Market —Slight Rally In the

(Associated Press.
New Yoyk. Jan. 26.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 1 to
4 points on all months except April,
which was 3 points lower and during
the early trading sold 3 to 6 points net
higher on the active months as a result
of covering by scattering shorts, buying
by trade interests and a little support
from prominent bull brokers.
Shortly after the opening the market
eased off to last night's closing prices
under a renewal of scattering liquida
tion and more aggressive selling by local
bears.
After showing a net loss of 1 to 3
rolnts during the middle of the morn
ng.the market became very quiet and
rallied slightly on trade buying, prices
at midday ruling a point or two above
the closing figures of last night.

New Orleans, La. Jan. 26.—Cotton,
tures opened steady, unchanged to 2
points up compared with yesterday’s
close. Cables were about as expected.
Immediately after the call the market
was inclined to do better on reports
from Fall River that mills there had
voted not to curtail as recommended
by the Arkwright club of Boston. The
more active months stood 3 points up on
buying based on this feature, but scalp
ing longs were eager for profits and
thteir heavy offerings caused the mar
ket to sag 3 to 5 points. At the end of
the first* half hour of business prices
were 1 to 2 points under yesterday s
final quotations.
Torvard the middle of the morning of
ferings increased on cable messages
frolu Liverpool, stating that the produc
tion of yarns was increasing and was
in danger of exceeding the capacity of
the looms, .
In thu afternoon session the market was
inactive. At 2 o'clock prices were 1 to 2
points over yesterday's close.
The market closed dull. I point up to

HIDE MARKET VERY DULL
While there was nothing of a very
rushing nature, business in the local
produce markets this morning opened
up with a very good trade, especially
in staples. Potatoes, onions and fruits
are experiencing a very satisfactory
movement and it only lacks a light
rain to put the seed division on the
hum. The dampness of the air and re
ports of light rains In and about this
vicinity last night, put commission
men this morning in very good spirits
and has tended to put the consumer
in the humor to buy.
Texas produce is not as plentiful as
it was last week, although there is
about enough green stuff to supply the
demand. Brownsville cabbage is in
stock, but the grade Is hardly in the
choice class. A very limited amount
of cauliflower Is coming in and that
market Is very firm on the recent ad
vance of yesterday. Mexico is keeping
the wax bean stock pretty well sup
plied. California carrots, beats, turnips
and head lettuce are the chief
vegetables in the market. Brownsville
is furnishing some of the choicest let
tuce.
The poultry market is practically
unchanged from yesterday. Eggs are
going lightly at 22 cents and there is
a very heavy supply on the market
There is practically nothing doing in
the turkey market. There is so little
demand for them that commission
merchants are advising their shippers
not to ship this week. It is a very
seldom thing that the commission
man advises the poultry shipper to re
sist. for tteually when he resists ship
ping. it is only to this market and he
turns to find some other market for
his products. ,
Seed potatoes are rather easy now.
although there is a very good de
mand on the International & Great
Northern, where there have been
recent rains. *
The wholesale department reported
this morning a very firm market. The
out-of-town trade this week has been
very good and city business has been
fully up to the standard. Evaporated
peaches are very firm and the market
continues to advance. The advances
are due, it is said, to an unusually
heavy demand.
Prices on Wisconsin peas have been
announced for the year and they are
from 10 to 20 per cent higher than
prices on the same grades last year.
American cream cheese is 1-2 cent
per pound higher.
Pink beans have been advanced an
additional 1-2 cent a pound.
Prices for recent California and
Cuban shipments of vegetables arc so
high that they are out of reach of
most consumers and for that reason
they are not in very heavy demand.
The Pruitt Commission company
received this morning a car of apples
and a car of potatoes.

“If El Paso people are laboring un

a Panther City cattleman who is in the

carrying 250 cattle men and stock
yards men lands here equipped with
badges boosting Fort Worth for the

"The Bovinians will bring along

Union Stock Yards. Jajt. 26. —
It seems that the local market is
proceeding in jerks. Y’esterday
the yards experienced about the
heaviest receipts of the season, which
came after two days of almost bare
markets. Today the receipt list drops
again and there is practically no stock
here to offer. A few drive-ins com
posed the total receipts, no rail ship
ments showing in the early count.
What few’ cattle that w’ere offered
sold on fully steady basis, but even
though the receipts were reduced to a
scarcity, the demand was very light.
Packers, butchers, speculators, ship
pers and feeders, all departments of
the buying line, bought to their ca
pacity Yesterday and when the early
and later trains failed to develop any
bills for this market today, the com
mission man gave a sigh of relief.
At the 3 o'aiock call the market stood
about steady with the yards cleared. The
Receipt book showed arrivals to the ex
tent of five carloads, although only one
car was offered on this market. Drive
ins were rather liberal and were offered
on the afternoon market to the extent of
58 cows, 134 calves, 82 horses and 22
hogs. Of this amount the were
shipped to Palestine, a car of calves to
Fort Worth and a car of mixed cattle to
Waring. Tex., on the Sap. This cut the
offerings for the entire day down to
very low figures and salesmen had little
trouble iin disposing of the entire sup
ply by the call.
There were very few fancy sales
made and the sales book shows consign
ments to the weigher in very light lots.
The general sales price for cows was
33.50 and $4.50 was the popular figures
in the calf division. It took the entire
day to dispose of the hogs and most of
these sales went on a $7 basis.
