RALEIGH COTTON MARKET


New York, Aug. 1.-(Special)-A
an easier opening the market became
excited and advanced some II points
on the covering of the larger part of
the short interests which has existed
for foreign shipment at this point re-
ports were received stating that the
indications for the weather tomorrow
pointed to a number of local showers
throughout the Mississippi Valley and
on these advices the market broke to
last nights prices Catching many
stop orders which caused weak UNI
dertone.
Although some large lines of cotton
have been sold to-day which were
bought early in the week the situation
is unchanged except as in SO far as
these local showers may relieve the
situation in the Mississippi Valley
should they become good rains. The
market will undoubtedly move to-
wards a lower place as it has been
weakened by the covering of the short
interest. but should the showers prove
to be only partial a further advance
will occur. There was a general dis
position among traders to close trans
actions before Sunday as it has been
the fate of the bulls this season to suf-
fer from rains which occurred on the
Sundays, and they are, therefore, dis
posed to take their profits after such
a wild and active week There has
been no change in tenor of the crop
advices from the Southwest and they
continue to indicate that the crop has

English Churches.

The English people have a deep seated
love for their old churches and cathedrals,
and they spend money lavishly for their
preservation. In the last 90 years not less
than go 600, 900 has been expended in the
restoration of these edifices, and this does
not include any sum below $500.
In London alone $500, 900 has been thus
spent IN addition 10000, 900 has been
devoted in the country at large to the cree

Suffrage as B Boon to Women.

One of the strongest practical reasons for extending suffrage to women Is in order to mako mental and physical ac- tivity fashionable. In society, ' so call ed, today women are respected, not as workers, but as idlers. not as bees, but as butterflies The result is class of wo- men no longer young or beautiful, usu- ally the daughters of rich parents, who have grown up without objects or oc- equations They live lazy lives, wea- riness 10 themselves and torment to their relatives. Often they become mor- bid and hysteriea1 and fancy them selves the victims of heart disease or nervous prostration. If physicians and trained nurses should divulge profes- sional experiences, the number of such victims of perverted Efemininity" would startle the community.
 We very properly deplore the hard lives and meager pay of shopgirls and factory operatives. But, bad as their condition often is, 1t is infinitely pref erable to the lazy. trifing, selfish, ex- acting lives of women who are not forced to earn their daily bread and who are not occupied with household or fam fly cares Such women brood over real or imaginary ailments. Without aims or interests, they are like stranded ships, unable to sail the seas of honor able activity. Such women are always and everywhere in sympathy with the remonstrants and would be benefited by being enrolled and set to work as such. Of course their male relatives are usual ly enthusiastic supporters of the Man Suffrage association. = H. B. B. in Woman s Journal.

rhs snapsnder earter nna naekls.

Notwithstanding the harnesslike as- pect of the suspender garter, 1t is now made very attractive. There are tive kinds of stocking supporters One fas- tens around the waist with satin belt, very narrow in front and behind and coming well down over the hips. where the elasties are attached. One piece of elastic comes down half way to the knee, and there another piece is attach ed with buckle so as to form two sup ports for the stocking. And here's where a woman's handsome buckles from her once beloved round garters come in.
 She has one attached on each suspend CT where the two pieces of elastic are joined, and they allow the elastic to be shortened or heightened at will The stocking is caught in handsome hooks or held in place by means of gold or sill yer button and loop. The other style is more popular with stout women. The suspenders are not fastened together by means of the belt, but each is attached to the side of the corset with small gold or silver safety pin. Otherwise they are like the ones just described.
 Since the demand for handsome sus- bender garters has increased rapidly many beautiful designs have been brought out in gold and silver. The prices vary from $3 to $1o0 a pair, Usually these handsome buckles are mounted on plain narrow silk elastic, because they are supposed to make a better show that way. Most women do not think so, however, and they no sooner get hold of pair before they have the plain elastic covered with silk, satin ribbon or lace and decorated with bows of very narrow ribbon. -Philadel- phia Press.
