 TIE GOODS TRADE
 UNSE:TTL.ES COTTON

New York, Jan 26.-The cotton market was unsettled and generally lower today owing to talk of an easier tendency in the goods trade, les favorable reports as to prospects for early action on the peace treaty, and continued nervousness with reference foreign exchanges and money rates. Early declines were followed by rallies, but the advances were not fully maintained and the general list closed steady at q net decline of , to 12 points.
 The market opened steady to 2 decline owing to rumors that price" either had been cut or were to be cut on some of the prominent of cotton goods. Liverpool was fully up to expectations and sent some buying orders here, which with a moderate demand from domestic trade interests. Caused slight ral- lies after the call. There was ovf- dcntlv nervousness over the good situation, however, owing to report ' of a less active demand at first hands and apprehensions that second hand holdings might be Fouidatcd because of tighter money situation This led to considerable selling Trade interests were buyers on a scale down and as soon as the pres sure slackened prices firmcd mp on covering, which was promoted by the absence of any definite confirmation of rumored decline in cotton goods and reports that there was very little selling here by the South

"What was the big idea about the anniversary Bess 2" Crittenden asked as I was taking down my hair His tone was very conciliatory. Did YOU want some fuss and feathers little celebration or something's? ?'
 q thought we might have the Boyds and the Langleys to dinner, but"
 But what?" demanded Critten- den, goodnaturedly taking hold ot my arms and playfully shaking me. | "People who have been married twenty years or who feel that they may not want to do such gidd3 thing as celebrate,'' l said.
 He laughed at me for my pains.
 "You take things altogether too seriously, Bess," he insisted, smiling
 "You said one would think it was the twentieth anniversary the way I nagged at you," I reminded him accusingly. ,,,
 "Well, by George, one would" he said, grinning at me. "Pm the most nagged at husband in the state."
 You're not"
 "Why am l not?'
 Because am the most bully ragged wife" "'
 "Well, quit nagging at me now and let's talk about the dinner par ty,'' he suggested, his good humo' quite restored

 Crittenden entered into the spirit of the celebration with much en- thusiasm. 1 was pleased
 "Well have regular, bang up party" he declared.
 Indeed l was pleased at the turn the affair had taken. What had threatened to develop into a quarrel had ended in an enthusiastic, even gleeful discussion of how we should celebrate our anniversary.

 He smiled at me engagingly in q way that was so unusual as to be almost new, I was delighted.
 "All right" l agreed and gladly. It was the first time he had invited me to luncheon for months. I had begun to think he never would again. We had been a long, long tune readjusting our normal rela- tions. At times I had almost des- paired, but had kept on hoping for return to conditions that would make it possible for us to live to- gether in teace and happiness.
 Crittenden and 1 had been very happy together, at times when fife had been made so hard by our quarrels. And my regrets were more bitter when I recalled that nearly all of our qrarrels had resulted from unimportant things.

New Orleans Gotten.

New Orleans. Jan. 26. During the greater part of today's session the cotton market was depressed by the unfavorablc tone of European poll tical news, by the absence of any supporting influence that might be called new and by the view held by a considerable element that weath- CT conditions over the belt were a out to take turn for the better, The only strong period of the day followed dispatches from Washing ton expressing the belief that action on the peace treaty was certain this week Late in the session there were fresh sags so that the close tn net unchanged to 24 points lower.
 Small buying was aroused around the middle of the day by interior claims of better industry for the lower grades, but spot markets as a general thing were not active. Local ly, spots were unchanged at 40 cents for middling.

New York Sugar.


 New York, Jan. 26.--The local mar ket for raw sugar was firm and un- changed at 12 cents for Cubas cost and freight equal to 1904 for cen trifugal. Business was not very active, sales only aggregating 10000 bags of Cubas for first half Febru- ary clearance to refiner at 12 cents cost and freight, but offerings were light, owing perhaps to reports of a railroad strike in Cuba, which would interfere with the movement to the ports. There were also sales of 10000 bags of Cubas of clearance during the second week in February to an operator at 12 cents cost and freight.
 Nothing new has developed in the refined situation, refiners allocatint only limited quantities to theil regular customers. Prices were un changed at 15 to 16 cents for fint granulated.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Jan. 26. Reports that the car supply in some sections west oi here had become more plentiful tended today to ease the corn mar ket. Prices closed heavy at the same as Saturdays finish to 3-4 cents lower, with May 1.35 l-4 to 3-8 and July l32 3-8 to 12. Oats lost l-5 cent to 5-S cent In provisions, the outcome ranged from 25 cent de- cline to cent advance,
 At first, cold wave predictions to- gether with a sharp advance in hog values gave the corn market an up ward slant. There was a lack Of aggressive buying, and the bears were soon able to force q reaction. Virtually no notice was taken of the fact that the corn visible supply total today was the smallest in 50 years.
 Oats were governed by the chan gcs in corn
 In provisions, selling for stock yard interests more than offset ho@ market upturns.
