 New York. January 15-The market closed inactive and weak. In the after noon a rally was made in copper. The only trading was by operators on the floor to even up. Commission houses generally re- ported a very light days business. Copper acted we'll on buying by floor It has given some evidence of accumulation in the re- cent past There was a good deal of ma nipulaton in Erie, worked on the theory of giving selling orders to well-known houses and buying orders to others of less prominence.

COTTON OPENS AT
 SLIGHT ADVANCE Rise Attracted Rather Heavy
 Liquidation LIGHT BUYING ORDERS Toward the Close the Market Turned Quite Firm and More Active on New Orleans and Philip
 pine Buying.


 New York, January 15.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of F to 21 points following higher Liverpool cables than expected, and the outlook for continued light receipts which pro- noted both covering by yesterdays late selling, and some fresh buying for long account
 The advance however, as has been the case recently, seemed to attract once the market developed a downward tendency that continued until the active months had been depressed to net gain of only about 2 to points.
 At this level brokers with New Orleans connections executed light buying orders and the market began to do better, sell ing up to about the highest point so far for the day just before the noon hour. There was very little demand from out side sources and the local contingent by moderate scalping trades. soon brought about another down turn that carried prices back to nearly the previous low point
 Following this, the market continued more or less irregular, but turned quite firm and more active toward the close on what appeared to be New Orleans and Philadelphia buying. The market was finally steady with January a2 points higher and the months at an advance of 12 to 21 points. Sales estimated at 300 900 bales.

 New Orleans. January 15.-Spot cotton active, firm and higher. It was claimed by conservative brokers that European spin ners were in the spot cotton market with a good demand, and that eastern mills were also buying. It was stated that 1t was only a matter of a few days before heavy shipments for Europe would clear the port, which would put m end to the arguments being made by the shorts that an immense quantity of cotton was being accumulated here. Sales today, 9000 bales, including $500 to arrive Delivered on con- tracts, 300; quotations 3-16 higher.
 Futures opened 15 to 20 points higher and the American became nervous with wide fluctuations, an Ideal condition for the scalper. The better opening was caused by favorable Liverpool cables re- porting fairly wide advances in both spots and futures. and a continuation of the brisk spot trading that has been a feature of the Liverpool market for several days past After the initial advance there was a recession followed by another advance. and another recession. The course of May illustrates the fluctuations in all months.

TALKED POLITICS.
Maple River Farmers Club had no
Time for any Other Topic on Their
Program last Week.-Congressm
Fordney Present at Meeting.

Ordinarily politics are supposed to be
tabooed in meetings of the Maple River
Farmers Club but last weeks meeting
held at the farm residence of Mr.. and
Mrs John F. Bilhimer, was striking
exception. The first number on the
literary program of the afternoon was
discussion of the relative merits of
county and state primary REFORM The
club never got beyond the first topic
and the remainder of the program went
by default to the October meeting.
The Maple River Farmers Club is
one of the most remarkable in the
state. Made up Of both sturdy demo-
Gratis and republicans alike, whenever
the members do get into the discussion
of any political subject they do the
matter up as thoroughly as they know
how. Once they have finished the dis
cussion they are like one big, we'll
brought-up family again-the thought
of any differences of political opinion
cannot disturb the harmony which al
ways exists among its members.
1t was this way on last week Thurs
day. The discussion was warm at times
but the best of feeling prevailed through
the entire meeting. No one present
could have denied that there was any
interest in primary reform and the
agreement that there should be some
way discovered of getting the nominal
ing power closer to the people was
general The agreement on plan for
that was not so definite. There was a
marked tendency in some quarters to
criticise the republican party for not
having given the entire state general
primary law and tendency toward the
approval of the democratic plank de-
claring for compulsory adoption by all
counties and districts in the state,
whether they desire the change or not,
of uniform primary law. In this dis.
cussion the democratic members of the
club, as they could well afford to do,
rested on their oars pretty generally
and enjoyed the situation. They had
the unusal experience Of seeing at least
one democratic plank meeting with ap.
proval from part of their republican
I fellow members and no one can blame
them much for making the most of it.
There was just one point however
where the democratic members are
likely to come up short. For republi.
cans to be in earnest in desiring some
Improvement in the primary laws is
one thing. For them to convince them
selves that their duty to the state and

THE THING
Bowling Is Fast Becoming
 a Rage

Since the installation of the Elks' bowling alley, the interest in bowling has been growing with a rapidity which promises that it will be greater than that which attached to basket ball upon it's first introduction here or than was manifested iu handball In fact, bowl ing is very likely to become the rage in Skagway,
 Already there is talk Of lhe forma- tion ot teams and challenges from one person to another, are daily and almost hourly occurrences.
 Among the most enthusiastic bowl CTS in Skagway at the Elks' alley, are E. A. Murphy, P. E. Kern, C. w. Hoe kett, F. c. Flaherty, J. M, Tanner, H. .L. Johnson and others.
 The donation of a loving cup by F.. E. Kern, to be given to the person mak- the best score before January l, next, has served to increase the interest. The Elzs' house committee, which has charge of the club rooms is discussing the proposition of giving a medal each month for the best score made during the month.
