DRY GOODS.

Manchester, Jan. S.-The Guardian IN its
commercial article says: There has been
a fair inquiry since the last report, but it
has mostly been unavoidable. Producers
do not often press sellers, though they are
frequently unable to refuse the low offers
made it being necessary for them to re-
plenish their order books in order to pre-
vent the stoppage of their machinery.
Buyers are backward in responding to the
demands for higher figures and those sell
lers who were firm in their demands met
with little success and later yielded some
what, causing increased transactions. The
widespread political unrest has checked
the financial troubles in America has had
a greater influence on cotton. There has
been some inquiry from China for sheet
ing, shirtings and various other sorts of
goods, but the poorness of the bids him
dered the business. The demand from In
dia has been Stacker. There have been Of
fers from Calcutta for dhooties, jaconets,
mulls and fine goods and from Madras for
wide sheetings and light bleachings. The
miscellaneous trade has been small. The
transactions in yarn have been disappoint-

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-The receipts were
very light, and offerings small, and bust
ness dull. At the Board of Trade at the
first call the market was bulletined firm
at CSC for regulars, with sales of p casks.
At the last call the market closed I'M
changed. Factors were confidently eX-
pecting a further advance as soon as the
offering stock increases enough to start
a fall buying.
Rosin-The market was rather quiet
though sales of common grades were cas-
ily made. There was still no demand for
pales the tone of which was bulletined
nominal. other grades were firm and I'M
changed. The sales for the day, as re-
ported at the Board of Trade, were S4S
barrels.

WHITE AND BLACK CRAvATs.
In Former Times They Were Badges
Of the Wearer's Profession.

Years ago the white tie in this
country was the characteristic wear
of the reverend clergy, their monopo-
ly, says the Boston Transcript.
Thence it passed into general use and
disputed popularity with the black.
The black neckcloth was early in
this century likewise a professional
badge. Those who followed the pro-
fession of arms claimed the right to
wear it as their monopoly and some
times enforced that right. Cooper
in "Wing-and-Win makes a very
dramatic use of this custom A
French privateer captain in disguise
has fallen into the hands of the Eng
lish and is brought before a court
martial. So skillfully does he stick
to his assumed character of fisher
man that his judges are puzzled un-
til one of his accusers suddenly
places around the prisoners throat
the black neckcloth which all officers
wore. Then his true character
blazes forth and he is condemned,
but he escapes execution to die,
sword in hand. Cooper knew what
he was writing about, for he, too,
had been an officer.
Military and naval men wore black
cravats when in plain clothes and
civilians aped them until black be-
came the only wear. Before the rise
of the black cravat carelessly tied
white lace, the Steenkirk, had been
in vogue for neckwear Its popular,
ity likewise was civilian tribute to
military valor. At the battle of
Steenkirk the French royal guards,
the household troops, being suddenly
called from their tents to meet the
oncoming English, had no time to tie
their rich lace cravats with their &C
customed neatness and loosely
knotted them about their threats.
They were the dandies of Europe, the
perfect pinks of military propriety,
and were correspondingly brave.
They did up the English in about one
round and thenceforward the Steen-
kirk cravat was the fashion, and the
more carelessly it was knotted the
more Steenkirky it was.
AS white is now the color of peace
may not the psychologist be justified
in hailing snowy cravats as evidences
of mans recognition that peace hath
her victories not less fashionable
than those of war and as worthy of
being commemorated at the neck2

The Superfluous Words.

The late Charles Carleton Coffin,
the author who first won fame as a
war correspondent, was once asked
the secret of his style, his graphic
descriptions having given his letters
from the front their great attractive
ness. He answered that he had no
method other than to write his story
naturally, as if he were talking, and
then to go over his copy and strike
out every word not necessary to the
sense. 'Carleton's" plan embodied
a principle OF which many adver-
tisers have since awaited themselves.
To be natural is to be sincere; to be
concise is to be vigorous-and these
are cardinal virtues in the economics
of publicity. Philadelphia Record.

PAwNsHoPs In GERMANY.
Many of Them Are Under Govern.
ment Management and Control.

manf OF mem are Onoer Govern.
ment Management and Control.
There is royal pawnshop in Ber-
lin, there are state pawnshops, ducal
pawnshops, county pawnshops, city
or municipal pawnshops aud private
pawnshops, says Tid-Bits. The
municipal and private pawnshops
may both exist in the same town.
The rate of interest was fixed by a
law passed in 1881 at not more than
"a per cent. per annum on loans
under 30 marks, and not over IL per
cent. on larger sums.
In Berlin the pawnshop is a royal
institution, and is not allowed to
make profit. Its surplus goes to
charitable purposes. At Hanau no
interest is charged on loans up to
three marks if the articles are re-
deemed within six days. At Hof, in
Baden, people are allowed to raise
money, giving as security the receipt
of their wages two or three weeks
ahead. "
At Weimar and Hanau anonymous
pawning is the rule. No names are
asked and no address is given. Pro
vision is made at Memel for mer-
chants depositing goods in time of
temporary embarrassment.
At Bautzen raw wool is received
in pledge. At Bromberk military &C
countrements are excluded from the
articles which may be pawned. The
pawnshops at Detmold will not re-
ceive articles in pawn from servants
without consent of their masters.
At Altenberg and one or two other
places no one is allowed to pawn ar
ticles of more than 200 marks value
without the consent of the town
council. ..... ..
Although private pawDbrokers ex-
ist alongside the municipal institu-
tions, in many towns the latter re-
fuse to do business with the former.
Secondhand dealers and pawn
brokers are especially prohibited
from resorting to the municipal
pawnshops. A salutary regulation
against dealing with pawn tickets is
frequently enforced. The rate of in
terest fiuctuates great deal in Ger
many, and is highest for small sums
loaned for short periods. The aver
age is about IL per cent and on
loans issued against securities 4 or 5
per cent.
