trading In the final hour, but there was
more selling pressure developed In the
Bfangers and Chicago Gas. A slight
ially IN sugar induced by purchases
by Mr.. keene's brokers was one Of the
features of the late afternoon trading.
The room traders sold the stock for a
turn: The Wheeler party hammered
81. Paul and Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy and caught stop orders. There
was also some liquidation In Chicago,
Burington and Quincy for Boston.
CnicaBo Gas was again under the ham
lnei ana the Benedict party did not
distribute supporting orders, so that
room shorts were able to press the
lowest priced specialties. p. NJ was in
good demand, but G. l.. was lower on
sales to realize profits. Earnings of

New York oct 90 The movement Of
cotton at thep orts today brooks all REG
ords The actual number Of bales was
SG,Sg4. aginst $1,000, the maximum re-
ceipts OF one day In the 100000 crop
the date being October 20, 1891. This
fact was supplemented by weak Eu-
rupoan adviccs and reports of grent
pressure In the Liverpool cotton mar
ket in the way of offerings from the
South. The reports from Liverpool
show the English spinners are buying
beyond their consumption, but not
absorbing the cotton as freely offered.
II is seen that spinners in the South
and New England are buying cotton
ahead OF their wants. taking advantage
of the temptingly low prices. Under
this pressure cotton sold of to 5.h4 for
january this morning. after which
there was a sharp rally Of 10 points ON
coverings. The buying was of n better
character than for some time past.

The Earth Has Begun WabbIing.

Observations are to be made stimuli
taneously at Washington and at Manila,
in the Philippine islands, which is almost
directly opposite Washington on the
other side of the globe, to see what is
the matter with the axis of our planet.
Observations show that for some time
the earth has not been revolving on that
important if imaginary support, as she
has done for centuries, and scientists
have decided that it is time to find, if
possible, what it all means. Those who
have studied the subject declare that if
the variations continue in the course of
some very long and very indefinite peri
cd we shall have an arctic climate at
Washington, and the latitude of every
place ON the globe will be changed, and
our Biographies will be useless. An
equatorial telescope has been finished
and sent out to Manila, and before long
diligent inquiry will be made into the
why's and wherefores of the peculiar
performances of old mother earth

What Did He Eat,

There comes a good story from Monte

1000 franc notes and placed them on
the black without even taking the pre-
caution of insuring them. twas play

The cards were dealt for the first coup,

Elephant Leather.

A new industry is being rapidly de-
veloped in France, and if you mean to
be in the fashion you had better take
note of it at once. Some years ago it
was the gentle crocodile which was Sc
lected as the fittest animal for providing
you with new purses, bags, cigarette
cases, boots, shoes and all the rest of
leathery knickknacks. Now it is the ele-
phant that has to give his hide for the
same purpose.
At Paris even now you can buy card
or cigar case of crocodile hide which has
been glorifed by six months sojourn in
bath of oak bark in the tanners yard.
The price of the little toy is from 10
to 20 guineas. and if you are ambi-
tious enough to wish to purchase small
crocodile valise "and no one there to
hinder" you may do so for the sum Of
from e15 to e100. The tanned elephant
