COTTON CLOSED WEAK:
TRADERS SOLD FREELY
Rise in Liverpool Freight Rates
Caused Increased Offerings

NEW YORK. Jan. A poor response
was made to the Liverpool advance on
the local Cotton Exchange at the opening
this morning. Prices tvere but to 10
points higher with the tone steady The
market i'm Liverpool showed advances of
1872 to l4la points, against AZ to 5la points
expected. 1t was pOintec out here how
ever. that with all the supplies of cotton
i'm the United States and the shortage Of
the staple in Liverpool there is virtually
no necessity for this market to follow the
English upturn.
Private cables from Liverpool stated
that the market there was very firm, with
covering by local shorts the feature.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day are estimated at 5000 bales, COM
pared with 46,156 bales last week, 1876
Trading continued quiet during the
middle of the day and fluctuations We're
narrow and irregular. Private wires from
Memphis reporting a good export demand
helped and prices rallied or 3 points
from the lowest but the loss of ocean
tonnage In the Mediterranean recently
has promoted the pessmistic view of oX-
port possibilities and this is combined by
local bears with predictions Of a greatly
increased acreage next spring. Nervous
ness over international relations also
played its par in offsetting the influence
of the firm Liverpool cables.
\ dispatch from New Orleans via Mem
phis to the effect that freights on cotton
to Liverpool had been advanced to SO per
100 pounds and that spot dealers were
more inclined to sell led to increased
offerings in both the New Orleans and
local contract market. with prices easing
off II TO l6 points from the high,
Exports for the day aggregated Sil7
bales, compared with l9,iOO bales year
ago Today's total included 7l7 bales to
France. j95S bales to the Continent and
22i2 bales to Japan and China. Clearances
for the season amount TO 2,3i3.GSl bales,
contrasted with 2,625.I22 bales for the cor
responding period last season.

TRANSPORT SUMNER IN&
DANGER OF GOING TO PIECES
Barnesat Coast Guard Called to the
Assistance of Men on Board.


New York, Dec. 16.-The United
States transport Sumner, which went
aground off Barnegat. n. j.. in a fog
Monday night and which has resisted
all efforts of tugs to draw her off the
sand, was believed early this morning
to be in danger of going to pieces.
Vessels which had gone to her assist
ance have been asked to stand by to
take off the members of the crew who
have remained on board. -
A call also was sent to the Barnegat
coast guard crew to come to the as
sistance of the men on board.
| The transport began leaking badly
early in the evening and the engine
room was flooded before midnight At
that hour the Sumner began to settle
deeply into the sand and it was be-
ieved there was slight probability the
vessel would be saved.
Sixty one members of the crew of
the Sumner were brought to this city
yesterday on board the transport Kill
patrick which had stood by for many
hours to lend its aid to the tugs which
were attempting to drag the stranded
steamer into deep water.
The ships wireless could not be
heard after 1890 and apparently had
been flooded. 1t had been gradually
growing weaker for some time and the
last words caught were: Were:
I'VE are launching po-"
The last word was not finished but
it was supposed to mean power boat.
Boats from the coast guard cutter
Seneca and others manned by the
Barnegat coast guards were on their
way to the Summers side a few min
utes later.
