STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 23.--Speculative ac-
session of the Stock Exchange and ma
nipulative devices were used both by
the bulls and the bears. The conse-
quence was a feverish and excited mar
ket
There was a notable accumulation of
New York Central, Norfolk and West
ern and the Southern Railway stocks,
individual transactions in these run
ming from 1000 to $500 shares. New
York Central was lifted an extreme 2k,
Norfolk and Western 1A and Southern
Railway preferred 1as. There was
disposition to take profits in some of
the recent favorites which had an un-
settling influence upon the market
from the outset. Amalgamated Cop
per WIS weak throughout, with the ex-
ception u a slight fractional gain at
the opening. In the late trading the
stock slumped TO 85, which is frac-
ton below the lowest price ever pre-
viously touched. The assertion was
published in the street that papers
against the Amalgamated Company
are being prepared in the attorney gen.
erals Office at Washington. The report
caused a break of 3m points in Sugar
as we'll This weakness took the edge
off the rally on the strong bank state
ment and made the closing very irreg-
ular. Renewed selling developed at the
last in the s-continental stocks
also.
The cash reserves of the banks in
creased about as expected, and the
heavy loan contraction of $13,504. 400
confirmed the belief that the gold ex-
pcrts of the week went to liquidate
foreign loans. 1t is asserted that the
break in exchange is partly due to re-
newed selling by bankers in the pro-
cess of extending foreign loans still
maturing, which amounts to the crea-
tion Of a fresh supply in short ac-
counts in exchange to be covered at
later maturities

COTTON.

The cotton market closed steady,
with sales of 1856 reported. The demand
was fair, but there was very little cot
ton to be had at the prices exporters
were bidding, hence transactions were
restricted. Offerings from the country
were light, with the decided inclina-
ton among holders to wait for more
attractive prices. To-days quotations
were for F. G. NJ. 7% to 13-16c, and
for basis G. M. 75s@7 11-16c. Cotton

The Morning News Office,
Saturday. Nov. %.
In the absence of positive influences
the cotton futures market did not vary
much to-day from yesterdays closing.
The bears were on the alert for an
opening in the bull lines to make a
dash, but as none appeared, and as the
news was not such as to warrant an
advance in the face of scattering liqui-
dation, the day closed without special
feature. New York was steady and
net unchanged to points lower.
From the country reports continue
as they have been for some time past,
with many expecting the total figures
to show a moderate crop, and the in
clination generally to hold for higher
prices. This being the case, broker
age houses could not induce much bus
mess, and they were further handi-
capped by the low bids of exporters as
compared with what the country was
asking. Basis good middling brought
75sc, but the country wanted z 11-16c,
with very few willing to trade on any
lower basis. On the spot there was
some inquiry for cotton, but with the
inclination to hold about as strong as
it apparently is in the country.
The spirits of turpentine market
closed firm at 35c, with a fair busi-
ness reported for the day. Resins
closed firm and unchanged and in de-
mand. The wholesale markets closed
steady. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone and quo

HIS LOOKS" WERE FAULTY.

It happened in Manitowoc up in
Wisconsin: John Johnson, descend
ant of the Vikings, was in town buy
ing his groceries. He had left his
horse outside while he was in the
store making purchases, when a lit,
tie fat German came by and seemed
greatly struck by it's appearance.
He waited until Johnson came out,
and, planting himself directly in
front of him, he asked: "Doo you
want to sell dot horse?"
IVA al, said Johnson, "Itanks SC"
Show mooch?" asked the Ger
man.
"Va-al," replied Johnson, "no less
dan a hundred an twenty-five, but 1

The German Immediately began to
examine the horse for spavins and
other flaws that h~orsefesh is heir to-,
but failed to find any.
"Oh," he said, surveying it criti-
caIly, II link ne LOOKS poorly gOot. =
"Va-al," said johnson, "gAv' me
the money an l CAV you the horse,
but l don't tank he looks very good"
The money and the horse changed
hands, and they parted. The next
day the little German came riding up
to Johnson in a white rage.
"Vat you mean?" he beloved.

CHOOSING OUR COMPANIONS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE -Ifnd myself
in your column again. 1 do not want
to be afrequent writer, because there
are others that can write such nice
letters, I would not crowd them the
least bit.
The most important thing that has
been ~impressing me of late is that of
Choosing our companions" How
much there is in this little thought /;
yes, our reputation and character de.
pend upon our companions. Our
reputation is what others think of
US, and our character is our will, for
what we s0tU we are. How careful
we ought to be in selecting u asso
ciates.
But granting that we had both the
will and sense to choose our friends
well, how few of us have the power I;
or, at least, how limited, for most, is
the sphere of choice! Let as then
choose "books" for our companions.
Take a book of some good author,
and sit down and imagine the author
talking to you how interesting and
ennobling it will be, and you will
soon find yourself seeking higher and
more elevating things. Perhaps
some would say that they had rather
converse with living people, because
they talk of the things that are pass
ing, and are of immediate interest.
Yes, they talk of passing matters
much better in writing than in their
careless talk. But I admit that this
motive does influence you, so far as
you prefer those rapid and ephem-
eral writings to slow and enduring
writing. =
Great authors far over the ocean

~ it is no more than rightwe should
appreciate their kindness and retail
ate by treating their works as their
company. = : 10 -
Our associates are bound to have
Influence over us, and we over them.

that 70 will have influence hover
some one, for surely We have; but

fuence. First, let the Holy Spirit

FASHION NOTES FOR May.

be cut out about the neck in the

BECAUSE OF EHE eOyRTEOUs WORD.

Ii takes but an instans to speak the
pleasant, courteous word of thanks
to those who have servek us in any
way, but the effect is often deeper
and more lasting than we imagine.
Says an English writer
remember seeing a weary-faced
man in the Army and Navy Stores
serving a very gentle and pretty wo-
man, for whom he had evidently been
taking a great deal of trouble. AS
she left, she looked at him with a
sunny smile.

trouble, " she SAID. land may I wish
you a very happy C~hristmas?"
The man colored with pleasure.
When she moved away, his whole
look had lifted and lightened.

in great ways, but we can all afford
the pleasure and help that is con
7eyed by the courteous, kindly &C
acknowledgement of a service done for
us-Young Peoples Weekly. r.

TOO LATE.

Assistant Attorney General Beck
says that Philedelphians are not so
slow in the game of politics as New
Workers seem to think. He relates
that a man who had rendered the
party much service went to Govern
or Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and
asked for a position as j%anitor in the
state-house.
The governor said to him, "YOu
r an excellent man, but the posi-
ton is filed"
The politician, very disconsolate,
wandered along the banks of the Sus-
quehanna. He saw a body brought
from the water, and to his surprise
he saw that it was that of the man
who had been appointed to the place
that he wanted. He did not lose any
time, but ran to the governor and
said he wanted the place.
The governor replied, blandly,
"There is no vacancy"
"But," says the applicant, 81 saw
that man taken out of the water -
eyes," replied Governor Beaver ;

saw him fall in Judge.
