New York May 4.-Commercial Adverti- ser's London financial cablegram:
 The markets here were generally easier today, though fairly active. Americans again monopolized attention They opened well under parity and generally speaking there was no rally, the close being fiat at from 1 to points under New Yorks closing prices of yesterday. Union Pacific and the Atchisons were the weakest features. The market was, on the whole. far less buoyant than 1t was two weeks ago.

New York, May 4.-Futures have been quiet and unchanged to points lower and ruled stupidly dull throughout the balance of the session.

COTTON FELL UNDER LIVERPOOL ORDERS Market Opened Easy and Ten
 Points Lower ALL EUROPE WAS SELLING Farmers Reported To Be Holding Back Cotton for July Corner.
 Closed Points
 Of.

New York, May 1.-The cotton market cline being in sympathy with further losses abroad. Liverpool broke heavily again this morning. quite in keeping with its recent action, and sent formidable selling orders to our pit. July in the local pi broke to 7.70c under the first wave of selling, which came from all directions and then rallied slowly on profit taking Yet there was no real sign of recupera- tive power in the market and the more reliant bears took advantage of the rally to put out new lines of cotton in the summer months. Sentiment continued bearish under favorable reports from the crop center and very gloomy news from abroad Liquidation in Liverpool from all parts of Europe was the chief factor of depression there, though behind this pressure there was a demoralized cotton goods market, total absence of specula- tive support, a large supply of high priced cotton, for which there was virtu- ally no demand, and many cables from the south to the effect that the outlook for the new crop was exceedingly disap- pointing. Farmers were said to be hold ing back cotton in expectation of July corner in New York. The predictions all pointed to a continuance of the heavy movement. Receipts were well-nigh over whelming, the ports reporting over 40O0 bales
 The market closed barely steady, with prices net to points lower.

New Orleans Cotton Market.


 New Orleans, May 1.-The market for spot cotton presented no new features during the short hours today. Offerings were freely large and comprised very good assortment which factors are more than willing to work off. The unceasing decline on the other side and the growing disposition on the part of foreign mills to operate strictly within tn elimits of pressing necessities, has so reduced the volume of orders held for execution in American markets that the making of definite concessions by factors has be- come necessary in order to move their stocks. It is a fact that all the buying was done within the space of three hours time, the local market for contracts made a most excellent showing today Interest developed In the summer months. The net results of the days transactions was another drop in the level of values. Liv- erpool, as usual. led the procession. Lo- cally the market was off to points on the opening call and thereafter fell off a point or two either way, so that at the sound of the gong the net loss of the day stood at 6 points on the current crop months point on September and 4 points on the positions beyond.

STEEL SKYScRAPERS.
Given Proper Foundation, They May
BE built Into the Clouds.

Architects and practical builders agree
that there Is no theoretical limit to tho
height OF structure Of steel or steel and
stone provided the materials are right and
the foundations capable. John NJ. Cor
nell, president Of the Cornell Iron works,
says:
There isn't any limit to the height to
which building may be erected II the
foundation Is strong enough to support u.
The subject from a theoretical viewpoint
develops the same argument j. NJ. Farms
worth, an architect who has designed many
OF the tall buildings in this city, gives 1t
as his opinion that a building might be
erected an indefinite number of miles up
into the air until it strikes n limit caused
by some possible, but unknown atnos-
pheric condition. THAT is beyond ques-
ton" says he, sit being understood, Of
course, that the extent and strength OF the
foundations be in proportion to the strain
to be put upon them. 1t is true that every
building material, even eternal rock, has
its crushing point, but it is equally true
that certain materials may be so combined
and employed in the construction of high
buildings as to keep them well within the
breaking or crushing point indefinitely.
ION rock foundation n weight Of l60
pounds per square inch is perfectly safe.
Ii tho area of the foundation Is large
enough, the strain can be so distributed
that it will accommodate all the weight
that can be Cpon it in n building, no mat
ter how high. On ordinary soil the weight
carrying capacity is not much over four
pounds per square inch Thus the range
between those two conditions must be pro-
vidcd for by piles and other foundation
devices. Buildings up to 20 stories high
are safe usually when resting on wooden
piles. Stronger supports arc needed for
higher structures. 1t is matter OF pro-
portion all the way through, and therefore
no one may say that there is a limit TO
the height of buildings. 1t is certain that
If such limit does exist it will never DO

Some Slang Words.

A remarkable fact is that many slang
words have q classical origin. For exam
pie, the word mill, a vulgarism for a
fight, is traceable to the Greek word "ha-
milla, which means combat.
Uncle" the afrectionate term for a
pawnbroker, is derived from the Latin
''uncus," hook on which the article
pledged was hung.
TO go before the beak" is a distinct
reference to the old Roman custom Of
ndorning the platform from which justice
dispensed with the bcaks Of ships, which
platform came to be called the rostrum,
that being the Latin for a beall or Prov
10 take one down a peg or two" has
lis origin in the old Morse habit of having
drinking cups or horns measured off into
equal parts with small pegs, one warrior
endeavoring to drink a peg lower than his
comrade- When the cups were to be drain
ed, it was the custom to shout Gar aus
fright out), and from this sprang our
word 'carouse."

