8TEVENS ft CO.'S LETTER,
ifew York, Feb. 6.—The price took a
( sudden turn today, perhaps there has
/ been a little overselling among locsl op-
- craters, but one of the main influences
' contributing to the rise today was the
announcement that a big bond Issue by
the government was a certainty and that
any denial of that fact is merely "an
official fiction" out of respect to congress,
and there was a bullish estimate at New
Orleans tomorrow, and another, some
buying by Liverpool, and the continent
and more or less covering by the local
talent. Everybody was surprised to see
that the estimate at New Orleans tomor
row w re 4,000 to 6,000 bales vs. 18.864
last week and 6,541 last year. Houston
received only 1,724 vs. 4,755 last week and
1,918 last year; 6t. Louis. 491 vs. 619, but
V Memphis received 1.041 vs. 418, and Au-
gusts. 358 vs. 190. Spot cotton here was
still dull and weak, though without quo
table change; the Southern markets
w re slow and unaltered. At the ports
today the receipts were 22,083 vs. 24.186
last week, and only *6,746 last year. Thus
far this week. 106,228 vs. 123.527 IssC week.
Liverpool declined % and closed quiet and
steady* while the spot sales th re were
10,000. In Manchester some business was
done Jn yarns at low prices, and cloths
were quiet. New Orleans advanced 6
points; New York advanced 2 points, and
though It weakened hit r on there was
a subsequent rally which carried prices
4 to 5 points above the closing quotations
of yesterday, and the final tono was firm,
with sales of 120,900. It Is still a narrow
local market, under the influenco very
largely of th receipts at the porta from
day to day. It 13 supposed that the New
York stock will lncreaso .much faster in
the near future If the market continues
weak, as spinners of this country have
already taken nearly as much cotton as
they did for the ntlro season last year.
Roughly speaking, they have taken 1,500,-
000 vs. 1,625,000 bales for the entlro sea
son last year, and 1,750,000 bales In .the
previous season. In the meantime, the
cotton goods trade h re and In England
is slow, and the s^les of spot cotton are
notoriously small at all the American
markets.

COTTON LETTER OF E. B. CUTII-
BERT & CO.
New York, Feb. 6.—(Special.)—'The spec
ulations In cotton today was 'more act
ive but irregular, and uncertain in char
acter through tre day. The market open
ed weak with sellers at last night’s prices,
and although there was some fair buy
ing for Eastern and local acclunt the
pressure to sell by tired and disgusted
holders was so great the demand was
soon supplied and prices*frtl off 3 points
•to 6.37 for March and 5.45 for May.
These prices broke all previous records
for cheapness, and as. the shorts thtn
appeared to bo the only buyers and with
the weak holders getting demoralized*
the outloo kwas exceedingly blue. But
just at this -time the semi-wee mov.
ment at thirteen leading interior towns
was announced, showing receipts of 39,-
009 bales, against 57,000 last week, and 23.-
000 last year, and 45,000 In 1892, and ship
ments of 53,000 bales, against 67,000 last
week, 29,009 last yeiir and 43,000 in 1892.
This was folilowed by the Now Orleans
receipts tomorrow, being estimated at
5,000 bales, against 18,554 last week, and
5,641 last year.
The immediate effect this market
falling off in the movement of the crop
was to checl* the bear raid which was
forming, and thereby saved tho market
from another attack whllh It would have,
in all probability, been unable to have
successfully withstood. But no rally
came until Just before tho close, when
prices advanced quickly 6 points on cov
ering of shorts by several of tho larger
bears and some bulling from Now Or
leans. The tone at tho close was firm,
with an upward tendency. Whether tliir
little spurt is the beginning of the long
expected reaction s har dto say. It will
depend entirely upon how Liverpool re
sponds to it. and tho movement of the
crop the balance of the week. The re
ceipts at the ports today were 23,083 bales
against 24,186 last week, and 67,476 last
year. Total so far for tho week, 106,228.
against 123,527 last week.
E. B. Cuthbert & Co.
THE SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, Feb. 6.—The Sun’s Cotton
Review says:
Cotton advanced 1 to 2 points, then lost
thla and declined 1 'to 2 points, but re
gained thin and advanced 4 to 5 points,
and closed firm with sales of 107,900
bales.
Liverpool declined %al point, but closed
qultft and steady, tho spot sales there
were 10,000 bales at unchanged quotations.
In Manchester, cloths were quiet; some
business wan done In yams at low pricos.
Now Orleans advanced 1 point, but lost
this and declined 1 point, only to regain
this and and rise 5 points. Port receipts
*>41«t8 thV
day last week, and 6,766 last year; thus-
far this week,106,228, against 123,527 thus
far this week. Spot cotton hero was dull
and weal;, but without quotable change.
Sales of 70 bales for spinning. Tho South
ern spot markets were quiet and unchang
ed. Exports from tho ports, 6,156 to
Groat Britain and 5,860 to the conti
nent. These were not complete returns.
American spinners have taken 1,500,000
bales thus far this season, against 1,-
G25.000 for the entire season* last year,
nnd 1,750,000 in tho previous year. New
Orleans receipts tomorrow aro estimated
at 4,000 to 6,000, against 18,564 last Thurs
day, and 5,541 last year. Houston receiv
ed today 1,724, against 4,755 this day last
week and 1,918 last year; St. Louis, 491,
against 519 last year; Memphis, 1,0-U.
against 413, and Augusta 356, against 199.
One of tho more interesting factors to
day was the estimate of receipts at Now
Orleans tomorrow. That • was bullish
enough to make a fow of the local shorts
cover. Another Interesting matter fvas
a report that a large bond issue Is noty
assured beyond doubt. The* ccml-wcekly
New OrleJns report shows liberal re
ceipts, but also very liberal shipments.
As for the Liverpool and Manchester
advices, even a chronic optimist could
find little In them to encourage him. Tho
diminution In receipts at Bomo points In
the South is attributed by some to bad
weather. But thero Is no disposition to
trado heavily on either side of the mar
ket, and accordingly the transactions nee
r i-p^ndlnc*-
ly naarrow. It Is stated that some of
the bulls at New Orleans are gottln?
tired and are dropping out from day to
day, but It also seems to be true that
some of the bulls are more idtcrmlncd
ha neve to stay

