COTTON.

New York, November 2-The cotton
market exhibited considerable strength
all day and though heavy realizing was
INDUCED in from time TO time, the gen
eral trend of values being upward. The
opening was steady with prices 1 to 3
points higher on a Scurry OF shorts for
cover and fair buying for Investment
account started by firm cables, reports
that frost had visited portions of the
belt last night and indications that re-
ceipts would fall far below expecta-
tons. A further rise of / to points
Immediately following the call brought
out several important lots of old long
stuff for profits and before midday
prices had fallen to last nights level,
The weaker turn of affairs proved of
short duration, as commission house
purchases and renewed demand from the
bear side soon sent values ON the up
ward course again. Estimations for eX-
ceptionally light receipts at leading
points of accumulation tomorrow and a
forecast for frost tonight in the North
ern belt kept shorts in an unhappy frame
OF mind up to the close but did not ma
terially invigorate investment buying,
New Orleans and Europe purchased
January and March in a fair way, but
aggressive bull speculation was not a
feature.
Exporters were showing less conf
dence in their position, and as rule,
outbid American spinners.
The close was very steady at net
gain Of from one to three points.

RUsBY's PETITION.
A Request for Decision Upon the
Legality of Crosby's Candidacy.

Request Tor DeCISlOn upon inc
Legality of Crosby's Candidacy.
George A. Busby has filed his protest
against the nomination of James P.
Crosby for the common council in ward
l. In making the protest, Mr.. Busby
and his friends are guided more by
a desire to get an expert opinion on the
matter of whether a mans actlA or
legal residence should be considered the
letter of the law in a case of this sort.
The petition filed with City Clerk
Towne yesterday reads:
To the chairman and members of the
board of REGISTRARS and to the city
solicitor for the city of Worcester:
Your petitioner prays for review of
this formal protest against the printing
of the name of James P. Crosby, of 10l
Summer street. ward No. l. upon the
ballots to be used for the municipal
election for common councilman, on
Dec 70, 1899. The cause which has
made this action on the part of your
petitioner seem wise, reasonable and
just, is the act sof the republican eau
Gus of ward /, held Tuesday evening,
Nov. q, 1889, said act being the nomin-
alton of James p. Crosby, resident at
81 Prospect street. in ward Z, Tor the
common council, in violation to the re-
vised city charter
In section 8, beginning in the 21st line,
and ending in the 23d line, we find the
following: 1.-THE common council shall
consist of three members from each
ward, who shall be residents of the
wards from which they are elected.
Therefore your petitioner George A.
Busby, Of IL Lee street, ward l, claims
that he, and not James P. Crosby of 81
Prospect street, ward 2, is the candi-
date who was legally nominated by the
republican caucus, held on the before
mentioned date, having received the
second highest number of votes legally
cast.
I respectfully submit this petition to
the consideration of your honorable
board.
George A. Busby.

Going Into Commission.

Speaking of shlps and shipping,
ono ars4requently 81 water craft
going into commission" and it seems
natural that the landsman should ask.
What does the phrase mean?
The term has been misappied, ac-
cording to the staten ent of e shipping
firm, when used in connection with
merchantmen. A vessel built Tor
trade is sin business" or ~laid up"
and the term @in commission is not
applied to her except by such people
as they who go sup stairs" and "down
stairs" on a ship. " ;.
AS to yachts; the same authority
said, @When the owner raises his pri-
vate signal and has commander and
crew aboard, the yacht is in commits
sion, and this does not happen until
the vessel is in condition to 20 on a
cruise"
War vessels are in commission
when tho commanding officers flag
or pennant has been hoisted at the
main, and this again indicates that
the vessel is in active service.-New

Town Overlooked,

LIQUIDS island, on the coast of Maine,
near historic Pemaquid. in the Lincoln
county town Of Bristol, is one of the
very few places on earth where there
are no taxes. This island, otherwise
known as Muscongus, was overlooked
when Maine became a state, and was
put into no town or county. 1t is said
that during the war the people cast
their votes for time in the town of
Bristol, until some election officer dis
covered the illegality of the vote. The
island was first settled by John Loud,
deserterfrom British man-of- war, and
his great-grandchildren are now prom
inent inhabitants. By voluntary con-
tributions school is maintained, the
parents paying four dollars for each
child. The school term averages eight
months in each year, and there is an
average attendance of 10 scholars.
Catching bait for the fishermen of Bos-
ton, Gloucester and Portland is the
most profitable business of the people,
but when bait is slack in running they
turn their attention to clustering,
mackerel fishing and catching porgies
for the big oil and fertiiizing factory
opposite the island in Bristol.--Port-
