\ strnnger with no guile in his face
nnd no ovcrcoat on his shoulders, wan
dercd into Il clothing store in Newport,
the other day, and asked if he could be
fitted with spring overcoat. The pro-
prctcr promptly answered in the affirma-
tive. .'You speak very positively, re-
piled the stranger. II nm bigger than
you take me for" The store-keeper was
still confident that he had coats that
would answer. Il am IL pretty heavy
man, said the stranger. II will bet you
81 that you can't guess my weight into
100 pounds" The man was not particu-
larly large, and this astounding chnllengc
entirely diverted the seller of clothing
from the ordinary course of his business.
He took the wager, named his guess
about lGO pounds-thc money was put
up in the hands of third party, and all
started off for pnir of scnlcs, and the
stranger balanced 29Opounds of weights.
The store man looked sad and puzzled.
With smile that was child-like and
bland, the stranger took his money and
walked of without saying anything more
about the overcont. 1t has since been
learned that this man wears lead jacket,
and has been makingan honest living by
playing his scurvy trick ON unsuspect-
ing dealers in clothing. He came from,
Connecticut.

Quotations, 6

The market opened under the restrictiv,
daduence of inclement, dark and rain,
weather, and up to noon the sales were con
Gined to about 1000 bales after which thu
movement became more animated, and thu
entire business summed up the fair amoun
noted above.
Good staple kinds and the higher grades
being in fair request and limited supply COM
g11anded very full prices, and other descrip-
tons were steady at previous rates, but unde-
sirable lists could not have been forced of
unless at some concessions. The market was
S1nfavorably affected by the course of foreign
exchange, which, in sympathy with the de-
cline in bills at New York, ruled easier. while
there was a further improvement in gold, the
cause being the same as that alleged yeSter-
day.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning at Jag,
600 bales, embracing 80, 900 for Liverpool, 81
600 for Havre, 5000 for Spain, 1000 for the
Mediterranean, 1000 for Bremen, $4,000 for
the North Sea and 5000 bales for the North,
which, when deducted from the stock on hand
by our running statement yesterday evening
3eaves al, 800 bales to represent the quantity
at the landing and in presses unsoll or await
ing orders.
