New York, Jan. 13.—There was a let-up
in speculative activity in the cotton fu
tures to-day, and considerable talk around
the opening of a "loppy” market. The
general market bearings, however, were
quite as substantial as at any time since
the late rise began. Fluctuations narrow
ed down to a matter of 4 points. The first
call developed a steady feeling, and while
starting at a decline of 1 point, finished at
an advance of 2.
Following the call there was a further
general improvement of 2©3 points, but
the market was at no time particularly
active. Certain Wall street houses con
tributed to the confidence of smaller longs
by continuing to buy with a liberal hand.
The speculative public at large also seem
ed inclined to buy, when trading at all.
The upward movement in prices was ar
rested by light selling for foreign and
Southern accounts and by realizing by
some of the smaller bulls in the local
market and a few outsiders, who,consid
ered the market to be oversold. In the
afternoon the scalping fraternity had the
market mostly to themselves; but were
afraid to sell, although inclined to look for
some reaction to follow what they claim Is
probable in the way of a liquidation move
ment. The market was finally quiet and
steady, 3 points lower to 2 points higher.

spot cotton. The opening here was 1 to 2
points higher, and the situation unchang
ed from yesterday, with the exception of
the greater influence the adverse weather
conditions had upon the market. Port rc
oelpts estimated 32,000 bales, against 32,010
bales last year. While the tendency was
upward, there was little change in quota
tions, and the market became extremely
dull. The Wall street crowd were the best
buyers.
New York, Jan. 13.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say of cotton: "The extreme dull
ness of the market has contrasted strong
ly with the activity of the past few days.
Recent buyers appear to have accumulat
ed ali they wish to carry, and Liverpool
continues selling here. There Is a slight
evidence of increasing receipts during the
coming week.”

New York, Jan. 13.—Stocks again mnda
further progress upward to-day and in
some ca-es the advances were consider
able. Transactions in stocks were over
1,060,000, making the third 1,000,0tt0-share
day tins w. k, while on the other two days
trading was but little short of the 1,000,000
stiare mark.
Transactions so far this week have ex
ceeded those of any similar period in the
exchange's hi lory. London, in
the early trading, was a pur
chaser, but subsequently the pre
ponderance of liie arbitrage deal
ings was sales. There was an hour’s de
lay in transmission of cables, and this
largely restricted the foreign transactions.
Commission houses and traders wore hot It
purchasers In the general list.
Interest frequently tluetuated from one
stock to another, and when any stock
started upward n following continued the
’ rh* reduction In the Boatlng supply
In the prime division paying stocks and
their attendant higher level led to renewed
Interest in the lower triced stocks.
There was a large demand for the stnn
nrd stocks, the Grangers and New York
Central leading. Burlington, Rock Inland
and St. Paul made the best prices in years.
Burlington made an extreme gain of 264.
on expectation that the December state
ment would be very favorable. This state
ment, however, is not due for two weeks
yet.
The greatest rise of the day was mads
by New York Air Brake, lrt points, while
Rennsslaer and Saratoga was a good sec
ond, with 6 points’ advance. The confident
assertion that Brooklyn Transit had ac
quired control of the Nassau Electric Rail
way resulted In an extreme gain of 534 for
Brooklyn Transit, most of which It re
tained. Manhattan, on further reports re
garding electric equipment, advanced over
2 points. Sugar rose 3 points on the report
that anew trust was to be formed, taking
in that company and a number of the In
dependent refineries, but a denial of the
rumor as far as it concerned some of the
interests mentioned, resulted in a partial
reaction. In tho afternoon the speculative
leaders became dull for awhile, but a re
sumption of enormous purchases In the
Pacifies was accompanied by an Increase
of business in the rest of the list. Profit
taking toward the end rendered some
stocks decidedly weak, while generally a
good tone prevailed.
Bond prices generally moved upward,
with some usually neglected shares figur
ing prominently In the market. Total
sales were *4.650,000.
United States new 4s coupon advanced
