 New Orleans, Jan. 27.-The slight excess in the early decline in Liverpool market was fully compensated before the close. The continent sold in the morning and spec ulative short interests bought towards the close of the session The net result was a gain of point in options and spots lost 6 points on sales of 5000 bales.
 The few points decline observed at our opening was in accord with cables and the subsequent moderate upward movement was attributable to late improvement in the foreign market Traders generally were in- active. manifesting an inclination to await events of character to Justicy the form ing of new opinions.
 Receipts at go leading interior towns, while showing a small increase over last week, were considerably under the eomparA- tive period last year. Stocks, un the other hand, are largely in excess nt last year and slightly under one week ago The weekly movement into sight was larger than es- pected on account of is.0o0 bales arriving at Pacific ports. Opinions as to the prob able beneficial results of tha convention differ only in extent. It is believed that a working basis has been established at least practicable in part. Prlces seem to be quite easily influenced by short covering and would doubtless respond to good spot buy ing but in the absence of these stimulating factors are readily depressed. We rather expect a scalping market will obtain for a while, making either sales on advances or purchases on immoderate declines profit" abla. s'sa

HAYWARD, WICK & CLARK,s COTTON
 LETTER.

(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce, Managers; Phone 73sJ New Orleans, Jan. 27.--Scalping longs bad pretty fair and profitable time in the cot ton market today. Early In thu session the up came from New York that .he market was good tor a turn on the long side and for the first time in many days the long side proved popular with ebe scaIpnR e.s- ment: Their buying combined with heavy proIit taxing by shorts, gave the market a good undertone and sent prices up for a moderate advance. The leading bears are not frightened at anything in the situation and saw nothing permanent in the advance, put on the other hand the bulls were of the opinion that the determination of the farmers to hold has been strengthened the full effect of this holding will be to put prices to much higher levels.
 The opening was steady at decline of In the trading up to 1 o'clock Soon after the first call cables from Liverpool said that prominent bear was heavy buyer in were covered in both markets. scalpers went long for ten-point advance and there seemed to be some buying for tho ac- count of bulls who have determined to stay with the market no matter how low prices go.
 The bulls, however did not let off any prices at the highest were Il and 12 points higher than the lowest levels of the morn ing and and points higher than yester- days closing
 In the spot market the demand was fair throughout the morning and offerings were not more than moderate. Early in the day prices were easy and 1-16c lower to sell. Later the market was called unchanged. Sales to noon totalled about 2,5oo bales. It looks as if there were ctill some few Janu- ary shipments to fill
 Liverpool futures opened steady at de- cline of point and closed 1 to points higher than the closing of yesterday. Pri- vate cablegrams said that Carpenter was buying, that the continent was selling mod erateiy and that the market continued to be featured chiefly by the attempts of bears to manipulate 1t. Spots were in moderate de- mand at easier prices. Sales, 8,000 re- ceipts, 12,ooo. Middling American points off at 3.68.

DISCUSSING SUNDAY CLOSING
Claim Made that Enforcement of New
Law would Cause starvation
in London.

LONDON, July i6.-(Special Cablegrnm TO
The Bee 1.-THE report OF the select COM
mittee OF the House of Lords in favor OF
Lord Avebury's Sunday closing Of shops
bill has raised a storm OF protests among
the dock laborers in the East End Of Lon
don, as well as among the members of the
jewish community.
Under existing conditions, owing to the
early closing act and religious observances
the Jewish traders lose III days in the
year. II Lord Avebury's bill becomes a law
they will lose no fewer than 16s or on an
average of three days and a quarter a
week.
Ben Davis, secretary OF the Whitechapel
and Spltalhelds Costermongers' union, said
In an interview this week that while he re-
garded six days as sufficient for any man
to work, II would be impossible for person
TO earn a livelihood in rather more than
three days. which for Jewish costermongers
and most of them in the East End were
Jews-would be all that remained with
Sunday closing in operation.
Il am sure" he said. that II the Jewish
&C stermongers are prevented from trading
on Sunday it will mean nothing less than
starvation &c thousands OF little children
whose parents depend largely upon their
takng7 at the Sunday markets for their
livelihood. At least 10000 men, women and
children will be affected
Although Lord Aveburys bill provides
for the closing % shops and markets, pub
lie houses, eg well as tobacconists, are ex-
empt. Anything more demoralizing than
this 1t was impossible to conceive Instead
Of inducing man 70 lay out his week s
wages in food and clothing, the bill en-
enursges him to erter the public house,
where he is very l.hely to become drunken
aud dissirated.
'"Thot ssrds Of dock laborers will also be
affected by the BILL when, as frequently
happens, they are Kept working until after
clock on Sunday norning, after which
time m kind &, food is allowed to be sold

TESTING BUTTER AND MILK
Simple Methods Detailed by DIR. w. ID.
BiEelOw of the United states
Bureau of Chemistry.

It is a matter OF common information
that oleomargarine is sometimes substl-
tuted for butter and that rancid aud badly
made butter is frequently melted, washed
with soda, and churned with milk for the
preparation OF renovated or process but
ter
Methods are available which, with little
practice may be employed to distinguish
between fresh butter, renovated or process
butter, and oleomargarine.
The spoon" test has been suggested as
a household test and is commonly used
by analytical chemists for distinguishing
fresh butter from renovated butter or oleo-
margarine, A lump of butter two or three
times the size OF pea is placed in a large
spoon and heated over an alcohol or Bun
sen burner. II more convenient, the spoon
may be held above the chimney Of an or
binary kerosene lamp, or 1t may even be
held over an ordinary Illuminating gas
burner. II the sample in question be fresh
butter it will boil quietly with the evou-
ton of a large number OF small bubbles
throughout the mass which produce a large
amount of foam. Oleomargarine and process
butter on the other hand, sputter and
crackle, making a noise similar to that
heard when a green stick is placed in
hre. Another point OF distinction Is noted
II a small portion of the sample is placed
in small bottle and set in a vessel OF
water sufficiently warm to melt the sam
pie. The sample is kept melted from half
an hour to an hour. when 1t is examined.
II renovated butter or oleomargarine, the
fat will be turbid, while II genuine fresh
butter the fat will almost certainly be en-
tirely clear,
To manipulate, what is known as the
Waterhouse or milk test about two ounces
OF sweet milk is placed in wide mouthed
bottle, which is set in vessel OF boiling
water. When the milk IL thoroughly heated
a teaspoonful of butter is added and the
| mixture stirred with a splinter of wood
| until the fat is melted. The bottle is then
placed in a dish OF ice water and the stir
ring continued until the fat solidihes. Now.
If the sample be butter, either fresh or
renovated 1t will be solidifed In a granular
condition and distributed through the milk
| in small particles. II on the other hand,
! the sample consist of oleomargarine 1t
solidihes practically in one piece and may
be lifted by the stirrer from the milk-New
