 It was fortunate that the New York and New Orleans Cotton Exchanges were closed yesterday, for the local market would have undoubtedly taken marked drop, owing to the unex- pected fall in the Liverpool market. It was anticipated that the cables would cone from one to two points lower; instead. they went down from two to five points--a very pronounced fall. inasmuch as the variation of one point in Liverpool equals two in this country.
 There was no trading here. The factors we're all hopeful that the Liv- erpool market will improve by today and the buyers hoped for it to lower still more. Neither wished any activ- ity in the market. The price. quoted by most of the warehouses remained at IA cents.
 Practically no cotton was received yesterday and the factors might just as well have closed up their ware houses and observed the holidays.

A highly. important. resume of the cotton market In England and on the continent was made recently by the chairman of Lloyds Bank at the annual meeting.
 The cotton crop had been a large one, estimated at 13,500.000 bales, and 1t was clear that there would be an ample supply to meet home and con- tinental demands. Shipments had been much delayed, and were considerably later than usual, owing. no doubt. to the Lancashire strike; consequently, so far 1t had not been a good season for the importers at Liverpool, but the fu- ture looked more promising. In the Manch ester district two things had told heavily against the cotton trade; the fall of values and the increase in the means of production. On the ton of these came the strike and seven weeks lockout in the spinning trade. The spinning mills started we'll but to- wards the year began to work unprof- itably. At present, there were too many mills for the worlds needs, and there would be a sharp struggle, in which the Attest would survive"

Rains have fallen quite generally during the past week, relieving the of the bull propaganda was based. But in Texas the defciency is still ma terial, and it Is doubtful that the crop normal conditions. The vicissitudes of the weather during the spring will, therefore be of more than ordinary &C., count, and the market will be extreme ly sensitive to any adverse influences in this regard.

A significant and optimistic turn in the dr ygoods market is the improve ment in the Chinese market. Already 50,000 bales have been taken since the 1st of December as against S0,000 bales during the entire year of 1908.

Much is being made of the large stock in Liverpool (some -2S0,00O bales more, than one year ago) and of the visible supply of American Cotton though only 250,0o0 in excess -' two years agol; but the fact remains that, granting the crop now being marketed tion 1S.00O,O0O which figures appear conservative, 1t will be seen that the world will have actually consumed in the last four years practically every bale grown in that period and that the supply on Sept. 1. next, whether wis ible or invisible, cannot exceed that of Sept. 1, 1905.

"rhe Thief" Wednesday Night.

The motive power of Henri Bern
STEMS great drama "The Thief which
is announced for presentation in this
citv on Wednesday evening at the
Opera house is as universal as woman
hood itself. The play voices woman's
undying love to hold love, to keep her
self beautiful in the eyes OF the man
she loves, and to keep his love for her
fresh and ardent. 1t is unquestion-
ably the one big thing in Womans me
which of course explains the enormous
appeal that Bernstein's play has for all
women. To the feminine part of thu
audience there is never the slightest
failure to understand and appreciate
the motives for Marie-L oulSe'S SIN
For while women may not approve
nav not even condonc, they at least
understand.
That a young girl. madly in love
with her husband should steal from
her best woman friend in order &c
spend the money in making herseii
beautiful in the eyes OF her husband
is the basic principal OF the Bernstein
play, which concerns itself both with
the detection of the theft and the
disclosure makes imminent.
From the rise of the first curtain
until the fall of the drop at the end oi
the play there is not one dull moment
in The Thief" Scoring all subter-
fuge. Bernstein gives the public II
series of dramatic punches when
keeps the mind alert, the senses on the
tense and the interest un!laGginS.
The play comes here after 10
months run at the Lyceum theatre N

road Co. which asks the approval by
