The wheelman finds much in these days to
make his heart glad. A gratifying contribution
to his cup of JOY came yesterday In the signing
by Governor Morton Of the bill for return
cycle path from Coney Island to Prospect Park
and for the Glenmore-ave. improvement, the
significance Of which lies In its giving direct
connection between Brooklyn's smooth streets
and the famed roads of Queens County. While
these are primarily Brooklyn enterprises, they
concern directly the body of riders in New-iork
and even nearby New-Jersey. The present cycle
path is known TO wheelmen all over the coun-
try, and many have come long miles to enjoy
spin on its smooth surface down to the ocean.
Meanwhile, however Governor Morton still has
the Armstrong Bicycle Baggage bill before him.
BY approving it also he would give the tens OF
thousands Of bicyclists Of the State substantial
cause for rejoicing.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Liverpool today made
but a tame response to our advance of yes
terday and during the two hours of trading
here the sellers outnumbered the buyers
and prices declined. January opened at
1853. and after rallying to 7G5 gave way I'M
der the pressure of offerings and finally
touched 7.52, closing at the lowest of the
day with the tone easy The receipts today
were again large and the main impetus to
the downward course of prices came from
the posting of the figures from Savannah,
which were especially heavy. The bears
who now number in their ranks, the big
German traders, who a short time ago were
prominent on the bull side, declare that dur
ing the rest of the season more cotton VIII
come into sight, every week than during
the corresponding week of last season. The
bulls ridicule this assumption and claim
that great deal more than half the crop
is already in sight and that in q very short
time the reduced receipts will make tbs
plain to the trade. We incline to the opin-
ion that the bulls will prove to he right,
but the trouble is that they have been Woe
fully mistaken so far and that while their
views are supported only by inference COM
parison and hope the position of the bears
is strengthened every day by the addition
of many thousands of bales more to the WIS.,
ible supply than on the corresponding day
last season. The danger is that this may
go on until most of the tired bulls are forced
to lquidate and perhaps at much lower
prices until lighter receipts shall point the
way to a lasting advance we cannot advise
cur friends to buy, but we do urge them to
accept any profit upon long contracts which
an upward turn in the market may place
within their reach. R1ORDAN 6S Co.

permanent, however, and on realizing sales

Importance of the fact was not so great as
it otherwise would have been. May wheat

Conan advance of 12d at Liverpool
helped corn materially. The opening
strength OF wheat was of course the main
agent in producing lrrnness, but when a re-
action in that market took place there was
a like disposition evinoed by corn. May
corn opened at Z5sc, declined to and closed
