The action of Director North of the

ginners for the following information:
T" How many bales ginned for the season
of 1906?
:" What is the average weight of bales
ginned to date?
What is your estimate of the percentage

swers to the first question on January 23 in
the statement that 9.99S III bales had been
ginned. The result of the other two in
quiries have been withheld SO far. | wired
Mr.. North as follows:
" For what purpose was the average
weight OF bales and estimated amount of

tanned In your recent ginnerS' report? AS
this Is public official informa ton. kindly

1a94-5, but have been made part of the
census bureau report of 9-99S,111. Deduct
ing the 100000 bales from the published
total of 9,9aS, III leaves 95aS, Ill 10 be
counted In the crop of 1866. Add to this
10000 bales and there still remains a crop
under 10,O00000 bales. He says wide In
vestigation shows that spot holders are not
selling their cotton and that practically
there is no cotton for sale In the face OF
the present depression.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The call In the bond list at today's meet
ing OF the stock exchange was followed with
apparent interest by the members, and
while the actual trading was not large. stiil
as a rule the tendency seemed to be that
a market was found at slight recessions
from prevailing rates. and In some cases
at slight advances.
In the latter class were the bonds OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
paiiy, which sold at 6Sh. Gas bonds ana
telephone bonds were bought on the higher
level Of late days. and the same was true
of the steamboat bonds.
The selling in the case of Capital Traction
stock was again prominent on account OF
the yoiume. The price was uniform at l4t,
and the buying was not strong enough u
exhaust the supply at that price
A one hllndred-share lot was Included IN
the selling and another similar lot was lot
sale at quarter advance. but Inc pest
bid was 145.
The preferred stock of the Washington
Railway aad Electric Company did not fs-
ure largely in the trading, but what trans
actions were made were on about the same
level as has prevailed. Sales were maze OF
fractional lots and quotations lots az oA.
and after call some fractional lots went TOT
an eight less. The bid remained half
point below the asking price.
Some of the common stock was for sale
al slight advance over AZ, and when the
bid rose to that point it was brought out
After that supply was exhaused the bid
ding remained firmly at AZ.
What was done In the trust company
stock list and bank list was not OF unusual
character. Some lots We're disposed of on
about the general level that has prevailed
\ twenty-share lot of Union Trust Com
pany stock went for lao, and while that
transaction does not mark the high record
in that stock. still it is a rather notable
notch in the upward course
The few sustaining orders that came in
for LanSton We're not sufficient to hold it
against the selling, and the result was that
the price went below IA, a point where 1t
has stayed for the most part since the COM
ing down from the higher levels.
After 1000 shares had been offered for
seven-eighths some 100-share lots We're
taken at that price. but the demand was
NOT equal to the supply. The stock sold
down to 1885 and there was a 1.000-share
lot included in the trading at 1872 The
stock at the close was to be had at three
quarters with one-half bid.
An odd lot of Columbia Title stock sold for
I and a quotation lot of 100 shares could
have been had at a slight advance The
offer was finally withdrawn and the asking
price then became Az with 324 bid,

EXPLAIN A TON
TRADING is BETTER AVERAGE

Sperial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 31-An almost
complete reversal of form was witnessed
I'm today's transactions upon the stock ex-
change. For this sudden change there was
little explanation, aside from the extent OF
the downward reaction and the fact that
the rly cabled quotations from London
showed rather unexpectedly that American
stocks were quoted there az advances Tang
ing from one point to nearly I'VE points
above parity with New York's closing prices
of yesterday.
Foreign banking houses follower up tle
quotations furnished for American STOCKS
by very heavy purchases IN the local mar
ket, although these latter were curtailed 10
some extent by the rapidly of the early
rise in prices.
The advance made at that time In prac-
tlcally all of the extensive stocks ranseu
from one to two points, even such bulky
stock as United States Steel common snow
ing an initial advance of two points from
the final sale of yesterday. There have re.
Gently been current in the Wall street
