THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Special.- Henry
Clews & Co.'S daily circular says: Contrary
TO general expectation. the cotton market
to-day cpcled lower on disappointing ad-
vices from Liverpool and a disposition
amang local bears TO hammer the market.
This feeling. however. did not predominant
long. as reaction afterwards set In, which
caused covering Of shorts on much better
reports from Liverpool. and continued re-
ports of light crop movement. The re-
CENTS at the ports still show falling on,
aud the revival OF short crop estimates,
which for several weeks rather favored
higher figures, further stimulated the r.
ket. and an improved tone preva' ed
throughout the day, closing steady AT an ad-
vance Of 5 points as compared with open
India crop reports came In much smaller
there than expected and high prices have
resulted In bringing out most OF the cot
ton.
The Anti-Opti(n bill was taken up for
discussion to-day and is likely 10 create
more or less uneasiness while under CON
sideration, as IL is still the principal as
turbing element In the market.

than Ia usual az this season. A compari-
son OF sales OF new crop TO date tends TO
the same conclusion. To December II,
1891, the sales OF the new crop amounted
10 only 2.f75 hogsheads; this year 10 De
cemher 10th they foot Wy 5,oS5. The sales
OF new crop this week were 2,IS1. or con-
siderably more than the total sales CT new
crop TO December II. 1891.
While the market was somewhat irreg
ular during one or two days. the average
Of prices for the whole week has been fully
up TO the level OF last week. and on one
grade the minimum quotation moves up
llc. other grades are unchanged. This Is
very noticeable fact, in view Of the large
receipts. which have been 1928 hogsheads,
against 1173 In the corresponding week
last year and 4S3 IN 1890. In other words,
the receipts this week were three times
as large as last year and more than seven
times as large as in the corresponding week
ln 1890. IL will be seen that between FIVE
eighths and three-fourths OF the sales this
week were new crop.

An Experience In an Elevator.
 TErop, ha Pufasn Exnracs


 "No," said Charles A. Seel, Boston business man, as he started to climb to the fourth story of one of the local hotels last night, "I never ride in elevators. SUD- pose am foolish, but had an experience in Minneapolis once that makes me afraid to enter one of them. It was in 1880, and I was travelling for a house in Providence. In a large office building in that city, which was being built by friend of mine, there were two elevator shafts, and in them were placed the finest elevators that had been manufactured up to that time. With the elevators was an air-cushion de- vice which was newly patented and which had never been tried. One day my friend asked me if wanted to take fast trip in one of the elevators. was game for any thing those days, and said that wouldn't mind. The man who invented the air cushion was going to give a practical de- monstration of it's value, and had one of the elevator-cars hauled up to the top of that thirteen-story building. He proposed to get in the car and let it drop, and he wanted some one to go down with him. The car had been dropped two or three times with nobody in it, and the cushions had worked beautifully. That afternoon tor, two reporters and myself were to go down with the car. had given my prom ise that would make the trip, and all though would have given all that pos sessed to stay out of the car after found what was expected of me, I screwed my courage up to the sticking point rather than be laughed at, and when the invent or said that everything was ready got in. The door was locked moment after en- tered, and when I saw that there was no escape I forced up sickly sort of grin and looked around. was SO scared that my legs shook under me, and the reporters were in exactly the same physical condi- ton. The inventor puttered around, fix ing everything in ship-shape, and we sat | on the seat and trembied in unison.
 "Finally everything was ready and the | inventor gave the word. The rope that held the car up was cut and the trip be gan. It is utterly impossible to describe | the horrible sensation that I felt when that l car shot dQWpwsrda Ny hsad sxam, sns

Telling Time by an Heirloom.

lrEoHl tnc IniCaSo Daly lfluunc-l
 'It's an heirloom" he said, as he took out of his pocket watch as big as an or dinary two dollar alarm clock and shook 1t to hear the works rattle. ''My great grandfather carried it."
 "What with-a truckf" asked his friend.
 ''Oh, that's all right" responded the man with the watch. "Have all the fun you want; but you couldn't duplicate it to-day for two hundred dollars."
 '1 suppose not. How much do you think the freight charges on it would be from here to New York;"
 "I know it's big, but tell you it's price, less. It's old-fashioned, but it's all there {"
 ''Yes, with some additions and bay win dows. But, really, is it reliablei"
 'I can tell the time to a half minute by it and swear to it. I'll bet I can come closer to the exact time than you now"
 ''I'E go you" He pulled out 6 hand some little stem winder, glanced at 1t and said: "Its 12:33. Now get crowbar and open your old safety-deposit vault and see what time you make it."
 The other pried tLe old watch open with the back of knife blade, studied 6 mo- ment and then said:
 "Let me see. This is Saturday, and I set it last Thursday evening at six o'clock. That is trifie over forty-two and ons-hAlf hours ago. At half 6 minute an hour the tota. loss would be twnty-one and one fourth minutes. I now make 1t 12:14S Adding twenty y-one and one-fourth to that would make the corrected time 12:35f, and I'm willing to leave it to any chronometer in town. Talk about your reliable watch esi Why, you can bet on this old heir- loom and win every time. Its lost half . minute an hour for sixty-three years. All you've got to do is to remember when you set it and you can figure the time down al- most to quarter seconds."

devised way of producing light superi- or in strength to either oil or electricity. It is by means of air driven. through pum- ice-stone, the latter having been impreg- mated with benzine. The benzine gas thus obtained is then carried through a
 fine magnesium powder, and proceeds up- ward through pipe to be consumed in a small flame of & claimed 400, ,000 candle power. The apparatus consists of a blast engine for driving the air through the pumice, and a number of other accessor- ies, all of which take up but small space.

 A Berlin correspondent gives what he claims to be the inside history of the recent muddle and crisis over the education bill. He says: In Prussia the action of the crown is much more direct than in Eng land. The ministers bringing bill into a parliament obtain the preliminary sane tion of the sovereign, and this was done in the case of the education bill. The emperor gave preliminary sanction be- cause he agreed with the fundamental principle, but had no intention of commit ting himself to the details, which he wished to be so modified as to obtain considerable majority in the chambers. Count von Zedlitz, whose sympathies were with the extreme party, disregarded the emperor's wishes and sought to push the bill through in its most unacceptable form. Count Caprivi, probably from sentiment of loyalty towards his colleague, but without any instructions from the emperor, committed himself up to the hilt and gave it to be understood that the gov ernment would insist upon having the bill passed. This declaration induced the emperor to examine the whole matter very carefully, and as soon as he learned that the measure was opposed from so many quarters he told his ministers frankly that he could not give it his assent.
