Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady. at a dec inc of
to points, today. Business
seemed to be confined to few scat
tering local trades. and the market
fiuctuated within a range of 2 to 8
points during early trading. Private
cables reported a quiet market in
Liverpool, and. with tomorrow a holi-
day locally, there seemed little dis
position to undertake fresh commit
ments around the ring. Private
cables say the short time agreed upon
in Lancashire means a reduced con-
sumption of 10000 to $1,000 bales dur
ing the next four months.
There was very little traolng
feature during the morning. and the
market remained quiet at MID lay
with prices about net unchanged to
point higher,
No fresh feature developed during
the early afternoon and the market
ruled steady with active months
about to points net higher.

EXPLAIN APPRAISAL
OF HALSEY TRACT
The Assessment Commissioners
Show How They Fixed $780,
900 as Proper Price.

More testimony on the appeal of
the George A. Halsey estate from the
award of damages for the proposed
opening of Branford place was taken
today before Nicholas w. Bindsell,
sitting as a Supreme Court commits
sioner at the City Hall.
The city will take from the Halsey
estate u triangular piece OF property
running west from Shipman street
1893 feet along Springfield avenue. The
assessment commissioners have fixed
s163,000 as proper price for the
property. The estate demands $30O,OoO
Tor the land and the damages to the
remainder of the plot.
Former Governor j. Franklin Fort
represented the estate at the review
today. He placed two commissioners
of assessment on the stand. They
were william Dimond and Adolph
Holzner
Attorney Fort asked the assessment
commissioners to explain how the fig-
ure of $4,000 was determined. The
testimony of both was similar. They
explained that they valued property
in Springfield avenue at $1,000 a front
foot. and in Shipman street at 5000
front foot.
In addition to this rating, however.
the commissioners declared that 20
per cent. additional was added. Ten
per cent of this additional amount
was added because the property was
on a street corner. The other 10 per
cent was added. they explained, be-
cause the plot was an unusually large
one for the centre of the city.
They computed the value Of the
entire plot and allowed the estate 40
per cent OF this estimate, they ex-
planned. The parcel to be taken by
the city Is 26 per cent of the entire
plot The commissioners declared
they allowed the additional Ia per
cent to the estate to cover damages
done to the remainder of the plot by
the reason of its division.
