NEW YORK MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
Considerable Near Month
Liquidation Caused by
Ginning Predictions

New York, December 29.-Predietions
that notices representing fully $4,000 bales
of cotton would be issued against January
contracts here tomorrow were accom-
panied by considerable near month liqlh-
dation during today's trading. This SELL
ing combined with realizing attracted by
the advance of about 40 to 45 points
from the low level gave the mar
ket quite an unsettled appearance and
an early advance was lost with the close
steady, net A points lower to points
higher.
January was relatively weak, and at
times sold about "a points under March.
At this difference there was consider
able demand for January against safes
of the spring months, but uncertainty with
reference to the February revision Was
regarded as a factor in the situation ana
some traders predicted that January
would sell 40 points under March before
the expected deliveries were ultimately
absorbed.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to II points on renewal OF
Saturdays buying movement, which had
the encouragement of relatively firm Ca
bles, bullish spot advices from the south
and continued talk of light ginning re-
turns The appearance of January SELL
ing orders around the ring seemed TO
check the demand. however. while there
was naturally a good deal of realizing at
the advance from the low level of week
ago last Monday and the market soon
turned easier.
There was no change In the general
character of the news from the SOUTH
but there appeared to be some traders
inclined to look for more bearish ginning
returns than suggested by recent rumors,
and the market sold about net unchanged
to points lower during the early after
noon Later fluctuations were more or
less Irregular with the close showing rallies
of few points on the active months
Private Liverpool cables attributed tae
firmness there at the reopening OF the
market this morning to a fair general de-
mand. which had absorbed moderate
hedge selling.

and provisions of sc td7hc to 12lkc.
From the outset trade in corn was on a
large scale. At first commission houses
were almost unanimous in taking to the
bear side influenced apparently by a con-
tinuance of liberal receipts. Sentiment be-
gan to change also when the government
forecast limited that touch of Artic
weather was at hand. 1t was not long
afterward that rural advices appeared
conclusive as to a quick ending of heavy
shipments to Chicago and other leading
stations
Corn shorts abruptly found themselves
competing with longs. The result was a
sharp upturn in prices all round and espe-
cially so in the December delivery. Nc
important reaction occurred and the mar
ket closed at the top figures of the ses-

The Famous Parepa-Rosa and
Flotow's "Ah, So Pure
From Martha"

Almost within sight of Holyrood cas-
tie in Edinburg, Euphrosyne Parepa-
Rosa was born. She was the daughter of
a Wallachian gentleman, and in her walks
down Princess street she could not resict
singing the ballads of her native land
She made her debut as Amina in la
Sonnambula" in the Island of Malta
Then she assumed the name of Parepa.
No one has been able to understand Just
why. She married Captain Carroll In
1862 but was left widow two years later
and obliged to return to the operatic
stage. She made several notable tours of
the United States and later married Carl
Rosa, the celebrated violinist and tock
the hyphenated name which she has made
famous. She was one of the first to or<
ganze the English opera company in the
United States, although she sang for
many years in Italian opera. While she
sang in Cairo, Egypt, and three conti-
nents she always felt that the most gem
uine appreciation of her talents was In
the United States. To hear Parepa sing
'Ah SO Pure" from the opera ''Martha,'
the veteran operagoer of today delights
to tell about. Her good nature was pro-
verbal and she very seldom made a
concert tour that it was not necessary to
cut the programme in one half in order
to enable her to respond to all the en-
cores demanded Like all other pri'na
donnas of established reputation, there Is
always some simple ballad that reaches
the hearts of all the people. which fixed
the fame of popular artists In the minds
of the people and on that much of the
permanence of their fame rests.
This famous ella ssic from Martha"
with many others equally celebrated. Is
to be had in the great collection of Heart
| Songs" now offered by this paper at a
| cost so small as to really constitute a

TRADERS LOOK TO
NEW YORK MARKET
Today Is First Notice Day
for January in
Gotham

New Orleans. December 29.-Expecta-
tions of large tenders against January
contracts were the main influence in the
cotton market today, causing selling for
both accounts which, however worked
against prices only in moderate degree.
The undertone was steady and, on recess
sions, offerings We're none too LIBERAL as
shorts were inclined to buy covers in Or
der to realize profits
So FAR as the January situation was
concerned, attention was centered on the
New York market because tomorrow is
the first notice day there for that month
The report from that market is that ten
ders would be heavy, strengthening bear
sentiment in this market Around the
opening call the market was held down
by the announcement of the failure of a
cotton firm in Charleston with liabilities
of about s1,000,0OO. Uncertainty as to who
would be affected and the manner of COW
ering contracts held by this firm caused
buyers to withdraw from the market in
not a few cases.
Inc opening was steady at a rise of
4 to points and the advance was soon
widened to to points, January showing
the most strength, rather to the surprise
or the ring. Early prices were the highest
of the day. Offerings increased and the
market gradually sagged. Around the
middle of the day the trading months
were to points under Saturdays last
quotations. The technical position of the
market appeared to be good and late in
the session a moderate increase In tie
demand was sufficient to bring a recov-
cry. The close was steady. points up to
