Loveman e co.,a Market Letter.

About 5000 notices were issued against March contracts this morning and 1t is safe to say that the interest in that month has thoroughly been l1uidated Spot people were heavy buyers all the way down from 10. 25 to 10.14 which proved to be the low limit and 1t is notible that in spite of the heavy liquidation March declined only 3 points from the previous low level while none of the other months established new records.
 It is true, however. that the close to- night is only a couple of points above the low water mark and there was nqth- ing in the way of rally to encourage hope of better prices immediately.
 History, however, teaches that turn frequently comes when the situation takes dismal appearance bears have taken down big profits and are not indisposed to follow. prices down further when 1t Is so easy for them just to step to one side and let the market rally of it's own ae- cord
 Liquidation is always a distress feature but when once completed is usually fol- lowed by a restoration of confidence, slow perhaps, but none less sure.

eIbert e cIay,s Market Letter.


 The course of options in the foreign market was of no more than passing in terest On the close the net decline Of from 3 to points from Saturday was re- ported Sales of 14000 bales exceeded ex- pectations, from which 1t Is obvious that spinners' requirements show no signs of diminishing. Moderate selling by Alexan- drian interests was a view expressed. but otherwise there was no news from abroad.
 The nervous state into which thsrmar- ket has worked itself, on account of liquidation of March position, Is still prevalent, but much less intensified now that the first notice day in New York is practically over. While the circulation is even larger than expected we under stand that great number of notices have been stopped. The depressing influence caused by this state of affairs had It's effect on our opening. and in fact was an influencing factor throughout the day, but in the early trading a steader tone was inspired by some of the erst- while bulls lending their support A good demand for cotton is reported from the ranks of the exporters business natural ly is restricted Good cotton Is what the spinner wants and good cotton the ex- porter must have to osfuhll his engage ments. Any clear discussion as to the probable course of the market, is indeed a difficult proposition, while public opin- ion seems so conflicting as to which con ditions are paramount In influencing the trade For our part. we are inclined to view preparati tons for the new crop and weather conditions that are to govern same, as the most important influence

wars e IeIand,a Market Letter.

The action of the market and the re- ception of notices for about 30,Ooo bales of cotton was what was to be expected after the enormous liquidation of the last month or six weeks.
 Even if prices are to do considerably better and there Is enough demand for cotton at this figure to absorb all the offerings that are thrown overheard by those who are taking the losses, even so an immediate improvement Is hardly to be expected
 A great deal of short cotton was cov- cred on the decline this morning with some buying on the theory that the market was about sick enough to show some improvement in health after the March cotton has been digested

MINERS Bic WAGES.

THURMoND, W. Va, Jan. 49,.
With plentiful supply Of cars. a con.
dition which has prevailed for the
past two weeks, New river mines are
now Gin Bonanza, 2 and are making
more money than for many months.
An examination Of the weigh sheets
at any Of the Loop Greek mines shows
hundreds Of miners now making over
IS a day. At one Of the largest mines
the average daily earnings exceeds
this sum and many Of the miners are
earning from s. to $40 every day.
These figures might be misleading
to some, the sums earned daily being
quite above the average. 1t is a fact
that the payroll shows this to be true,
but out of this sum must be provided
the blasting powder, the help, and
other expenses which fall to the min.

.SIDELIGHTS ON
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The Presi'
cent and Secretary Root intend to Sc.
lect a most representative body Of
delegates to the coming Pan-Americap
Congress, to be l.eId in Brazil next
summer. Secretary Root will go as
head Of the United States delegates
and he is now at work selecting the
raen who will accompany him and rep.
resent the United States at the Con
gless. The delegates to the last Con
sress which was held in Mexico, are
net in position to form part Of this
delegation for various reasons. John
Barrett, who was a member Of the last
Congress, ig row Minister to Colombia,
ard will have to be away from his
post several months longer than he
could be spared, and he is out Of tho
question. Charles NJ. Pepper, another
delegate, Is now travelling in Mexico
as a special commissioner of the De.
partment Of Commerce and Labor
gathering statistics in regard to manu-
features. volney Foster is dead and
Henry Gassaway Davis, who was not
only a delegate at the last Congress,
hut who was member of the first
Congress called by Secretary Blaine
aLd held in this country, is probably
tcc old to stand the long and fatiguins
trip to Brazil, and he is not likely to be
named.
Two men seem to have been select.
cd by Mr.. Root for his commission.
One is Senator Lodge, Of Massachu'
sets, and the other is ex-Attorney Gen.
eral Wayne Macveagh. There will be
i've delegates, and while the name Of
Henry l. Buchanan who was director
general Of the Pan.American EXPOSE
ton at Buffalo, has been mentioned,

Johntown Bear Tanner.

Frank Slater, the bear tanner Of
Johntown, came into the city yester.
day, first on the hunt officer and next
eta bear on which to display the skill
Of his art in bearology. Having OBJ.
tanned a supply Of the first, he was
ready to furnish the second at his
own expense. He learned that John.
ny Merritield had a bear tied up in his
rear lot, and after getting it located,
without a word to its keeper or impart.
ing his intention, he got into the lot
where 1t was Gagged. The first discov-
cry Of him was as he walked up to
where 1t was tied, took hold Of tho
chain and pulled 1t out Of the cage,
and near enough to him to cuff It on
the ear, when the bear offered no re-
sistance, but meekly turned its head to
cDe side, yet at the same time clearing
at him and licking its chops. Those
looking on now turned their backs to
avoid seeing him torn in pieces as they
feared, but he again pulled It near him
by tho chain and tickled it under the
chin as he would child. In the mean.
time the bartender was informed Of
his dangerous predicament Of which
he seemed SO unconscious, and rush.
ing out caught Slater from the rear
and hurled him backwards across the
lot to a safe distance beyond It's reach.
And since no others would venture
near without club to beat it of, no
reprImanded Slater in terms Of strong
emphasis for taking such a risk, but
he merely importuned to be let alone
as It would not hurt him, and he would
show them how to tame a bear, but
Musgrave, his defender, was equally
persistent as to the danger and forced
him away. And as they looked on
many wondered that he was not kill.
ed by the experiment, while he on tho
contrary only seemed to take the great
est pleasure in thus fondly petting tile
bear that might have crushed him.
