In the cotton market were anything
but smooth and regular Influences
bearing upon the market We're numer-
Gus and conflicting, while speculation
much of the time was active. The mar
ket opened points higher TO lower.
quick change OF front on the part
of Liverpool created distrust in local
bull circles, and later stampcded longs
into an excited dash to unload cotton
accumulated yesterday. The bear fac
ton vigorously hammered the entire
list though directing efforts more espe-
ciallY- AGAINST the August ontion, which
for weeks past has been the football
OF both sides. From 9.42 that contract
tumblcd perpendicularly to 9.l0 with
the now crop months following at a
lively rate. Tho cables portrayed n
panic among holders abroad. The
break In the English market was vari-
ously attributed to declaration of war
against China by Russia, to exception
ally bearish crop reports from the
South. and To the appearance of large
selling orders from America. The de-
cline here ceased, following a rally of
3 points abroad. From 80 August
here quickly shot up to 9.26. after
which there was another weak spot
under fresh general ceiling. With Au-
gust finally resting at 9.l5. In the
early afternoon shorts became apprc-
hcnsVe, and in endeavoring to take
profits. forced the summer delivery to
$50. But once more liquidation swept
prices downward. and during the last
hour fluctuations were radical in both
directions. with the talent" practi-
cally in control of the market. New
Orleans backed up its bear principles
by selling here on all the steadier in
tcrvals.
The market closed steady in tone.
with prices net to 10 points lower.

The police have Just arrested outside
the fashionable church of La Trinete
several professional beggars, all OF
them accompanied by children OF
whom they were not the parents.
There are certain recognized centres
for this abominable traffic and a reg
ular tariff is in operation ut these child
markets. The trade is by far the brisk
est in winter. In ordinary times, when
no special holiday is in progress, a
child Of from five TO ten years may be
had cheaply, the current charge being
eighteenpence day or two shiIlings if
the weather is very cold. Babies in
arms or those who can only just tod
die are more expensive, fetching dou-
BILE and treble this sum. On Christmas
Day and New Years Day, when beg
gars are practically not interfered with
by the police and reap their richest
harvests. the prices are much higher
AS much rs sovereign has to he paid
on these special occasions for q baby
only few months old, and even this
sum is exceeded in the case of the
hapless little creatures who are ill, and
who are thus likely the more readily
to move the passer-by to pity. Older
children on these holidays may be
hired for eight shillings. If the beggar
continues at work throughout the eve
ming he has to supply the child with
supper. He also has to undertake to
pay for a doctor if his victim should
fall i'll from exposure.-Pall Mall GaZ-
