COTTON DECLINES
 A DOLLAR 4 BALE
Bear Pressure Felt In Cot ton Market and Resulted
 In a Drop of Prices

New Orleans, January 2O.-Bear pressure was felt by the cotton mar ket here today and it resulted in a decline of $1 bale at the lowest levels Selling was in evidence on the open ing call and offerings were liberal throughout the session, except during periods of profit takings by the scadp- ing element. This profit taking stead red tine market at the lowest levels and was the principal buying encountered at any time. Stop loss orders were re- ported reachen on a large scale on the long side.
 In the early trading prices were lowered by IA to 15 points, little at tention being paid to a private bullish forecast of the pending census bureau report on ginning. The private fore cast put the outturn from January to 15 at only 1O7,00O bales. After the first break a wave of realizing oc- cured and prices were lifted to with in 1 to 4 points of yesterdays close This upward movement served to at tract fresh selling which quickly as- stunned such proportions that the trad ing months were sent 19 to 70 points under yesterdays last quotations Profit taking again steadied the mar ket, but did not result in a very stron g recovery. The close was at net loss of 15 to 2S points.

AYerY's Letter

Wall street was the chief aggressor on the bear side today. Clevenberg sized the selling up as being mostly liquidation from the west, rather than short selling, though it is likely Wall street sold short, as the stock market had the stomachache, and whenever this is the case Wall street gets pessimistic on the whole world.
 The character of the buying was good and embraced such sterling firms as Hub bard, Hentz McFadden, Seidenberg, Hop- kins, Dwight, Randolph, all of which rep resent eastern mills, and spot buying. Liverpool also was a buyer. The spot markets of the south held steady, with decreased sales where prices were marked off. How long holders will maintain this position, in face of the export situation and approaching new crop preparations,
 is question which remains to be solved. Personally, I believe if the freight rate question can be relieved within a few weeks, the market could easily advance 75 points, as I firmly believe the market is technically short and speculatively short at that. On the other hand. if it is not relieved, the weight of the huge stocks of cotton at interior points and at the ports will bear heavily on prices, for if they cannot move it out of the country, they will put it on contracts, as sure as shooting.
 lN Manufacturers of print cloths are get ting around 26.26 cents for a pound of cotton put into cloth. At this rate they can afford to pay F cents for the raw material. It is up to the holder and farmer. If the latter plants another big acreage-Poof! goes the price. If he re- duces. the balance of this crop will bring a high price, freight rates or no freight rates. c. F. AVERY.

police who had thus far found no clue to the yelled thief. He was venomously sar-
 castle at the stupidity of Saals for having let the woman into his private office, and al his chauffeur's idiocy for not realizing that the penciled scrawl on the card was a forgery. He was even contemptuous at
 the thief herself for merely stealing the promissory notes, etc. and for leaving
 untouched a fat roll of money in big de-
 nomination bills that had been in the
 front of one of the desk drawers.
 There was but one gleam of comfort in Grants sour heart this bright morning. And that was his belief that the men
 whose names were signed to the miss ing documents would not know of the
 theft He figured that they would go on as usual, paying the hard-wrung install- ments on their notes; ignorant that those notes were no longer in existence and
 that the debtors themselves were now
 legally free from their tyrant
 True, the morning newspapers had told of the theft. But Grant was certain he could bluff each debtor into thinking his
 own particular note was not among those stolen.
 The task of bluffing these poor delin-
 quents promised to be absurdely easy. It
 would be refreshing bit of mental stim-
 ulant-after the smashing losses of the past "A hours,-to bully into subjection any or ms DOnQSlaVeS WnO might dare to pre- sume on the robb cry.
 He pictured, mentally, the visit of such
 men to his office. They would read the newspaper story. They would be buoyed
 up by the mad hope that their own notes
 were among those stolen. They would come-oh, so eagerly-to learn if their hopes were we'll founded. And then it would be bliss for the temper-twisted 1 Grant to assure them that the whole story was a fake and that their letters were welded as firm as ever.
 And presently, as he sat morbidly gloat- ing over such scenes, Grants first op- portunity came. A name was brought in to him. Joseph Brown had called begging for a word alone with him. Grant smiled i happily. Brown was a day-laborer to whom he had lent money when the bor- rower was out of work and had a sick child
 And, ever since, the workman had been kept hustling to meet the interest of the
 loan There was no chance for so poor a
 man to pay the principal. The interest 10 per cent week-was as much as he could scrape together. Brown and others of his type were George Grants chief sources of income
 "Tell him to come in,'' said Grant, glee- fully, as the caller was announced.
 He settled back in his desk chair, pleas antly anticipating the fun of browbeating the man into submission. Brown came into the inner office, clad in his work ing clothes. Generally on such visits, he paused at the threshold and meekly wait ed his masters leave to advance toward the desk
 But today he walked confidently up to Grant, his tanned face one broad grin. Without troubling to say Good morning."
 he handed Grant folded letter. Then: That's all," he remarked. "Bye-bye, you simy old money-spider. I'm out of your dirty net-for keeps"

