monopoly" says Prof. Sumner, were general alarm" In his opinion nc haa hes0 woudd discri9 nave oesn t zone tsi1 nere If the real offenders had been singled out and prosecuted. Then the public would have seen that there wasn't so much monopoly after all and that the offenders were few in number. The tndtscrimtnate condemnation that was indulged in had the effect of destroy Ing confidence, particularly when such condemnation came from those occupy ing high places.
 Consequently. when there was a lit- tie disturbance in the stock market the lack of confidence in financial in- stitutions made itself manifest at once. The public was ready to believe that there was neither soundness nor honesty anywhere. and there was rush dispose of securities in corporations. The panic once started it was a diff cult matter to check it, because the confidence of the people in the great financial. industrial and transporta- tion corporations had been pretty thoroughly undermined.
 Speaking of the part that socialistic notions had in bringing about the panic. Prof. Sumner says: "These notions win people of good will and good intentions, who are displeased and earnestly desire reform. They ac- cept projects and doctrines which pro- pose to destroy institutions and inter ests. What will be put in their places is never told, or if 1t is told 1t never deserves confidence. There is no defi- milton of socialism which would be generally accepted"
 It can be readily inferred from the foregoing that Prof. Sumner holds those responsible who have been talk ing indiscriminately against corpora- tions for the past few years, those who. in high places have given their Endorsement to this indfscrimfuata taIlr to those who accept sociaIistic Ideas. He has put clearly into his article inn pressions that exist vaguely in the in what he says. but that he has stated the whole truth will be strongly ques- tioned.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Jan. s.--The cotton market was quiet but steadier today, closing steady at advance of for to eight points on nctive months and nineteen points net high CT on October. Sales estimated at ITS, 900.
 The market opened steady at decline of one point to an advance of one point, which was q disappointing response to better ca bles than expected, but quickly firmed up on Liverpool buying and local covering At a net advance of six to eight points there seemed to be some Southern selling leading to irregulartty during the middle of the day but later the market was firmer again on renewed covering and active months closed within two or three points of the top.
 The fact that New Orleans was closed for the day, may have restricted business and the market appeared to have been pret- ty well evened up, with traders awaiting the census report, expected at the opening : tomorrow.
 Southern wires were generally bullish as to spot conditions but New England advices were conflicting for awhile, 1t Is it is also said that in some recent curtailments in production have not been radical enough to prevent an accumulation of goods. Exports for the day Ngere heavy, exceeding port receipts by about 27,0O0 bales and tho large amount reported on ship board suggests further heavy clear ances in the near future. Bombay was said to be buying low grade cotton.
 Receipts at the ports today 45,469 bales against 24,262 last week and 56.660 last year. For the week 330.0O0 against S52,391 last week and 327.341 last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans II. 10s against 10.S0S last year; and at Houston 1s,952, against 2O.119 last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Chicago Jan. s.-A slack demand from of wheat at European grain centers caused weakness today in the market. the May option showing a net loss of &c. at the Nc lower. Provisions were iO@17Mc iow-
 The wheat market was weak all day first half of the session which is due to buying based on reports of liberal sales of the cash grain; As , on the preceding preceding houses were free sellers and there was also considerable selling by small holders. Ex- cellent weather for harvesting in Argentina, lower prices for wheat at European mar kets and reports to the effect that export business was almost at a standstil were the dominating influences. The market closed weak.
 May opened a shade lower to a shade higher at s1.06k to $1 .O6A. sold up to sl.OsN, and then declined to s1.o5h. The close was at $1.O51a o Sc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 608.600 bushels. Primary receipts were bushels the corresponding day g year ago.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and chicako reported receipts of PAS cars against a holiday last week. and $40 cars year ago.
 The corn market was weak because of liberal sales brought out by increased re- ceipts. both local and at primary points. casting a big increase in the movement in Illinois within the next week and these reports helped to weaken the market. Pit ings were taken chiefly by commission houses. The close was weak ht the lowest points of the day.
 May opened a shade lower at e1 $ to hc. sold at 61h o Sc. and then declined to e0Nc where 1t closed. Local receipts were l6l cars with none of contract grade.
 Oats were dull and prices showed little change The weakness in wheat and corn Induced some liquidation. These offerings were taken by pit traders who were inclin- ed to look for higher prices owing to the light movement and to an improved de- mand from Eastern shippers. May opened about unchanged, sold off to 541Ac, where 1t closed. Local receipts were 67 cars.
 Provisions weak on selling by ex- porters and local packers. Immense re- ceipts of live hogs involving a 10 cent de- cline caused the weakness. At the close, May pork was off i6017hc at SIS: $50 $1s.S7M. Lard was down i2he at $S.12h. Ribs were 10c lower at $7.32h.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 2s cars; corn 21s cars: oats ss cars: hogs 44.000 head.

Yesterday being a hoiiday in New Orleans on account of the anniversary of the bat tie of New Orleans New York had its own way pretty much in the cotton market The fluctuations were small with slightly bst- ter feeling than on Monday, the market closing five to six points better than the day previous.
 A few more bales of cotton were brought to the city yesterday by the farmers in the vicinity. the Square presenting a better ap- peerance than on any day since Christmas spirits began to affect the whole country. This appearance of more cotton for sale yss- terday probably indicates more willingness on the part of the farmers to part with the last of their holdings.
 The market on the whole was dull and prices were quoted as unchanged.
