HR2 8DF .ANCE IN
 CJTTON MARKET Ffica Went Sixteen to Twenty
 Points Higher. A BREAK IN LIVERPOOL
Heavy Buying Orders Game from Every Direction Official Declarations Made That Receipts May be
 Expected to Fall Off

New York. September 27.--After very exciting day the market for cotton futures closed at a net advance of 16@20 points. This represents a rise since the bull move- ment set in of cross points.
 I he highest price recorded today, as con- trasted with the close of ten days ago, showed a gain of T points. The opening of the market found ideas very muen mixed, owing to the break of points at Liverpool. Less confident holders were ia- olined to unload wien October had been reached on the call. with the result that near months developed declined of 1@5 points.
 Bull enthusiasm soon overcame the ap- prehensions of smaller longs. as support in the shape of very heavy buying orders came in from all directions, and before the opening call had been disposed of a rise of 2d4 points on the far months had taken place. From this time on there was scarce ly a wavering in the upward movement and at no time was the market quiet The E,lI- ropean cotton traders abandoned their at titude and a general break to cover Was made in Liverpool, prices at the latter point showing a net rise of the day Of 36tt points The Liverpool market closed eX- cited and irregular. Conspicuous among buyers locally were well-known New Or. leans and Philadelphia export houses ard representatives of eastern cotton mills.
 Bullish sentiment was engendered in in- vestment circles by private and official declarations that receipts might be expect ed 10 fall off, and on news of prices in southern markets had again advanced t-16c to Ac al many points. rodays pert re- eeipts fell 5C0 bales behind estimates and over 1O,00O bales behind the amount Ie- eeived the same day last year.

STYLES IN FACES.
TSpicaI Beauty Of the EMd of the
Twentieth Century-The Beauty
of a Hundred Years Ago.

From the Boston Transcript.
Every age has its own style of face
and features due possibly to the fashions
Of the day which impress themselves even
in the expressions of the human countc-
nance. No who studies modern por-
traiture can fail to note the resemblance
that runs through the works of the fash
icnable painters. 1t is not merely their
characteristics style. but the type which
they have transferred to canvas, and which
almost borders on sameness.
These well-born. carefully trained beau
ties of to-day are as much alike as peas in
pod. They only vary in degrees. of
course the artist .'idealiZes:' he would not
be an artist did h. not find more Ill the
face before lis easel than the sitter sees
