London, Jan. 31.-The overwhelming
strength Of public opinion thruout Eu-
rope In favor Of peace in the Balkans
is exercising q profound influence on
the peace delegates in London.
The ambassadors Of the powers will
soon make themselves the mouthpiece
Of this sentiment in order to convince
some Of the more unyielding spirits
among the allies.
European diplomats take the view
that Turkey. especially after the revo-
lutionary movement, which brought
into power men considered to be lr-
reconcilliable on the question OF
Adrianople, could not offer more than
what was contained in yesterdays re-
ply to the powers. This. they think,
justified the resumption of negotiations
between the allies and the Ottoman
empire.
Propose Division Of City.
The Turks with their usual shrewd-
ness. instead Of asking simply for the
holy shrines and a few other historic
monuments In Adrianople. suggested
dividing the city by the river Martha,
they taking the part situated on the
west bank. This gives them the lions
share altho they leave to Bulgaria the
railway station on the line commune
eating with Macedonia.
This concession. however, is not re-
gar6ed as their Anal word on the sub
ject. The way to an accommodation be-
tween the parties may still be left
open,
II is thought the men now ruling at
constantinopls may wish to have the
xppsi1ance OF not ceding asmuch as

 Our attention has been called to the alleged activities of some person or persons who through telephone calls and underground methods are seeking to undermine confidence in various houses in the financial dis trict. more despicable method of attempting to arouse public distrust could not be imagined.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-Futuros opened steady at a decline of 2 to 6 points on poor cables and continued favorable weather over the cotton re- gion The ring was dull in the early trading, with neither bulls nor bears inclined to put out fresh lines of con tracts of any size. The advantage was to some extent with the bear side, be. cause of reports of free offerings ot spots and the claim that local factors were renting additional space for the purpose of displaying samples. Mod crate selling widened the decline and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were 8 to 8 points under yesterdays close.
 The market was dull the entire morning but toward the noon hour the tone became steady and prices com menced to be better There was com paratively little for sale around the ring and a very moderate demand, seemingly from scaIping shorts who wanted to realize profits, was enough to bring about a recovery. Bearish gossip was chiefly concerned wish the labor troubles among the New England mills, but it caused little fresh selling. At noon the trading months were 2 to points under the final quotations of yesterday.
