Trade was very heavy to-day
Butter and poultry are inactive, and the
market overstocked.
Oranges have advanced. Cotton is not
quite as strong as fer a few dOys past,
but prices remain unchanged. Eggs are
still in great demand at prices quoted.
The market remains bare of pecans, and
big prices would be paid for any offered.
COTTON.
The New York market this week
strengthened somewhat, end slightly
better tone was perceptble in the market.
The above feeling, while having few
surface Indications to encourage it, was
still strong enough TO cause future
values TO advance slightly up
to Thursday. In fact, little in the way
of new features tending to influence the
market either way appeared, aud In this
condition, with tendency toward in--
Quoting certain amount Of outside in
side influence into the room, values
hardened, as above noted. Foreign adj
vices this week showed little apparent
change from previous reports. In fact
the general foreign situation may be
characterized as tame The Manchester
market review of Wednesday reported
producers prices too firmly held to suit
purchasers We quote.
"Their frmness Is founded upon the
extent to which the production is Engaged
and the belief that the demand will soon
revive; also upon the lowness Of the
present prices in comparison with the
cost of production. The business OF the
last four or five months has been larger
| than has been done In any similar period
yet the margin between cotton and goods
has altered but little. TIE recent better
ment in the margin on spinning was made
at manufacturers cost"
The sales at Liverpool this week were
les S than last week by 10000 bales, The
total stock increased by $4,000 bales
while the American stock increased b.
1000 bales. Quotations were modified

What a career BARLEY Campbell has
had from the time he was kicked
about reporter in Pittsburguntilnow::
Eight years ago he was well known as
the wrighter OF hopeless plays, ana
leader OF forlorn dramatic hopes. The
production Of o. new piece from his
pen was an event which excited I'm
bounded laughter from the Thespians
who flocked in on dead head tickets
to see the first performance. Camp
bells turn to smile came about six
years ago, when My Partner achieved
distinct success st theunion Square
Theater His smile broadened into q
laugh when the Galley Slave began to
coin money for its author at the
Fourteenth Street Theater. Then
Campbell began to make money with
startling rapidity. He wrote plays,
and, acting as his own manager, clear
ed large profits. A few years ago he
had all income OF $4,000 or So, 900 q
week, and was flying from one end OF
the country to the other oking after
the affairs of his different companies.
His tall, shanbling figure, and kind,
honest face no longer excited derision
on union Square He was said then;
yto be worth $500, GOO. Now his So.
called friends are deserving him again,
since he is said to be no longer rich.

A Norwegian Farmhouse.

The first impression Of an ordinary
Norwegian farm steading is not very
favorable. A cluster of houses; small
and aged crowd arcard larger dwell
ing house. which generally looks some
what dilapidated. But this appear
ance is deceptive; for the walls being
of wood, they look old in a few years,
and become blotched and scared by
weather. The roof is of the same
material, or, in the case of the princi-
pal building, either of red tile or slab.
Sometimes the dwelling house is paint
ed white, when the effect is to be re-
lieve the sombre aspect of the group.
The walls are usually stout and thor
oughly weatherproof, planks about
four inches thick being used in their
construction These planks are placed
edgewise on one another, crossed and
countersunk at the angles, and calked
in the seams with dry moss. A skin
of thin wood Is placed over the out
side, while the interior is lined smooth
~ with boards Inside, there is: an
air OF comfort and cleanliness. A
table stands in the centre Of the chief
room. and along the wall 81 bench
runs, which serves for chairs, Of VII ch
/ there is usually a deficiency. From
pots on the floor ivy is sometimes
trained upward to the roof. giving
the room festive and refreshing
look. Not unfrequently the worthy
farmer is proud to have the dresses OF
his daughters hung in conspicuous
positions in order that SWANS who
call may see that the damsels are well
provided with. garments in case, OF d
matrimo nial alliance. The. cowhouses
are generally an improvement. on
those usually seen in England md
Scotland. The building is larger:
and more space is allotted to each
animal, while q clean wooden floor is
ordinarily beneath the cattle. Little
or no bedding is given. The level Of
the cowhouse is in most cases raised
high enough to allow OF q space be-
meath. into which the refuse is regular
