COTTON NERVOUS
IN NEW ORLEANS
Bulls Have Advantage in
Early Trading-Many
Changes

New Orleans, February D.-lt was a
nervous and rapidly changing market on
the cotton exchange today. In the early
trading the bulls had the advantage, but
later the bears put forth enough pressure
to send prices down to the pc level on the
old crops. When 1t seemed as if the short
side was In control Of the situation buy
ing movement that was difficult to eX-
plain came about and values were lifted
to the highest levels of the day again.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were I to points up. Cables were
bullsh and wet weather over the pelt,
together with the promise of more rain,
stimulated buying. In the early trading
prices went to points over yesterday 5
close This advance called out heavy
short selling, which increased toward noon
and pared down the advance and finally
brought about net decline which, in the
afternoon session, was widened to a loss
of to 10 points, the new crops showing
the least downward movement In the
last half hour of business heavy buying
orders were given the ring many of which
appeared to come from releasing shorts
and the close was steady at a net ad-
vance of to points.
Much of the short selling of the day was
based on bearish news regarding cror
preparations and on reports of a slight
weakening in spots. Locally spots lost
1-16c, with middling quoted at 12sse. Bulls
however. called attention to the fact that
the demand was improving.

EGGS CONTINUE
DOWNWARD TREND
One Dealer Forecasts Price
of II Cents by Monday
Other Markets Strong

The downward trend of fresh eggs start
ed on Wednesday will. according to u
prominent egg dealer on Morris avenus,
continue, and fresh eggs will be selling
at wholesale on Monday morning at II and
IS cents a dozen. The wholesalers at
the present time are buying eggs at 1917
cents a dozen delivered on the street,
with indications that they will be able
to buy at 10 cents by Monday.
Eggs on the wholesale street are now
very plentiful, Heavy Shipments are COM
ing in from Chicago and in the opinion
of the wholesale egg dealers the market
on eggs has gone all wrong, and the bot
tom is expected to drop out at any time.
One dealer offered to sell three car
loads of eggs yesterday at IS cents, with
no buyers.
The other markets on Morris avenue
yesterday retain their brisk trade, with
no changes in prices The receipts were
ample for the heavy demand Yester-
days corrected wholesale quotations fol-

MARKET IS GIVEN
AN UPWARD SLANT
Revival of Export Demand
in West for Shipment Via
Gulf Responsible

Chicago, February 90.-Reyival OF eN
port demand in the west for shipments
by way of the gulf save the wheat mar
kete today an upward slant The close
was nervous i4@lsc above last night. corn
made net gain of is@14e and oats were
off 1-l6c and then gained ssc. In pro-
visions the outcome varied from 5@7iRc
decline a rise of 212c. Owing to rain or
snow extending from Oklahoma to South
Dakota wheat at first took down turn
The market was bearishly affected also
by predictions that world shipments for
the week would be large. For the time
being northwestern reports of decreased
arrivals formed the only offset in favor
of the bulls. News that foreigners were
buying wheat in Omaha 10 be routed via
New Orleans effected a complete change
in pit sentiment The result was to add
quickly a4c TO prices here and this also
Notwithstanding that cold wave was
putting an end to the deposit of moisture
in portions of the winter crop belt How
ever a group Of big houses with free or
deIs to sell at further advance brought
about a feeling of uncertainty as trad
ing came to an end. Primary receipts
were 752, 600 bushels against holiday last
year. Clearances of wheat and flour
equaled 4la,oo0 bushels.
Corn found friends when wheat began
to ascend. Besides there were complaints
that rural hauling was handicapped by
the softness of roads. Oats were firmer
Oh account OF belief that the weather
was unfavorable for marketing though
less so than for corn.
Provisions responded later in the ses-
sion to the strength shown by grain.
Early the bears were in control because
of the liberal run on hogs here end at
other leading points.

WideEhanges Restricted to
Less Active-Sentiment
Bearish

New York February 20.-Wide
changes of the day in the stock mar
ket were restricted to the less active
stocks The favorites moved within a
narrow range and were dull aud heavy
Among the less active stocks declines
were larger. in some cases running
to 6 or s points. Liquidation of in
active stocks has been feature of the
recent decline in the general market
Discrimination by banks against such
stocks as collateral is said TO have led
to forced selling.
The spirited buying movement which
WAS in progress when the market
closed yesterday was not followed to-
day although opening prices of ma
jority of leading issues were higher.
The advantage was quickly lost \
heavy tone developed. There were no
severe pressures and few Of the prom
mont stocks moved as much as a point
below yesterdays close. Union Pacific,
Reading, Northern Pacific and Smelt-
ing were most susceptible to pres
sure.
Sentiment after the opening was
bearish and little heed was given to
such favorable factors as the outlook
for peace in Mexico, the more cheer
ful feeling abroad and an excellent
statement for January OF Baltimore
and Ohio, the first of the large rail-
roads TO make its report These con-
ditions apparently We're outweighed by
the importance given to the proposal
tosdouble the state tax on stock trans
fers. Such plan advanced at a time
when the street was already feeling the
accumulated weight of it's woes made
sentiment decidedly bearisli.
There was an easier tendency in the
money market. Another small gold en-
gagement for South America was ar
ranged. The loss sustained from gold
exports and subtreasury operations sc
far this week by the banks is nearly
S-000,000. Bonds moved narrowly and
irregularly. Total sales, par value, 81
100000. Bonds of the United States or
call unchanged

broke down and confessed.
He said his wife was sick and ht
was without money to buy food oil

Saved His Life

A famous animal painter says that
when he was boy he once witnessed a
fight between two dogs, one of which be-
longed to am Irishman who was a retired
prize fighter The Irlshman's dog was
badly beaten, and the fact was source
OF deep chagrin to the owner. lie was
very jealous of his dogs record. but as
only he and the painter had seen the fight
he asked the latter. in decidedly signih-
cant way. which OF the dogs won.
why was the reply, your dog won.
Of course. He was underneath the other
dog, but he was chewing the life out OF
the cur all the time"
