NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-R-The
cotton market opened barely steady
at a decline of 6 to II points, and
soon showed net losses of % TO 33
points on active months under liqui-
dation and local selling inspired by
a sharper falling off in domestic
consumption for December than an
ticipated.
Selling was active but the decline
to 1885 for March and 1895 for May
brought in trade buying which alb
serbed offerings and led to rallies Of
10 or IL points from the lowest be-
fore the end OF the first hour.
The market was less active later.
Bulges of 10 or u points from the
early decline met some further liqui-
dation, which caused rather irregular
fluctuations, but there was enough
buying on the setbacks to give the
market . fairly steady undertone.
Prices at midday were holding around
1897 for March and 1907 for MAJ
or about 20 TO % points net lower on
the active positions.

IMPRISONMENT.
FOR LIFE METED
OUT TO HICKMAN

LOS ANGELES, March II P)-
William Edward Hickman had
sentence Of life Imprisonment in San
Quentin penitentiary assessed against
him today for the murder of druggist
&C. Ivy Toms in holdup. The youth
already is under sentence OF death
for the kidnapping and killing of the
schoolgirl Marian Parker.
Welby Hunt, Hickman's II year old
companion in murder, who was con-.
victed along with him, will come up
for sentence tomorrow.
The two prisoners were convicted
by, the same jury last week In each
case the verdict was guilty Of murder
with recommendation of imprison-
ment for life.
Hunt, being under the legal age
for confinement in a peniientiary
will be held in a reformatory for a
year, then he will be re-sentenced and
sent to San Quentin.
County Jail officials announced at
first that Hickman would be rushed
to San Quelttin as soon as he was
sentenced today; later they said he
might not be removed to the PRISON
until FT1day.
Indications about the jail we're that
secrecy would be observed in the
removal of Marian Parker's killer to
the death row in the state prison to
avoid any demonstrations against
him,
The death sentence which Hickman
received for the Parker crime viii
bring him to the gallcws April 27
unless a legal stay is obtained in
the meantime. His attorney, Jerome
Walsh, has stated that he will carry
Hickman's case to the supreme court
of the United States to test the
new California law governing plea
OF insanity.
In the Parker case Hickman plead
ed only mot guilty by reason OF in
sanity He was found sane and
forthwith sentenced to hang. In the
Toms case ne pleaded similarly
adding a straight plea of mot guilty"
as well.
