THE ENGLISH CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER, September 25.- The Guar
dian, in its commercial article, says: There
is more inquiry on most of the departments.
Occasionally it is sufficient to allow of
prices, which were unsuccessfully contend
ed for last Friday, being obtained, though
usually where business is done, both buy
ers and sellers have yielded. Some orders
coming forward indicate that the
distributing markets are slowly
following the upward tendency
of the Manchester market. A few favorite
staples, chiefly shirtings, have met with a
moderate sale for China and Japan full
rates. Fair orders have been placed for
Bombay and Madras. The demand from
minor foreign markets has varied some.
Merchants are able to pay current rates for
moderate quantities, chiefly for South and
Central American markets. Home
markets are buying more free
ly. The demand for bundled yarn
is slow, although there is a disposition to
pay current rates. Better spinnings are
stronger. Full rates are insisted upon for
cloth for prompt delivery. For forward
delivery there is a slight yielding in prices.
The best prints are firmest. Some makes
are well sold, as are also most finishing
cloths. Heavy and plain goods are dull.

A Pointer.

Do not buy pianos or organs from
peddlers, consignment houses or one
horse dealers. These must make
larger profits as their sales are few.
Do not sign notes and ironclad con-
tracts when buying pianos and or
gans on time. In buying so import
ant an article it is better to trust to
houses of standing, and responsibility,
houses that have been in the business
an average lifetime, houses such as

Popularity of Lawn Tennis.

The game of lawn tennis is growing
more popular every day. When it was
first introduced in this country the gen.
eraI opinion was that it would be short
lived, but experience during its progression
shows results just the opposite. Clubs
abound in majority of the suburbs of
large cities, at summer resorts and in pri-
vate life vacation is scarcely popular,
the necessary ontfit not complete, without
provisions for lawn tennis.
In support of this conclusion the New
York Herald has the following to say upon
the subject:
"a tennis enthusiast asserts that about
one hundred men indulge in this form Of
exercise to one who plays base ball or
cricket. He says that no gsme was ever
played that requires, when rightly played,
so violent and continuous exertion in
given length of time as lawn tennis. More
muscles of the body are brought in play
than in any ether known sport. AT the
recent match between Ernest Kenshaw,
the champion of the world, and
Hamilton, who defeated him and
gained the championship of Ire
land, 5000 people witnessed the games.
An equally large attendance, it lie believed,
will witness the similar match at Wimble-
ton this month. The great matches at
Newport have attracted nearly 1000
spectators the last year or two. Better
tennis is played in England than in this
country. Several years ago our American
champions met in friendly play the Egg
lish cracks in the south of France, and
were obliged to receive ODDS from them.
1t is expected that Hamilton who, If o
winner at Wimbledon, will. become
champion OF the world, will come
TO this country in August and
enter the championship tournament at
Newport. If SO, an international interest
in tennis will be awakened. There is lit

Only a Dream.


It's said that one of the studious old gen.
tlemen who daily occupy the windows Of
The Atheream, overlooking the Granary
burial ground, was sitting N his chair,
Derusing book on old Boston and trying
10 solve the oft discussed question: Was
Benjamin Franklin born in the old Milk
street house or in the ancient Blue Ball
structure, which a few years ago stood
on the corner of Hanover snd Union
street? The morning was warm and the
old gentleman fell into sound sleep and
experienced a vivid dream. He saw the
back of he Franklin monument suddenly
open, and the figure OF a stout man,
clothed in garments of the colonial style,
holding in one hand an Old-fashioned can
die mold, and in the other lantern. He
advanced towards the Ather e am, and bow
ing in a stately way to the occupant OF she
window, said IN a deep voice: Can you
direct me 20 Hanover street? My name
is Jo.ias Franklin, and years ego l used to
make talloE candles at the sign OF the
Blue Ball. :" Tha sged book worm was over
loved. Now, thought he, 1 will solve
this vexed question OF B. Franklin's
birthplace aud ne snziously acccsted the
ancient tallos chandler. Had you son
Beri 4min when you resided in that place,
and wss he born there?" YES" replied
the ancient gentleman, Benny was one OF
my boys, and credit 70 my family. He
was born in that house." So delighted
was our antiquarian friend with this di-
rect statement that he gave his rheumatic
knee such vigorous slap that it awoke
aim 10 a realization that the interview was
only a dream.
