mend me to women = said q man on
street car during one of Fridays
showers. He was looking at a girl on
the street who had her long-tailed
gown tucked snugly around her, reveal
ing the .frillies'' Of her white cambria
petticoats. No doubt when the young
woman started out these lace-trimmed
founces were crisp things Of beauty;
but the foods had descended mean
while, and now they were nothing less
than sloppy disagreeable but ex-
pressive word. n.
The white skirt has really been quite
conspicuous all during our modern del
uge. There were those who thought
that the sex had SO progressed that the
wardrobe Of even the humblest member
Of it boosted rainy day skirt; but this
apparently is not so, and the long
skirt and the white skirt have helped
to absorb the water from the pave
ments. .4s
A Sight In Cool Weather. s5
/ On one of the coolest of the damp,
raw days Of last week al daring lady,
who had not the fear of pneumonia
within her, apparently, appeared in the
business section wearing a lawn frock
with a yoke of lace SO thin that at a
little distance she had the startling eff
feet of appearing decollete at high
noon. Those wearing topcoats looked
at her in surprise, and a woman, snug
gled in a fur boa, regarded her re
'proachfully. But the cause of these
glances felt no perturbation, for she
was secure in the fact that the calen-
dar was with her, even if the thermom-
eter wasn't. s<z

Mysterious Asphalt.

Asphaltum is the puzzle Of scientists
and the Joy and pride Of roadmak-
ers. Biologists and chemists have
placed the mysterious material in the
coal and petroleum family, vet they do
not agree on its origin. Some Of them
claim volcanic parentage for the curl
GUS stuff: others trace its family back
to the vegetable tribe. But all are OF
one mind in that it is one Of the most
useful and disable products Of the
earth's crust.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-Early Liver
pool advices were better than expect
ed, causing our market to open 2 to 3
higher, but the subsequent easiness
there, combined with large New Or
leans and Houston estimates and the
liberal semi-weekly interior movement
occasioned a decline of 6 later, this,
however, was only temporarily for
large buying orders meeting with an
absence of sellers soon ran prices up
II from the bottom, making the net
gain IA points on the day, the semi
weekly interior receipts were larger
than expected, being 10000 against
140, 900 last year, and the stock increas-
ed $1,000 this year against an increase
of $4,000 last year. port receipts for the
day were somewhat under the original
estimate and probably accentuated the
desire to buy, Notwithstanding the fact
that spots did not respond to the firm
ness existing in deliveries. AS senti-
ment continues extremely bullish, the
chances are values may be maintained
unless checked by a decided increase
in receipts.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Firm 11914
Points Higher.

Points Higher.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices I'M
changed to points higher and for a
brief period, responded readily to buy
ing from abroad and Wall street, as
well as the cable news, which aver
aged much better than expected. Bull
leaders, however, were slow to give the
er portion of the floor contingent sold
on the theory that a sharp further
decline in prices was due. Selling for
longs and shorts for the rest of the
first hour sent prices off sharply, and
before 1870 o'clock January had drop
ped to S.0Sc and May to S.0Sc. Large
port receipts and scarcity of invest
ment orders added to the confidence
of ring bears. Just before midday
buying for single account turned the
course of the market and started shorts
in full retreat. For the rest of the
session buying was more or less active
for both accounts, with early sellers
i'll at ease. Predictions for a bullish
set of cables from Liverpool to-mor-
row, with reports that Southern spot
markets were stiffening on urgent de-
mand added to the alarm of the bear
element. There was a slight pause in
the advance. but in the last hour the
market climbed still higher on per-
sistent buying for both accounts. Eu-
rope and the South picked up liberal
amounts of late months and spinners
bought to January and March. The
close was firm with prices net, II to "A
points higher.

Though we were lower at one time, the

quickly on a large buying order at
noon. Notices were issued against our
increasing stock, which is being in

has been on a largely reduced scale,

ceipts at the ports were not so heavy
as indicated early in the day, and
while Houston was nearly double last
year, the movement was not considered
heavy by the traders, who look for

ness in January as compared with the
positions was attributed to the in

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The sea island cotton market was
active during most of the past week,
with the demand from exporters very
satisfactory. Prices close at the ad-
vance as to all grades. and the inquiry
is promising for a continued good de-
mand. The statistical position, to-
gether with the indications OF a very
moderate crop, are the influences which
are contributing to the better feeling.
Unless a great deal of cotton Is being
held back on plantations the trade
generally agree the crop will be around
$4,000 to $4,000 bales in their opinion.
And IL any cotton is being held back
present prices are believed to be such
as will bring It out. The current quo
tations are:

Cotton in Fair Demand-LOcaI an-
TeIeEraphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Wednesday, Dec. IL.
In both the spot and speculative cot
ON markets the opening was anything
but promising, and the closing just the
other way, with the prospect for
material rise, judging from the late ad-
vances and the firm tone at the close.
Cotton futures Jagged at New York for
while. but later buying from good
sources set in, and by the close prices
worked higher, closing firm IL to IA
POINTS above last night. This was not
only on a buying demand at New York.
If was reported that spinners abroad,
and the South were liberal buyers of
January and March.
In the Savannah spot market prices
dropped at midday, with trading on
very moderate scale, and little of in
terest to stimulate it. Towards the
close the better tendency at New York
was responded to and prices rose to
the opening level, with the demand fair
and factors offering cotton at quota
tons. In the F. o. B. market the
country was still undecided. with the
gyrations of the futures market such
as to keep them in doubt as to the
best course to pursue. With further
improvement to- morrow the current be-
lief is that the interior may offer with
more freedom than they did to-day.
Spirits of turpentine closed firm at
35%c with the demand good. Resins
closed firm at an advance of &c on
water white. Lows were what were
wanted, and buyers were willing to
make reasonable sacrifices in order to
get them. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone and quo
tatons at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
SPOT cotton opened unchanged, with
sales of 100, dropped Lice at the noon
day call on sales of SO, and rose at the
closing to the opening prices, with clos
ing sales of 355. A fair demand was
reported for spot supplies. Receipts
were 1900, against 500 last year. In
the f. O. b. market the demand was
fair. but exporters were bidding from
1-160Ac below the asked prices. Very
little cotton was offering at the bid
prices, and consequently the days bus
mess was limited. F. G. M. was quot
