The Cotton Markets.

New York, Jan. 30.-The broadening
tendency of speculation in cotton was
stli marked to-day. contrary to the
expectation of some traders who looked
for quite general liquidation of long
cotton. Wall street houses, however.
We're again active buyers, and other
outside support contributed to s;imu-
late the early market In the face of
prepare ton on the part of local traders
for setback of prices. The trading
commenced. on the first call, at I'M
changed prices, but finished at an adj
vance OF points. Fluctuations for the
rest of the day, while numerous, were
not extensive. According to accounts
from Southern spot markets American
spinners were having difficulty to get
suitable supplies at prices which the
quotations on the manufactured pro-
duct would justify. while competition
was sharp between the Spinncrs of this
country and Great Britain and the Con-
tinent. Private wires stated that hold
crs OF spot cotton in the South were
inclined to take an arbitrary view OF
the situation on this account. and for
other reasons. notably the claims Of
decreased acreage next year and the
evidence that they had of an unusually
SLOW market for fertilizers. On the
other hand the public English cables
were disappointing. especially in regard
TO spot sales at Liverpool. Cables
brought selling orders and n large
amount of selling was done for foreign
account without breaking the market
seriously: most of the cotton being alb
sorhed by Wall street people and par
lies operating for a large Philadelphia
house Transactions including many
exceptionally heavy blocks during the
forenoon. when it was a battle of the
giants. Later the market simmercd
down little. turning easy under real
ring near the close. Tho market,
finished the day steady in tone, with
prices to points net lower.

An Illustration.

There's something to be said upon
both sides of every question. For ex-
ample: Mr.. Smith, an acquaintance OF
ours, bought q ticket on the Sound
steamer, and at the same time asked
for q stateroom. He was Informed
that all the rooms were taken. This
was discouraging to Smith, but happy
thought struck him.
II asked to have a room held for me, !"
be said
ooh, you did?" asked the ticket sell
er What name, please"
Smith"
After examining his memorandum
the ticket seller said:
BEG pardon, sir; see there are two
rooms held for you, Numbers Al and
A."
81 don't understand that" said the
other, 81 only wanted one room. III
take AZ, IL you please"
So he got his room all because his
name was Smith; which shows that 1t
Is a good thing to have name that is
somewhat common. But you ask,
"How about the Mr.. Smith who lost
one Of the two rooms he had engagedT'
Why that proves what we started out
with, that there's something to be said
on both sides Of every question.

Five Generations.

A unique experience has fallen to the
lot of an old fisherman living in the vii

A. curious clause, taking one right
back to the middle ages, appears in the
title deeds Of house which is now to
be sold in the village Of Offham, in
Kent. Scheduled as part Of the mes
suages, lands, hereditaments and prem
ises," is the village quintain, which
still swings on It's stout oaken post be-
fore the house, and the purchaser must
covenant to keep the relic Of bygOne
pastime in good repair. One end Of the
swinging crossbar Of this quintain (said
to be the only surviving specimen in
England is shaped like q square tar

into which the point Of the players

would swing round, and unless the play

the other end of the crossbar would
swing round and unseat him. Here is

alism. The owner has only to don the
contemporary costume, tilt at the quin-
tain, and imagine that the clock has
been put back a few centuries.-West-
