On the strength exhib- ited on this side of the Atlantic, late spe- cials from across the water brought Liver pool higher and higher until the final clos ing showed gain of 5-64ths over yester- day.

COTTON MARKET
 WAS IRREGULAR Made a Lowering Start on Dis-
 appointing Gables. A REACTION SOON SET IN Return of Full Confidence Turned the Sentiment, But Prices Again Re- acted on Heavy Realizing at
 the Close.

New York, November 21.-The cotton market today made a lowering start fol- lowing disappointing English cables, but the loss was soon recovered and a marked net gain scored a return of bull confidence, reaction abroad and substantial evidence that the public was again buyer The late market was weak under realizing. While operations were on a somewhat smaller scale there was a large trade re- corded with January and March the chief options dealt in.
 The market started steady with prices down ? to points following the disappoint- ing advices from Liverpool. Local bulls bought on the decline a wave of profit-tak- ing carried prices 10 to 12 points lower in the first hour but sentiment changed at this point and the market again exhibited pronounced strength while prices advanced well 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 kets on urgent demand from exporters and American spinners, but added that holders were offering very little cotton even at the higher prices Decreased crop esti- mates had considerable weight in strength enirg bull sentiment and a severe storm was said to be doing general damage in the central belt Throughout the day prof. it-taking was a prominent feature, and during the last hour the offerings we're very heavy As a result prices declined with a rush, At the close the market was weak and irregular, with prices 3 to points low CT.

Washington special Chicago Jour- nal: The work of distributing the rniI- lions of internal revenue stamps over the country IS performed in tRo ways. They are bought by private individuals in s1,000 lots to be retailed by them at the profit of 1 per cent permitted by the law The other way is by special stamp commissioners appointed and paid by the revenue department. About 300 such agents are maintained in che principal business centers throughout the country. Commissioner Wilson says larger commission should be allowed for distributing the stamps. Banks are quite unanimous in refusing 10 handle them. and the force of special stamp distributors has had 10 be greatly increased.

The discovery of the remains of a mastodon near Eewburgh. New York. last summer, recalls the fact that the best preserved skeleton of one of these huge animals now to be found in our museums was also discovered in a marsh near NeWburgh. That part of the Hudson Valley appears to have been a favorite haunt for these Amert- can elephants Inspection of the place where the latest discovery was made emphasizes the fact that beavers were contemporaries of the mastodons. and that beaYer-dams were as perilous as duieksanes for the massive beasts who ventured to set foot in them.
