Cables stated a pessimistic feeling con tinued to hang heavy over the for eign markets, futures easier on bear hammering and execution of straddle selling orders On the decline con siderable amount of stop loss orders were reached. Our markets opened 12 to 15 lower on the weak Liver pool and discouraging cables, on the decline, however, considerable proflt taking and fresh buying orders came into the market and prices immedi- ately rallied and finally ran over yesterdays close, the closing figures were practically unchanged from last night. New Orleans wired that large spot houses said there were a few in Quiries for spots at this level and mills were calling for some cotton. The New York certificated stock Of January 23 was 61,S19 bales against 65,311 as of January 19, making de- crease of 3,492 bales for the period.
 The absence of any bracing feature yesterday and today leaves the cotton market under an influence of series of depressing developments that might take values lower if good news from the spot people and better cables are not received. The statis- tical position of the staple, however seems to operate as supporting fac tor at different periods. Within the next few weeks all of the last years crop will have been marketed. leav- ing only the surplus from a year ago for the trade to draw from for its requirements.-S. R. Stewart & Co.

SHANNON < CO.'S LETTER


 New York, January 24-( (Special) The cotton market has been unsettled all day presenting rather tired ap- pearance in the early trading. with selling quite general on poor cables and an unfavorable view of foreign and domestic trade advices with nothing to suggest any revival of spot demand so lifeless at present but with the outlook rather that holders In some instances at all events would grow tired and begin to press their cotton for sale as jndi- cated by some of the advices received today on that subject. Later when local ring shorts turned to cover they found little for sale and prices work ed up again rather easily and quickly with indications of an over-sold con dition corresponding with advices re- ceived from New Orleans as to the situation existing in that market where a firmer tone began to show it. ] self even sooner than here,
 ! Our policy would be to maintain for the present a trading position with an open mind but leaning to buying distant months on really weak periods though not overlooking fair profits when in sight.

Alan. No Indian liked him. He would
not hand anything to an Indian or
wrap anything IN paper for an Indian.
Say 1t was like this: An Indian comes
in to buy salt pork. First the maa
would get the money. Then, Alan, he
would take his hook and pull the pork
up out Of the barrel and throw 1t on
the dirty floor for the Indian to pick
up. He said Indians must take their
food of Of the floor-like dogs.
MY father had to take the bullocks
to the man, across to Beaver island.
At first the Indians did not know who
the bullocks were for, so they helped
him. When they found out the bull
locks were for the man on Beaver
Island, the Indians would not help him
any longer. He had to take them
across alone. Besides, 1t was bad
