weekly Market Review.

Cotton-There was greater activity and
more interest in the market. Early in the
week prices were firm and tended up, Au-
gust advancing 10 points to S.16c later,
support seemed suddenly Withdrawn, and
summer months made a sharp decline,
August selling on Saturday as low as 7S0c
closing 1850, or 20 points lower for the
week. The new crop suffered little or no
decline, despite the weakness of the old
crop and the generally favorable weather
Indeed New York now tells that a mon
ster crop is practically assured. but there
are still some who think that it Will re-
quire four or five months good weather
conditions to decide that question.
1t is hardly safe to jump to the conclu-
sion that the speculation in summer
months has definitely collapsed because
of what may prove only temporary re-
action, or even a part of the bullish pro-
gramme. 1t may serve the bUlliSh party
the double purpose of shaking out lot Of
undesirable company and affording an op-
portunlty OF acquiring increased lines at
lower figures. Such flaws must be ex-
pected; but with the position so strong, 1t
scarcely seems likely that summer cam
pagn would fizZle out in May.
Wheat-There is not much to be said
about the weeks market. Trading was
light and fluctuations moderate, with the
close steady at a small fractional decline
The visible supply continues to decrease
very slowly and crop accounts are gener-
ally favorable; but prices are so low that
any change IN these bearish conditions
would cause sharp up-turn The spring
wheat crop is still backward in a large
part of that region, but is said that IA
some more southerly sections of the win
ter wheat belt harvest will commence in
about a week. There are complaints
however, that headings are short
Provisions dull and dropping, with most
weakness in pork, which sold down to
$7.171a for July, but there was some little
reaction at the close. Receipts of hogs
continue very heavy, and the trade apa-
thetic. 1t is probable that the big packers
are short of the futures against their spot
holdings and are doing all they can to
work a profit on the former before turn
ing to engineer an advance.

DAY WHEN THE CENTURY ENDS.
Controversies as to the Date of the
Twentieth Century's Beginning.
FROM the New YORK Herald.

Does the twentieth century begin on Jan.
/ 1900. or on Jan. /, 1901? This question
agitated a great many people some time
ago. and it seems to be agitating some
now.
And, as is the case with every question,
it had advocates on each side. Those who
hold that the twentieth century will dawn
On Ian. l. 1900, reason that this is so
because the first Of our era began on
Jan. /, 100. Another argument is that the
first century began on Jan. / of the year
0. and the second on Jan. / Of the year
100 lust as a child is said to be in its
first year before 1t has reached the an
niversary of its birth, when it enters it's
second year This logic is applied to the
twentieth century question: and those who
use il hold that that era opens on Jan. l,
1900
They argue further that Dec. 81, 80 was
the last day in our first era, and completed
the first century and that. therefore, Jan.
l. 100 marked the opening Of the second
century Amy child viii tell you. they say,
that a persons twentieth year begins
when his nineteenth birthday is attained.
So. they conclude that the twentieth cen
turv begins in the year 1900

will begin Jan ], 1901.
As way out OF the difficulty. conserva-

OLD boats AND COLLISIONS.
In Most Collisions the BETTER Boat IL
the One to Sink.

rom the buffalo Express.
"Did you ever notice" said an old mari
ner, that when collision occurs on the
lakes the better boat in nine cases out OF
ten, gets the worst OF ii, and generally
goes to the bottom. on the other hand,
the old boat, for in a great many in
stances it Is an old boat. receives little
damage. If any.
Take for instance, the sinking of the
Lehigh Valley liner Cayuga, which oc-
CURED on the 10th of last May. She col
llded with the steamer Joseph l.. Hurd,
and was sunk in Lake Michigan near
| SkllllGaiee light. The Cuyaga was one Of
the best steamers on the lakes. and worth
about 800, coo. The Hurd was an old hm-
Der barge, which had been condemned
once ana then rebuilt, and worth almost
nothing.
"At the timeiof the collision there was a
