New Y’ork Commercial An effort Is lielng made to put luto the new Oklahoma constitution, now being drafted, a clause providing for the well ' nnd classing of cotton by the state. genus to be uo reason why the state should not inspect cotton as well us grain. Sup" pose Texas bud a state Inspection, nud put ft stamp, “Texas cotton," on every bale raised in that state, it would certainly . Jeot the buyer who wants Texas cc “ nnd tend to Increase tbe value of < „ hale of cotton raised in the Lone Star State. There are many ways In which the cotton grower could be benefited by lutelligent legislation, without nil efforts In a legisla tive way being directed ugulust the cotton exrtmngcn. Into-sfgbt figures during January are go ing to look very big when they nre com parwl with those of tho big crop year. It must be remembered, however, that during January two years ago the South wns really holding cotton. There hns been n good deni of nlvlce given to farmers this year to hold their cot- tou, and it must have had some sort of ef fect. although the general opiulon In the market Is that there hns been but little holding better market nfter the holidays," Is the prediction, but there seetns little reason for expectlug nny great excitement this week. There was ft Joint conference of repre sentatives of the English cotton mill em ployers and operatives the other day on the holiday question.

The opinion now Is that a good many notice, will be circulated and give us it lower market for tomorrow. I venture “e araertton, however, with the big difference between spots and futures, ** "'-h as thirty-odd points between January and March, all tenders will be readily absorbed by the moneyed Inter- «t. no matter what the grade. In fact, i rather look for the very people who make ihe tenders to be the most urg- «l buyers, after the break, so as to -ret jfielr cotton back, selling March against the purchase, which pays the member of the exchange very nicely on his transaction, giving him good Interest on his money, besides a small amount on the currying difference.

New York, Dec, 27,—Today's mar ket rose mainly In consequence of It* own oversold condition, which was protty apparent at the close of bust- - ness yesterday. On the resumption of business In London the financial com munity were confronted with another unfavorable showing by the Bank of Kngland. Reserve fell off nearly 85,- 000,000, Indicating that the arrivals of Paris gold had been absorbed, with a large loss besides by the demands of the home Interior. This drain, hotv- ever, as Is well understood, always oc curs at this time of year, and In the usual course of events Is quickly re plenished after tho first of the year, when the settlement requirements nre over. Accordingly, while the proportion of reserve to liabilities has fallen off from 84 1-2 to 171-4 per cent on the week, the bank statement occasioned no uneasiness In today's transaction on tho foreign neeurlty markets.
