Siw York, Jan. 9.—Rlordan & Cos. say
’‘ Cotton to-day: “The Indications of a
*i market, which we noted on the l ist
°' Ulp oltl year, were not mlsle.vl-
Indications are far stronger
• than then, and n large majority of
traders here to-day believe in high, r
. 1 ,le Liverpool advance to-day
'appointed many of the bulls and th. rs
; ’ aUs 10 realise in the early trading,
with the result of a decline of half a
dozen points. But the reaction was checked
by fresh buy,ng orders, and as there was
little cotton for sale, prices hardened and
advanced several points higher than the
highest of yesterday. There was a slight
recession at the close. March opened at
7.17 c, declined to 7.13 c, rallied to 7.24 c and
closed at 7.21@7.22c, with the tone steady.
The evident tendency of the receipts to
dwindle all over the cotton belt has
silenced, in great measure, the 9,000,009-
crop talk of the bears. They now lay
stress upon preparations for a monster
crop next season as reason why prices
ought not to advance now. There is lit
tle doubt that the south will plant for ns
large a yield as it can; but everybody
knows that it is the season and not the
planting which determines the size of the
crop, besides, no matter how large the
next crop shall promise to be, that can
not keep the spindles running through
next summer if, as now seems likely,
there should be a scarcity of the raw ma
terial. Unless the volume of receipts
should again increase, we expect a grad
ual improvement in prices. But our
friends need not be surprised at frequent
set-backs. On all such set-backs we favor
buying, but on bulges, it is good policy to
secure profits.”
New York, Jan. 9.—The Sun says of cot
ton: “The trading to-day was quiet, but
the sentiment continues bullish and prices
advanced. At the opening prices declined
slightly on sales to realize profits, but
there was not much pressure to sell, and
the loss was soon recovered and an ad
vance followed. Liverpool was higher,
both for futures and spots, with a good
demand for spot cotton. Manchester ad
vices were bullish; the receipts at the
ports and the interior towns were light,
and southern advices predict a continu
ance of the light movement. New Or
leans was a good buyer here, and there
was considerable new buying. According
to southern advices the crop movement in
February will be very light, whereas the
movement in February last was very
heavy.”
DRY GOODS.
New Fork, Jan. 9.—The week closes with
out Improvement In the general tone In
the dry goods market, beyond a slight
encouragement, and buyers have little
or no difficulty in supplying their needs on
easy terms in most quarters. The print
cloth situation is unchanged in any re
spect. Woolen goods are dull throughout,
and no new feature is noticeable to-day.
NAVAL STORES.
Spirits Turpentine—There was no de
mand for spirits turpentine to-day, and
the business was decidedly dull. Factors,
however, were expecting an inquiry and
firmly held their offerings at the market
quotation. At the first call at the Board
of Trade the market was bulletined firm
at 25%c, with sales of 100 casks;' at the
last call it was bulletined firm and un
changed, with no sales reported.
Rosin—Pale grades were in slow de
mand and the prices dropped. There was
a fair demand at the declines, and the
business for the day was up to the aver
age. At the first call at the Board of
Trade the market was bulletined firm at
a decline of 5c on water white, window
glass and M, with other grades unchanged.
The reported sales were 1,302 barrels. At

New York, Jan. 9.—The stock market
was irregular, but In the main weak. Deal
ings were on a small scale, the total stiles
footing up only 40.697 shares, of which 7,500
were Sugar, 4,200 St. Paul, and 2,300 Dela
ware and Hudson. The losses in the lead
ing issues were confined to narrow limits.
Delaware and Hudson, which scored the
heaviest loss, declined only a point. Li
quidations account for the weakness of
this specialty. Union Pacific was ad
versely affected by Washington rumors
that the funding bill will not pass the
House. Wheeling and Lake Erie, prefer
red, fell 2% to 24% at one time and then
rose to 26%. The variations in the Gran
gers, Trunk Lines, Manhattan, Western
Union and international issues were con
fined to these transactions. Sugar was
strengthened at the opening by Toledo ad
vices that a settlement of the war with
the Arbuckles was likely. Insiders here,
however, stated that there was no truth
in the report and at the close, the early
gain in the stock was lost. Chicago Gas,
Leather, preferred, and American Spirits
were comparatively firm. Illinois Steel
suffered a break of nearly 6 points; fall
ing to 32, owing to unsatisfactory trade
conditions. Just near the 'close, Jersey
Central bounded up 2 per cent, to 102 on
attempts to cover short contracts. The
rise had no influence on the general mar
ket, which left off weak in tone. The
hank statement was a remarkably good
exhibit, but it also fell flat. The increase
in reserve was enormous, amounting io
$10,704,500. The gain In cash, legal tenders
and specie, footed up $15,017,800 and the in
crease In deposits was $17,253,200. The
banks now hold $43,991,450 in excess of legal
requirements Asa rule, the active stocks
show losses of %@1 per cent on the day.
Jersey Central, however, gained 2 per
cent. Bonds were firm. The sales footed
up $651,000.

Chicago, Jan. 9.—No particular strength
existed in wheat to-day; in fact, the feel
ing was barely steady at an average ad
vance of 14c over yesterday's close.
May wheat opened from 81% to 81%c, de
clined to 81*.iic. closing at 81%c—%@%c high
er than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm
and %c higher.
Corn was tirm early, taking its incentive
from the advance in wheat and from the
heavy clearances from both coasts for
the week, 4.519.000 bushels. These exports
are the largest on record and go far to
confirm the theory that corn is being used
for wheat in a great many instances. May
corn opened at 2Se and declined to 21%®
24%c, closing at 24%c—%c under yesterday.
Cash corn was >4e lower.
Cats—The better wheat and corn mar
ket resulted In producing firmness in oats
at the opening. Though the trade was
light, there was nevertheless a moder
ately good local business. May oats clos
ed a shade under yesterday. Cash oats
were steady at unchanged prices.
Provisions—Some irregularity was no
ticeable in provisions. Lard was relatively
firmer than either pork or ribs. Trading
was quite active. The hog market was
higher, which fact helped things a lit
tle. At the close May pork and ribs were
each a shade higher than yesterday and
May lard 2%e higher.
