New York Cotton.

New York, Feb. 17.-There was a renewal of active near-month liquida- tion at the opening of the cotton mar ket this morning and first prices were , points lower to ? points higher with the new crop relatively steady. March contracts sold off to4 11.63c. May to 11.S5c and July to 12 O5c right after the call, or about 4@6 points under last nights closing figures. but many near .ronth sellers seemed to be buyins later deliveries. while Liverpool also bought July and Qc tcber and the new crop held steady around last nights final quotations. Rene wed nervousness over the sub <, marin:s question and the unsettled sruling of the stock market probably promoted scme of the scattering liquidation. but interest seemed to center n the evening up of March , contracts int'advance of the notices expected next week.
 Trading became less active later in the morning and prices steadied on covering which was encouraged by more favorable political advices from Washington and reports that interior spot hclders were not lIeeting the de cline. March sold up to l1.67c, or within point of last nights closing prices, while later mo1rhs ruled about 1@6 points net higher shortly after midday. -.y ,ss "

AMERICAN COUNTESS
 DIES IN GERMANY

Berlin, Feb. 11-Many German pa pers pay high tribute to the Countess Marie von Oriola, who has just died at her castle, near Buedesheim, at the age of 70 years and is mourned by thousands of poor whom she helped.
 The countess was an American. Her father, John Christ, made a large for tune as a manufacturer in New York, where she was born in 1S46. In 1862 her parents returncd to their native town, Hanau, Hcssc-Nassau. and her father built 9 beautiful castle. Short ly after her arrival in Germany she was married to Consul General Dr. George Rerna of Frankfort-on-the- Main, owner of Castle Buedesheim in Upper Hesse. Her husband died in 1865 when she was not yet twenty years old.
 The rich young widow had many suitors, but for fifteen years she re- jected all offers of marriage. In the spring of 1880 she made the ac- Guaintance of Count Waldemar von Oriola, a government official who was ten years younger than herself. After a short courtship she accepted the count and the marriage proved eX tremely happy, although it remained childless like the first one of the countess.
 The count left the government ser vice to manage his estates and those of his wife. A few years later he was elected to the Prussian diet and then to the Reichstag. He became famous as parliamentarian and re- mained active until his death in April, 1910.
 With her husband the countess during the last thirty years devoted most of her time and a large part of her means to philanthropy. The couple founded ard supported many chartab institutions and aided thousands of families in distress. The city of Frankfort has named one of it's streets after the countess in grateful remembrance of her many charitable acts.
 At the death of the countess her fortune amounted to more than $2,- 000,00e. As she did not leave will, her estate goes to a number of dis tant relatives, who are mostly poor people.
