HAYWARD, WICK & CLARK's COTTON LETTER.

(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce. Managers; Phone 73s)
 New Orleans Jan. 7.-The volume of trade
 in the cotton market today extremely small, even for the last day of the week. The market was dull and narrow throughout the short session. The situation showed no new developments; there was fair demand for the better grades of spots. but the farm CT complacently held his cotton. The open ing was called steady with the prices un- changed and six to eight points lower than the the closing of yesterday. Liverpool was at keL with prices showing decline of four to five points, The closing of Asnerican of three points. but when it was considered that both curb markets last night were weak and lower, the decline in the English market appeared sgs stified
 After the opening. the general expectation was for a lower market This was due. chiefly. to private cdvices from New York gently left the ranks of the bears and who have been working for advance, have liquidated. However. instead of gong low CT. the market took on an uuaccountable spurt which carried the active months from one and two points lower than the closing of yesterday. to levels five to nine points higher than yesterdays final prices.
 The visible supply statement was extrenIe- ly buIlish and was offset to a small exteht only by the spinners' takings which wefe moderately bearish. The variations in the supply statement showed a total decrease of 45.s65 bales. against an increase last year of 39,024 and an increase in 1903 of 12.310: a decrease in American of 57.6S5 bales. against a decrease last year of 4o.s76 and a decrease in 1903 or 3s.693 Spinners talk ings were 340,oo0 bales, against 364,00o last year and 34S. 900 in 1903: fair demand for the better grades of cotton was in evidence from the opening. In the earlier hours fac tors tried to get higher prices. demanding fin most instances advance of hc over yesterdays quotations. Buyers refused to trade at this level and factors weS>A forcea C to trade at unchanged prices. where they traded at all. On this basis about l.OOo bales were sold on the spot up to II o'clock. In f. O. b. cotton, offerings were not any freeP than they were yesterday. In the neighborhOod of 1000 bales were sold be- fore Il o'clock.
 Private cables from Liverpool said that at the opening New Orleans and importers were heavy sellers. but that later London bought heavily and caught Liverpool joo- bers short.

THE FINANCIER's srATEMENT.

New NOrk, Jan. l.-1ne Flnd meier says;
 The most notable feature of the official statement of the New York associated banks last week was its failure to reflect in the cash item, the large gain which vas estI. mated from the traceable movements of money during the week, an increase in lega tenders nearly offsetting a loss in specie more than seven and one-half millions cash It is difficult to account for this discrep. ancy on the theory that 1t was caused bs the weeks exports of gold. for these ship menus were included in the estimates and moreover the traceable gain was chiefly from the interior. representing the return flow of currency.
 The net decrease in cash shown by the statement was $795.300, specie decreasing s4.s70.soO. while legal tenders increased $4.- 075.50O. Deposits were augmented $5. .11s;N 800. which was $2.s73.3oo In excess of the sum of the increase in loans less the loss of cash: therefore the statement showed an
 The required reserve was increased sl., 279,s75 through the augmented deposits cash made a decrease of s2.075,175 in sur plus reserve to $1i,60S.250. about three mil lion less than the surplus at the correspond
 Computed on the basis of deposits less those of s22 ,39l, 200 public funds, the sur plus last week was $17S06.050 Loans were dinary loaning operations. The daily aver age of clearings was $371.000, 900. against $27o,ooO in the previous week This large increase doubtless represents shifting oi loans incident to the January disbursements the elearings on saturday refiecting Fri days business were $S5s,545.153. The state ment wa. probably made up on declining av- erages for cash. for there were large with. drawals of gold at the end of the week fo, indirect export to Japan and for shipment to Argentina Stili it would seem that con- sidering the fact that in the previous weeh there was a large unaccounted for gain oi cash as a reeult of receipts from the in. terior and $1t last week there was still greater alin from the discrepancies oi the last fortnight ought soon to be cor rected, enabling the statement to show con. siderable increase in this item of cash.
 Comparisons show that five banks in- creased loans by one and one-third mil lions net; seven banks gained one and one half millions net cash One interesting fea- ture of the statement is that with the ex- ception of 1902 th's is the first time in fiteen years that there has been decrease in surplus reserve; even in that year the 900

G. E. PIERCE s CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

.
 fBy Private Wire from Gibcrt & ciay.)
 New Orleans. Jan. 7.-The market possess ed few interesting features today Liverpool accepted the late weakness tf the cs-At- lantic markets shown on the curb and closed four to five points lower for the ecy. which. however was slightly better than
 he lower opening caused by selling of i'm 1orters. the few points gain being attrihured Q covering of shorts. Spots gained il points on sales of 1000 bales. Virtually nc ,hange from yesterdays close was observed
 t our opening and trading throughout the halance of the day was desultory with slight fluctuations induced by a small majority of either buying selling orders The va riatious for the week in visible supply state ment showed a decrease of about 4e, DOC bales. against an increase lasi ysar of 3a, 900 bales. or difference of s5.0O0 bales The bullishness of this feature Is weaken ed by the fact that of this amount s8. 0ot bales is other than American cotton The urgent spot buying shows signs of relaxing and more cotton If better grades is offered for sale With the disappearance of this feature which has been such a large con. tributor to the recent strength the market will probably again be dependent on the evi dence of holding by the interior as showr by smaller movement and material benefits of this policy will not ensue unti supplemented with positive evidence of 6 largely reduced acerage we believe in tho interim lower range of prices will be ob served.

SLATER MAKES RESUME
OF DEPARTMENTS WORK
Vigilance Of. Inspectors Is Beginning to
Show Its Effect

A summary of the work done by the
state dairy and food department since
the incumbency of Commissioner z. X.
Slater was issued yesterday and shows
that total of 4.106 samples of food
products have been collected and an
alyzed during that time, 643 of which
were illegal. At this rate 1t is expected
that the department will analyZe 10000
samples during the year.
or milk and cream samples 924 have
been tested. AS evidence of the good
results OF the activity of the depart
ment it is stated that whereas the first
100 samples averaged 3.4S per cent but
ter fat below the legal average, the
last 100 averaged 3.S5 per cent, an aver
age Increase Of 81 per cent. The
number of samples of all kinds
collected and examined during the
last three months is said to ex-
coed that of any past record of the
department. This fact Is pointed to
with pride when 1T is remembered
that the Minnesota department has
been the leader in pure food agitation

by the constant demand from contestants
Tor copies containing pictures concerning

doubt and are trying to make doubly
sure of by submitting two or more solu-

came to buy complete sets of the papers
containing the whole series of fifty prov

From the number of these latter II
would seem that a great many persons
are deciding at the last moment that
they want to try out their knowledge of
those jewels of written thought along
with the hundreds, of others who are and

half. THESE persons, when they secured
their papers, expressed the universal in
tention of putting in quiet sabbath with
the proVerb writers and catching up with
the procession so as to finish Tues
day afternoon, when the contest finally
closes.

BRIDGE CONTRACTORS
RUN OUT OF BARS
Repair Work Is Delayed and Council
Asked for Extension of Time

The common council will probably be
asked to grant an extension of time for
the completion of the high bridge by
the contractors, the st. Paul Foundry
company, on the representations of the
company that the steel mills have fail
ed to supply on time thirty 1 bars.
The contract calls for the completion
of the bridge by May 1, and provides a
penalty of s25 day after that date.
City Engineer Rundfett is of the
opinion that the contractors are not to
blame for the delay caused by failure
on the part of the mills to deliver sup
plies, as the order for this material was
placed sometime ago. Mr.. Rundlett be-
lieves that the bridge will be completed
by June 1, if no other unforeseen cause
for delay arises.
