vices were favorable today, but despite
their upward tendency our market has been
less active and somewhat heavier in tone
than for some time past Port receipts
are reported at less than 10000 bales and are
the real factor In the market. Other than
the small receipts there has been no con-
spicuous feature and sentiment seems to
favor waiting. The options show from

And at Zone Time the Market Showed
Net Loss of 5 to 9 Points from

Small. s-s

New York, February Robustness was
quite lively on the opening call, but soon
disappointed the hopes of the bull contin-
gent. English cables averaged better than
had been expected, showing an advance of
LEA yesterday and increasing the advance
by about 1s-64 today, the Liverpool market
closing at net gain of 1s@11a-64 on Tues
days final figures. This and reports of
very bad weather in the south caused a
firm feeling at the beginning of the call,
when March contracts started at an add
vance of points. But the bull energy soon
petered out, the market weakening as the
call progressed and the cali averaged a
gain of only 1@2 points.
Still later the weakness became more pro-
nounced, and at one time the market show
ed net loss of 5Gp9 points from the call
prices, March showing the greatest decline.
The greatest decline from Tuesday nights
prices was also on March, a matter OF
points, with the market finally barely
steady at a net loss of los points. The
general volume of business was small. Ii
quotation was the feature. The selling was
extensively for southern and European ac-
counts.

AN INTRODUCTION.
As 1t Was Ratified on by one OF
Those IrreDressible Entertain
ment Recommenders.

Two who were on the lecture bu-
reau's circulars as novelist and
poet" were to give a literary enter
tainment in a southern KntuclSy town.
The distinguished citizen Of the place
had been selected, by some authority
or other, to introduce the entertainers
TO the audience.
Why that thing should be done is yet
to be accounted for, as ii is nearly al
ways certain that the Introduction
knows as little, or as much. Of the in.
troductee as the audience does In
this instance, it is to be hoped. he knew
less.
The distinguished citizen having in
quired what he shoSld say, and having
been commended TO his own good judg
ment, buttoned his ample coat across
his spacious abdomen and proceeded
after all three of us had stepped upor
the stage. He said;
Ladies and gentlemen-fellow-citi
zens; 1t is my pleasure TO Introduce
10 you two gentlemen whose names ar,
known wherever the language is spols
en-. Their names are household words
and they are brilliant in the world o.

SPINACH FOR SPRING.
An Excellent Substitute for Med
icine When One Is Not
Quite Well

We are all familiar with the patent
medicine sign which commends itself
to us by these cabalistic words. For
that tired feelingl" Now, those who
may object TO buying bosAs and bot
ties Of this cure for wearnpss may OBJ
tain the same results by liberal use
of common, everyday spinach. The
French call this homely vegetable the
scavenger of the stomach, and now our
own medical men are awakening to the
wonderful medicinal properties Of spin
ach. It contains salts Of potassium,
iron and other things which conduce TO
a good complexion, long life and a
cheerful disposition.
The man with a disordered liver and
the woman with a bad complexion
should contract the spinach habit and
these things viii be rectifed. The chem
list Bingo says that this article Of food
contains more iron to the square inch
than "the most renowned ferruginous
remedies
So convinced has the medical profess
sion become Of the value Of the once
AtNllirSA = lAnaAA mat otAoAAAhH ~ AHN
Sanitary Record, 'it is already an ac-
tive ingredient in several new and sala-
bic tonics."
The iron in spinach is easily assim-
Hated and the vegetable is easily d.
gested The fact that spinach has
such a remarkable effect upon the
complexion will recommend Il 10 the
girls, and its beneficial effects upon the
liver will recommend II to the men.
For ''next morning" nothing is 50
good as a hearty breakfast of spinach
In short, the virtues of the vegetable
are so numerous that IL would take a
long time to tell them, but if the spin
ach habit grows to anything like the
proper ton reached by the oatmeal
habit we shall shortly turn into a
strong. iron built, fresh compleXioned
anti-bilious nation. - y. Y. Herald.

A BIT OF LACE.

Plain Gown--It Has other Uses
AZ Wen.

The possessor Of even the smallest
bit of choice lace should regard it as
treasure and keep it among her pre-
cious things. Lace. though so fragile,
is nevertheless among those imperish-
able articles which, handed down in
families. go from mother to daughter
and are as useful TO the third genera
ton as they were to the FIRST, A certain
fine sentiment clings TO the lace which
has been used at weddings and chris
Jennings. which has formed part OF the
graudmother's trOusseau, and long
after she has done with IL adorns the
wardrobe of some youthful bride, who
repeats in her features the charms Of
her ancestress.
There are limitations OF lace made to-
day which almost counterfeit the real in
the fineness of their threads, the beauty
Of their designs. and the intricacy of
their meshes; nevertheless, no ma
chine-made Imitation ever completes in
true value with bit Of lace patiently
wrought by hand perhaps in some quiet
convent, where the nuns work hour by
hour, stopping only to count the
beads on their rosaries or chant
their songs of praise; or made by a
peasant woman a the intervals of heI
busy day, that she may thus earn heI
childrens bread. Poverty and Patio.

lace which completes the toilet Of tn,
bride, and in the delicate edge Of tho
same on the cap of the aged matrou, OF
the gossamer handkerchief which fin
ishes the costume OF the great lady.
The plain gown fashioned without re
gard to reigning styles takes on al
air of its own, If bit of beautiful laci

is seldom out of vogue, though there
are seasons like the present when III
use is more general than at others
when the lace shawls, long laid away
in lavender, emerge from their seclu
sion and are fashioned into capes, over
dresses and drapery to heighien thu
lavish finery of a modern belle.
Regarded as a gift, nothing is NOR
suitable as an Offering from friend Il
friend at a birthday, wedding or hol
iday occasion than a bit Of fine lace
The woman is far TO seek who is in
different to its spell, and who does no
love TO look over her laces as she look
at her jewels, finding both among tn
delights of her life.
Not only has lace its use in the toilet
, it finds an appropriate place in bed
: spreads, doilies and scarfs for burea
and table ornamentation. For thes
homelier uses heavier and more elat
crate style of lace is chosen than 70
the daintier needs of the toilet.-Hai
