NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The opening

able hedge selling, and it was be-
lieved there thai American houses
were absorbing all the offerings. Aft
er the call trading was limited. ac-
count of the holiday in New Orleans,
but market rallied a few points from
the opening on scattered short COW
ering. This demand soon exhausted
and prices sagged 4 to points from
last nights final, in the absence of
buying orders.
Sentiment is still bearish in the To-
cal trade, and some of the more con-
sentative operators, it is believed, will
take advantage of any rally to put
out short lines. No change of con-
sequence Is looked for in prices UNI
til after the ginenrs' report is pub
ltshed tomorrow at 10 a. m. How
ever, the popular opinion is that the
market will probably advance be-
tween now and that time, and it is
believed that figures will be. around
100000 for the period
Trading developed into complete
stagnation during the late forenoon.
All were inclined to await the ginning
figures, which are expected to show
around 13,400,000 bales. This would
be construed as bullish and any
thing above would be a bearish ar
gument. The market seems to be
well evened up for the report.
The most encouraging news re-
ceived by the bull element for several
weeks was gained through several
spot cotton merchants, who are in
the city from New England and the
eastern belt. expressing the belief
that trade demand will take care the
contracts on further depression in
value
At the close the market was steady,
with prices net unchanged to points
lower than the final quotations of
Wednesday.

Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Some of the shrewd traders In wheat
said last night that there was a large
short interest out in wheat and they
believed that the long side Is the
safest on breaks for the present. Some
Of the conservative commission men
were timid about advising short sales
of corn after a break of nearly ten
cents. The decline Is attributed main
ly to the imports of Argentine corn
free of duty and the mild wealth ar
checking the consumption throughout
the West"
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. says:
"Wheat--The undertone seems quite
healthy and on all little setbacks We
advise purchases.
Corn: We believe that prices win
work off q little to-day.
Oats: There is nothing in the
situation to lead us to expect any
thing but temporary rallies.
Provisions: The market shows a
rather firm tone with a good class
of buying on weak spots"
Erie was strong on favorable i'm
preston received by representatives
at Washington in regard Of an in
crease In rates
New York says Argentine corn
is being distributed through New
York, New Jersey and New England
There is also an inquiry here from
New Brunswick.

When listening to tale of evil told by plaus

The people, in their capacity as judges, should
