Heretofore the correspon dence that has passed between ua lias been delivered by band. This letter, however, was handed to the news papers and published by them before its receipt by me and without giving me the slightest opportunity to make any reply in the same issue in which the other letters were published. As to what motive actuated you in hand ling this letter us you have, I will leave it to the publie and any fa>. minded person to Judge. "Have answered your letters as promptly and respectfully us personal and official conduct, would permit. You have taken six days to answer my let ter to you of January 22. 1915, and six or seven days to answer my letter or January 28. 1915 to you. For what mo tive you had in delaying your replies, I leave that to the ublle and any fair minded person to Judge.

Greater . Pressure to Fill Order Than They Have Been for 40 Years. (By Aworlatrd Pirn.) NEW YORK. Feb.. 5.?Cotton lias burn more or' less Irregular during the past week, but the undertone has been generally steady, and pri?es have shown an advancing tendency with Octol er contracts selling up to 9.40 or ni out 27 points above the low level reached at the end of last month. Reactions occurred during today's ses;,Ion and sentiment at the close of the week was rather nervous and un settled, owing to apprehensions thnt recent war developments might result ir chocking the export movement. Advances earlier In the week re flected an improved trade demand, ac companied by reports of increasing actlylty. among the domestic mills, while there also was rehuying by old longs or covering by shorts. The failure of the news to indicate In creased pressure of spot cotton, or of Southern hedge selling . to develop bcro on any Important scale, was con sidered a disappointment from a bear ish or reactionary standpoint. The factors most emphasised around the ring, however, were snot houses buying, continued firmness of i Southern spot markets, and failure of I recent advances to attract any large shipments of cotton here for contract 1 delivery. Relative firmness in Liver pool apparently created little buying bower here, owing to expectations of li wider difference between the two markets, partly as a result of restric tions on arbitrage business from this' side after the new cotton futures ^bll^ goes into effect. Reports that Russian and Gorman ! buyers were withdrawing from the. ! market probably encouraged some of the selling on advances. ? I: .v. Admiralty's Proclamation Causes i - v.
