Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 22.—Cat-
tle prices played no quotable change
Thursday, receipts being moderate
with stockers in the majority. A
fairly seasonable clearance was made
of a supply of 2300 cattle and 400
calves. In addition were 650 calves
not for market purposes.
Not more than a half dozen of
steers sold as killers, these bringing
prices that were in line with the
week's decline. Most sales were
around 6.25 to 6.75.
Nothing sold any higher but the
market has a fairly good undertone
on stockers and a steady deal was
quoted. Best steers were cashed in
at 6.80 to 7.00.
The heavy end of the cow and heifer
supply came in mixed shipments and
quality was rather common. The
market was quotably unchanged.
Receipts of calves were too small
to establish a quotable market basis.
Sales ranged from 4.50 to 8.00.
An offering of 2000 hogs at a de-
cline of 10c, the market being lower
here through sympathy with condi-
tions at outside points. Good con-
signments made 6.90 for a top, while
the bulk of the supply was cashed in
at 6.50 to 6.75.
Sheep and lambs to the number of
1100 head were purchased on an ac-
tive market at an advance of 10 to
15c over last week's close. Lambs
brought 8.15 and yearlings notched
7.10.

The upward tendency in the cotton
market continued strong Thursday,
with active months selling into new
high ground for the season, Decem-
ber touching 9.*73 in New York. Clos-
ing prices were 5 to 6 points up on
old and 4 to 7 points up on new con-
tracts in New York and 4 to 5 points
up on old and 4 to 8 points up on
new in New Orleans. Liverpool fu-
tures closed very steady, 3 1-2 to 4
points up.
Good demand for cloth and firm
yarn markets were reported in Man-
chester and the English market made
a good response to the American ad
vanCe of the day before. There were
reoorts that shorts hud fully covered
and were not buying, and many look-
ed for a reaction, but last prices were
within a few points of the best of
the day. The firm spot situation was
a chief factor in hold the market up.
The advance in Southern spot mar-
kets was general, Houston was up
1-16, making middling 8 7-16, Galves-
ton rose 1-8, bringinig middling to the
Houston level. New Orleans was
firm and 1-8 up; middling 8 1-8, while
New York gained 10 points, bringing
midling to 8.70. Liverpool was re-
vised upward; sales 6000 bales.
Receipts of cotton at Houston yes-
terday aggregated 23,881 bales,
against 19,914 bales the day before
and 14,134 bales yesterday a year
ago. Shipments were 21,667 bales.
Sales were 1031 bales spot and 6965

terdays lowest level. Today's ad-
vance, however, was not well main-
tained, the market closing unsettled at
the same as last night to 3-8@l-2c
up. Corn scored a net gain of 1-8
to 3-8c and oats of 1-4. Provisions
had an irregular finish, varying from
2 l-2c decline to 7 l-2c advance.
According to a leading authority
fanners were looking for higher prices
and could see no special incentive to
sell wheat. It was shown that
throughout the country primary re-
ceipts were running down, the total
being 800,000 bushels today as against
1,120,000 bushels a week ago. Ab-
sence of any great export busines
seemed to be chiefly responsible for
the fact that the market underwent
a series of backward swings after
touching a new high record.
Although there was considerable
selling of corn as the result of the
setback in wheat, the buying power
was amply sufficient to obsorb the of-
ferings.
There was strong evidences of for-
eign buying of oats.
Provisions at first declined, but later
the tendency was upward, owing to
strength of co n.

^Receipts of cotton for the week
(losing Thursday were 156,035 bales,
against 103,656 bales for the same
week last year. Receipts to date this
season are 2,239,558 bales, against
2,284,459 bales the same period last
year. Stocks in Houston presses and
warehouses Thursday were 185,545
bales.
New York, Jan. 22.-—Early reac-
tions were followed by a sharp ad-
vance in cotton Thursday and prices
made new high ground for the move-
ment. The close was steady at a
net gain of from 4 to 8 points.
Reactionary sentiment appeared to
be more or less general around the
ring during the early trading. Liv-
erpool was lower than due, with pri-
vate cables attributing the decline to
heavy American selling. It seemed
also that there were more Southern
selling orders in the local market,
which was taken to mean that the ad-
vance in prices had brought out freer
offerings of spot cotton.
After opening 4 to 6 points lower
the market rallied to within a point
or two of last night's closing figures
on a continuation of yesterday's late
buying movement, but soon eased off
again under realizing, selling for a
.reaction, and the talk of an easier
turn in the spot situation. This de-
cline carried prices about 7 to 9
points net lower late in the morn-
ing, but offerings tapered off below
8.95 for May contracts, making it
appear that there had been no gen-
eral weakening of Southern holders,
and the market became active and
economic resources.
NeWB agency quotes Herr Haven-
stein as saying when an. honorary de-
gree was conferred upon him by th»
University of Bohn:
"I not only hope but 1 know that
we shall be able to fight through this
^Immense struggle. In the domain
of financial and economic affairs we
are equal to every demand, however
long the war may last."

my a complete now hospital train.

KiiHslnn I^ohso* Very H«*avy.
A letter, said to have been writ-
ten to a Russian princess, a relative
of Emperor Nicholas, and published
In the Munich Post, was given out in
Berlin today by the Overseas New*
agency. Th)t> letter states that in
Russian court circles it is estimated
that the war losses of the Russian#
up to the end of November amount-
ed to 500,000 men killed and 1,300,-
000 wounded or Incapacitated by ill-
ness. Many Russian aristocrats, the
letter says, "regard the war as a ca-
lamity for Russia," and certain rela-
tives of the czar, It Is further stat-
ed, are endenvoring to break the in-
fluence of the Russian commander-
in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholas,"
According to the writer of this let-
ter, war against Germany was decid-
ed on when President Polncare and
Premier Victual of France visited
Petrograd last July 10 days beforo
the war began. This decision was
reached, it was said, after Count
Benokendorff, Russian ambassador
to Great Britain, and A. P. Isyolsky,
Russian ambassador to France, had
sent the emperor favorable reports
concerning the European political
situation.
Enemy's Offensive Continued.
The Russian offensive at Radzano-
wa, at Blezun and at Sierpec in
Northern Poland, near the border of
West Prussia, reported In the Ger-
man official bulletin Issued on Tues-
day last, appears to have been a part
or a continuation of the Russian of-
fensive already reported at the first
named place.
The Russians seem to have receiv-
ed reinforcements In this region and
to have advanced in an extended
front either directly northward to-
ward the East Prussian frontier or
toward the west. Their repulse, as
announced by the Germans, Is con-
sidered by military officials here to
have removed any present danger In
that locality.
Local experts believe that the bat-
tle of Solssons In France marked the
end of the French offensive for some
time and that the allies will wait un-
til they are stronger before resum-
ing the conflict.