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Chicago, Fob. 6.—Wheat was in debt to
corn for all the strength lr showed to
day. On two occasions the first .during
the morning, and the second right at tho
close, the sympathy of the fin , with the
coarso grain was distinctly. manifest.
When the early advance in the latter
was checked, wheat fell away to almost
the. position It held at the opening, and
displayed but little. inclination to rally
from that tlm until the final bulge took
place. The news in wheat was not very
good. There was a resurrected Item
touching damage to the Argentine crop,
which was given wide publicity a month
ago, but before tho crowd becam aware
of the fact that It was state, they sold
out what wheat they bought on the in
formation. The New Yorkers were con
spicuous sellers at the opening, their
own market showing a d cline. May
wheat opened at 53%; sold between 53%
and 54a%; closing at the outside—?* cent
higher than yesterday/ Cash wheat was
firm and averag d about % cent higher
than yesterday.
Corn—Shorts accomplished their own
under takings In this market today.
The cold 'weather Just passed, and the
predictions of a severe cold wave In the
immediate future gave rise to th talk
of greater consumption with an apprecia
ble impression on the stacks and the
large short Interest with the light'offer
ings did tlfe rest. There was two nota-
b( bulges to prices, one during the
morning end the other withtn tho last
fifteen minutes. May com opened from
41 to 44%; sold between 43%a46%; dosing
at the top-!%a% higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was strong at the advance
of lal% over yesterday.
Oats—As a matter of course firmed with
corn, but presented no individual merit.
The closo was firm with May higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were %a%
cent higher.
Provisions—The bulk of trade In provis
ions was of a scalping order. The bulg
ing disposition of corn threwssomo firm
ness into the product, and s. stronger and
higher hog .market added legitimate
strength to the trade. The close was 20
cents higher than yesteray for May pork;
5a7% cents for May lard, and 7%al0 cents
higher for May ribs. Domestic markets
were quiet and firm.-

