in which lay the apparently lifefess body
of Mary, ner three-year-old baby, pre-
paratory 10 lowering II into the grave,
Mrs. Henry yesterling gave full vent

Her pitiful walls acted like an electric

child still lived she fell on the coffin in
a faint.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, January 25.-While f1uc-
tuations were more or less irregular. the
cotton market made a generally steady
showing today and closed steady at a
net advance of from l to 8 points.
The opening was barely steady, with
tering liquidation, while other positions
were to points above the closing fig
ureS of last night on continuation of
Yesterdays buying movement. Liverpool
did not more than half meet the local ad-
vance of Friday, with private cables re-
porting continued anxiety over the Turk
ish situation. and the poor showing Of the
English market, combined with dispO-
sition to take profits for over the week
end, brought considerable pressure against
prices here around the opening figures. A
reaction soon followed which carried the
market :; or + points under the closing
quotations Of yesterday on the active
months, but leading spot brokers were
good buyers at the decline and prices
later showed increased ffrmnesS' on re-
newed covering or bull support.
March contracts sold up to 12.41 in the
last hour. or about II points above the
low level of yesterday morning. The
close was ) or points off from the best
under realizing. Private spot advices
from the south were more or less con-
flictng. Reports from two or three east
ern belt points in Texas claimed that
there was good demand and little offer
ing, while Memphis and Vicksburg re-
ported practically no business and con-
siderable cotton remaining in the interior
for sale. Washington dispatches SEEM
ed to create rather more optimistic SEN
timent with reference to the tariff agita-
ton. Weekly reviews of the dry goods
situation claimed that buyers have shown
that no weakness has shown itself in the
various markets.

The movement of cash toward this

Some little curiosity is felt In the street
as to what was behind the resignation
of Winslow s. Pierce from the presidency
OF the Western Maryland and from con-
nection with other Rockefeller CORPORA
tons. One accepted theory is that Mr..
Pierce did not take the initiative in this
divorce and that relations between him
and Mr.. John d. Rockefeller have been
definitely severed. Mr.. Pierce il one of
the silent men in high law and high
finances. who has been something of q
mystery ever since he began. to be
noticed
Ills first appearance was as a. legal adj
wiser for George Gould and E. H. Har-
riman in bringing about a settlement of
Union and Central Pacific Indebtedness to
the government, a move preliminary to
the reorganization of Union and Southern
Pacific. He remained a close inside adj
wiser Of these two financiers for several
years. and when there was q slip be-
tween them he left Hartman and went
to Gould. Subsequently. he dropped Gould
and allied himself with Mr. Rockefeller
in confidential official
lationship. He was supposed to have
been about as intimate with the Standard
Oil multimillionaire as anybody, but the
theory is now held in Wall street that in
taking the virtual management Of West
ern Maryland and Wabash he bit off
| more than he could chew and has found
a place in the Rockefeller graveyard.
Mr. Pierce. who Is a nephew OF the late
| Thomas A. Hendricks, is supposed to
have amassed a fortune of several mill
lions.

Leadership Is Comic.

Wall street possesses about a dozen

but none the less 1t Is the current fashion
