COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Dec. 12.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: The interruption of tel
egraphic communication has restricted the
volume of business. Opening easier on
the disappointed advices from Europe
the market became steady on the demand
at the basis of 7.4Oc for March From this
point the market advanced points on the
buying by the brokers of a large amount
of January and March deliveries Trading
after the closing of Liverpool was pracu-
cally restricted to this large order. The
trade are disposed to be bullsh expect
Ing that after sober considerations. Eu-
rope will accept the bureau estimate as
conservative estimate of the yield Re
ceipts at the ports show some Increase, but
those at the interior continue on mod
crate scale.
New York, Dec. 12-Murphy & Co 8
cotton letter says: The market has been
feverish and variable. AT first soft. on
unresponsive Liverpool advices failing TO
notice the bureau crop estimate of s. 300
600; then on some buying demand prices
advanced points, with few sellers. The
weekly interior shows a loss compared to
last year, and last week and fear that re-
cent heavy rains may interfere with the
port movement. Buyers felt encouraged,
but business Is not broad and the locals
play for quick turns. Late advices from
Texas are to the effect that the uncodnt-
ed interior towns are unusually full of
cotton.

GEORGIANS INVESTIGA TING SUGAR
Delegation Pays "a Visit to New Or
leans to Study Methods.


From the New Orleans Plcayune, Dec. 8.
Seventy-four years ago Georgia sent to
Louisiana a cargo of purple sugar cane,
the first ever planted in this state, so the
scientists who have studied the matter,
say. The Louisiana sugar growers planted
better than they knew, for now Georg
has come to this state to borrow that
which she sent away years ago.
If there is such a thing as romance in
industrial development then the visit of
the Georgia sugar men. who arrived yes
terday, has clinging about it one of the
prettiest little romanceS of the day. 1t is
a historical fact that in the year 1925, and
for years prior TO that date, Georgia was
the flower among all the sugar-producing
states. None of them could touch her in
the amount or the quality of her product.
In that year a cargo of the now cele-
brated purple sugar cane was loaned to
Louisiana. Yesterday a delegation of the
strongest commercial men of the state
came TO New Orleans to reclaim, to re-
cover and once again get into their pos
session The secret of sugar cane growing
and sugar making.
The party cons .sted of the following:
Cant. D. G. Purse, president of the Sa-
vannah Board of Trade, and eX-commis
sioner of the Savannah Bureau of Freight
and Transportation.

Carolyn Balestier Kipling is, like
her famous husband, averse to pub
licity. She is her husbands most ex-
acting critic, and it is said that she
saved from his waste basket the first

Paris Exposition Wonders.

If the management of the Paris ex-
position fulfills its promises, no small
number of technical marvels will be
revealed to the public in 1900. First
of all, there will be Sczepanik's much
heralded telectroscope, an instrument
which, by the aid of selenius, Is said
to have solved the problem Of cleo
trical vision.
The teiectroscope will, however, find
a rival in the telautograph invented
by Anton Pollak, Hungarian en-
gineer. The telautograph, it is claim
ed, provides means of receiving mes.
sages sent from one station to another,
in exactly the same form In which
they We're transmitted. The idea in
itself is old, but the inventor is said
to have devised an apparatus which is
entirely different from it's predeces-
sors. Pollak claims to have solved the
problem by using selenium-a metal
which is unique in possessing the
properties of conducting electricity
with a resistance which varies with
the intensity of the light that falls
upon It, The varying Illumination is
produced by treating the written tele-
gram In a peculiar manner. and the
variations in resistance effected by the
selenium are communicated to q con-
ductor to produce an increase and de
crease in the intensity of the current
passing therethrough.
According t0 Uhland's Wochensch-
rift, the Vereinigte Elektricitats -Ac-
tiengesellschaft of Budapest, has ap-
piled to the management Of the expo
sition for space in which to exhibit
the apparatus. An imperfect model is
said to be In tolerably successful oper-
alton, and to be able to transmit in
one hour 144 kilograms. each four
inches by two inches, upon which
space any number of words or char.
acters can be inscribed Scientific

The Wrong Woman.

The respectable gentleman of the
following anecdote was the victim Of
slight Misunderstanding, and prob
ably he did not forget it. He went to
the train one day to see his favorite
daughter off. Securing her seat he
went to the bookstall, and then re-
turned to her window to say parting
word, as is frequently done on such
occasions While he was away the
daughter left the seat to speak to a
friend, and at. the same time prim
old maid came In and took her place.
Unaware of the important change In
side, he hurriedly put his face up to
the window and said: zone more kiss.
sweet pet!" In another instant the
point of cotton umbrella was thrust
from the window, followed by the pas
sionate interjection, "Scat, you grey
headed wretch"
He scatted-Rival.
