HAYWARD & cLARk's
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9-As ex-
pected, Liverpool came in poor on flu
lures, which were about points lower
than due. while spots are steadier. 3
points lower. Sales large; tatol 1000
bales. The liquidation of straddle in
terests fully accounts for the easiness in
futures. Liverpool reports increased
business with China, which country APP
pears to be in the goods market gener-
ally as only few ago there was a re-
port in the press from a Southern mill
center to the effect that mills were be-
ing approached with large orders from
China, engaging their output for sew
eral months ahead.
Our market opened about points
lower with trading very quiet: no press
ure to sell, but also no support. as
easness in connection with straddle
liquidation between New York and Liv-
erpool seems generally expected. New
York seems entirely absorbed in the
adjustment of local technical conditions
through decline. All advices from there
are against the market and the nearest
professional object is to overcome the
12c resistane for March contracts. There
is no particular easiness in spots here,
although the decline in the hedge mar
kets checks business and some hedge
cotton is selling lower.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
Two Plays at the Atlanta.

The Atlanta will offer two plays
this week of widely different types.
The first will open Monday night,
Little Lost Sister" the white slave
play suggested by Miss Virginia
Brooks, the modern Joan Of Arc
whose reform work has been SEN
sation for years. Little Lost Sister"
tells of the country girls adventures
among a band of white slave traders
and vice dealers of all types The
play will be given at 20 and 50-cent
matinees Tuesday and Wednesday,
remaining through Wednesday night.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Henrietta Crosman will present her
newest comedy, THE Tongues of
Men" This play has been warmly
Endorsed by the Drama League in
New York and by critics everywhere
it has been seen. Miss Crosman has
a more pleasing part than that in
which she appeared here for the last
two seasons and is winning -enthusi-
astic approval. Seats for the en-
gagement went on sale Monday
morning.

SPOT HOUSES SELL
MARCH CONTRACTS
Option Dropped to 1902, New
Low LeveI-Summer Months
in 0emand-CabIes Weak.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Sentiment was
unsettled in the cotton market at the
opening to-day. First prices were from
I to II points lower than Saturdays
some to points on covering by shorts
and buying by Wall street. This de-
mand was soon satisfied and the mar
yet broke into new low levels for the
movement, except March option, which
was under fairly good support. on the
break May sold at 11,7S while July
dropped to HI. Trading was very
light. On the dip there was trade buy
ing and further covering of short lines.
which held the market rather steady
around the previous close.
Both the New York and Liverpool
markets were affected by notices of
English textile mills lengthening the
weeks working schedule
Heavy liquidation of March option by
big spot people against purchases Of
sumer positions sent this month into
new low ground for the movement
These contracts, however, found ready
sion houses. McFadden was credited
with being the biggest seller of March
on the break March reached 1902. Other
positions tiuctuated within a narrow
range. The. feeling locally continues
bearish. A Liverpool cable contributed
the weakness 10 that market to Ameri-
can selling and increasing bearish senti-
ment due to the large movement.
Some of the liquidation to-day was
for Memphis account, proha bly, on ac-
count of the bank failure there, which
had no effect on the local exchange.
Following are II a. m. bids in New
York: March 1918; May, 11.76; July,

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Cone was a

Policeman Slashed
By Negro Recovering

Patrolman W. E. Englett Monday
was recovering from knife wounds
inflicted on him late Saturday night
by Ben Cody, a young negro, who
was arrested by Englett and Patrol
man Newport for creating a disturb
ance on Peters street.
The prompt arrival Of an automo-
bile load Of police reserves probably
que1led an incipient riot as hundreds
of negro men and women gathered
and threats were heard. Cocaine had

DRYs WIN FOUR OUT OF SIX
Washington, Colorado, Oregon and
 Arizona Close Their Saloons.

Western Newsnaner Union News Service
 Chicago.--Four of the six states that voted Tuesday on the extirpation Of saloons decided to forbid the sale of alcoholic beverages in future and two voted to retain saloons. Ohio and California kept their saloons, while Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Arizona closed theirs. Washington's first returns showed a wet majority. but later returns gave the drys a slight lead, which tended to increase.
 Unofficial returns from Arizona shows that saloons were voted out. the women aiding materially in reach ing this result
 The vote on saloons in Colorado is so close that the result is in doubt, but the precincts to be heard from are mostly outside the cities. Prohibit tionists say later returns from farm ing countries will doom saloons.
 Ohio retained saloons by good raa- iority and adopted a home rule amend ment that was recognized as a saloon measure.
 MlSSOuTl utledLeu luc SOuuey uHfA system of local option, which preclud- ed the rural vote on saloons in option elections.
 National headquarters of the Wonl- ans Christian Temperance Union in Chicago Wednesday received returns from workers in the states affected by the election. News that was de- clared to be encouraging came from all the states concerned, the defeats in the three states being offset, tho reports said, by indication of progress over previous conditions. One of the typical messages receiy-- ed was the following:
 "Hallelujah! The crest of the con- tinent is white; Colorado has gone. | dry"
