These Watches Real Antiques.

A watch that is 200 years old has
every right to be called an antique.
But a watch that was an antique at
the time of the French revolution and
was we'll past the century mark when
Louis XIV was adjoining himself In
satins, silks and velvets, that watch
today is an antique in every sense of

COTTON TRADING
 DULL, IRREGULAR }. !
Early Decline Is Followed By Rallies On Covering, And
 Market Closes Firm

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet today with the price movement irregular. An early decline on reports of increas- ing domestic mill curtailment was fol- lowed by rallies on covering and after selling up from 33.10c to 38.45c, May closed at 33.43c, compared with 83.47c at the close of Saturday. The general market closed firm, net Is points lower to 10 points higher, active old crop po- sitions showing net losses of to g points.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 16 points in sympathy with relatively steady Liverpool cables. There was some southern selling here as we'll as local and Wall street pres sure during the early trading and . few stop-loss orders were uncovered as May worked below 33.25c. Their execu- tion sent the old crop months about 37 to fl points below the closing quota tions of last week, with March selling down to 32 soc and July to S1.S3c. ~ New crop months were relatively 27 6sc for October, of 25 ponts net low CT, owing to the weakness of the spring and summer deliveries. After the stop loss orders were out of the way, offer ings tapered off and the tone was steadier during the fternoon, with most positions makir new highs for the day in the late Trading. Houses with Liverpool and Kew Orleans con- nections were among the late buyers, while there was more or less covering by recent local or Wall street sellers, possibly in anticipation of relatively firm cables from Liverpool tomorrow. It was reported during the morning that two of the larger Augusta mills are now running only four days per week and that ome of the other mills in that section may adopt a similar schedule. These reports of curtailment in the south were accompanied corc- plaints of a poor trade in the local market for cotton goods, and evidently served to offset the relatively steady ruling of Liverpool during the early trading.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 2S.-After being depressed during the entire ses- sion the cotton market made a strong rally in the late trading today and closed 10 points up to points down net for the day. This late strength appeared to be due to a greatly i'm proved technical situation, consequent upon the evening up of a stale long interest, and when early sellers tried to get back their cotton they supplied the ring with a demand which 1t could not meet except at a rise. The last sale of March was at 33.20c pound and of October at 27.32c. t
 On the opening the market fell off because of the lack of support rather than on account of any unfavorable news. Liverpool stood about as due. The weather map was considered rather favorable and caused scattered selling. Early declines amounted to 17 to 39 points, tafre which there was a partial recovery, and then a break un- der liquidation to levels g to fl points under the close of last week. This was the low of the day, March falling to 32.7Sc and October to 27.12c.
 Private cablegrams from London claimed that the outlook was for a set clement of the rail strike with AS hours, and this gave the market a steadier tone, but the early afternoon saw only small advances. The strongest period came toward the close, when March rose to 33.i4c, where the list was 10 points up to 1 point down, compared with the last sales of last week.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.--Corn led big rally in the grain market todaf. A decrease was shown in the United States visible supply of corn ana or wheat and oats as we'll. Besides damp weather was bullish factoH The corn market was nervous at tK close but notwithstanding an early decline, finished h@H to 1c higher May. 7sM s @80c. Wheat closed firm 3 # to Nc gain; May, I$1.09k and July, $l.O7%, with oats A6x to E@zgup and pro visions unchanged to 25/ down.
 Corn scored an advau;e Of nearly 2c from the day's lowest ufces and finish cd near the top figure or the season. Persistent selling had depressing ef- feet during the early tde. but an ex- cellent class ofS buyi absorbed the pit sutplus, and when Pme or the pre- vious sellers tried to witch their po- sition they found littI Tor sale. Bull leaders promptly becA aggressive in purchasing, and were ded by numer- ous recruits who were Fluenced by the fact that the market been on the downgfxde for severa days and who were anticipating . rel ton.
 Increased receipts offorn at Kansas City, Omaha and St. Xpuis had much to do with the temu6ary downward swing Of the corn n&rket. Receipts here, however. were f1s from burden some, and country otlerfngs dropped away to virtually notAi9s when prices Oats today like corn got within a fraction of the best pt1ces sd far this season. The >readine6s with which profit teking sales of hfte in the oats market have been absorbed helped to lift values.
 Wheat reflected in tie main the ac- tion of corn. Today's decrease in the visible supply made al total reduction three weeks.
