RENEWAL OF WEAKNESS
SHOWN BY COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-There was a
renewal of the weakness noted during
Saturdays trading in the cotton market
today with May selling off at 1887 and
the old crop months generally to a new
loss of about 30 to 33 points shortly after
midday, under heavy liquidation and
bear pressure.
Nothing appeared in the news over
the holidays to account for the extreme
weakness, but the character of the sell
ing and the absence of support beyond
covering by speculative and trade
shorts suggested a final abandonment
of the bull campaign owing to the
approach of the planting season, and
rumors of free offerings from the South
around recent prices.

The Modern WAY

Next to the satisfactory division of your
property, the selection of a suitable execu-

The selection of a Trust Company in place
of an individual to act in such a capacity
has so many advantages to commend it
that everywhere this is growing to be a
general custom.

commented upon the action of the al.

upon the fact that they should do
something that would tend to break
up the habit of young men going to
the near-beer saloons.
The Aldermen put the lid tighter by
passing stringent regulations in re-
gard to conducting the near-bcer sa-
looms. The frst and principal action
was tho increase of the yearly license
to $4,000. Not only was this an inn
portan, part of the ordinance. but
there was also fixed certain hours
during which all saloons in the city
shall be opened. These hours are from
