New York, Jan. S.-The dry goods

of any weakness, and with the ten
dency of print cloths toward a higher

numerous that a further general read

NORDEN & COMPANY
StilI Advise Selling on Any Strong
Market.

New York, Jan. S.-We have had an
other sharp advance this morning, or
iginating in Liverpool, the only ex-
PLANTATION being that there were heavy
buying orders in that market, while
the supposition here is that these or
ders emanated to great extent from
New Orleans with the view of boost
ing Liverpool and New York, while the
New Orleans market was closed. The
feeling on the floor tonight is bullish
in general but we continue to feel
that until the Eastern political trou-
bles are settled prudence is advisable
in buying, and we would rather adj
wise selling moderately on any strong
market.

MANY strong spots and they were de-
veioped in rotation. spreading the eff
feet of the strength through the SEES

general list did not become animated
at any time and the days business
was considera bly, contracted from the
recent average. Some of the most
nota BILE features Of recent advances
were laggard or inclined to sag on
light offerings. AS against the sharp
gains in special stocks there were no
well-defined weak spots but only dull
ness and heaViness. There was re-
Vival of confidence that the Northern
Securities decision was 1m medlateiy
imminent, but some uncertainty was
professed as to what its character
would be, SO that this served to in
duce some hesitation rather than TO
stimulate speculation, as has usually
been the case. The strength of st.
Paul was generally attributed, how
ever, to hope of an early decision of
the securities case. The most notable
advance were divided between stocks

prices in cotton helped railroads which
have a large traffic in that commodity

advantage of q sale of SIP, 000,0 OF

based on rumors of an intended in
crease in the dividend on one of its
subsidiary companies. The December
first settlements are here and the pay