A Gallant Irish OfUcer Will Lead the Andy
of Madagascar's Qnoea. ,
A gallant Irish officer will lead fho
forces of tho queen of Madagascar -.-hen
tho French array
reaches tho Island
land begins tho
difficult task of
conquering tho
wnrllko Horae.
His nnino Is
Charlos St. Legor
Shervlnton, and
ho Is n colonel 111
tho Madagascar
army. Ho la mak
ing every effort to
resist thondvnnco
of the French ex
peditionary forco,
colonel 6HERVINTON. anal tlao Invaders
will without doubt receive a vory warm
reception when thoy attempt to land.
Colonel Shervlnton comes of good Irish
stock nnd of n family noted for Its largo
number of brnvo soldlors.
Ills grandfather fought In tho ponlnsu-
Inv war, his father Is a Crimean veteran,
who foil Whnt was loft of tho Forty-sixth
regiment after tho battle of Inkorinan,
ami two of his brothers lanvo died on tlao
gold. Ono of them, Colonel William
Shervlnton, fell at tho battle of Ghnlchu-
pa, In Salvador. Tho Madagascar colonel
lias scon oonstderablo service, and during
tho Basuto war In Africa, when In com-
nanud of the Capo Mounted rhlca, he had
three hones shot under him and was sev
eral times wounded. Ha was recommend
ed for the Victoria cross for gallant oan-
duot, but soon left tbo colonial army and
boenrao a soldier of fortune. s
Ho ontored the servloo of the queen of
Madagascar In 1884 and has rapidly risen
to tho highest rank In tho Malagasy army.
Ho. lias already takon n conspicuous part
In ono war In Madagascar nnd fcola con
fident that lao can liinko It very llvoly for
tho French when hostilities begin. Al
though soldiering Is hts business, ho pro
fesses to ho vory doslrous of penoo mid do-
olares that ho will resign his position it
such an act will bring about a pcaeo that
la honornblo to the quocn.
Colonel Shervlnton Is 43 years of ago
and Is as devoted to athletics os ho Is to
war. He Is married anal resides with Ills
family In 11 pretty brlok villa at Tnnnnn-
rlvo, tho capital. As fnr back as 1(143 tho
French attempted to ooraquor Madagascar,
but tbo deadly climato nnd tho natlvo
armies defeated them. Tho nntlvos are
now well drilled mid well armed ami will
glvo Frunco a good argument
should condemn tho conduot of the mis
sionaries. Thlsactlon brought down upon
his head tho wrath of tlm British Metho-
dlsts.nnd haa promptly rcslgncal his position
as a minister. His fast frlond, Archdea
con Farrar, asked him to Join tho Church
of England ami hcroum his assistant at
Westminster, but ho preferred to east his
lot with tbo American Methodist Episco
pal church.
When a student In Dublin, ho took a
leading part every other Saturday night
in bringing together ntaDublinclub men
of all religious, political and soolnl views.
Tlieso men harmoniously discussed their
various bollofs, and tho benefit derived by
nil led Dr. Lnnn to wonder why Protes
tant Christians could not bo brought to-
gothor in somo sneb manner, lio carried
out the idrn two years ago by holding tho
first Grindclwald conference, which was
attended by tlao bishop of Worcostor ami
nanny prominent Protestants of different
denominations. Tlaelr dlooasslons had a
ronmrkablo effect In Boftenlng tho asperi
ties of eocleslastloal polemics, and tho
conferenco aoonloil n true stoptownrd a re
union of Protestant Christendom. Tho
conforenco has boon more ami more suc
cessful each year, and Dr. Lunn's visit to
this oountry Is for the purpose of Interest
ing Amorlosns I11 tho idea.

Tho Kov. Dr. Ileury Lunn and His Famous
Grlmlctnnlil Conference:.
Tho Rov. Dr. Henry Bunn, tho noted
English ovangollst nnd missionary who Is
now In this country, Is known tho world
over ns tho mlvncatn of Christian unity.
Ho Is also well known us tho orlglmitor of
tho Urlmlelwald conferences In Switzer
land. Dr. Lunn was horn In 1889. Ho
attended n theological collogo ami was
gruduntod from Trinity collcgo, Dublin, tn
arts, modlolno und surgery. At tho ago

of 37 ho became a medical missionary In
India and worked thero until ropootod at
tacks of fovor demonstrated that ho coulil
not stand tho climato. During his rosl-
dnneo In India ho became convinced that
tho system of missionary work carried on
by tho Amorlcan Mothodlsts, woo far hot
ter than that of tho English Mothodlsts
and ha did not besltato to say so. Tho re
sult was that- ho bccamo vary unpopular
among British Mothodlstfo ami they de
manded an Investigation. A commlUco
was appointed for tho purpose, nnd It
promptly conilomncd tho British system.
Persistent fovers dravo Dr. Lunn from
Indio, and upon Ills return to England ho
bccamo chaplain of tho Polytoolmla Insti
tution, a sort of refuge ami school for tho
poor boys of London. Tho notion of tho
missionary congress In India In refusing
to condoinn tho statu regulation of vice
aroused bis righteous Indignation, and ho
