There was no feature TO the local
cotton market yesterday. The demand
for spots was light and sales of only
16 bales, were reported while in f. o. b.
there was a little business done on the
official quotations of II cents for good
middling. The receipts were 464 bales
and the coastwise exports, 200.
OF special interest, however, was the
unexpected advance in the futures
markets. These opened lower, but on
strong cables from Liverpool and re-
ports of too much water in the Missis-
sippi valley the markets took a turn
upward. Though a part of the adj
vance was lost before the close yet
each of the chief markets closed up,
Liverpool from points down to 3 up,
New York 3 to points up and New
Orleans from 5 to II points up.

in the rates on coal from the mines on
that line in southeastern Kansas TO points
in Kansas This reduction will be ef-

Sometime ago Wichita succeeded in get

city is effected but other points north,

reduction, however, it included change
of the rates on both slack and lump
coal. The change which Will go into ef-

slack coal 10 the greater number of the

This reduction in the rates of coal
