THE MANCHESTER MARKET.
nANCHEsTER, Oct, fac Guardian in

TIE sales yesterday were extremely
scsntg for Tuesday. No department did
an average business, and INQUIRY Was
slack. China merchants were looking
around the market, eeemirgly preparing
for Iext seasons business, but they
sre apparently deferred from sc!usl oper-
atiors by the prices ssked, which were
somewhat higher than those Of last ees-
son. The sales OF Caina were therefore
triiing and had extremely little p actic-
able business. There were small miscel-
laDeous sales for minor foreign and home
markets Manufacturers insisted
on previous rates or slight
further advance, but they
did not seem anxious to sell much In view
OF Improbable margins and tie high
prices OF many kinds Of yarns. Far.

production Of cloth. Yarn was idle, es-
pecislly export yarn. Cloth WAS exceed
Ing inactive. Business Of importance
WAS scarce. The distributing markets
seem not to be moved By less production
showing that the present supplies sre am

were inactive, though firm and sometimes
rather desrer. There WAS come business
In heavy goods, where sellers were easy,
but then were no large transactions.

There appears to be slight let up IN
the wholesale dry goods trade in Fort
Worth, attributable merely to the usual
fluctuations in business Of the country.
All other lines of jobbers are doing heavy
business, there appearing to be greater
weight to the ordors coming in than has
hitherto been observed, denoting en- in
crease of confidence in provincial dealers
in the stability Of existing custom.
The course being pursued by wheat
buyers in Fort Worth IS compared with
those of cotton, is full Of interest
to those farmers who market
their products in Fort Worth. While the
cotton quotations are f1ctuating with
every transient whisper over the wires
from manufacturing centers, the wheat
market varies bu. slightly, notwithstand-
ing unpr, cedented uphesvals at the
northern and eastern trading points.
When wheat was depressed in Cnicsgo,
the Fort Worth mills were
paving better prices than
the northern farmers were receiving;
now that whest in the north has taken a
big Jump, this market is but Slightly
affected by it; from which 1t may be seen
that Texas buyers are law unto them
selves; that they are independent Of
northern spectators; that they are
able and will pay good prices
for sll that is marketed with
them, although not willing TO meet
the unreasonable aud Improbable figures
that hsye been brought out in the north
by sp5culh!0ra, By whom Texas buyers
sre not IN any way Affected. On the
other hsRd, c0:I Is unstable. TIE

The Execution OF Criminals.

Suppose all the irreclaimable con.
victs III London executed in silence,
secretly with no possibility of pain,
would the announcement of the fact
create half repugnance which the exc
cution OF one criminal does now? Cap
ital punishment is just; but something
to make the judge and jurymen reflect,
to make him fear for his own RESPONSE
bIlity, to make him search his con-
science, in theological phrase, is an in.
dispensable check; and In abolishing
pain, and the knowledge of details and
personal action in executions, we, To
the extent of human power, take that
check away.
1t is foolish to assert that this would
not be the case, or that men would be
equally moved by the bare record OF
the number of deaths. Who is moved
by the registrar generals weekly re-
turn, or the return of deaths in a con-
vict prison? Do you suppose that Mary
Tudor's martyrs, dying invisible, with.
out pain, without report save that they
were dead, would have shocked Lon
don into Professionalism? They woulc
have passed, as even now convicts SEN
fenced to labor for life pass, to theil
doom unheeded, except by the few who
make their deStines study.

Ldfe's Various Ways.

Although the lamplighter is not lis
tinrnixhad hy thz zfnlfnanS Sfty Of his S =
airy, the roll call OF his profession can
boast OF some distinguished names.
Politicians once great In ward clubs.
statesmen whose fame had been allied
for brief space with possible nomi-
nation for the Legislature OF the Board
of Supervisors, lnancierS whose bril-
liant talents had lulled the suspicious
of a boarding house through all the sta
ges of falling stock market, are TO be
found bearing the emblematic torch
for $40 month. The history OF their
profession is not without a touch of
the pathetic, too.
Some time ago complaint was made
of an aged and rather infirm lamp
lighter. He had been found sitting on
the horseback in front of fine resi-
dence in the northwest of the city.
1t was two hours past sunset, and
only ten lamps on his route were lighted.
The old mans face was buried in his
hands, and his torch lay on the side.
walk near where it had fallen.
a hawk-eyed applicant for the lnfrm
lamplighter's position had reported his
condition, and the inference was that
the old man had fallen victim to the
DetE glass; lie WAS Cdlicu Ou " cAPAhiu-
He had nothing to say.
-'Were you drunk?" he was asked.
NO"
"Then what were you doing in front
of that house?"
''I was thinking of the days when 1t
was mine?" and the tears filled the old
mans eyes, and his aged frame shook
with emotion.
He told the truth. He was once the
afliuent master of the splendid estab-
lishment, but. like many another old
Californian, he lived long enough to
experience the extremes of wealth and
poverty.
The sight OF the old home. lighted
and full of life and gayety, as when be
had lived there in the tide of his pros
perity, had chained the old man and
made him forget that he was lamp.
lighter.
The applicant for the old man:
place did not get it, and the more ac'
/ tive guardians of the adjoining route:
received a hint to keep their eye on the
| infirm lamplighter's frontier and report
if he needed assistance.

This il About Eggs.

y man busIly engaged in holding
eggs up before a candle attracted the
attention of porter in Third avenue
near Forty-seventh street, the other
evening, and here 1t is:
"What are you dolmgP'

each egg and hold 1t before the candle.
The light shines through it. I can see
at a glance whether it is cracked or

TO be sold at a low price. Bakers and
confectiOners and some prudent fami-
lies buy cracked eggs. and they are as
good as any eggs not cracked, but they
must be used within twenty-four
hours"
''Is not that an Old-fashioned way OF
testing eggsf"
''Y es; but experience proves it to be
the best, and it Is quick. An expert
can handle 30, 600 eggs day. 1t has
been tried to test eggs by water. A
good egg Will sink and a bad egg will
float, but you cannot find out a specked
egg that way"
"What makes specked eggs?"
