The Cotton Market Has Been Partial
ly COrnered by a Spectator
-Dun'S Report of Trade.

New York, Oct. 19.-R. G. Dun says:
The present trade situation is
promising in nature. though 10 the
speculative markets not entirely en-
cOuraging. The great advance in cot
on had arrested exports and sc de-
ranged exchanges that shipments Of
gold were for the time apprehended,
but a break in the market indicates
that the natural movement of the pro-
duct may soon be restored. This
halting of the demand and the mod
crate yielding of prices in the great
industrial markets show that the sea-
son of reasonable attention to nat
ural conditions has arrived and gives
hope that the future demand will be
more nearly proportional to the act
ual consumption. The cotton market
has been partly cornered for early de-
livery by a New Orleans operator
and his followers, as it has been twice
in not distant years by Liverpool
spectators who ended in failure.
Wheat does not so out freely, and an
attempt to advance the prices NJ on
day was followed by an immediate
decline. The rush Of wheat to the
market and the largest output of
dour ever known at Minneapolis
are not evidence Of a great shortage
in yield, but the prices changed only
1-Sc. for the week. Corn is stronger,
without clear reason.
Textile manufactures have a strong
market for materials to support them
But scarcely any advance is seen
this week in cotton goods, though the
rise for the month avera ged Al per
cent. and there seems such a halt as
appeared a month ago in iron pro-
ducts. The price of some worsteds
has advanced because they
have advanced abroad, but it
is as questionable as ever how far the
the market can be held by domestic
makers. and wooden manufacturers
have to face, not only foreign compe-
tition. but the special tendency Of
popular demand toward worsted fab

GREAT BODILY HARM. ~
Strong Language in the Warrant for
Corbett

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 19.-Corbett
was brought into the city yesterday
morning by the sheriff and a1raigned
before a justice of the peace on q
charge of conspiring to commit as
suit and battery upon Bob Fitzsim-
mons by agreeing to engage in a
prize fight with him. The affidavits
Of the attorney sta ties that there is
danger in such a meeting resulting
in the defendant doing Fitzsimmons
great bodily harm. COrhett was re-
leased upon a petition to the
chancery court, of whom he asked for
writ of ha beas corpus ON the
grounds that he was not contemplate
ing to violate any state laws of Ar
kansas, hence he. Was being Illegally
restrained of his liberty by the sheriff.
The justice thereupon passed Corbett
over to the chancery court. The tes-
timony of Joe Vendig was begun. but
before it was concluded Attorney Mar
tin. for the defense, asked that Cor
bett be excused as he had to take the
afternoon train for Little Rock. The
judge consented, but had the sheriff
send a deputy along to see that Cor
bett got back in time for the recon-
vening today.

tics of children are as varied as their
physical characteristics and much
more difficult of apprehension and
good training involves the co-opera-
ton Of the parents. 1t is peculiar
thing, but generally true, that par
entS do not often hesitate to believe
any ridiculous story a child may tell
concerning occurrences at school.
Children's misrepresentation are
often faults of Judgment and failure
TO receive all the facts in the case.
but unless they are aided to correct
these judgments they aTe apt to be-
come unreliable. To illustrate: A
child nine years old, not a week ago,
here in Madison, said to her teacher
in the presence of her own family.
You called us babies" When the
teacher asked: when did l call you
babies?" the child replied, We'll. you
called Us primary children. anyhow.
and that is just the same" Many
examples where serious trouble was
involved, by similar misstatements,
might be given. and 1 am convinced
that, training in listening and re-
peatiug, might do much TO prevent
trouble which is the result of gossip.
Lowell says: Curiosity may be
said to be the quality which pre-emi-
nently distinguishes and segregates
man from the Ewer animals. AS we
trace the scale of animated nature
downward, we find this faculty las it
may truly be called of the mind di-
minished in the savage and quite eX-
tinct in the brute The first object
which civilized MN proposes to him
self [ take to be the finding out
wha tsoever he can concerning his
neighborS. The next in strength to
this (an opposite pole-indeed of the
same magnet is that of communicate
ing the unintelligence we have care
fully picked up" Bigelow Papers)
In regard to punishment l wish to
call attention to two points. First,
most people, parents and teachers,
make the mistake of Furnishing on ac-
! count of the result not because of the
motive of the action. If Johnnie
throws a stone and breaks a costly
plate-glass window he is likely to be
punished; but if he throws the stone.
and under precisely the same circum-
stances, minus the accident, he is
likely to escape even reproof. The
motive, not the result. should deter
mine the punishment. The finest
and most successful superintendent
with whom it was ny good fortune to
he associated for several years used
to ite'ate and reiterate: The certain
ty and not the severity deers.

British minister, Chamberlain, as to

Guiana frontier. He pointed out that
there was a Warlike sound to the
publication, in marked contrast with
the satisfactory tone of the London
Times Friday. Minister Andrade
consulted late map as ito the locali-
ty of the new road which Chamber
lain advised as useful for military
purposes. This is to run from the
Barima river to Cuyuni. Barima is
one of the nost northern points in
Venezuela and is embraced within
the concession recently granted by
Venezuela to the United .Stats Syndi-
cate. The proposed road would have
to cross this American concession,
north and south, almost in the mid
die. Guyuni is far in the south near
two opposing posts at Oruan. All
these places are outside the SchOm-
burg line and in the territory which
it is understood Great Britain will not
consent to arbitrate upon.
