NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. PA more hope
full view of peace prospects seemed
to be largely responsible for an open
ing advance of co II points in the
cotton market today. Buying by
brokers who sometimes operate for
German interests was factor in this
connection and May contracts sold up
to 17.41 right after the call or 20
points above the low level reached
yesterday. General buying was re-
stricted however by unfavorable re-
ports from the Manchester goods
trade and the falling off in the
amount of shipAoard awaiting clear
ance with the, market comparatively
quiet on the advance.
Buying became more active later
with May contracts selling up to
1885 and October to 1856 or about SO
to 35 points net higher. Part of the
demand came from spot house brok-
ers, but the bulk of the support was
attributed to Wall street interests
who were believed to be influenced
by the renewed peace discussions.
The close was steady.
Cotton closed very steady.

New Orleans, Jan. 27.-After hest
tation on the opening call, during
which the most active months lost
2 to a points, the local cotton market
today took on steady tone and rose
7 to 10 points on the strength of the

vnand was met by slender offerings,
the market displaying no selling

mess.
Spot cotton quiet, 6 points up.
Sales on the spot II bales; to arrive

Peace rumors spread about during
the middle of the morning stimulated

MASTER WILL SHAKESPEARE

continued in the happy assurance that 1t was only Master Shakespeare. The tradition of geniality clings to him like a faded perfume. Every one was more himself for being in the company of Shakespeare This is not specula tion but truth; without such a gift he could not have come by his Knowledge of mankind. Those lofty and severe tempers who, often to their own shame, make others feel abashed and shy, could by no pos sibility even if they were dramatically minded, collect the materials of Shakes peare's drama.
