INDIFFERENT MARKET.
Transaction Light in the Entire List
of Months.

New York, Aug 5.-After opening dun
but steady at precisely last nights prices,
the cotton market displayed almost no
signs of life. None of the commission
houses appeared 90 have orders and the
room element was indifferent Business
during the first hour was confined TO
few scattering evening up" trades IN
three options. Nothing in the shape of in-
fiuential news came to hand to break up
the monotony. There were no cables from
Liverpool-being closed till Tuesday in OBJ
servance of the bank holidays. The crop
information in evidence was meager and
indicated not the slightest change in af
fairs in the belt within the past twenty
four hours. The weather was hot and
dry from coast to coast
Weekly statements from New England
cloth markets were of the most reassur-
ing character, noting large demand and
Wei sustained prices. Futures closed dun,

STOCK MARKET QUIET.
The Days Dealings, However, Re
Elected of Speculation.

New York, Aug. 5.-There was not much
doing in the stock market to-day. The
half-holiday on Saturday takes away many
active operators on holiday trips. The
London exchange was closed and will be
again on Monday. thus subtracdhg an ap-
preciable factor in the usual activity.
Nevertheless. the days dealings We're "a
fairly accurate reelection OF speculative
opinion on general conditions. There was
some disposition TO advance prices in the
early dealings on account of uniformly
favorable reports of business - al
branches contained in the weekly reports
OF commercial agencies. But this very
condition is a factor in the anxiety over
the money outlook, which again dom.nat-
ed seit meut as the time approached for
the publication of the weekly bank state
ment.
Money is in such large demand that the
availa bic. supply for speculative uses is
greatly curtaled. The bank statement.
when 1t appeared, was again weak beyond
all expectation. With forced liquidation
IN progress at some points in Europe and
with a possible demand for money to move
the crops, the statement brought selling
OF stocks and a general sharp decline. ST.
Pau and Omaha, Pittsburg, c., c. and
St. L. and Kansas City, Pirtsburg ana
Gulf, however, rose from II to Pa
American Smelling and American Car
preferred showed some signs OF strength.
Otherwise The market closed weak and
lower all around
The activity in the bond market during
the week has been the greatest in the
speculative issues, which have advanced.
Changes generally have been small.

The Loving Gun,
he Shoe and Leather Reporter.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter
The loving cup is historical emblem. In
the middle ages at the close Of an enter
tainment the parting guest was presented
with spiced drink in large bowl lust as
he was mounting his horse. 1t was called
the "stirrup cup" Sometimes when the
friendship between host and guest was a
pretense and not a reality the drink was
poisoned, or perhaps while drinking the
guest was murdered. These were frequent
occurrences among italian mobiles and to
put a stop to them the clergy introduced
the loving cup, which had three handles
Two OF these were grasped by the host who
drank first to show that the liquor was not
poisoned. The guest then took the cup by
the third. The host released one handle
the right hand still holding one, so that he
might help raise the cup and incidentally
SO that his right hand might be too busy
TO draw sword dagger When the
guest had drunk, the host released the cup.
which was passed to the next one The
monks in early times named this the .'po-
cuia caritatis,' or Cup of Love- 1t was
filled with wine with a piece of toast float
ing therein and circulated from right to
left around the table. Hence the phrase

What Two Bullets Did.

From Leslie's Weekly.
On the cot beside that of Edwards Law a
rough rider, Walter S. Beebe, another fever
victim and twice wounded, a cut through
the arm on July j, and a revolver bullet in
the left leg on July q
It's only couple of weeks" said Beebe,
since they got that bullet out of me- They
located il at last with the X-rays Here It
is. See! It's my opinion that bullet came
from one of our own sfx-shooters 1t was
all foolishness, the reckless way the boys
shot off their revolyers in the charge.
To show you the queer things some of
those bullets did FL tell you a thing | saw
IN the Las Guasimas fight. There was a
man near me as We went along who STOP
ped to break off a stick in the shrub.
guess he wanted to make a ramrod of IL
II he hadn't stopped he might never have
peen Killed, but just as he had broken the
suck and was twisting the last fibers apart
a Mauser bullet went straight through his
head, and he dropped to his knees. His
hands stil clutched the branch he was
breaking, and, as he knelt there. another
bullet came and cut through the broken
wood, so that he held his ramrod free. He
mad got what he stopped for"

China's First Railway.
From the Engineering Magazine.

rum the engineering Magazine.
The first railroad constructed in China
was narrow gauge line from Shanghai to
Woosung, put down in 1876, and intended
chiefly as an ocular demonstration to the
Chinese. AT the end of twelve months it
was sold to Chinese official who straight
way tore up the rails and deported them to
Formosa. The single dummy engine of the
line now reposes peacefully in the mud of
some Formosan harbor, together with the
wreck Of the junk in which 1t was trans
ported. During these twelve months of its
existence the Shanghai Woosung railroad
with its single dummy engine and its train
OF small cars, which. by the way, were of
the American pattern, carried three hum
