In districts where any cotton remained,
to be ginned, thus leaving about 1,000
gins not reporting.
Even considering the amount of In
formation that has been disseminated
throughout the cotton world, It seems
strange that views as t(J the ultimate
size of tne crop should be so widely
divergent. And yet this condition pre
vails and it Is more than likely that
spinners who hold to their large crop
ideas have no intention of becoming
large purchasers at the moment. Or
It may be that being supplied for the
time being their spindles have no im
mediate needs. Certain it is that they
have lapsed Into a state of apathy, and
the future course of the market rath
er devolves Itself, as far as any lasting
support is concerned, out of the
strength of the spinner who will not
buy or from the equally powerful posi
tion of the farmer who will not sell.
Scalping conditions being so strongly
In evidence, we feel that the pursuit
of this course will prove more profit
able htnn investment purchases.

The opening of the British market
was all it should have been. Sales
were 12,000 bales and futures scored
an advance of 12 points.
Liverpool cabled: “We are O. K.
here, and no decline in sight unless
the American rings begin to hammer.”
Price will issue on February 6 a
private estimate of his own, giving
amount of cotton ginned from January
16. to February 1. It is needless to
add that same will be issued and made
to read In his individual interest. •

GIRL FALLS IN FIRE:
1
Little 4-Year-Old Child
Was Seriously Burned
at Her Home in This
City Last Night.
A little girl, aged 4 years, dropped
from a chair in her parents’ room in
this city about 7:30 o’clock last night,
and fell into an open grate, in which
was a blazing fire.
The screams of the unfortunate lit
tle one were heard by the mother in
an adjoining room, and she rushed
though still in a Serious condition.
There is slight chance for her re
covers'.
The eyesight or the little one, the
physician states, will he lost forever.
The unfortunate parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of a host of,
friends.
Note.—Tills story might have ap
peared in the news columns of The
Herald today it the thoughtful father
of the little girl had not bought, Just
that afternoon, a fire-fender from the
hardware establishment of Mr. R. C.
Eatman.
The fire-fender not only saved the
child from a horrible death or serious
injuries • by fire, hut it may have
saved the house from burning down.

(By Wire to Clark & Co.)
New Orleans, Feb. 2.—The opening
of the Liverpool market this morning
was decidedly irregular, due no doubt
to some heavy short covering in an
ticipation of a better tone that the
American rings were due to reflect.
Options showed an advance of from 10
to 14 points on the opening when only
due one-half of that amount, but Inter
eased off somewhat and closed about
nine points over yesterday. Spot sales
continued large, there having been
some 12,000 bales reported today at a
good advance, denoting that the excel
lent business existing heretofore con
tinues unabated.
' Manchester reported that the price
of cloths had stiffened up and that
there was an increased demand for
yarns. Futures on the opening of the
local market were steady but quiet, the
prices showing a healthy advance over
yesterday’s close, hut later the market
became nervously affected in antici
pation of the figures that were issued
by tlie government, showing the
amount of cotton to he ginned’ from
January 16 to be 250,844 hales. After
the report, there was a slight advance,
but shortly, a rumor having been
spread about that only 14,500 gins had
been heard from, caused a decidedly
weakening tendency and prices eased
off in consequence. The rumor, even
if true, was subsequently construed
not in the light of anything unfavor
able, for it was afterward learned that
out of a total of about 28,000 gins
New York bears continue to bombard
Liverpool with bear dope, but private
advices from there say the news has
little effect, with mills running over
time and cotton selling at the very
best basis ever known.
Director North issued a report esti
mating that 251,000 hales remained to
be ginned. The market advanced 12
points on the report.
Dont’ pay any attention to the re
port that the South is selling spots
on nil breaks, for It is not true.
It begins to look as if no one but
a fortune teller can forecast this mar
ket. It Is. certainly a fine field for the
student.
Private advices here from one of the
very best- posted men in Liverpool
say: "Do not go short of the summer
positions.’’
After ruling very steady during the
early session, Liverpool felt the ef
fect of selling orders from our side
and closed easy, but S UP.
They never gripe or sicken, but
cleanse and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels. This is the univer
sal verdict of the many thousands who
use DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.
These famous little pills reliev head-
ache, constipation, billlousness, Jaun
dice, torpid liver, sallow complexion,

to the rescue. She found her child in
a most frightful condition. The flames
had eaten the clothes off her back, and
her neck, face and arms were one
mass of blisters.
A physician was quickly summoned
by her mother. The wounds were
dressed, and at last reports, the un
fortunate little girl was a little better,
The fire-fenders that Eatman sells
are constructed so that it Is impossible
for a spark or piece of live coal to
fall out of the grate onto the floor.
For the protection of your children
and your home, therefore, you should
get one or more of these splendid
fire-fenders. The quality is the best
and the price is not high.
