 New Orleans, October 20.-Developments in the cotton market this week were some what in favor of lower prices in that the movement run heavier than expected with no activity in the spot market to offsa. it. But at Fall River there has developed q feeling of cautiousness, spinners refusing to enter into contracts deliverable in the spring, and for this reason their weekly takings are not larger. Southern fnflfs, however, are busy again, and are consum- ing 5000 bales weekly, or more than they ever did From Liverpool there was re- ceived more hopeful cables today, one of which read: Think the consumption is greatly underestimated,' and another, "Ex- pect spinners to increase their takings soon," while another thought the decline would hardly proceed further. Therefore the news from the manufacturing districts is friendly to the market, and If 1t be fol- lowed by an increased demand for spots

New York, October 2O-The Commercial- Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 Business on the Stock Exhange today was much brisker than it is usually on Satur- day owing to the strong feeling on the an- nouncement of the Anglo-German agree ment to maintain in China the open door without partition But the weakness Of New York exchange checked the advance of British eonsols. The American depart ment was especially active Professional speculators were heavy buyers but many dealers awaited today for the first time in many months for the opening of Wall street. Berlin bought Northern Pacific shares in spite of the overnight selling or ders from New York Silver was strong on the short settlement, the Russo-China and general speculative demands.

BETTER FEELING
 IN COTTON MARKET Prices Stinened on Support Of
 Room Traders, THE NEWS WAS CONFLICTING Favored Bulls, However, and Gave Firm Tone to the Market-Close
 Was Steady at from 8 to
 13 Points Higher
THE NEWS WAS CONFLICTING

New York, October 20.-The cotton mar ket opened barely steady, with prices point higher to points lower but soon turned firm on room support and light for eign buying, with the demand from the South something of feature News was too conflicting to permit of definite opin- ions being formed, but the later informal tion favored the bulls and led to moderate general buying. The English cables aver aged up against the bears, while the bulls had to contend with liberal receipts at the ports and interior towns and generally fine weather reports. The crop news was of bearish tenor, but this had been thoroughly discounted. After the close of the. first hour the market had stiffened considerably on covering, coupled with firmness in New Orleans and rumors of another cold wave having appeared in the Northwest. Later private wires stated that Southern opera tors were placing no faith in the big crop estimates in circula ton and were disposed to look for another scramble of the export contingent for spot cotton. The market closed steady, with prices to 13 points higher.

WITTY OLD MARK.

4 s a SHREWD POLITICIAN and a
4 thrifty business man. Mark Haa-
ma has earned something Of d
reputation He is now developing an
other quality that no one suspected
him of possessing. Mr.. Mckinley
guardian ad Item is proving himself
one of the rarest wits of the country.
Beside the drollely of Hanna, his
namesake, Mark Twain, Artemus Ward
and Bill Nye are little more than buff
foons. Bon mots gurgle from his lips
with refreshing spontaneity. Listen to
his latest:
The subsidy bin is a wise measure,
and there is no desire to force it
through congress. We want it to go
through on its me us"
Note the play on the word wise It
is beautiful. One can fairly see the
twinkle in the Hanna optic and hear
the delicious rolling of his tongue
round that word wise" There is
probably no other word in the Ian
guage that so fully expresses the cum
ming motive that runs through Mr.
Hanna's annual presentation of $780,
900 10 Mr.. Rockefeller. Then again: we
want it to go through on its merits"
None but a finished joke artist would
ever have thought Of using the edi
torial we" for John and l. But the
greatest droIery of all is the idea that
they want the bill to so through on its
merits The next thing We hear this
comical old dog Will be attending coun-
ty fairs and seriously insisting that his
poultry be given a prize because Of the
evenness of their teeth. What an i'm
aginatiOu the man must have 10 think

Mr.. Hanna is certainly a wit of the
choicest vintage. If in his leisure mo-
ments ne win get out a political joke

laughter by such quaint EumOr as

DANGER IN WALL PAPER.

Y URING THE teachers convention
which has just ended a theory
was advanced in one of the pa
pers that, if finally accepted, may have
far-reaching effects. This was that
wall paper is an important factor in
securing or destroying domestic fe-
Icity. The speaker held that wild and
inharmonious designs in wall paper
would make the inhabitants in the
house irritable and nI-natured, while
an artistic design would have a sooth-
ing effect.
Among the wealthy the interior deco
ration of their houses is usually
turned over TO some professional deco
rator who has fun sway as 20 the wall
paper. carpets and all things that go 10
decorate a home Now suppose. as is
not uncommon, that one of these fami-
lies get ct skies and sevens until a di-
vorce results. The husband calls in an
expert on art and the artist informs
him that his wall paper is weiTdly in
artistic. wouldn't the husband have
good ground for an action for alien
alton OF affection against the decOra-
tori May it not be that wall paper is
accountable for the great increase in
divorces during the last few years? In
the early days wall paper was not So
plentiful. Then we had whitewashed
walls and few divorces. Now that
nearly every wall is adorned with all
manner of distorted flowers, gewgaws
and tangled curves divorce courts are
working overtime
X the home is the corner stone of the
nation and wall paper is the salvation
OF the home, it might be a good thing
to establish a national board of wall
paper inspection with inspectors in
every community to pass upon all wall
paper before ii is hung so that no dis
astrous results can follow the spring
papering. When this reform has been
secured the educators and artists can
then turn their attention toward keep
ing neckties. spring bonnets and fancy
vests within soothing bounds.
