the inhabitants OF the country Inn

Market Ruled
By War Feeling
CONSIDERABLE FLUCTUATIONS
IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE RELi-
ABLE FORECASTS.

NEW YORK. Jan. THE market
was dominated again today by the war
situation in the far east The diverg
ence Of opinion among traders as to
the effect of actual hostilities has been
great enough to cause rather wild
fluctuations. Az far as is known and
as far as the public believe war Is in
evitable and probably 1t is only by a
most miraculous change in policy Of
one of the nations involved that 1t can
be averted AS far as the cotton mar
ket is concerned, the course of the
market, in all probability. will be up
ward after the worst Is known. There
are certain signs of an early and
sharp falling off In the movement of
the cotton market Southern advices
are united in stating that the receipts
will indicate the correctness of mini.
mum crop estimates within the next
few weeks. and this is counted on to
again start the operators and legiti-
mate buyers Of staple into activity IN
this side of the market. These things
are not unlikely to happen and in any
event, we adhere 70 our views that be.
yond possible decline as result of
war, the market is in a safe position
for the purchases at present level. Il
Us impossible. however. to forecast the
market within narrow lines, under ex-
isting conditions. Changes should Dc
backed up with strong convictions and
good margins, and that at this level,
the other side Of the market is exceed
ingly dangerous territory to explore.

TWENTY-sEvEN SHARKS
Caught on One Hook When Deep Sea
Fishing Was Good.

From the New York World.
did you ever hear of catching twenty
seven sharks with one hook?" asked
Bosn L. w. Eacott of the British bark
Antigua, yesterday. The bark Captain
Brady lies at tie foot of Richards street,
Brooklyn.
II never heard tell OF such thing until
fair and full winds left us on the home
ward way from Buenos Ayres. just above
the equator. The ship hadn't been be-
Gained in the tropics more'n fifteen
minutes. when along came an ordinary
sized shark nosing around.
Word was passed up forra'd and n
chunk of pork as big as my head was
baited on a hook and cast astern. The
shark took right hold and we hauled ii
alongside and aboard.
ut was a peculiar kind of a shark that
didn't have no teeth whatever, and its
tail, which had two flukes to it, was
about half as long as it's body.
''Well, we cut open the shark to see if
we could find any curios inside. There
were no curios. nor nothing of that sort.
All there was in that shark that we could
find was twenty-six little sharks, so that
made tventy-seven sharks all told caught
with one hook.
THE little ones were about six inches
long, all alive, and all were toothless and
having white stomachs.
II wanted the cook to make a shark
stew, for young shark is tender and good
eatin', but the other hands wouldn't listen
to It. so we threw 'em all overheard,
and the cook put another bit of beef in
soak"
