midday. AS
prices worked up the local bull lead

but there was no aggressive selling
and later the market rallied to a still
higher level with March selling at

BULLS on SOUND GROUND.

High Prices for Spot Cotton.

""NteF "a company say Evidence Is
High Prices for Spot Cotton.
New York, Jan. 27.-The better pros
poets in regard to the Eastern situa-
ton left Liverpool in much better
shape than was expected early in the
day. Advices as regards the dry goods
situation were very bullish, prices for
various branches having been ad-
vanced and further advances being
considered as quite probable. Many
small followers of the bull leaders were
shaken out yesterday, this being as
scribed as the programme of the par
ties in control to get rid of the big
army of so-called tailers with a view
of starting a fresh advance to still
higher fgureS later on. The general
situation of the market is as strong as
any previous time this season. The
mere fact that very best prices are be-
ing paid for actual cotton at all inte-
rior towns is sufficient evidence that
the bull leaders are working on
sounder basis than the bears pretend
to believe is the case. First prices
at a slight decline on small sales, but
soon there was steady tone and full
recovery with a scarcity of sellers now
and then. The port receipts were 81
000 against $4,000 last year. Gables
were 2 to lower Manchester re-
ports were more favorable as to the
situation for yarns and cloths. The
interior towns, as heretofore, were re-
porting moderate movement. Local
sentiment was waVering early in the
day, but improved later on.

ALL DEPENDS on BIG BULLS.
Ware & Leland Say Mnnipulntors
Have Cotton Market

New York. Jan. 27.-After the early
weakness, during which it looked as
though the market would break, prices
rallied and advanced to the high point
of the season. July here sold above
1850. and above 5000 in New Or
leans. 1t is not a question of whether
the crop is 10000 900 bales or O,500,-
600. 1t is simply question of the de-
sires of the bulls. The market is now
where a few minds make the price.
Whatever the outcome of this may be,
this is the sole feature to be reckoned
with for the time being. If the big
bulls continue to buy, prices will be
showed up. We cannot see how this
can be prevented. There is now near
ly 50O,0 900 bales of cotton stored in New
Orleans. What does it matter if there
is million bales there held for de-
livery later on and there is no pressure
in the meantime? The only thing to
watch is the operations of big New
York and New Orleans traders. Moth
ing counts but this. When they sell
prices will break. AS long as they
buy, nothing can prevent higher
prices. But it's a very dangerous
market to trade in, and 100 bales now
is as much as 500 bales at lower prices.

Say Buy When the Market Is n Lit
tie Quiet,

New York, Jan. 27.-This morning it
looked as if our prediction of last
night for a hesitating market would
be fulfilled, and for time things look
ed a little shaky for the bulls. But
excellent buying set in, not only for
the bull leaders. but for the outside
public, and we have advanced to an
other high lev.l, well over the 15.50c
for May that yesterday looked like a
limit to the present advance.
Opinions continue conflicting as to
the final yield of this crop, but there
is a growing conviction throughout the
South, as expressed by the kilograms
we have been receiving, that even our
recent estimate is too high, while on
the other hand, print cloths in Fall
River. are now firm at 4c, the highest
price seen in about fifteen years. 1t
looks. therefore, as though prices
would have to be forced higher, and
we continue to advise buying on any
quiet market.
