COTTON MARKET.

There Was Quite a Slump Which
Caused Some Excitement.
New York, Nov. 2S.-The cotton
market opened fairly steady consid-
ering the disappointing cables from
Liverpool. First call showed a loss
of one to three points. Light receipts
are looked for in view of the early es-
Inmates for southern points and local
traders bought, advancing prices two
to five points. A sharp break of sew
en- points followed on receipt of tele-
grams shown tremendous movement
at ports. selling set in and there was
some excitement. Stop orders were
reached and selling was general for
fifteen minutes, after which the mar
ket became quiet. At IL o'clock the
tone was barely steady and prices
were five to six points below last
nights closing.

since the great blizzard of January
II. 1888. Snow drifts in the streets

CHRISTMAS DAY.
For Fifteen Centuries The Birth OF
Christ Has Been Celebrated On
December 81.


christmas is prominently church
festival" writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott
in the Christmas Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. ''The Puritans, seeing only the
superstitiOns and disorderliness with
which Christmas had become encum-
bered, strove with all their ardor to
destroy it, but happily did not sue
coed. The argument sometimes used
against it, that the birthday of the
child Jesus is not known, and there
fore cannot be observed, does not pre-
vail against the almost universal long
ing to celebrate in some way this
great event. So we are not surprised
to learn that in the first centuries
of the Christian era Christians, though
general celebrating the nativity, were
not unanimous in the time chosen for
the festival. At least part of the
early church observed the sixth of
January, not only to commemorate
the Epiphany, or the manifestation of
Christ to The gentiles, but also the
birth of Jesus, and it was not until
the end of the fourth century. per-
haps not until the beginning of the
fifth, that the present date, December
%, was generally accepted. The
Christmas season is sometimes used
to designate the time between Deem
Der 16 and February 1, more often the,
fortnight between December "A and
January 6. During all this period
there was formerly, and still continues
to be, a spirit of joy and festivity
which entities it to be called the holt
days The vigil of the nativity, or
as we now call it, Christmas eve, was
observed from the first with excep-
tional devotion, perhaps because the
birth of our Lord occurred in the
night. Unlike other vigils it contin-
ued through the night, and made,
with Christmas itself, one great So
lemnity."
