the presence or absence, the whim OF
caprice, or even the judgment OF q
few voters holding the balance oil
power The saloon is essentially evil
because it is morally bad, and all
the voting of all the towns in Yer
mont, ifrecorded in its favor, could
not change that fact. 1t is generally
recognized and admitted, and the only
defence Of the saloon is not based on
its morality, but on the plea of ex-
pediency. To such a plane is this
great question reduced.
The vote of March LIST does, in
measure, reflect on the present liquor
law It is, in effect, record OF the
peoples preference for the option Of
prohibition over the option of license,
which latter was plainly and unques-
tionably the handspring OF the So
called local option movement. Still,
it should not be overlooked that over
40 towns and cities, among them some
OF the most populous, are committed
to license this year. And, in our
opinion, while the drift Of sentiment
IS indicated by the recent vote. it is
not pronounced enough, nor clear
enough in its meaning. to warrant
he assumption that the law we have
las been condemned, and that another
iystem is desired at this time. 1t
nay not be amiss now, though, to pre-
liet that further trial will only en-
'hasize the unsuitableness OF license
peal option tor Vermont, and that it

each OF these voters could give a con-
Nincing reason, il pressed. Perhaps
they have found the saloon altogether
too attractive and want the Temptation
removed. Perhaps they voted no at
the behest Of wife or mother. Doubt.
less they were inconsistent in their
action, but that doesn't rank as the
deepest of sins.

or lby friVate Wire to Caldwell, Ward & Col NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 2.-Liverpool adviees on the. whole were disappointing. consequently our market opened 3od36 points lower sub sequentiy improved 23Q27 from the bottom on the early steadiness of spots and the con tinued light receipts. About this time 1t was reported that the leading New York bull has liquidated his holdings and intended to soon leave for Florida to recuperate. As the mar ket lacked supporting orders there was a stampede to sell and as stop drders were reached break of S2&94 from the top was quickly established. Heavy buying by the To- cal bull leaders soon occasioned a rally of 30 M4l from the bottom. but as soon as they withdrew values again eased off 9d 0, making the net loss 6od73 points the day. These violent fluctuations are to be expected on wild markets as we are having. and We again think 1t an opportune time to call attention to the fact that all trades should be heavily margned as proectioS to customers and brokers. Those favorable to the article claim that the liquida- tion which has taken place today places the market in healthier condition and predict that values will eventually seek a much higher level. There is no doubt that the statistical situation is strong and barring actual war in the East prices may advance sharply if the extremely short crop views are verified by facts and the next census bureau is as buIlish as anticipated. Notwithstanding the market makes 1t imperative to exercise extreme eau. tion and We therefore suggest to our friends that their operations should be on very con servattve lines and advise that all fractions be well placed.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
SENSATIONAL BREAK AND SUR
 PRISTNG RALLY.
Spots Holding Firm and Support from New Orleans Bulls Carry Prices Upward After Heavy
 Declines Have Been
 Recorded.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of 7Ml6 points on khe old and an advance of I0dI2 points on the new crop positions. The latter were infu- enced by covering and buying here agains. sales in the English market, operation said to he profitable owing to the premiums exist 1DE. while the more active positions came tns for heavy liquidation encouraged by dis apppintng cables and rather heavier receipts foF the day in connection with unfavorable neygE from the Far East. There was continued tuJkng for New Orlt taBs account, however. and after "a decline of about F cent on the ac- five months, the market was rallied to practi- catiy the opening figures after which 1t con- fiuued active and irregular until shortly after ulAaday. Then a report was circulated that the legal bull leader had sold out his holdings and NAN about to retire from the market for an fndeifnite period. This rumor was confirmed to some extent by the bull leader himself. who stated that he considered himself entitled to M hoiiday, but added that his temporary with dFRMaI from the market did not imply that he was no longer interested that he had all tefed his buIlish convictions. The moment the news was circulated however the market be- came perfect Bedlsm of excited gesticuat- ing brokers who seemed to have but one desire nr. earth-and that desire to sell cotton. From f89f. the high point Of the Ioorning, March sold down to 5. 90; May from I7.32 to l6 o5 and July from t7.42 to l6.l5. a net decline aftli to iS6 points on the positions named. TIfa. New Orleans bulls were active buyers at thN decline. however. and soon the market ap- peating to have been sold out, was rallied It wEs' pointed out that the census bureau report Ifi+I4 tD a QAg or so was expected to DrONe very bullish and with private adviccs from the South indicating continued firmness, there was q rally almost sensational as the break with prices in the nTst twenty minutes after the slump commenced showing a recovery of froen 70 te 75 points, At this the market took Blight breathing spell. the situation grew slightly less intense. and trading proceeded tnote quietly Part of the recovery was lost hefpre the Close. but the market was finally stNRdy with the three active months 2o6 52 points up from the bottom, but a net de cline of e5Gs7 points on the old and of 59 &f.points on the crop months. Sales were estimated at 2ooo 900 bales.
 The early decline helped by reports of private settlement said to have been made laNt night In which it was estimated something 4ll1es 100000 bales were concerned.
 Receipts at the ports today 33 5S7 bales eonspared with 3.636 last week and 3I .a54 last year. For the week 36 GOO bales against 3o,293 last week and I94.I6l last year Ioqay's receipts at New Orleans were g AT baiss. against l3,936 last year and at Hous- H1 .3o6 bales, against il.3i4 last year.
