key and Greece. AS had beed expected,
the effect upon the cotton market was
neither great nor permanent and prices
nave recovered the loss that was made
early in the week, and have even estab-
hshed an advance above the figures that
were current just before the declaration.
Liverpool astonshed the partisans of lower
prices by again advancing to-day. Our
market opened two points higher. The
selling to realize was quite pronounced,
but the demand, consequent upon the good
spot business and the covering of short
contracts was even greater and prices ad-
vanced still further after the opening. The
close was firm at the best figures of the
day. August opened at 7.20c, advanced
slowly to 7.25c and closed at 7.2417. 25c. The
advance this week has been caused solely
by the splendid spot demand from every
where There has been no speculative
enthusiasm whatsoever. and the report
concerning the next crop from the south,
have been decidedly more favorable. The
advices from those sections which have
been overlooked by the Mississippi river,
however, are still gloomy and this, in
measure, has offset the more encoura ging
news from the other localities. Sentiment
here has not changed and is still distinct
ly bearish, but operators are extremely
cautious in putting out short lines. 1t
looks if the advance will be gradual and
on its merits, for spectators are not in
clined to enter the market. Any crop
scare, however, would cause such a rush
of buying as has not been seen here in a
long time. The statistical position is
very strong and keeps growing stronger
and Liverpool apparently, is not inclined
to ignore this feature. We believe that
cotton is intrinsica,Iy worth its present
price and more and we favor buying on
all breaks"

THE LANGUAGE OF CRIME.
Thieves Have Nearly one Hundred
Expressions 10 signify Theft.

AhieVes nave nearly One Hundred
Expressions 10 Signify Theft.
A. +. b. Crofton. in Popular Science
Monthly
The language of criminals-the argot Of
Paris, the ''patter'' OF London-has been
carefully Investigated by numerous writ
ers, with very variant results.
Its origin is difficult to explain. Criml-
nails say many authors. have found II
necessary to adopt technical language
for their own protection, that they may be
able TO converse in public without being
understood. They have been forced to do
this, and have made language as slnis-
ter and as vile as themselves" This
theory cannot be admitted. Certainly the
argot is sinister and vile, and thoroughly
representative Of the class that uses ii,
but further than this we cannot go.
The theory that the use Of this dialect
is Of any assistance 20 the criminal is in
admissible. Most policemen and all prison
officers know this slang, sometimes better
than the thieves. To speak II in the hear
ing OF a detective is to invite arrest; 10
speak II In the presence Of the general
public would arouse suspicion and attract
attention-two things which are especially
70 be avoided. Why, then, does II exist?
DR.. Laurent of the Sante prison in Paris,
has given an explanation which has at
least nothing TO contradict IL. The per-
sons engaged In every trade form a species
Of dialect or technical phraseology which
is spoken and understood only by them
selves Criminals, who practice a trade
as old as any, have gradually acquired a
language more adapted TO their wants,
more In keeping with their ideas and
thoughts. Miserable, heartless, engaged
In a perpetual struggle against morality
law and decency, they have acquired a
language OF debased words and synlcal
metaphors. a language Of abbreviated ex-
pressions and obscene synonymes.
The general tendency OF the criminal 70
reduce the abstract to the concrete, 20 de-
note the substantive by one OF It's attrab-
butes, is shown very clearly In his synec-
dochical phraseoogy. Thus a purse is a
leather" street car Is a short" com
pairing It's length with a railroad car; a
handkerchief is a wipe" and a pair of
shoes "a pair OF kicks"
Again, some OF the terms appear 20 be
purely arbitrary. and were II not that the
creative power Is as absent In criminals
as IN women should not hesitate 20 state
Il az a fact. But II seems wiser 20 con-
clude merely that the origin OF these terms
has become Obscured TO suppose that they
were created would be In too distinct con-
tradictlon 10 all obtainable evidence lndi-
rect though u may be. Such expressions
are 90 KIP" meaning 10 sleep; TO spiel"
20 make a speech: "lerve," a waistcOat
pocket; "thimble," watch 20 do a
lam" meaning 10 run.
Some Of the expressions are descriptive
To run from a police officer ls 70 do a
