CHANCE
 FROM SATURDAY Cotton Market Continues Quiet
 and Marrow NEW ORLEANS WAS BUYING After Prices Had Worked Up the De. mand subslded and Soon Scalp
 CTS Began to Take
 Their Profits.
NEW ORLEANS WAS BUYING

New York, March 6-The cotton mar ket continued quiet, with fluctuations narrow and irregular and final prices showing practically no change, as com pared with Saturday. The opening was steady at an advance of 2@4 points in response to the cables and some talk of unsettled weather in the south, which it was thought might result in further delay to new crop preparations. New Or leans appeared to be buying here also probably shorts covering in preparation for the holiday in that market tomorrow and during the early trading prices worked up to net advance of about Go points. Demand subsided at the higher level, and with room scalpers who had bought for turn on the opening taking profits, there was a reaction to prac- tically the opening figures, where the market ruled very quiet and irregular un- til midday, shortly after which the lower Wall street crowd began to sell little more freely.
 There were reports of increased spot offerings in the south and the market, while steady at the close. was within a point or two of the lowest at net un- changed prices to an advance of 1 point.
 Sales were estimated at 125,000 bales; re- ceipts at the ports today, 27,375 bales, against 24,165 last week and S625 last year.
 For the week, estimated, 150.000 bales, against 157, ,S17 last week and 51,2S3 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans were 10,55l bales, against 4201 last year, and at Houston. 6565 against 1922 last year.

Llneoln,a Romance.

From the Atchison QSan) Globe.
 If a man becomes great in after years the misdeeds of his youth are figured as the eccentricities of genius, Did you know. for instance, that the immortal Abraham Lincoln once shook n girl at the altar7 He was engaged to marry Ann Rutledge, of Bloomington H., and she died. Her death, 1t Is said. was caused by grieving over a lover in the East who had forgotten her, making the story more complicated. Five years af- ter her death Lincoln met and became engaged to Mary Todd, of Springfield. The wedding was set for January 1, 1S41, the bride and guests and preacher were present, but Lincoln didn't show up He later told Miss Todd that he was griev- ing over his lost love; that the spirit of Ann Rutledge was near him, and he couldn't marry another" This was ac- cepted as a sentiment showing the true heart of the young man, and Miss Todd, instead of giving him up said that she loved him all the more, and he must marry her anyway Almost year later, in November, 1s41, they were married And history shows that Lincoln would have done better If he had obeyed his instincts and fled from Miss Todd for fl was a very unhappy match.

sm,.Ien ( Co.'s Market Letter.

Stocks-Although a strong tone pre- vailed in large part of the list this morning, spectators were inclined to pursue a conservative policy. The char acter of the Presidents message was much better than was expected, and was reflected in higher quotations. The decision of the Northern Securities case rendered by the Supreme court was in favor of the Hill-Morgan crowd. This had bullish influence on Union Pacific which gained about per cent. The bull ish sentiment of MT George Gould stim- lated an advance in the southwestern stocks. Canadian Pacific was another strong feature. and gained over 2H per cent on the theory that 1t Is below equal ity with other stocks paying the same rate of dividends. Southern Pacific gained over l per cent, and Reading rallied IF. St. Paul was in good demand az fractionally higher prices. Sloss- Sheffield and Tennessee Coal & Iron were very nervous. Sloss opened 31k lower. at S31s. and later on rallied to 90, while Tennessee Coal & Iron opened un- changed at S9, sold down to S7. after which 1t rallied to go. It Is understood that the Hoadley interests have no op- tion in Sloss stock and that the only stock they hold is stock which they have bought in the last few weeks.
