DOES 1T PAYe

The all-absorbing portion of any
enterprise we may enter is: ''Will
it pay?" The cash return is what
we are all after. Let us look at
the ordinary calling Of the forger,
bank-sneak, burglar or hold-up
artist from this point Of view.
Just run back over your memory
to see if you can pick out some
living or dead example of a Grim
inal whose life could answer such
question in the affirmative. Take
even our defaulting bank presi-
dents, cashiers, or other plutocratic
boodlers. Is there one among
them who will say he made a good
business stroke in acquiring a
large amount of ready cash by I'M
derhand means? Hardly; even to
those who succeed in escaping
with their Doodle no happiness
comes. Expatriated and without
friends save the hawks attracted
by chance of sharing some of the
ill-gotten lucre life is no more
pleasant to him than it is to the
ordinary prisoner serving SEN
tence.
Take it among the smaller thieves
who run the most hazardous
chances for a trifiing gain if they
are successful. The man who
waylays a pedestrian not knowing
whether he will find five cents or
five dollars in his pocket does not
show much business sagacity. If
caught his punishment will be
from five to twenty-five years i'm
prisonment. If he succeeds in
getting his victims money how
long does it last him? Say it is
one hundred dollars-a large
amount for man to carry after
business hours-does the robber
ever make any good use of it? No:
he only uses it to drive another
nail in his coffin. The drunken
orgies of one or two nights will
melt his hundred to nothing. So
that for the 'enjoyment'' of a few
days, usually in debauchery, a man
is willing to risk passing a large
part of his life in prison. Is any
one senseless enough to say that
such foolhardiness pays?
It is practically the same in
every line of crime-it is a very
poor paying business even if you
are successful at it. It would be
useless to go into the details of
other and lesser offenders. What
motive incites one to the commits
sion of some phases of robbing is
beyond all comprehension. There
never was and never will be any
pecuniary gain in robbery. One
man may succeed in decamping
with considerable sum: but
where this one accomplishes that
feat ninety-nine others succeed in
getting into prison. And the
formers apparent good fortune is
very soon overshadowed by the
continual nagging of conscience.
He is in mental dread at all times
and seldom enjoys the least pleas
ure though he has money to

Cotton Letter.

New York. Dec. 1.-The tendency of the cotton market was steadily downward today Each point, however, was bitterly contested, and the net decline Is small Only Liverpool was practically unchang- ed this morning, and our market opened at last nights closing figurss, January selling on the first call at 5,70. Liverpool sent SoCne selling orders here; the bears plucked up sufficient courage Ito raid "a little and people with large spot con- nections sold heavily. Against this the buying was by the commission houses. There was decidedly more disposition to sell than for some time past, and only the iexcellent demand prevented a break Receipts were comparatively light put the south was offering cotton more free ay. January declined Ito 5.65 and closed at that figure, with rtfpa tone of the mar ket barely steady. Unless receipts be- come moderate in the near future, lower prices are probable.

Dry Goods.

New York, Dec. 1.-The dry goods market shows signs of an increase of interest in some quarters, although the tone of the market shows no advance of moment. The reductions in staple cali coes on the part of Merrimacs and Americans was followed by a reduction of Algonquin indigo prints and there s g. stimulation of interest in nearly all lines of fancy cottons, printed and woolen goods. This is not, however, true of staple cottons in any grade not print cloths. In prints the attest price to be made in indigoes shows a 21sc reduction in Algonquin indigo blues. This is in conformity with the market as made by the Merrimacs and American blues. Trade in these lines has not been stimu- lated to any great extent by the steady quotations, and buyers stll clanor for concessions. The trade in spring fancies, both in prints and in organdiss and other similar goods, has been quite fair
 Gtnghams are active, and mapped fab rics show satisfactory conditions in the main.

Grain Letter

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The wheat market was quite bullish on ths' opening but af- ter selling up about 1ac receded to 1c loss for the day. The market was weak on heavy sslling and reports of good snows covering the wheat and protecting it from the heavy freezes. Several large lots of wheat were turned over this morn- ing and this helped to send wheat down. There was not great deal of local trad ing today, and most of the trading done was professional. Corn, oats and provs- ions were dull and remained about the same prices that they started in for the day.
 May wheat opened at SIS, sold up to 91h@91ss and closed with a weak feeling on account of the prospective weather reports and heavy receipts estimated for tomorrow both at Chicago and the north- west. H. H. SMITH & co.
