The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK; COTTON MARKET

New York, Nov. 2l.-The cotton mar
tet to-day made a lower start follow
ing disappointing English cables, but
The loss was soon recovered and a
marked net gain scored on Il return of
bun confidence, Il reaction abroad and
substantial evidence that the public
was again buyer. The late market was
weak under realizing. While opera
tons were on q smaller scale, there
was Il large trade recorded, with Janu-
airy ana March the chief options dealt
In. The market started steady, with
prices down 2@5 points. following the
disappointing advices from Liverpool.
Local bulls bought on the decline, a
wave of profit taking carried prices 10
Ql2 points lower in the first hour, but
sentiment changed at this point and
the market again exhibited pronounced
strength, while prices advanced we'll
above the close of yesterday. The late
cables indicated nervousness among
the foreign shorts, the advices received
from the South told of higher spot mar
kcts on urgent demand from exporters
and American spinners, but added that
holders were offering but very little
cotton, even at the higher prices. De-
creased crop estimates had considcra.-
bic weight in strengthening bull senti-
ment, and n severe storm was said to
be doing general damage in the central
belt Throughout the day profit TAX
ing was n prominent feature. and dur
ing the last hour the offerings were
very heavy. AS n result. prices de-
clined with n rush. At the close the
market was weak and irregular, with
prices 3 to points lower.

How He Knew.

A ragman who was gathering up
wornout clothing in the country pur-
chased a pair of discarded trousers at
a farmhouse and remarked to the man
of the house as he paid for the stuff he
had bought:
II see, sir, that you are about to lose
your land on mortgage"
"Guess you are right" said the dis
couraged looking farmer. "but will you
tell me how the Sam Hill you found

Easy enough" said the cheerful
ragman as he settled back on the seat

RAILROAD WRECKS.
Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them without Gloves.

Them without Gloves.
when that wonderful railroad gen.
ius, the late Thomas A. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous"
said an old railroad man. Scott was
essentially man of action. For ex-
ample, at one time there occurred ON
the line a freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars in confused heap In a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
1.-The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be, cleared
away and the line reopened In less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after survey
of the wreck sent for great quantity
of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god of fire soon
removed al trace of 1t, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
"a bridge fell, and 1t was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary
Today rallroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that.
81 he last instance | remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown flood in 1889, think it was
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use of side lines, was one of the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there. he took full control, the division
superintendents from all over the line
were summoned, and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur. and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures,
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superintendent of un-
important mountain divisions. were
never again promoted. New York

Lieutenant Jones, Nerve.

"The nerviest act | know Of" said a
Kansas man while discussing the

by Lieutenant Jones of the company of
marines that took John Brown at Har-

vanced his 80 marines in a semicircle
about the armory in which Brown and
his men had taken refuge. Then Lieu

they kept shooting at him, his voice

81 WIN" AND CLOSE"
Sporting Men Ignore Their lenses
and Seem Pleased.

Sporting Men Ignore Their lenses
and Seem Pleased.
"Have you ever noticed the satisfied
manner of gamblers while twisting
their lenses into the i win and Il lose
common to the fraternity" remarked
q man who has fondness for investi-
eating the peculiarities ofthis fellows
81 have thought of that for a long
tlme-ever since that form of express
sion came into common use among
gamblers. Watch the first sport you
hear talking in that style and notice
the pleasure he seems to take in roll
ing his method of expression. The
tense he uses evidently carries him
back, and he enjoys again In the pres
ent the pleasures of the act when he
speaks of it. Even If he says he lose
it gives him qualification, according to
the philosophy of Charles Fox, who Is
authority for the statement that the
greatest pleasure in the world, next to
winning money, is to lose it.
''rhe ungrammatical fashion among
gamblers dates back about Is years.
1t seems impossible to conceive any
reason for the custom other than the
one | have mentioned. That form Of
speech is still growing in popularity.
The so called sporting men have ex-
tended the scope of the present tense to
all their verbs. 1t jars on me some
times, but even then find consolation
in the knowledge that If the sports
did not affect that particular style Of
speech 95 in 100 of them would do even
worse, and their present picturesque
defiance of grammar Is relief from
the possibilities of such expressions as
4 seen and 4 done. "-New York
Times.