FURTHER BREAK
 IN COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at Net Loss of II to
 15 Points

New York, January 20.-There was renewal of more or less general nquida- tion in the cotton market here today and a further sharp break occurred in prices with March contracts selling off to 12. 16c, or 19 points net lower and nearly &.5o per bale under the high level of last week. Prices steadied later on covering with March selling up to $12.22, and with the general list closing steady at net loss of Il to 15 points for the day
 There was evidently less nervousness over the Mexican situation than during yesterdays late trading, but Liverpool cables were easier and first prices here were unchanged on January and from 5 to points lower on later deliveries. Ac- tive months sold to 12 points under last nights closing figures immediately following the call, but trade interests were moderate buyers on the decline, and reports that domestic spinners were fix ing prices led to some scattered covering Rallies of to points from the lowest were followed by renewed weakness however and the selling became more ac- tive and general to break in the mar ket for Egyptian cotton and advices from Alexandria stating that new crop prepa- rations were making active progress un- der favorable weather conditions with prospects TOT a record acreage, seemed to encourage bearish sentiment around the local ring, and at times there was ac- tive Wall street selling. March liquida- ticr was also much in evidence on the decline which carried May contracts off to 12.41c, July to 12.53c and October to 12.53c during the middle of the day, or about r to 19 points net lower Trade interests bought March on a scale-down against sales of the later months, and as the VnlIlma nf liOIIi6a tinp s11hc daI prices turned steadier on covering and buying for a reaction. Reports that southern spot markets were not follow ing the decline in futures helped the rally of some 6 points from the lowest, but trading was comparatively quiet after the early break.

Bears Tree Hunter

From the New York World.
 Kane. Pa.-Chased up a tree by two bears. l.. M. McCracken, who lives near Highland, Elk county, had a thrilling experience while trying to gather honey from bee tree in the vicinity of Bear creek. He had no more than filled his pails when he heard loud noise be- hind him and saw two large black bears coming down the hillside
 Being unarmed, McCracken ran to a tree nearby and climbed rapidly to a high limb. There he perched while the bears at the honey which he had placed in the pails, tore the trunk of the tree open and secured the remainder After they had devoured all the honey the bears scampered off into the forest and McCracked ended his hours vigil in the tree.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 20.-(Special) )-Ca- bles this morning were lower than due and our market had a rather easier ap- pearance from the opening. There was rather more southern selling than has ap- peared heretofore, and this, together with the pressure on the near deliveries,
 brought about decline of some 15 points from yesterdays close. There was a steady demand from the trade, calling cot
 ton on the decline which afforded SUD- port to the market, and which is worthy of note as a further example of the ex- cellent business which is being done in domestic circles. The local feeling is nat urally bearish and there appears to be little speculative demand in the market At the same time. the strength of south ern markets and the good business being done by the domestic trade act as a SUD- port to the market.

Coffee Market

New York, January 20.-The market for coffee futures opened irregular at a decline of 3 points to an advance of 3 points. There seemed to be some scattering liquidation of near posi- tions, while there was a little cover ing of the later months, but sentiment seemed to be more or less confused by the fluctuations of Rio exchange on London, and prices eased off in the later trading on rumors of lower cost and freight offers. May decline from 710c to 706c and September sold off from 7.33c to 7.2Sc With the market closing at a net decline of l to f points. Sales. 15,750; January, 6.S2c; February, 690c; March, 6.97c; April
 7.01c; May, rose; June. HOG; July, 715c; August 7.2Oc; September. 7.25c; October 7f30c; November, 7.30c; De- cember 74Oc. Spot coffee dull; Rio Is, 7Ac; Santos 4s, 9Ac. There were ru- mors of a small amount of undesir- able Santos for January to, March at S.3Oc cost and freight, and that well described As had been sold at S.65c cost and freight in New Orleans. Owing to the fluctuations in exchange, however there appeared to be few firm offers and there was more or less confusion as to quotations.
 The official cables reported de- cline of 5-32 pence in the rate of Rio exchange on London with the Rio mar ket 75 reis higher and Santos un- , changed. Brazilian port receipts, 46,OOO;
