nrices were confined within narrow limits.
Liverpool was lower, and prices here de-
clined in sympathy at the opening. After
the first transactions. however, the tone
became stronger in the absence of any
decided selling pressure, and prices slow
" advanced. Local shorts covered and
Liverpool bought here on moderate
scale. Before the close, however the
prices weakened again and slowly re-
coded, the market closing steady at a
slight net decline for the day. The re-
ceipts were free and the New Orleans es-
innate for tomorrow was also liberal,
but the worst feature was the stagnation
of the speculation"
New York, Jan. 25.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co say of the cotton situation: Judging
from the present movement the crop does
not seem likely to exceed S,5O0-0O bales,
and as the consumption for the past two
years has been $780, 900 bales of American
cotton, if there be no increase in the con-
sumption the visible supply must be
drawn upon to furnish the requirements
for consumption. On Sept. l, the visible
supply of American cotton was 1,042, coo
bales, reduction of 100000 bales, would
leave practically 100000 bales from
this supply, which was Swelled
100000 bales from this crop on account of
the drought Should the visible supply at
that time reach these reduced figures, We
must look back to 1890 to find any such
small visible supply. Nothing but the
extraordinary early movement last season
prevented a natural squeeze. and we
therefore feel justified in calling attention
to this situation. We have exported more
than the excess receipts over last sea-
son, which has come in sight, and certain
long staple lines have become exhausted.
Agents of American spinners are now en-
quiring in Liverpool for shipment to Amer
lea. In the meantime Europe is heavily
short of cotton in this market, and with
a small speculation we have so far failed
to respond to the decreasing movement,
though the demand for cotton in the south
has advanced the markets there in several
instances above our quotations..

HIS FIRST LOVE AN OLD LOVE
Harry Payne. Aged 1S, Marries Miss
Annie Allis, Aged 35.

Soutbold. n. Y. Aug. 23.-Harry NJ. Payne
of tbis place, aged eighteen, was several
days ago married to Miss Annie A. Allis,
his tutor w no Is seventeen years his senior.
Young Payne was the w hiskered boy
who figured SO prominently last winter in
fraeas at I-afa yette College, where several
of his fellow students forced him into a
barber shop and shaved his whiskers
PayHe's marriage was first made known
today in a letter which the boy wrote TO
his father and mother. The letter was
dated Montreal, and stated that Payne
would remain there and finish his educa
ton, while his bride boarded Neither
Orrin F Payne. the father, nor the boys
mosher knew of their sons intentions
Payne met Miss Alis at Southold
cadfiny. It was soon evident that the
boy, although then but fifteen, was in
fatuateG with the school teacher. The
other students noticed this, and began TO
guy Payne. At the academy door ae
would wait to walk home with [ he teacher,
and would even miss his lessons that he
might remain in her company. The STU
dents one day took Payne into the base
ment, and there scrubbed him with soap
and water from head TO foot, and other
wise plagued him.
His father and mother are heartbro ken
over his adventure.

her regards to Picard. She refused to see
Rooney.
At 9o'clock tonight Rooney was standing

The girl sprang away, and in an instant

Mr.. Mckinley Is not worth much as u
casuist. He is quotes as saying that the
bonn in the West undoubtedly is owing
TO the disasters OF other countries, but
the boom in the East must be considered
as resulting from the policy of the Re
publican party. The only result, to date.
of that policy has been the pIundrring
of returned tourists from Europe, who
have been compelled to pay more than
cost price in duties on womoat clothing.
If Mr.. Mckinley read the papers, it is
probable he would recognize some connee-
ton between the wheat boom in the
West and the wheat boom i'll the New
York market That is the only boom
wnich, so far. has natcrialized.

To Washington Women.

Thousand of noble American women are
rushing 10 the rescue of the poor Cuban
girl, Evangelina Cossio y Cisneros. Among
them are the leaders of thought, society,
literature and good works in our country
They nfustsuop short at the point of humble
petition to tile auhorIttes OF a fiendish and
butcheTly foieign government. They must
compel their husbands, fathers, brothers
and SOFAS 70 move in one great indi gnant
body of American manhood upon their
own caIlous and cruel authorities, and
force them to take action for the relief
end Cor the release OF this innocent and
persecuted sister.
Evangclna CiSnerus, for year, has
been confined in the horrible jail devoted
to the punishment of the most criminal OF
the abandoned women of Havana She
has suffered untold agunies, augmented
by smallpox, malarial fever, and all the
miscries Of foul and vermin-fnfected cell
News received from Havana yesterday
would convince any one that word from
orr Government instructing Consul General
Lee to Interfere IN her behalf would be
productive Of immediate results.
Perhaps it would be going too far for
the wcmen of Washington 10 make di-
rect demand upon President Mckinley TO
use Lis prerogative as the Chief Magis-
trate OF the paramount American nation
TO dcmaEJ the release of this innocent
young sufferer; bat they may not think
SO, AMI certainly We DO not.
It IS peri cctly feasible for Mr.. Nc
Knley to say the word which VIII free
this poor girl, place her under the care
OF Gen Lee and his wife and procure
her a refuge among the charitable women
Of the United States.
The effort Of doing this act of com.
mon humanity might detract slightly from,
the ease and comfort of the President s
summer outing; but we misjudge him il
he would not enjoy his yachting trip on Mr.
Hanna's ralatial steamer all the better
for having said the word VIII the women
OF Washington fail to call his attention to
this sacred duty, and in terms that win
compel compliance?

spout the waterspouti 1t gives Ohio occu-
patton while she waits for that prospe rity.
