NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.-Foreign weak

| days final. Cables reported further
| hedge selling.
Liverpool's disappointing action pro-
NOTED some selling on the opening, some
of which looked to be liquidation by
scattered longs and some of the spot
people. McFadden interest was thought
to be selling March and May and buying
| distant positions. The market has no
snap ana sentiment continues bearish.
Wall Street bought, but Liverpool inter-
ests sold. On the break there was &C
emulation of July by leading spot peo-
pie who are thought to be short of the
option. This served to check the down
ward trend. The real governing motive
In the market was the strength dis
| played by March. That position has
been purchased freely by some OF the
days. The buying caused a quick re-
covery Of the initial decline. Later the

Straddle business between here and

cipal feature in this market to-day.

Cotton Gossip

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-Mitchell was a
conspicuous seller of March after the
call. McFadden was aid to be selling
Marc hand May and remote months.
The firmness displayed by the March
option has the shorts worried.
Foreign advices indicate that senti-
ment is pretty well divided. One private
cable reported that the trade would con-
slider I'd the top, but another said that
prices would continue firm unless trad
slackened materially
Advices from Galveston state that
there is no pressure to sell spots in Tex
as. The writer expresses the opinion
that cotton has passed into strong hands
and that holders are determined to keep
possession until much higher prices are
obtainable.

when 1t was Coz 900 bales, for the rea-
son that bad weather practically de-
stroyed good deal Of seed. so that 1t
a good deal of country damaged cotton.
Also, many bolls opened owing to mild
weather following the October freeze,
which would have been lost II 1t had
come on cold and rainy weather.
Some say that Memphis reports Of
ginning are partly estimate, whereas the
Census Bureau gets actual returns from
24,5oo active ginneries..
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1s-Hayward

There Is lot Of talk of scarcity of
good seed for planting. Advices to that
effect are coming not only from Texas,
but also from the Central States
The New Orleans Democrat
says: Spot merchants. at least those
who deal in the desirable sorts OF cot
ton, can not fathom the mystery OF
contract market. which persistently de-
clines in the face of a strong statistical
position and basic grade scarcity and
strength. So these men, IN lieu CT a
better explanation, attributed the mar
ket's action to New Yorl's general
crouch against the bull side on every
thing and let It go at that.
At the close yesterday New York
quoted Liverpool middling at 1874 and
low middling at liz. New Yorks dis
count on low middling is 1875 points.
which makes 1915 the tender price
there. as against 11.SS for low middlins
at Savannah. Nevertheless, New York s
stock continues to increase. Thus 1t is
clear that the cotton now passing to
New York must be the result OF old
transa ctions made In the shape of con-
tract sales there at g higher price and
a higher basis"

MODERATE TRADE
IN GRAIN MARKET
Sales and Buying Power Evenly
Balanced = Cables Weak on
Decline at Buenos Ayres.

CHICAGO. Jan 15.--Wheat was frac-
tionally higher at the opening here this
morning because OF small offerings In
the pit, as the buying power was any
thing but strong. The weakness at
Liverpool was a reflection of the decline
at Buenos Ayres.
Corn was hardly rs strong as shown
at the close yesterday, the offerings in
the pit being little large and the de-
mand not as urgent.
The wheat market held well during
the late session and resting spots were
at advances of &c to Ac.
Corn turned strong late In the day
and advanced Sc to 1ac from the low
notch. It closed 1sc to No lower than
yesterday, however.
Oats were &c lower to &c higher.
Hog products were higher all around,
with pork the strongest.

days of the enormous mass of earth
and rock which slid into the Culebra
cut in the Panama Canal on the
night of October Ia is regarded as a
remarkable feat and Governor Goeth-
ais was greatly pleased with the re-
suits accomplished, according 10 adj
vices received here.
Three quarters of a million cubic
yards of earth and rock slowly
slipped into the canal prism that
night, blocking the waterway for al
most half annie and closing the canal
completely for q thousand feet to the
passage of vessels larger than tow
boats.
The great slide was attacked with
every available dredge almost in
stantly. Two of the giant dredges
were working south of Gold Hill and
very near the slide and one of these,
which digs up fifteen carloads of
dirt at every thrust, began work on
the mass while it was still in motion.
The slide was attacked from every
angle, even a distant suction dredge
being connected by pipe line to take
part in the work, and by noon, Octo-
her 20, the channel was sufficiently
cleared to allow the passage of seven
vessels, which had been delayed at
the south end of the canal
