SITUATION IN SUGAR.

a. local sugar market has n very
nav tone In sympathy with the re-
n advance at New Orleans and ether
Eitrs In discussing the strength Of thu
6sral market the Picayune says: IAN
Information available points to the
fsect that the deficit In the world 5
rply Of sugar will reach this season at
n $50, 900 tons. This large deficit is
ticient not only to wipe out the surplus
EIled over from last crop. but to actunl-
{rduce visible stocks TO very moderat e
kre Cuba IS expected to contribute
Ma $4,000 tons of the deficit. and the
kitss received from the island from dav
day are of a very uiscouraging char
ffr, there being accounts of burned
u fields and factories and of the ina
tty OF estates to commence grinding.
fThls seasons experience has demon
hlsd the wisdom of making good gro
q sugar The Picayune has Constantly
BED upon tho planters the ACCESSIBILITY
making high grade sugar as the surcst
hans Of maintaining competition IN the
Var market and preventing the Iouisi-
y crop from becoming the prey Of the
Mar trust. The refiuers this season have
" compelled TO compete actively with
Der classes of buyers for tho sugar they
lie purchased

New York. December So--The cotton
market went TO the verge OF panic to-
day, following Yesterdays decline with a
further break OF l4dl5 points under great
excitement and liquidation being unset
tied chiefly by the panicky condition OF
affairs IN all street and the failure IN
the stock market Increasing the pressure
Some parties bought al weakest Intervals
aud turned the market. causing steady
closing with n net less Of 4Nl0 points
Light receipts a, The interior and a
smaller gain In stocks than had been
session but Ignored IN consequence Of
the uneaslness engendefed by Wall street
conditions The foundation OF the re-
cent weakness was the political uncer-
iainty Immediately following the prcsi-
dents message on the Venezuelan qucs-
lion. At the closH OF business more re
assured feeling was noticeable In all d.
rections.

philosophical reasoning, there must be
line of equilibrium drawn somewhere
between the center and the circumfer-
enoe of the earth. The exact location Of
this line will always be determined by
the motion of the earth. 1t is ON this
line that the external and the internal
forces meet in deadly conflict, striving for
gravitatious power and the enforcement
of their laws. The friction produced by
these two forces must be the source of
all internal heat and the eternal fire.
1t is these two opposing forces that
form and sustain the immense balance
wheel called 1.-The earth, " which is 25,-
900 miles in circumference, but cannot
exceed 200 miles in thickness, including
the lava belt in the center.
The irregular motion of the earth
will change the central line of gravity
and cause an eruption of lava either ex-
ternal or internal. The earth when
viewed as a whole is unit, and so
are the laws which operate it, whether
applied to the external or the internal
surface.
The law which reverses gravitation
on this equalizing line has given us two
earths in one, or world within a
world. The friction and heat of the
earth at the equator are so much greater
than they are at the poles that the law of
electric equilibrium will produce an
electric current to meet the demand for
light and heat
This internal earth is counterpart
of the external in all things, except its
Atlantic and Pacific are not quite so
vast, and its Nile and its Amazon are
not quite so long. Neither is its equator
nor its zones nor its poles quite so high.
Nature with an impartial hand, has
withheld no good thing from this new
world that can be tasted of by any 9th

from Darwin as Darwin is removed

How the Race Horse Peytonia Won $500
For Little Miss Lowrey.
The caprioes Of fortune ever consti-
tute subject for special wonder, but
the glorious uncertainties of the turf
afford perhaps a wider scope for refiec-
tions ON the ups and downs of life than
almost any other sphere Of action. Earl
Lowrey, formerly Of Pittsburg, but now
of Chicago, tells story that illustrates
this conclusion very well.
On the morning Of the day that Rey
El Santa Anita won the American
Derby at Washington park Lowreys s
little girl, while looking over a pro-
gramme of the events which he had
carelessly left about the house, was
struck with the name "Peytonia, the
name of an entry in the first race of the
day. So deeply was she impressed with
it that she asked her father to place her
savings of small change on Peytonia,
the total amount being 50, which he
agreed to do. On arrival at the park he
at once discovered that Peytonia's
chances for victory appeared to be very
slim, one bookmaker offering 400 to 1
against her. Lowrey, nothing daunted,
placed the 50 per order, and in doing
so provoked a smile from the man ON
the block, which so nettled him that he
promptly placed 50 moro at 40 to for
the place. AS has so often happened be-
fore, Peytonia fairly dropped from the
clouds" when the horses were fairly
Strengthened out in the stretch, and to
the amazement of every one won the
race with comparative ease. Miss Low.
rey's fondness for the name Peytonia
therefore netted her $500 in cash, while
the head of the family was 5000 better
off for acting as her commissioner. -
