HINTS TO \ DUNG HOUsE-K EEPERS
After the regular fall cleaning is
done, you will want to polish up youi
furniture. Bather than use furniture
polishes, you will get more satisfaction
if you willawash off the articles you
wish to clean with g sponge dipped in
cold water; then rub dry with a soft
flannel cloth, after which polish with a
little linseed oil mot boiled) on a rag,
rubbing off well afterward with a soft
cloth. The white spots caused by
dropping cologne may be removed BY
touching them with cloth wet with
cologne or alcohol and immediately
after with the linseed oil We would
advise you not to clean all your furni-
ture at once, and so tire yourself out,
but to do one or two pieces each dav
1t is very iabOriOus work, and unless
you limit yourselves (that is if YOU
undertake TO do it without help) YOU
will be tempted to do more than you
can accomplish well, and more than
your strength will permit ana you
have no more right 10 waste your
strength tnan your substance.
Ifyour window panes have stubborn
spots Of paint on them which annoy
you, and which you have not been able
to remove, take a nickel penny, lay it
flat on the glass, and rub the offending
spots; and they will quickly disappear
If the glass is much spotted, this too
cah be done gradually A few mo-
ments each morning devoted to this
purpose will soon leave your windows
clear and bright.

A BUTTER PRoDUCING TREE.-A
tree called the butter mt tree is found
on the banks of the Niger, in Africa.
From it excellent butter is obtained
The fruit somewhat resembles the
Spanish olive. The kernel of the
fruit is boiled, and the butter thus OBJ
tanned is said to be whittier, firmer, and
OF richer flavor than is that from a
cow, besides which it will keep a year
without salt.

raw. OF stock Fluctuations,

Robert Giffen, in his new work on Stock Ex-
change Securities" which is highly commended
by the London Times and Spectator, brings for
ward some laws" controlling the fluctuations
of stocks. Dull or hard times push up the
prices of first-elass etocks; investment stocks
tend to fall when the business improves and the
demand for capital increases; prices move in
cycles. rising for period and then falling for
{. period; under the com petition Of capital for
Investments prices of t1rst-class stocks tend to-
ward permanently higher level; interest tends
to lessen; the very best securities, like govern

are some of the occurrences Mr.. Giffen has OBJ
served in the movements of long periods Of
years and which he supports by good deal OF
argument and evidence.

GENERAL. REMARKS-The weather was
bright and COOL all that could be desired for
out door business.
Tbe general market continues dull. remarka-
bly, and oppressively So considering the time
of the year. December shows no Improvement
over November and all the bright visions we
have INDUCED in of O business re-awakening
have thus far proved to be but " idle dreams. "
But we are content to wait little longer for the
good time that has been so long coming.
In our great heecy staple there has been only
a fair business, the sales footing up 960o bales.
The market was strong throughout the day. the
better qualities exhibiting an Improvement OF
&c, but there was no perceptible change In
average lists from yesterdays quotations.
During the week there has been an advance
of sc in the price of lower grades OF cotton and
hc in Low Middlings and the higher grades
During the same period New York reports
show an Improvement ia that market OF % to "a
points in futures. while Liverpool quotations
are lied higher than last Friday.
The receipts of cotton at this port during the
week amount to 50 20t bales, against 54592 for
the same week last year: net receipts at this
port since September 1, 446,s5o bales, against
493, Isl for the same time last year.
The supply of -four is large, and the general
tone of the market is dull and easy. Some
round sales were made holders, in some in
stances, letting go their grip for the nonce anc
making slight concessions to the demands Of
buyers.
For pork the ruling prices are about the same
as those Of last week. There is firm feeling
| In this article, and receivers are asking an ad
vance Of Is cents on yesterdays prices.
The receipts of sugar continue small, only 81
hhds coming in to-day sales 56a. The market
is steady and firm. Stock in sheds 1880. agains
$3.50 same time last year.
For particulars of markets see regular report

influences that st ffeneG UP holders. Llyerpoo
was firm and futures at New York were better
and added to these there was good demand
