Across the plaza from the hotel is
he bishops palace, the first floor of
which is occupied by the Panama Lot

lottery work hand in hand. Very few
Panamanians, be they rich or poor, do
1ot indulge in lottery tickets, and the
vendors, with their plaintive cry of
"Boleta, senior? Boleta, senor?" are
encountered everywhere. The tickets
are sold by old, decrepit women, in
valid men, and often by little boys
and girls. The prices range from 90
cents to 81. The drawings are held
every Sunday, and the holder of the
lucky number receives about $4,000 in
the coin of the realm. The same lot

At the railroad yards we find the
same activity as at Colon. Trains are

laborers and supplies in every direc-

portation of laborers resemble the
summer cars on the street railroads in
the states, and to all appearances they
are as comfortable and more hygienic

their machines confiscated.

MARKET FOR COTTON
TRADING IFS ACTIVE WITH THE
 RULING VERY IRREGULAR.
Range of Prices Wide, But at Close There Is Practically no Change From the Figures of the
 nay Wef0re.

s
 New York, Feb. 1.--The cotton mar ket was more active and ruled very irregular with prices covering a wide range but closing at practically yes terdays figures. a net decline of one point to an advance of one point
 The opening was weak at decline of 5@10 points on active months and 8 points lower or the new crop in re- sponse to lower Liverpool cables. The initial loss uncovered more stop orders and during the early session the mar ket ruled very nervous and weak with March selling or to 10.71 and May 10.SS or about laM16 points net lower. Big local Interests were heavy buyers at the decline and It was reported that leading Liverpool houses were most fa- vorabfy disposed to the market on the ground that the liquidation iad been nearly completed and prices rallied during the late afternoon.
 After midday the market turned quite firm on reports that the census bureau would issue a statement to- morrow giving an estir1ate on the amount of cotton remaining to De Einned after January 16 and March ad- about 20 points up from the lowest.
 The market failed 10 hold ali the re- covery owing to realizing by early buy CTS but the closing tone was steady. Just before the close the local pear leader issued circular saying that he had covered his entire short line not because he had changed his opinion re- garding the ultimate course of the mar ket but owing to the possibility of a reaction and of a .bullish showing by the census report on cotton remaining to be ginned.

COTTON.

New York, Feb. 1.--I feel it to be due to my friends to take this method of announcing that have covered my sntiret short in the market I have lone this not because my views as to Ehe relation between the supply of cot, ton and the demand are In any degree modified, but because first, after de cline of a cent a pound in the market, all rules of speculative experience point to the probability of a substantial. re-, action; second because 1t Is obvious, that spinners are disposed to buy moro liberally on the basis of eleven cents. a pound and finally because 1t is obyi-' ous that the resolution passed in the House of Representatives today, at Washington, calling upon the census department for its estimate of the quantity Of cotton ungihned on the 16th of January may result in a tenn rorary recrudescence of small crop ideas. My report on the ginning up 10 February 1st shall probably issue Dn Monday February 5th.

 In the vernacular of the street "there was something doing Tn futures yesterday but after losing 10 to ~ points and acting in a feverish manner throughout the morning Mew DIX opss tions steadied toward the close ahu @ the last quotations were about ths same as on Wednesday. This resuIteo m an unchanged local market for spots because the Montgomery market al lhIs time Is sensitive only to the conouct of futures.
 While New York closed about un- changed prices the New Orleans mar ket began to scar about o'clock, on more buIlish news, and thirty minutes later 1t had recorded an advance around 10 points above Wednesdays close
 There is some consolation in the fact that values have suffered loss Of about 100 points in a week and would seem to indicate steadter market es-' pecially since manipulation by 5ears appears to be over.

The forecast of cold wave for the prin- cipal wheat growing States as Tar south as Kansas and Nebraska was the chief factor affecting the market early. Later the market was strengthened by a report from New York which an nounced a revival of export demand. IL being said that thirty cargoes of wheat had been taken today for foreign ship ment There was some selling on re- port from an English source that the movement of wheat from Argentina showed an increase of 5OO.OOO bushels over the corresponding week year a9o. ~s Prices. however, yielded but lit- lie.
