Fourteenth Century Life.

In the fourteenth century people lived in mud huts. with rough door and no chimney. It was not tin cen tury later that the erection of a Chim. ney was considered more than an in dulgence In luxury, a fire commonly being built against the mud plastered wall of the hut and the smoke eScap- ing through the roof All furniture was of wood. Most persons slept on straw pallets, with log of wood for a pillow. Even the nobility had no glass in the windows during this time. Cleanliness was not a characteristic of the people, and Thomas a'Becket was considered more than necessarily nice because he had the floor of his house strewn with fresh straw each day,

 MT. Barr said today that while the competition between the seaDoard and the Southern was becoming very warm, the Seaboard cannot inaugurate a passenger service over the Atlanta and Birmingham division for some time yet because in the main the new tracks must be allowed to settle thor oughly.
 The Southern and Alabama Great Southern have issued orders at the union passenger station that no more tickets are to be sold routing passen- gers over the Southern from Blrming- ham to Atlanta and then north over the Seaboard Air Line.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.
c. E. PIERCE 8 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

ay.l
 New Orleans. Jan. 31.-If a storm in- anee of magnitude in the cotton market shortly due. Dullness pervaded all maFlsets today. An entire absence of speculation was reported from Liverpool although the early quotations were slightly lower than logically due prices were adjusted upon eis- Atlantic markets evineing corresponding weakness At the close, the decline in ops Gions points and spots advanced 1 point on sales of 5000 bales.
 With all the dullness an undertone of Rteadiness was manifest throughout the day in our market. In the absence of fresh sell ing orders a moderate amount of buying was required to cause small advances. The under tying feature of strength was the difficulty of spot buyers to fully execute orders at quotations, and the almost total absence of offerings from the country, and the good buying of spots reported from other ports The census report of tomorrow may be ex- peeted to comprise much roo counties 60 the final figures, while no allowance will hs made for EInneFs refusing to report until the final issue Approximations covering the amount of this deficiency should not De difficult.
 Indications that values show a tendency to bettarmsnt are not entirely absent. and, in view of the spot situation, 1t would not De surprising experience an improvement, but the theories advanced to make 1t lasting are entirely new and of exceedingly doubtful afficiency when permanency Is considered. VIC are, therefore, more inclined to advise sales on bulges than purchases. believing that ultimately the excess in supriy will bs the factor in controlling prices.

HAYWARD, vIOK ( CLARK's COTTON
 LETTER,

Nby Dlrect HflNat0 wire to virgin ~ Eauncet
 Managers; Phone 73S)
 New Orleans. Jan. Sl.-It was quiet day on the Cotton Exchange. Both bulls and bears appeared to be feeling the sit uatiou before NnalIing any new move. There is no disputiHN the fact that bullish senti- ment showed signs of growing and aFgu- ments on the floor of the exchange showed that the market was no longer the one sided affair 1t has been. Perhaps the chief feature of the day was the announcement that the cotton pool had organized itself into company under the name of the Southern Planters Commission and Holding dent. The charter, 1t is understood, was tiled with the recorder of mortgages today. Frank B. Hayne is olso prominently iden- titled with the pool, being one of the vice. presidents, together with A. Brittin, presl- dent~ot- the Cotton Exchange, and g. P. Welmsisy an ex-pHesideht of the Cotton Ex- with prices from points lower to 3 points higher than yesterdays close. Liverpool was lower than expected and evidently was not much impressed with the preparations Tor putting the bull pool on a business like basis as has been a certain element in both or the American markets.
 New York came in steady at an advance or l to points. From the opening New York traders flooded the local market with buliish teleErams and traders there seemed to welcome the return of bullish feeling, even did the majority of local traders These telegrams had their effect and caused some buying for long account and some liquidation Of short contracts. On this buying prices were sent up from level to 1 and points lower than the closing of yesterday until they were and 10 points higher than yes terday's final prices.
 At 1 o'clock the market was dull but very steady
 Only moderate amount of trading was done in the spot market. The demand was good enough. but offerings were extremely limited and the market was swept bare by buyers who wanted January bills of ladlng The country offered little or nothing and in consequence f. O. b. business was re- stricted. Telegrams from Mississippi and Alabama that buyers were unable to do any business at all. such was the firmness with which farmers were holding. LID to I o'clock sales in the spot department totalled about 2.S0O bales, of which 1000 were sold after hours yesterday. Some buyers called the market firm and 1-16c higher

15-1eo. It Is now sixty days since tae interior stopped marketing freely, and many were they who expressed the opinion that the farmer was not able to hold on to his ences of the past, forkettins that the plant CT Is in a far better financial condition Result of the exceptionally good prices which the crops of the past five years were sold at, and that conditions in the country are quite the reverse of what they were in the early niueties. All that has been ac- complished during the past two months in the face of facts that assure beyond a shadow of a doubt but that the crop will be two million bales in excess of the worlds re- quirements. is due to farmers being able to take care of their own property, perhaps for the first time in the history of the trade. Taking time by the forelock. they are now at work making themselves more powerful in the commercial world by organizing in every school district of the belt. This Is being done in advance of the planting sea- son for the next crop, preparations for which VIII commence in the Southwest with the close of next month. when about one-quarter or about 25 per cent of the acreage will be thrown out and a like reduction in the use of Fertilizer will be made. Having this work in view, farmers can hardly be expect ed to sell their cotton at prevailing prices when they know full we'll that the cambaiGn to be followed out is in khe interest of high CT prices and will bring about substantial advance if only lived up to, and every planter should see to it that his neighbor keeps his pledge Foreign consumers have been postponing purchases from week to week until they are now almost at the end of their rope. December shipments were to February end they are no better off to- day than they were two months ago, having been tearing their heads off in the mean time. The second bulletin on cotton ginned will add to the 201,521 bales reported ginned in 2lB counties since Dec. 18th.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
CONSIDERABLE FTRNENEss IS SHOWN DURING THE AFTERNOON. Talk of Better Demand for Spots and Dts- appointment Over Effect of the 2 Forecast of the Census
 Bureau's State-
 unamk,

New York, Jas. sl.--After a quiet and uninteresting morning during which prices barely moved, the cotton market became more active and showed considerable firm ness, chiefly as a result of talk of a better apot demand and disappointment among small shorts that the expectation of a bear tah census report tomorrow hod not been accompanied by more aggressive opera tions on the part of the bear leaders.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points. which was slightly lower futures than warranted by the New York close of the previous day, this showing being offset to some extent by the relative steadiness of the English spo. market and full receipts reported.
 With first smaller professionals in the To- cal market seemed beartsh on the theory ad- vanced by the bear leaders that the weaker shorts had covered on the bulge of yester- day and some long interest had accumulated which might be forced out by a slight de- cline but finding that there was no az Rressive selling, these interests covered their early sales later in the day, thus adding O the force of the buying on the afternoon advance.
 The local market was flooded around midday by private wires from New Orleans claiming great firmness among interior hoideEs, and while port receipts for the day interior movement was small and estimated receipts for leading points tomorrow light.
 In the late trading New Orleans seemed to be buying here and there was consider able covering with the result that the mar ket was finally very steady at an advance of fO6ale points. Sales of futures were es- tinnatad at 200,000 bales.
