THE COTTON MARKET
SHOWS BETTER TONE
Moderate Advance in Prices
During the Past,
Week

New York, February 7,-Rather a bet
ter tone has developed IN the cotton mar
ket during the past week, and there has
been d moderate advance in prices. Bush
ness has not been active, nor has the
character of the trading suggested any
general revival of bullish sentiment, but
sellers have been less aggressive, Liver
pool has shown relatively frmness, and
there has been foreign buying as we'll as
covering and support from trade sources
Reduced estimates of the East Indian
crop, colored by disappointing receipts at
Bombay, have been one of the bullish
features, as 1t is believed that continental
mills may have based their raw material
operations on expectations that the Indian
crop would exceed last year by fully 1,0O0,-
900 bales, while current figures suggest
that it may not be more than 3O0,0 900 bales
greater
Reports of increased confidence in the
domestic goods trade, owing to lessened
apprehensions of disturbing tariff
changes, have also attracted considerable
attention, but the main feature empha-
sized by local bulls has been the continued
steadiness of southern spot markets. For
a month or more past, it is argued, spot
demand has been comparatively quiet.
and sentiment in speculative circles has
been of bearish average, without caus-
ing any general weakening of holders,
and the bull claim that this has been a
very thorough test of the position. More
over, they predict more active demand
as the time arrives for work on March
commitments.
The reports of an improved inquiry both
from domestic mills and exporters cir
culating toward the end of the week,
were evidently regarded in line with this
view of the situation, particularly as mills
have been busly engaged spinning from
accumulated stocks, during the period
that they have been practically out of the
market. On the other hand, predictions of
increased acreage and a more liberal use
of fertilizer are still very circulating
around the ring.

REMBRANDT AS A GAMBLER
Un~Ise Investments Swept Away the
Entire Fortune Of That Most
Famous of Painters.

German art students, who have been
investigating the reason why Rem
brandt died hopelessly bankrupt, have
discovered that he was an incorri'
gible speculator. 1t had hitherto been
popularity supposed that he was COM
PEELED to remain poor because OF his
extravagant love Of jewels.
Unfortunate speculations turn out to
have been the cause Of his financial
ruin. Documents have been disin-
tered showing that he officially In
formed the municipality Of Amsters
dam that he had suffered heavy losses
In business transactions as we'll a.
through damages and losses on tho
high seas.
1t was at a Observation-Disclosures
all Europe was engaged In feverish
money making In connection with Hoi-
lands meteoric commercial prosperity.
Speculation took place on a reckless
scale. Immense fortunes were sunk
In shipping, banking and colonial en-
terprises.
Rembrandt, whose highly artistic ma
ture was sadly devoid Of even elemenr
tary business sense, fell an easy vic.
tim to the scheming spectators OF
that era of frenzied finance, and he
lost his entire fortune. Many Of his
pictures were seized for debt by tho
legal authorities before the canvases
were half finished. Bankruptcy finally
overlook him and compelled him to
sell all his properties, his home and
priceless works of art under the ham
mer at sacrifice prices.
