New York, Nov. 26.-The weeks trans,
actions in print cloths have been heavy
enough, in spite of the holiday, to offset
the production. The latter was much
curtailed during the week, the Thanks
giving shut down being the reason as
signed by many mills for closing during
the week. Although the representatives
of the Fall River advisory committee
are reported to have stated that they
had practically no cloths to sell, still
they have not advanced prices on the
lines included in the trust agreement.
The general market for staple cotton
goods has been adjusting itself to chang
ed conditions during the week. There
has been an increased inquiry for bleach
ed goods consequent on the recent reduc-
tons. but sales have not quite met the
expectations of sellers in all quarters.
Other lines of staple cottons have shown
varied results.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 26.-The cotton MAJ
ket opened steady with December point
lower and other months / TO points
higher. Trading was fairly active dnr-
ing the forepart of the session With the
level of values to 4 points over last
nights figures. The better feeling re-
suited from bullish English news, re-
ports of firmer spot markets in th,-
South, smaller port movement than an
ticipated and a growing disposition to
reduce crop estimates. Covering by
shorts was a conspicuous feature of early
doing Liverpool reports We're in posses
sion of moderate buying orders, chiefly
for the March and May deliveries.
Scalpers sided with the long contingent
for the most part. Wall street showed
increasing interest and not a few or
ders came to hand from other outside
sources, the latter, however, being mostly
limited. 1.-THE South sold quite freely on
the advance. Futures closed firm at Il
net gain of to 6 points. Trading was
very active during the last few moments
with covering the feature.
Estimated receipts at the ports: To-
day $4,000 bales against 1884 actual
last week and 63.945 last year. This
week 100000 bales against 422,521 ac-
tual last year. This week 100000 bales
against AZ, 521 actual last week and

PocKETKNIvEs FOR WOMEN.
This Account Says They All Have
Them and They Buy Them
for Themselves.

The tradition is-and maybe IL was
true ever so long ago, when woman al
ways had a kitchen knife within easy
reach-that women have no use for
pocketlnives. That is what man be-
iievcs to this day lie thinks that she
sharpens her lead pencils with her
teeth, opens her letters with a hair
pin, cuts string with scissors and bor-
rows some mans knife when there is
a can of potted ham or corned beef TO
be opened at a picnic.
But nearly every woman has a PEN
knife and finds plenty of use for IL.
Usually she has bought it herself for
she prefers that it shall not be gift.
Any man who gives a woman PEN
knife viii find himself regarded with
suspicion. 1t isn't that she is supersti-
tious. Oh, no, of course she isn't. She
will buy one for her husband or for
her son, but nevertheless she doesn't
like to be given one, and win look
askance at the dainty little implement
unless she has paid the traditional
penny for It.
MS INfNANAa NAAA AA NNRNAA AtttfrN
for women, and one OF the merchants
said the other day that one-third OF his
customers were women. This he ex-
planned by the fact that a woman will
keep a knife three times as long as a
man will. Some of the knives they
carry in stock have jeweled handles
or decorations that raise their cost
from Eve to fifty dollars. Women
don't buy such expensive ones-that
IS. not from jewelers-although they
often buy them from friends at the
price Of one cent-an astonishing bar
gain, indeed.
The popular knives for women are
tiny bits of knives, not so long as the
little finger, and sometimes not larger
than finger joint. Some Of these
dainty little knives have handles of
gold or silver studded with jewels.
Very often they have chatelaine at-
tachments or are worn with other lit
tlearticies on a chain.-Chicago Times
Herald.
