I'M COTTON MARkE

NEW YORK, Feb. 2o.-on the cotton
exchange today March opened only 9
points lower, where it should have
started 20 points lower. and It imnie-
diately began to rise, and was soon 5
points above Saturdays close and L
above the opening. Shorts were the
heaviest buyers. The balance Of the list
shared the strength, and all deliveries
rushed toward the Scent level, impelled
by a large local and public demand.
Private cables said the decline in
March in the market at Liverpool was
due to freer offerings from the South
and selling by importers and Alexandria
interests. Advices from the South stated
that considerable spot cotton had been
sold on Friday and Saturday on limits
at ~ cents.

CITIZENS GENERALLY
COMPLY WITH SNOW LAW

Reports to Major Sylvester from all
the police precinct officers In the city
today state that the snow and ice law
has been practically complied with and
that warrants have been issued in all
cases where sidewalks have not been
cleaned, except where the owner of the
offending lot is q nonresident
The report of the First precinct was
interesting in that it referred to a rul-
ing by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
to sprinkle ashes or sand on sidewalks

blown the first deposit away though
officers might request householders to
do so
