Butter, Cheese' and F.sci Conditions in tbe market for l#alry Produce sliowc<l no change. Eggs were still.the leading feature, being very thin, with receipts insni/i- clent for current requirements. The growing scarcity in this department makes it probable that the market. will go higher, despite the fact that receivers are averse to advancing prices at this season of tbe year. Butter was rather dull, as the "prevailing high prices caused many retailers to limit their pur- chases. The receipts were light, however, and the supply of floe table goods cleaned up readily. Cheese continued to strengthen.' all descriptions of frcsb local make being quoted firm instead of steady, as on tbe preceding day. ri V \ The only * transaction on the . Exchange, was - a sale of 20 cases of selected Eggs at 35c. Receipts were 15.500 * lbs Butter, 1000 lbs Cbeesc and 414 cases Eggs.

Xpw York Cotton Market NEW YOItK. Jan. "4.—There ig a bis short Interest here in the March and May options by spot dealers and large professional traders, made against purchases /at New Orleans and Liver- pool eume time ago on the difference In the character of the cotton contract aud the supponl- tlon that this would be made the dumping ground for all the low grade stuff. As a matter of fact there is le6s than 20.000 bales out of tbe 125.0U0 In licensed warehouses here of certified cotton, which ii of Inferior quality or uont for ordinary splunlng purposes. Should anything happen to revive bullish 'activity great difficulty would be experienced In these shorts covering, except at a considerable loss. The New Orleans bears keep selling cotton sbort here and have been doing everything they could to resist tbe recent advancing tendency of the market, but trade conditions and tbe inherent strength of the rpot situation are altogether against them, as well as the local technical upeculatlve position. There Is really little /short Interest left In the market on which to continue bullish manipula- tions, and after this has been eliminated prices tuay go lower. Options— Open. Hijrh. Low. Close.

Wben the Southern Railway •tks for money for new equipment It meuns building tracks, not through arid wastes, but past fields teeming with products that must nnd a market nnd to coruuiunities thriving with new industries, producing added and euormous tonnage. Under normal money conditions these Lappenlngs would be balled with satisfaction. As It if. each new demand Is a signal for 10-poiut drops In the particular railroad wblch make* the request. Nevertheless, ibe country is very rii-h. It will crndnally work out of the dilemma. The. enormous blockades Ht termtTials. tying up vaft nmounU of money In products held from their maiket. will be straightened out and the fund* turned into u*e sgain.

It fnu^t be borDe in mind, however, that the ten- decy of long-sustained pressure Is to produce numbness, and after its protracted re»traiDt under the money strain expectation of immediate resiliency is unwarranted. Tbe treasury with- drawals are etill ahead PDd a boom in stocks might arouse paternal approval. Then, too, the continuous announcement* of future riilroad re- oulremccts day by day. accompanied by plans offering to absorb all the money in sight and tnu^h more, havp had a sobering effect. Pending Investigation* and new attacks have also their Infiuenrp. Allof these thinge probably enter into tbe deliberations of those leader* who are sup- posed to be able to condnct a *uccc*sfi!l bull campaign. #nd the subject Is evidently being re- garded by them an « matter needing the utmost deliberation in its aecompliKbment.

As a direct result of the recent heavy Importa-tions of Western stock, tlie market for domesticChickens was weak yesterday and prices fornearly all descriptions were lower.

Butter, Cheese' and F.sciConditions in tbe market for l#alry Produce

sliowc<l no change. Eggs were still.the leadingfeature, being very thin, with receipts insni/i-clent for current requirements. The growingscarcity in this department makes it probablethat the market. will go higher, despite the factthat receivers are averse to advancing prices atthis season of tbe year.

Butter was rather dull, as the "prevailing highprices caused many retailers to limit their pur-chases. The receipts were light, however, andthe supply of floe table goods cleaned up readily.

Cheese continued to strengthen.' all descriptionsof frcsb local make being quoted firm instead ofsteady, as on tbe preceding day. ri V \
