COTTON MARKET VAS ERRATIC YESTERDAY This Condition Afforded Bulls and
 Bears Advantage. CLOSED QUIET AND STEADY Liverpool Market Swung Completely Around Near the Close and Badly
 Frightened Shorts-WildR Ru- ~s t~ mors in Circulatian
 
CLOSED QUIET AND STEADY

New York. July 20-Interest in the cotton market showed abatement today and a large portion of the business done repre- sented withdrawals by operators from each side. The course of pendulations was too cratic to afford bulls or bears marked ad- vantage and increased the tmidity in out side speculative circles caused by the sen sational political news from China. The opening was easy, with first sales showing a drop of 6 to Il points. The weakness did not culminate until August had fallen to 907 and January to S10. The South, the West, the foreign element and the room trade all sold freely on the slump, traders giving Special attention to the August op- ton.
 The cables received just after our open ing conveyed the impression that longs in Europe were distrustful and inclined to unload as a matter of precatuion. But with startling rapdity sentiment in the Liver pool market swung completely around near the close and badly frightened shorts here. Prices advanced with rush, August climb ing to 927 and January to S.16 before a breathing spell was taken. Before midday a partial relapse set in. Rumors gained circulation to the effect that influential Flu ropean bulls had formed a strong clique to bulge tn esummer months. This story lacked continuation but kept shorts on the uneasiness seat the greater part Of the ses- sion. The market closed quiet and steady, with prices net unchanged to points lower.

When a person comes into "Old Man
Smiths cigar store and hands him
money in return for something pur-
chased, the old man can ascertain BY a
single glance or touch whether the
money is good OF counterfeit. II the
money is bad. he puts it under the to-
bacco cutter. or his money tester, as he
calls II, and sewers it in two.
One day last week a rough looking
young man came into his store and
asked for a piece of chewing tobacco.
AT the same time he laid a 30 cent
piece lightly on the counter. The old
man picked up the money and looked
at it. 1t had a dull color and was not
as heavy as an ordinary half dollar,
The proprietor walked over to where
the tobacco a and, taking down d
piece Of the brand the young man had
called for, he pretended to put it under
the tobacco cutter, but instead he slip
ped in the counterfeit piece and cut it
into halves. He then handed the two
pieces to the young mar and command
ed him to 4get, which he promptly
did.-Chicago Record.

THE BAND PLAYED DIXIE
Sousa Won the Hearts Of the
People 1t Fayetteville.

And sousa Won the Hearts Of the
People at Fayetteville.
When North Carolina celebrated its
centenary, the Marine band was order
ed to Fayetteville to participate In the
ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa.
The little southern town was much in.
terested in the advent OF the Hpresi
dents band,'' and the prevailing opin.
ion was that Dixie would be tabooed
music with US. Before the exercises d
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie was a popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, eve
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember
sir, that we are very fond Of Dixie
here,
Bowling gravely, I thanked the com
mittee for their interest in my pro.
gramme, but left them completely In
the dark as to whether / intended to
play the loved song OF the south or not.
The ceremonies opened with a patri.
cite address by Governor Fowle laud.
ing the glories Of the American flag,
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
sic to such a sentiment was saThe Star
Spangled Banner which the crowd
patriotica1ly cheered.
The tone OF the succeeding Grafton
was equally feryid, but the speaker en-.
larged upon the glories Of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniYer-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down, and there was a momentary
pause, and then as I raised my baton
the strains Of ..Dixie" fell upon the de
lighted airs of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened, and
such a shout as went up from that
throng I have never heard equaled.
Hats were tossed In the air, gray hair
ed men embraced, and for d few min
utes a jubilant pandemonium reigned
supreme. During the rest Of our stay
in Fayetteville the repertory OF the Ma
rine band was on this order: Yankee

soning. AS Bill Nye used to say
for a man who thinks that way that's

No; deeds Of fame enshrined his name.
No laurel wreath or bay,
And vet he made earth happier;
He whistied on the wayt
When sorrow frowned and stars were drowned
In stormy skies and gray,
He saw the light stream through the night;
BE whistled on the wayl
And even grief found sweet relief.
Hope shed q brighter ray, Ia
And hearts he knew not blessed him ~
For whistling on the wayl
And when from LIES dark shadows
He passed into the day
They wrote above this line Of love,
He whistled on the wayl"

New York IL ProyanefaI.

Perhaps there is no city quite 50 pro-
}vincial as New York. says a. Maurice
Low in The Atlantic, due to the fact
that the average New Yorker, whether
in society Or business, has got into the
habit Of patronizing the inhabitants Of
any other city. The New York bust
ness man eompiacently feels that the
rest OF the country is financed BY New
Fork and must do as New York tells 1t.
The society man or woman Of New
York believes that outside sof New
York, with few exceptions, there ii no
society worthy OF the name. and what
society does exist is merely d bad imi-
tation OF IFS New York prototype.

THREW EGGS AT BRYAN
\ Chicago Man Thus Gets Into Trouble
In Chicago

Chicago, November -Four eggs
were thrown at w. j. Bryan tonight
just as he left the Central Turner hall,
where he had concluded his address.
The eggs were thrown by three or four
young men, one of whom, John R.
Myers, a sign painter, was placed I'M
der arrest. The other men escaped.
Mr.. Bryan had just passed through
the door of the building and was walk
ing toward his carriage When our eggs
whizzed at almost the same moment
over his head and struck in the crowd
beyond which was waiting to greet
Mr.. Bryan as he left the hall.
One of the 6 which lacked a great
deal of being fresh, struck Policeman
Culkins squarely On the forehead and
streamed down his face. Culkins saw
the men who threw the eggs n made
a rush for them. Myers was the only
man whom he could catch, the others
slipping away in the crowd.
The hall was surrounded by a large
crOwd and as soon as it became known
that eggs had been thrown at Mr.. Bry-
an, the excitement was intense. A
hundred men made a rush for the priS-
Oner and it was only by desperate eff
forts hat CulkinS managed to hold on
to his prisoner. Several officers came
to his assistance and all the officers
were compelled to use their club be-
fore the crowd would give ground and
allow the man to be placed in the pa
troll wagon.
When locked up at the police station,
Myers declared positively hat he had
thrown no eggs at Mr.. Bryan PERSONAL
ly and had no intention of hitting him.
He declared that in his anxiety to OBJ
tain a good view of the candidate as
he left the hall, he had crowded close
to the carriage and that the driver a
struck him with his whip in order to
make him stand bac He returned
to where his friends were standing n
they promptly hurled the eggs at the
driver, n that just as they did so.
Mr.. Bryan came through h doorway.
Myers declared that he was a demo-
crat and never would have thought Of
throwing eggs at the candidate Of his
party. He declined to give the names
of his companions, and could give no
explanation of why they a come to
the meeting carrying bad eggs in their
pockets.
