shortly after 4 o'clock when it had
eaten its way into the Frank & Seder
store. "A general alarm was then turn

by dense clouds OF smoke, had made
such progress into adjoining buildings
that they We're seen to be doomed. The

by the intense cold, it having been

neighboring restaurants to thaw street

Corn.--The market was again stimu-
lated by the strength in oats, and
throughout the greater part of the day
prices were firm, at one time showing
gains of sc to &c bushel. Toward
the close there was a reaction from the
top under profit taking and final prices
were &c lower to &c net higher. The
break in the stock market after the
Presidents message had been received
caused some of the late selling. An in
creased movement of new corn is still
largely prospective. Receipts were only
slightly larger than week ago, and
there was little to indicate that ship
pers are getting more than a moderate
increase in the number Of cars. Selling
operations in anticipation of the gov
ernment's efforts to relieve the stua-
ton have not proved profitable of late,
and the trade at large was inclined to
be timid about taking chances on the
short side, especially as cash corn in
the West showed steadier tone.

Cotton.

There was ! ak Of about 81 a
bale in the cotton market yesterday,
owing to increased liquidation, induced
by a feeling OF uncertainty as to the
showing OF approaching government
reports, continued reports OF free
Southern spot offerings, and nervous
ness caused by the reference to further
price regulation in the President ;
message to Congress. The lowest
prices Of the day were reached late IN
the afternoon, with January contracts
selling at 2s.l0, or SO points below the
closing figure Of Monday and l'3
points below the recent high record.
Trade interests were moderate buyers
ON a scale down. and there was enough
covering to cause rallies in the last few
minutes, the list showing net losses OF
81 TO S. points on the final transac-
tions.
The market was nervous and unset
tied from the outset. with overnight
selling orders considerably in evidence.
Trade buying was not of sufficient vol
ume 10 sustain prices in the face OF
increasing liquidation. Offerings were
pretty well absorbed on a gradual de-
clire until the text OF the President
message to Congress was received.
This was followed by more or less gen.
eraI discussion as TO the possibility OF
nrice fixing in cotton. Selling became
more urgent and stop orders were un-
