MARKETS-LOCAL AND GENERAL
MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.



New York, Nov. 12.-Cotton was quiet to-
day and through the undertone was good.
The extreme fluctuations were within
range of only points. January opened at
7.99, sold up to &c. declined to 795, but raj
lied In the final trading and closed at
7.99 bid, with the tone firm. After the close
&c was freely bid for January. A very per-
ceptible falling off in the interior receipts
was the cause of the hardening of prices.
The bulls are expecting still higher interior
receipts tomorrow, and are predicting a
higher market. On the other hand the
bears urge tina the market is already ter
ribly too heavy, and that no material adj
vance is possible until the bulk of the long
interest has been liquidated. Everybody adj
mits that If liquidation takes place 1t will
cut down prices very seriously, but it is
possible that the shrinkage of receipts may
be early enough and great enough to lift
prices and avert a general liquidation.

Nest of Clock Springs.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is birds nest made entirely of steel. There are a number of clock-making shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day clock maker noticed in tree in his yard a birds nest of peculiar appearance. Ex- amining it, he found that pair of wag- tails had built a nest entirely of clock springs. It was more than four inches across, and perfectly comfortable for the birds. After the feathered archi- tects had reared their brood, the nest was taken to the museum, where it is preserved as a. striking illustration of the skill of birds in turning their sur 1oundings to advantage in building their nests.

NOT THE SAME.
Beranger's Terse and Clever Character.
 ization os Victor Hnpo

Beranger's Terse and Clever Character
 ization o: Victor Hugo.
 A terse and clever characterization was that by which Beranger, the poet, summed up Victor Hugo's relation to the great republican spirit of France. Hugo, although it is said that he was not republican at the very beginning of his career, became a most enthusiastic and outspoken one. He represented the pie torial, dramatic side of popular feeling and became so picturesque a. figure in French politics that he could not have failed to serve as a popular idol.
 Beranger, who was republican of the simplest type, notwithstanding his share in establishing Louis Philippe on the throne, denied the poets attitude in one line.
 One day, says the Contemporary Re- view, shortly after the revolution which overtoppled that throne. an acquaint- anee of Beranger met him coming out of the Palais-Bourbon. q shall feel obliged said the poet. eff you will see me home, for I do not feel at all well. lnSiOe there are nor to my taste. I am not at all we'll" he continued, with wistful smile; T have been accused of having held the plank over which Louis Philippe went to the Tuileries. I wish I could be the bridge across the Channel on which he would return. Certainly would have liked a republic, but not such as we are having i'll there"
 He pointed to the home of the Con- stituent assembly. "You ought to be pleased" said his friend. "Victor Hugo is in the same regiment with you"
 Victor Hugo is not ia the regiment" !" was the quiet reply. ''He is in the band"
