Houston, Wednesday. January "a.
The cotton markets were dull and listless

eyeryone seemed 10 be playing waiting
game
rhe day opened with Liverpool cables show

mand for the latter was heavier than ususl
and that the sales we're larger than for

ton Of affairs and the continued apathy Of
buyers as regards spots on this side, the
home future markets opened quiet and slight
" lower The little business done during
the day was. on the whole in favor OF higher
prices and the close showed the chalk marks
70 bs practically the same as those Of yes
tsreay New York was points down on one
December-unchanged on some OF the
others and 1 up on June and July.
New Orleans was generally unchanged TO
I down, although September showed an ad-
vance OF points Livsrpool's decline in fu-
lures was l.s4d. while spots were l-32d down.
At the lower prices 5000 bales were sold.
Tho spot situation on this side was not
materially changed. The demand was not
large, by any means, and but comparatively
little business was done AZ any Of tho larger
markets Tho tone was from dun 90 steady

The movement continues to become larger.

the fact that there has been no material he

One New York millionaire who earn.
cd his fortune by his own efforts under
rather disadvantageous circumstances
conducts his business In why that In
highly original in many particulars.
One OF the most striking Of these Is his
method OF dealing with his employees.
They are paid every night, and ut the
close OF every business day all the ex-
penses of running the business have
been met. and the manager knows just
how his affairs stand as far as that
feature Of his business II concerned.
But that Is not his object In paying
salaries every day instead OF following
the usual custom and waiting until the
end OF the week or month. He employs
many men who have lost former stu
atoms through intemperance, although
they were all men Of ability In their
field. II they severed their connection
practically with the establishment at
the close of every business day, II
made no difference TO the employer
what happened to the man after he left
his establishment. BY this means the
millionaire il able to get the services
Of good men mt a small salary and have
no responsibility as to their conduct
after they have received their pay for
one days work.-New York Sun.