NAL and the ring We're worn quite smooth,
but the hollow reverse side which fitted
against the door was faxed with rust and
the bolts used for fastening the knocker
were so coated that the nuts could not be
turned.
The knocker seemed several centuries
old, and yet when showed it 10 an Amer
tcan in Florence, an expert who has fire.
quented the shops for years, he shook his
head and said:
I'm not sure that it wasn't made in
Germany
but it must be rather old Look at
the rust"
The Germans can take piece of iron
and rust it like that in two days"
But the ring is worn smooth from
handling"
1t wouldn't take long to grind that
down and then polish 1t. Now, am on
the watch for receptions all the time, and
even l am fooled occasionally. The Ger
mans will take any kind OF an antique
and copy it so well that only the shrewd-

FEMININE STRATEGY.
She Got the bonnet She Wanted and
without n ScoldIng.

81 always liketo consult your t1ste in
millinery Harry, dear, said Mrs Fairfax
Is she took the wrappings of box whicE
had lust been delivered and carefully cx-
tracted a dream OF q bonnet from the It's
sue paper which protected it from the sides
of the box. "That is the reason l didn' I
buy this bonnet, but had 1t sent on up
prevail. How do you like it'''
"That seems to suit you, replied Mr.
Fairfax after q brief examination. What
is the price?'
ut comes a triAe high, but / thought 1t
would please your exquisite taste The
price is $25.'
Twenty five dollarsr' Mr.. Fairfax re-
peated. ''Do you think that the shade Of
ribbon is exactly suited to your style of
beauty? Don't you think that something
less ornate and possibly costing few dol
lars less would really enhance the charms
Of your piquant facc?'
well, l don't think 1t would Harry. I
tried on about a dozen of the bonnets that
the madam thought would become me,
and there were only two which l could
wear at all. This was one, and the other
was an imported bonnet. l was much
TEMPTED to get it, for it was the most be-
coming thing ever had on my head. My
choice really lay between that and this
one, and if you think this is unbecoming
will send it back and get the other i am
positive you will be pleased with that. "
What was the price Of this imported
bonnet you speak OFF,
"Oh, it comes little higher, being i'm
portcd Forty-fve dollars was the price
but l think l can get it for $40. y
well, / don't know that l would trou-
ble," said Mr Fairfax. Let US look at
this again There, stand in that light,
dear. 1t becomes you much better than /
thought. On the whole, l don't know
when / have seen anything which suits
you quito so well. Perhaps you had better
decide to take it, 4"
VERY well, dear, just as you say
chirped Mrs. Fairfax dutifully, and she
said to herself:
How much better that wGs than to tell
him had decided to take this hat and
then have him fume and scold about the
price. "-New York World.

AN IMPRESSIVE SPEECH.
How mn Opponent of Henry Clay
stopped a Monument Project.


A Kentuckian who has seen good
many years Of active, busy life told the
other day story of an event witch he
witnessed long while ago and which he
had never forgotten: MY father hearing
the news of Henry Clay's death, had taken
me from our home in Boyle county to
Lexington. Hundreds of other Blue Grass
farmers had also come post haste upon re-
ceipt of the SD intelligence. A monster
meeting was being held at the old court
house to take action for the building of
splendid monument to the memory Of the
great commoner. There was grief upon
every face Speech after speech had been
made. One citizen after another had
pledged himself to subscribe for monu-
ment fund Suddenly the Cry went up fol-
Marshall to speak. Old Tom Marshall
was one of Clay's greatest political enc
mics but like every kentuckian, he haG
a deep admiration for Harry of the West
Marshall, Marshall, Marshallr the crowd
kept calling.
MY father was on the platform and l
stood near, behind his chair, peeping over
at the sorrowful asscmblage with wide
open eyes As l looked a man began to
rise or rather to unfold himself from the
seat in which he had been doubled up,
sucking the head of u cane. To me as he
Strengthened out, he seemed the longest
man had ever seen. A hoarse cheer ran
through the crowd 1t was Marshall lie
raised his arm, and, as silence fell upon
the multitude, he spoke in Il deep, rolling
voice Young as l was / realize that this
was almost n history making moment for
our state, and SO deep was the impress
upon my mind have never forgotten his
words.
= The friends of Mister Clay he said,
have asked that l speak upon this sad
occasion Men of kentucky and his
voice fairly rang, the man who lies dead
today needs no monument He wants 10
shaft of carved stone to commemorate
his deeds As long as hearts throb the
sweet memory of Henry Clay will live and
breathe i'll Kentucky
THAT was all. He slowly doubled mp
again And the crowd dispersed, and
everybody went home There We're no
more speakers. And for the time there
was no moro talk of monument to Hen
ry Clay. ''-Pittsaurg Dispatch.

THE AUTHOR.

Upon lyric page replcte with thought
A mooest man affixed his humble name,
when soon went ringing down the halls OF
fame,
And to the hearts Of men its lesson taught
A message from the cloud and sunshine
caught
That on the breeze DER sea and forest came
Attuned 10 vocal mornings glad acclaim,
Where MS Is praise and man alone is naught.
NO mortar IS the author Of one ray
OF jeweled light that springs from truth
divine
To thrill the souls recesses with its fires;
The MIND OF man. enchanted, can convey
Reflected glories only from the shrine
Of hight and love. whence sound the heavenly
Tyres.
