The vogue of tiny fans not much long

that the limit has been reached. some ol

seems to have been attained. and SO
cleverly are the flowers fastened to the

most every breath, assume the airy look
of a blossom or leaf fresh picked. even
with the drops of dew, as seen in the
brilliants glittering here and there on

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 26.-The cotton mar
get opened easy at unchanged prices
to a decline of points under liquida-
ton and selling In expectation of re-
action based on rather disappointing
cables, somewhat heavier receipts, less
favorable news from the Far East;
and the theory that the advance hav-
ing been so sharp, entitled the mar
ket to at least a temporary set back.
After showing some further weakness
Immediately after the opening when the
three active months were about S@9
points net lower prices were rallied
sharply by renewal of bull support.
The local bull leader appeared to be
buying aggressively and large buying
orders were executed by houses with
New Orleans connections, while the
Southern market itself led in the ad
vancing tendency, with July there
reaching 1920. Inside of the first
twenty minutes, prices here had passed
the previous high point, and the adj
vance was not checked until March
had sold at 1920; May, 15.5Oc; July at
15.60c-a net gain of 15G16 points on
the positions named. The advance had
been accompanied by increasing &C
tivity, but at this level trading became
rather quiet and the market for d
time ruled irregular. Interior receipts
for the day pointed toward a COM
paratively heavy movement, and while
advices from Fall River indicated a
firm goods market at advancing prices,
it was rumored that leading bull in
terests had recently been selling more
than they bought, and outside longs
began taking profits. The result was
an easier market, and downward
trend until the late trading. March
reached $1,000; May, 15.20c, and July,
15.2Sc. This represented a decline from
the best of from 29G32 points, and a
net loss of 1917 points on the posi-
tions named. Just before the close
the local bull leader started buying
again, and rallied the market several
points, with prices finally steady, net
4616 points lower. The large exports
helped in the late advance, as an Offset
to the larger receipts and official ad-
vices from the South indicated firm
to higher spot markets, although trans
actions were light.
Sales were estimated at 100000
bales.
Receipts of cotton to-day at all ports,

and SS. asa last year. For the week,
$4,000 bales, against 15S,245 last week

ceipts at New Orleans were $3.50 bales,
against 1853 last year.

Futures opened quiet, with prices 3
to 10 points lower. The lower open
ing was caused by disappointing Liv-
erpool cables, the opening there show
ing a small decline and an advance
of only to points at the time of
the opening of the local markets. In
view of the wide advances here yes
terday the course of the English mar
ket had a temporary depressing effect,

SIGNS OF EXHAUSTION.
Baxter 4 Co. Say Decrease I'm Re-
ceIpts Significant Forecast.

ceipts Slgnifcan mt Forecast.
New York, Jan. 26.-Unsatisfactory
advices came from Liverpool this
morning, the market there failing to
move forward as expected. This was
due to the war clouds. and foreign
buyers were not slow to avail them
selves of the more threatening aspect
of affairs. AS regards cotton iself.
the situation has by no means weak
ened. On the contrary, the demand
continues active.
The supply shows signs of exhaus-
ton, manufacturers are recognizing
the changed situation, and what is
more, sellers consider 1t dangerous to
stand in the way of a higher mar
ket. In fact the higher the market
goes the less opposition is shown by
the remnant of the bear force. The
opening sales were at 3 to 10 points
decline, but there was no anxiety to
sell, and at once there was a recovery
and subsequently advance was record
ed, especially in July, which sold up
to 1860 soon after the market open
ed.
The bulls in New Orleans were re-
ported as securing the country for
all of the available supply of spot
cotton. The general belief Is that the
high price has attracted cotton to mar
ket very generally and that the in
terror is bare of supplies as never be-
fore. A fall in supplies is not i'm
probable, beginning with the coming
week. Liverpool closed at to 9 points
net advance. Outside buying here was
again heavy and by good people. Hold
ers at &c profit were unprepared to
sell. Ports to-day were 10000 estimat-
ed, against 3S,4S4.
