In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK. May 26.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady today at an advance OF
two to three points.
Business was evenly divided during the
early dealings, New Orleans, Wall street
and the trade buying, while some of the
spot interests and southern wire concerns
were sellers.
Fine weather conditions in the belt off =
set a frmer stock market. but there was
continued disposition to even up short
lines for over the holidays and in anttci-
patton of bullish crops reports and the
tone held quite steady.
One June notice was in circulation at
the start.
New York cotton opening: July, 1295c :;
October, 12.3Sc; December, hose; March,
1449c,
The market rallied late in the day and
the close was very steady at a net de
cline of 1 to Ii points.
LIVERPOOL, May 26-spot cotton
opened in fair inquiry today with prices
steady and sales approximating 5000
bales.

The excellent showing of Southern Pa
eifc, Baltimore 4 Ohio and Pennsylya,
MIA Railroads Influenced general buying
throughout the railroad list and this, to-
gether with other favorable overnight de-
velOpments, started a covering movement
which extended through all departments.
Outside interest, however, seems insult
hcient TO maintain a general advance,
and the market again showed tendency
TO sag after the early demand was salts
fed
The above mentioned railroad state
ments- are to Oimportant to be overlooked.
They undoubtedly are the forerunners Of
others Of their kind, and should do much
to restore confidence, which of late has
been more or less lacking in this group.
Announcement Of the regular dividend
on Railway Steel Springs was a welcome
surprise to the trade. and did much 10
stimulate buying in the equipments. 1t
gives rise to the thought that the Bald
win dividend will also be maintained
While in some quarters there are in
dications of improved business cOndi-
tons, there is nothing of this nature as
vet In the steel or motor industries and
securities of these cOrporations were
pressed for sale.
The advance Of ~ per cent for money
also served as a deterrent to bullish ac-
tivity.
On the whole. there is much in the sit
uatiOn to warrant optimism. But over
enthusiasm on the bull side should b.
avoided, and purchases confined to the
ewak spots as they appear.

r2nged at $S10dS25.
Trade in cattle was again dull, and
prices were weak to % cents lower. Re
ceipts Appropriated 900 cattle. Reasons
for the dullness and lower prices were
given as a slack in the beef trade and

fair zone of trade and receipts close to

brought S909.j0. Good calves sold at

10 PAINTINGS BY DEGAS AND
NOTABLE GOTHIC ART SHOWN

All of the museum authorities and
most of the keen art enthusiasts of the
city were early on hand yesterday morn
ing to view the Degas paintings of
Jacques Seigmann and the Gothic art OF
the late Henry c. Lawrence, now being
shown at the American Art Association
The sale. few days hence. will be pe-
yond question the most important auc-
ton of the year.
or the Degas paintings collected by
Mr.. Seligmann II appears the half has
not been told. The photographs that had
come across seas in advance did scant
justice to them Degas is one of the
great masters of drawing in the modern
world, and drawing reproduces in pho
Biography well enough. but not color.
The color in these paintings and pastels
will be a revelation to many. 1t Is
vibrant. distinguished. PERSONAL an en-
phatic accompaniment to the powerful
drawing In some of the later pastels
the artist leaned more heavily upon
color than upon drawing, so that groups
of them provide regular feasts of color
comparable in pure color expression to
the old Gothic glass in the Lawrence
collection.
There are over seventy works by
Degas. ranging from the severity of the
period when Degas was still under the
influence of Ingres to the time Of COM
plete emancipation, when even the fond
ness for more or less Japanese compost
tons had become personal to himself
Degas and Renoir have exercised
longer and more complete domination
over their contemporaries than any
other artists, and it is chiefly due to the
fact that, like Michelangelo, they re-
manned students to the end Of their days
They We're never satisfied themselves
with their productions. They never be-

structive and fortifying to artists to
watch the change that has come over

these same ballet girls have the entree

upon this occasion.
In the case of so great a man as
Degas every scrap by him is important,
but the choice among them Of a museum
may be aided by consensus. With
that end in view the following list of
particularly fine things is submitted,
though not in the order of their relative
merit: No. 2, Studies of the Nude No

Jockeys; No. 40. Dancers in the Green

Women No. So, Two Dancers Practis-
ing at the Bar, and No. 66, Arranging

not on this list belong. in strict ethics,
to French museums. where the entire
genesis OF Degas's art may be studied
The Henry C. Lawrence collection of
Gothic art is entirely worthy of this
high association Indeed. Gothic experts
will put the phrase the other way. Mr.
Lawrence specialized in early stained
glass and hammered brass ware, and in
the first of these to such an extent that
II became the most important private
collection of stained glass in the coun-
try, but his entire residence was filled
with furniture and decorations from by
gone ages, chosen with the same high
intelligence as was the glass.
AS II exists at present and arranged
as II is with consummate taste by Miss
Lorenz. it provides innumerable points
for discussion. The wonderful Gothic
tapestries. the vivid figures carved In
wood the furniture, the damasks the
metal work, all recall the ages when
applied art seemed to be so much easier
than at present. The fact that nowhere
In the collection is there a piece with
out Significance will seem a miracle to
other collectors. but this success Is ex-
planned by the fact that Mr.. Lawrence's
father was himself a collector.
The chief astonishment. naturally. is
