That Broker Pane.

To set all controversy at rest, it may
be stated that that pane of glass in the
door of the county clerks Office was
not broken by any reporter directly,
but by.a bootblack, who demanded
fifty cents for blacking the Appeal
mans moccasins. The gamin was
heard to rOmark after recovering fsom
the effects Of his erial fight, that he
had rather be kicked by a pile-drivor
than . number fourteen boot. He has
since made an assignment, owing to
the failure Of the reporter to pay the
price demanded.

EXAMINER OFFICE. December 20
The markets have been quiet to-day, all
quotations remaining unchanged
throughout. Holiday lines are having Il
good business, which Will continue the
remainder of the week, but it is super
| tiuOus to go into details where every
thing is nominal. 1t must not be in
ferred, however, simply because trans
actions are inactive, that the market is
weak, for prices are firm. Other Seasons
we have noticed that, when business was
slack, prices frequently weakened and
sought level which absolutely forced
transactions, but this season no such
rule obtains. Dealers carry full stocks,
retain legitimate margins and accommo-
date whatever business is shown, but
they are not cutting down prices and
invoking ruinous competition to
establish "a transient and exhaust
ing activity. As d result this
seasons business has been unusually
satisfactory, and will carry the com
munity over into the new year in better
shape than for some time previous. 1T
is striking evidence OF the well-known
business precept that steady, legitimate
trade is much better than an active one
which has undertaking and ilegitI-
mate competition for its sole basis.

Commercial Para-raph..

The splnners of Fall River andLowell,
Mass, are preparing to demand an in
crease of 10 per cent i'll wages-which of
course means more strikes, lock-outs,
etc.
"A standard Liverpool authority, in
discussing the cotton problem, says:
The question is how far do present
prices discount the unfayorable aspect
of the crop? Our impression is that
there is not much room for further rise
of u legitimate kind, even with crop of
6,OOO,00O; the price of the spring crop is
already Sad to 91sd, which is equal to
I'd for the autumn months, and this is a
high price for cotton, with the almost
certainty of much larger crop to fol-
low; but if the crop falls short of 6,0O0,-
900 we should think that American spec
ulatlon, which Is 50 rampant this year,
would carry prices still higher There
is the additional risk of attempted ma
nipulation of the market, should the
supply be so light as to leave stocks in
the autumn light
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says Notwithstanding the narrowing
of crop estimates, the increased con-
sumption at home and abroad, and the
low figures of 100000 bales of the ag-
rlcultural bureau, the bears continue to
move cautiously, while the bulls are be-
coming more sanguine that the final out
turn will be a very short crop, and in
fact this opinion seems to be that Of the
majority. Most of the bulls are quite
JubIlait, aud believe there will soon be
Il strc - sharp advance, while others as.
sert III the bears can and will make Il
cool il sht until the turn into the new
year. In connection with the bureau
reports, 1t must be borne in mind that
in 1874 the Chronicle estimated the crop
on December ~ at 1,3t0,OO0, and that
the crop turned out to be ), 100000"

The Old Controversy About Eating With
Knife.

a.
London Letter to New York Times.
Another lesson which they taught us, and
which they now seem to be in fair way
toward forgetting themselves, is that which
relates to the limitations upon the use of
the table-knife in eating. Until the Amer
leans had the enormity of the offense i'm
pressed upon them by English writer's, and
those whose manners were formed by the
English school, it is certain that they did
as the great mass of the Germans and
French now do; that is, they conveyed
food from the plate to the mouth by knife
or fork, whichever Glanced to be the most
convenient. At present, whoever puts a
knife into his or her mouth in eating is
looked upon in the older settled parts Of
the United States as an i'll bred person.
Judge of my surprise. when at a dinner
party composed of educated and refined
people saw them deliberately eat with
their knives. It is true that there was only
one article of food eaten in this way, that
is, the cheese, and when my curiosity led
me to inquire, found that this was the
manner in which the people here were &C.
customed to eat it. statement that has
since been confirmed to my own mind by
experience at table d'hotes and private
dinners. But what constitutes the dis
tncdon? If it is vulgar in the last degree
to put meat and vegetables into ones mouth
by means of knife, by what strange table
code can it be made out that it is not equal
" unmannerly to use knife in tbs same
way for the purpose of eating one particular
article of food? fear that this is but the
beginning of retrograde movement, and
that we shall before long, have the exclusive
provocative Of the fork swept wholly away.
