BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 27.-Issu-
ance of January notices featured the
cotton market today on resumption
of trading after the Christmas non
day. No definite estimate of their
number was available, but it was
supposed they represented nearly
the entire certificated stock OF
around $4,000 bales, and while thelr
circulation brought out some llqul-
dation, it was readily absorbed by
the buying of spot houses against
sales of later deliveries.
This buying helped the tone of the
general market, and after opening
steady at an advance of four 10 hlne
points, active months sold Is to ~
points net higher. January advanc-
ing to 1862 and May to 1905, before
the end Of the first hour.
Reports of continued bad weather
for harvesting in the South probably
brought in some buying of the later

The lure of a secret, and the thrill

knowledge that plans now under way
promise an event sure to surpass
anything done here this season, all
| these so to make the Mardi Gras ball
Of the George Washington Memorial
an occurrence of vast interest TO
Washington society just now.
To be held on the evening of

| be unknown at tEis time, are said tC
| be famed for their experience and
| success n such carnival affairs as
this, Washington's first real Mard
Gras ball, already is well on it's way to
| a brilliant social, pictorial and, withal
| financial success.
Great secrecy prevails as to the
personnel and plans of the men,
committee, but a riot OF color In cos
tunes and decorations, and number
| less thrills and surprises are promised
to those attending the ball.
The king, the queen and the eight
attendants of these royal personages
will shortly be chosen by secret
committee and also shortly two inVi-
tations will go out from each of the
SO maskers, to certain ladies to do II
dance at the ball with the unknown
knights. Two dances will be set
apart for the maskers and their Ia
dies, and then all the gay throng will
again mingle together in the carnival
scepe.
Except for the royal personages,
their attendants and the maskers, no
guests will wear costumes, but 1t has
leaked out that an oriental atmoS'
phere will prevail in spite of the con-
ventional evening garb of the throng
| of dancers.
