NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31.-Liverpooi
closed half to one point lower, against
5 to points lower due. Spots, I points
lower; sales. 5000 bales. The Liverpool
stock of American cotton is still $685.
00e bales smaller than last year and
81 900 bales smaller than in 1919. but
Liverpool has been a large buyer of
spots on our side hits month, and large
clearances for that port will be seen In
the next few weeks. A cable said
Very steady market offerings limited
considerable selling of cotton; some con-
tinental buying new crops"
Our market opened higher and showed
a disposition to advance. Pressure,
however. again appeared In New YORK,
depressing May to 1881. The weakness
in the Northern market seems entirely
due to local technical conditions or pro
fessional designs in that quarter. I'm
mediate market prospects, therefore, all
depend on developments in New York.
As soon as technical conditions there
become properly adjusted and ideas sat
isfied in the respect, support is likely to
increase and speculation to work more
tremendously on the known bullish facts
OF the situation. BY that time the
misleading impression. caused by the
rapid moving of this crop. will also dis
appear.
There is no spot weakness whatever
here: only hedged cotton selling on a
future basis or occasionally some very
low cotton at small concessions.

COTTON GOSSIP

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: Yesterdays cotton market was
interesting enough, as an example Of
the influence of mind on matter. For
prices shrank in response to statistics
which prove nothing after ALL The big
movement both ways, as disclosed by
the record of ports and interior towns
was not necessarily mean that the gen
eral idea Of the crop is clearing, but Is
rather to be taken as revealing the
magnitude Of demand. II should not be
forgotten that the Census figures furnish
trustworthy guide to the size Of the
crop at this stage Of the game. II
must be remembered, too, that the
trade had no such guide in old days
But more important by far than any
statistics is the change which has come
over the financial markets within the
last week.
TRADERS in cotton may ignore this
change, as traders in stocks ignored II
on Thursday last But in the markets
as elsewhere the moral forces tell In
the long run, and there is no particular
reason why the South's chief commodity
should be an exception to the rule.
I,oweli remarked that Twas useless to
argue against an east wind and that
comfort could be got only by turning
up the collar of ones overcoat.' BY the
same token. as stubborn philosophy rs
the sole safeguard against the blasts
Of pessimism, beneath which the South
Is shivering just now

crash came he flashed the s O. s.
over the sea, but had to give I'D his
efforts when the batteries failed
Then he got his life preserver.
Suddenly he saw a woman who had
no preserver, and thereupon was en-
acted the greatest deed of heroism
that Lever expect to see.
Making his way along the tilted
deck to the woman, Ferdie said quiet

He placed the cork belt about the
woman and threw her overheard. She
