Course of the Cotton Market.
Now York RulIetIn.

There has been rather more spirit and
interest displayed on this market during
the past week, and not only was the
downward tendency of prices checked,
but a reaction took place which brought
values up considerably on the speculative
line, and especially for early maturing
engagements. Throughout, however,
there has been a noticeable absence o
what could he called a healthy, buoyant
tone; no really new general point Of a
stimulating character was developed, and
the whole base of the improvement
TO found in well executed manipula-
ton. 1t had become patent TO certain
operators that buyers on English account
were "short" pretty largely on the
"Other side," and dependent mainly for
supplies to be picked up here to meet
their engagements, and it was resolved TO
give them little twist. First working
Liverpool into responsive condition, the
programme was commenced and appa-
ren:Iy carried out successfully, the cul-
mination being found in the purchase by
shippers of some ten thousand bales or
more of short notices" at 4 l1-l6c. and
a fraction better. After this matters
ouieted down at once, and the tone has
since been more or less feverish, but APP
parently lacking elements of positive
strength. Some few hints Of prospect
i've corner have been thrown out, but
such an event, from present appearances,
is rather doubtful. During the recent
advance, not only large number of the
small fry, but some Of the principal ope
rators covered freely, and the existing
" short" interest is thought TO be too
light to warrant any serious attempt at
a squeeze. General influences shown
since our last have not been encouraging
to sellers, and though the antipathy TO
selling on the ruling line Of prices re-
mains, we find a goOdly portion OF the
trade still clngiDg to the idea that there
il nothing to prevent cotton going lower,
and fair proportion say much lower.
Our home consumption does not increase
TO the extent il should at tins season.
the advices from Manchester by mail
lust at hand have all shown a more or
less discouraging tone, the crop accounts
thus far have continued as favorable as
could be wished, and the speculative ele--
ment on the market grows smaller and
affords less support than heretofore. Op-
posing arguments are few, and the only
operators Just now hopeful of an upward
turn. are tho-e who can give no reason
for their expectation other than that they
"f, el il in their bones" A sort of skel-
eton chance, probably. The first bale OF
new cotton from Texas was sold OF. Fri
day, at twenty-one cents.

f'men generally have the heft O. the work

do for little SPELL
"But l have gathered up and burned
everything 1 can fnd," was the hopeless
answer.
"Look at yon chip-yard just a-fomin'
with the incest kind O chips" he yelled
out.
"Ihave been burning them so long as
could find any worth gathering" said
| Becky.
'Ive no time to fool away awaitin' on
| cally, whinin' wimmin when the harvest
is as yaller as gold an hired men await
in fur me to lead out" said Jack, rs he
strobe off nearly bursting with impor-
tance.
And this morning, too, sha sat a few
minutes on the porch with mist of tears
dimming her eyes, but only for a few
moments Jack needed another castiga-
tiOn. Should she give it to him Fright
before all those hired men, too?
They were to have a boiled dinner
that day-pork and vegetables, whole
potful, and Becky knew just how to cook
such a dinner, and knew how much
husband Jack delighted in such formida-
dished on four or five plates and tur-
reens She scratched round like mother
hen, and got little basket of chips and
started fire under the pot. Before it
quite began to boil the transient little
blaze wavered and grew shorter, and
licked out its feeble bluish-gray tongue
less and less, and then it whispered, and
died down and went out in smoke, and
there hung the laden pot full Of dead
hopes and no dinner.
Cold baked beans, and pie, and pud-
ding, and bread and butter, fianked the
tureens and plates that were steeming
with the bounteous repast. Jack began
to serve the plates. The meat wouldn't
hold still to be cut, and the vegetables
slipped and bobbed about, and were as
hard as when they came out OF the
ground. Everything was raw, merely
warmed a little on the outside. Then
again the husband gave vent to his
modification by using language border
ing on the profane.
Becky said never a word. She waited i
On the table and talked to the men
about their wives and children, and was
calm and smiling and gracious. There |
was no look of cunning in her tace-she |
was a lady who scorned to do anything |
bold, or course, or rude. She was driven
to this artifce in self-defence; she did |
not want to humiliate her husband, but
to make him see that the time had come
for definite action.
That afternoon boy hauled load of
wood and cut it at the kitchen door.
That fall workman built wood house
for Jack Punderson. A nice summer
kitchen and wash-hOuse were attached to
it and loft was over head, good place
to hang clothes to dry during wet spell,
or in cold winter weather, and capital
place to keep the wheel,
and reel and swifts. With that wood
house standing there Jack had no excuse
for not having good wood, and kindlingss,
and chips and shavings on hand at all
seasons. And with the example and in
fuence of that energetic little vile be-
fore him and about him all the time ANY
1ne can see that there is good deal of
outcome and manliness in that big broad
shouldered man, Jack Punderson.-Ohio

Hot as BIazes in the Philadelphia Mint

A Philadelphia dispatch says: ain
the melters' department OF the United
States mint in Philadelphia, for the last
four weeks, the mercury has ranged from
1909 to 1852, with an occasional dash up
to 1852. In the rolling room of the
coiner's department it has averaged from
1902 to 1100 TO 1902. Experienced men
only can be employed; hence substitu-
tion is impossible, and many of the
workmen have fallen at their posts.
Every night they go home completely
exhausted. Most of the men have been
employed in the mint from fifteen to
forty years, and they all say that this is
the hottest season in the history of the
mint. Notwithstanding this great hea.
the coinage has kept up to the average
of $500, 900 to $3.50, 900 month.
