BY CHARLES w. STORM.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga falling off
in the offerings strengthened the tone of
the stock market at the opening to-day,
but the bears rallied and at the end of
half an hour many prices ranged around
the level established in Wednesdays
hnal transaction.
Reductions Of the minimum rates OF
discount by the Banks of England and
France caused strength in Paris and
London, which was partially reflected
here at the beginning, but the price
movements did not equal those made in
London.
Declaration of the dividend on Pressed
Steer Car common made that stock the
strongest among the industrials. The
opening sales were made at 32la, an ad-
vance of A, but profit taking lmmedl
ately developed. Canadian Pacific made
the best gain in the railroad group sell
ing at 212Ia. selling for gain OF rs.
Among the other gains were: Utah
Copper q, Union Pacific "a, Southern
Pacific a, Texas Company "A, Amalga-
Is, St Pau * Corn PRODUCTS a. Erie
*, Mexican Petroleum l, Rock island
common y, Lehigh Valley IS
The gam in Rock Island was soon
wiped out and this stock was supplied
at its recent low level
The declines included: United States
Steel common "a, Southern Railway .,
General Electric ", Brooklyn Rapid
Transit "a New ork Central ~
Trading on the London Stock Tx
change was greatly stimulated by the
reduction of the Bank of England DIS
count rate to the lowest figure since
May, 1912. Americans there were cheer
full, above New York parity and Canad-
ian Pacific was strong.
The curb was firm.
Trading was quiet in the late decline.
United States Steel common declined Is.
Canadian Pacific moved up q, Amalga-
mated Copper was off Is. Southern Pa
cihc, Rock Island, Erie and American
Can were off Il.
Call money loaned at per cent
Steel sold down to 64Ss for net. de-
cline of a point in the last hour and
Mexican Petroleum sold around 81, for a
loss of points from the opening.
Among the international shares Cana
dian Pacific was the leader, going to
213A, for gain of more than 3 points
from Wednesdays final. Chino Copper,
Amalgamated, Southern Pacific and
Reading sold under their opening.
Pressed Steel Car continued strong
After some foreign buying there was
heavy liquidation and the tone was
weak
The market closed dull. Governments
unchanged; other bonds steady.

HAYWARD & cLARk's
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-New York
advices this morning explain yesterday
decline in futures by Wall street selling.
The short interest in that quarter is said
to be large. and apparently putting up
a strong defense.
Liverpool seems to be affected by the
contest, as futures there this morning
showed the full decline due, while spot
prices were one point higher with con-
tinued large sales In face of the lower
Liverpool and further opening decline
in New York, our market opened higher,
but was unable to withstand the bearish
display in other quarters and was soon
forced in line by straddle operations.
Feeling here continues confidently bull
ish. in the belief that the bullish situa-
ton in the actual must ultimately tell.
Consols advanced 3-16, the highest in
years, and the Bank of England reduced
it's rate to per cent which will have
a stimulating effect on trade throughout
Europe.
The weather map shows general rains
in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
cloudy In the rest of the belt. Two
rain formations passing through the belt
will cause general rains in the Central
and Eastern States in the next "a hours,
followed by a severe cold wave with fair
weather and freezing temperatures to
the coast west of the river tonight or
tomorrow.
The into-sight for the week looks
around $50. 1000. against go. 637 bales last
year and 1889 bales in 1912. We com
pare with mill takings OF 100000 bales
for this week last year.
Spots here are reported quieter and
easier. The market eased to around
1870 for May and seems waiting for fur
Their developments Operations In other
quarters still appear against the mar
ket.

BONE LEADERS
ROMANCE TOLD
BY CANISTER

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Search for
the head of the Black Hand bomb
gang which has long held New York
IN terror may extend overseas. Al
fred Lehman, the young criminal who
confessed participation in numerous
bomb outrages, incendiary fires and
two murders, to-day told District Az
torney Whitman that Fay" Ferraro
leader of the band, had fled to Italy.
This information was given by
Lehman following another session i, n
the witness stand in the criminal trial
of Angelo Sylvestro, another member
of the gang, who is on trial for bomb
planting.
We were not after swag when we
shot that bomb" Lehman said.
There is love story mixed up in
this thing, and I'll tell you the whole
story. Fay our boss. got stuck On
a girl who lived in East Houston
street, and he wanted her bad He
was on the level, and he wanted to
marry her, but the girls parents knew
Fay had a bad record and wouldn't
let her have anything to do with
him. This made Fay sore, and one
day he called several of us into the
back room of a saloon and said: 4
want you guys to go up to 10 East
Houston street and get Nellie Pee
caro-. l don't care how you get her;
kidnap her If you have to. But bring
her to me. I'll give you 500 apiece
for the job
We'll, we fell down on that job, be-
cause we found that we had to go
through a moving picture showhouHe
to get into the tenement where Nell
lie lived. We reported to Fay that
we couldn't carry girl through
theater with about 100 people looking
at US. so Fay gave orders to burn
the place. We got in one night and
smeared a lot of oil on the seats, but
the fire was put out.
Blow up the place. was the next
order that came from the chief We
told him a lot of innocent people
might be killed, but he was dead
set on revenge, and said he didn't
care That was when we planted the
bomb which Sylvestro got pinched for
shooting.
81 would be afraid to tell this II 1
didn't know Fay has fled to Italy,

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The market
started out dull but steady and then
advanced a few points on a moderate
demand by commission houses. Around
II o'clock, however, Liverpool and New
Crleans sent in selling orders and prices
eaSed off rather sharply on Jack of sup
port and scattered liquidation. There
has been good deal of 20 lying lately,
passed on the strong spot situation, but
the total volume of speculative buylng
has been so light that advances have
been difficult to sustain.-J. N. Ander-
son.
Demand continues very good for al,
grades at the highest basis of the sea
son, said Montgomery, Ala, wire
In fact, the highest basis compared
with futures that we can ever recall
before. Some high grades held back,
but percentage smaller than usual"
Another direct shipment of cotton to
Japan brought the total quantity taken
by that country this year up to 259, 900
bales, compared with $4,000 last year.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy over the entire belt: raining in
Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas. Indi-
cations are for clearing; much colder
in northwestern quarter. Generally I'M
settled rain over the rest of the belt.

morrow in the central States
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: Cotton continues to pour into
and out of the interior towns, Just as
1t continues to pour into and out of the
ports. AS the magnitude of this crop
Is now known with sufficient exactitude
for all practical purposes, the active
movement both ways is chiefly inter-
esting. as it evidences an active demand
for the remnant. By all accounts, the
various types of punk are selling at
prices which manufacturers find attrac-
tive, and this branch of the problem will
doubtless solve itself sooner than most
people think.
''As for the tenderable grades, they
surely will not go begging for six
months to come, though the action of
the contract market would imply the
possibility of a glut. For how else can
one explain the fact that May delivery
may be bought in New Orleans at
discount of As points from the spot quo
tation for middling? 1t is no question of
fixed differences here, and the depre-
citation Of the lower grades will have
reached it's maximum before May ar
rives. As for New York. that is quite
another matter, and matter about
which no provincial should presume to
hold a fixed opinion.
While the professionals are playing
with the market, or the market is play
ing with the professionals, eXtraneous
conditions seem to shape themselves in
favor of the commodity. Unless all the
omens of the hour are misleading, the
Bank of England rate of discount will
be reduced to 81 per cent at the reg
ular meeting of the directors to-day"
