COTTON MARKET EXCITED.
Continued Boom of Prices-BuIIs and
Bears Together.

NEW YORK, August THE cotton
market to-day presented another scene
Of tumult, the boom of the past two days
being continued. The prices at the open
ing showed an average of 10 points in ad-
vance Of yesterdays closing-prices, which
were the highest known in the
cotton market in years. Such was the
condition of affairs to-day that the lines
of demarcation between bulls and
bears were obliterated Mohren. Mann
helm & Co., who are invariably on the
bear side, helped the upward Jump Of
prices by joining the bull contingent tenn
porarily.
Inman, Swami & Co.; Mcintyre &
Wardwel, Lehman Brothers, Henry
Hentz & Co., and the other big operators
had two or more representatives on
the floor. Their operations We're con-
Quoted in such a manner that the smaller
dealers could not definitely determine
whether they were combining to advance
prices generally, or making purchases in
dividually.
The selliug went on right merrily from
the start for half an hour after the opcn-
ing of the market, and then thera
was a slump which sent the shorts to
cover. but from which the market ral-
lied rapidly The total sales I'D 20 IL
o'clock aggregated nearly 10000 bales.

From the Courler-J ournal.
BY the light of day the Red Mill. for
that is its name in English. is but poor
affair; squatty, squalid. with nothing to
s.gnalize it except the elevated open space
in which It stands. Like some horrid mon
ster recumbent and asleep from dawn to
twilight, no sooner does the sun go out
of the heavens and the stars begin to
shine than 1t yawns, rears. and with a
great howl springs to its feet; its eyes
flaming and its jaws agape, eager Tor its
prey. As your carriage mounts the hill
through a long, dark avenue, you become
conscious of a lurid glare. \ GU look ahead
Before you is place, or square, brill
iantly lighted only at the further end
There you behold a gorgeous electric dis
playa facade of white and golden
globes-and, high above these the wings
of a great windmill slowly burlington
the mills even Of such false goddesses as
reign in Moulin Rouge grind slowly-the
wings being composed, of course, of myr-
lads of red electric lamps. The effect
though sinister. is picturesque and novel
You pay your two francs and enter
There are a garden, theater and a
dance hall, all opening one into another

ceases to shock, or even to be particularly

the old man rose suddenly, and says he:

old woman did as she was bid.
I have observed that women are more
impressed by what they see and hear at
Moulin Rouge than the men who come
here. Perhaps II IS that there is. in the
case of the women, an appeal to the i'm
agination which in the case of the men is
wanting; for a man must be callow in
deed. who finds anything in place like
this to arouse other than his disgust
Indeed. the woman, particularly the good
American woman does not realize the
fun meaning or the extent of all this de-
pravity. Her sense is lured by the fan
tastic. The music, the lights, the color.
the novelty catch her fancy II is the
thoughtful man who, knowing all looks
on with pity and horror.
