NAVAL STORES.

Friday, Dec. 10.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm, at 35Ac, with sales of Gal.
and closed firm and unchanged. with
no further sales reported. Throughout
the week the demand was good, and
the market displayed an advancing ten
dency. The outlook is favorable from
factors point of view, as the move
ment is not expected to show up heav-
Ter, and with the present demand it
is believed the entire offerings for
some time to come will be absorbed at
good prices To-day's receipts were
933, and the exports 1879.
ROSINS-The rosin market did not
fiuctuate very much during the week.
The demand was very good, however.
and particularly for lows, which were
in constant request. The weeks move
ment was moderate. To-day's receipts
were 4,397, and the exports 1855.

ket to-day the following quotations

Murphy g. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York Dec. 13.-The cotton mar
ket was again dull this morning. Ca
bles missing up to II a. m, the only
advices had being closing Liverpool
cables. The tight money market caus-
ed little scare and early prices con-
sequently went off to points. Soon
there was a full recovery. Anxiety
to know the insight movement of the
week caused hesitation, but above all
was the absence of news from Liver
pool, pending restoration of which both
bulls and bears were at sea. Receipts
were quite heavy, estimated at go, 600,
against 410OO last year, but this has
been discounted. Up to noon small
business hda been received, room trad
ers being in evidence to no little ex-
tent. Southern buying orderes were
numerous. The insight movement
proved to be $4,000, against 461, 900
last year. 1t is quite certain that
there must be at no distant date a re-
vival of demand for account of spin
ners in Europe and especially on the
continent. Financial disturbances have
kept German manufacturers in the
back for so long they cannot fail to
soon enter the market on a large scale.
There is. also a short interest abroad
of considerable magnitude, and as
short sales must at some time be COW
cred, there can be little doubt of the
result on the market, which is en-
tirely too low. AS a matter of fact.
there is so much to confirm small
crop estimates that there is little in
the way of higher prices, beyond pos
sible manipulation, and the temporary
adverse results of free receipts, but
the expectation is that the movement
cannot be long maintained on a full
scale. New Orleans expects tomorrow
$4,000 to $1,000 bales, against 1923:
Houston expects tomorrow 5000 to
5000 bales, against 1855.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed steady to-day,
316c above last Fridays closing. Sales
of 211 were reported by factors. For
the week sales of 4,151 and for the sea-
son 63,SS1 and 2,062 sea islands and 23,-
034 for the season. While the demand
was fair, the offerings on the spot were
limited, and business was somewhat re-
stricted. Then, too, the failure to re-
ceive Liverpool advices during the later
days brought business to a partial
stand, as none cared to trade without
knowing what was going on ON the
other side. Cotton futures at New
York closed quiet and steady, with
prices 1 point higher to 2 points
lower.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

to the unsettled condition of finances
in New York. Spots continue to be

REVIEW OF MARKETS

Reports FROM the Leading Trade
Centers.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, Dec. ID.
With two setbacks in one week it
would seem that the causes of the
featureless cotton markets are explain
ed. One cause for the backwardness
of spinners to accept short crop esti-
mates, and the other was the storm off
the coast of England, which damaged
the cable and interrupted communica-
ton. For the past two days nothing
definite was received from Liverpool,
and in the absence of these advices the
market moved within narrow limits.
There is no appreciable change in
sentiment. Both here and in the in
terror the feeling is bullish, with a
majority of the trade looking for high
er prices before the end of the year.
They base this belief upon the prospec-
tive demand from spinners. which they
believe will improve as the movement
may later confirm the shartness of the
crop. Offerings from the country
through this market were restricted all
week, due to the belief among holders
that higher prices are in store.
In the sea island cotton market the
tendency was for higher prices and the
closing shows marked gains over last
weeks quotations. The rise is predict
ed upon the improved demand, and
the strong indications that the present
is a short crop, very little, if any,
in excess of what will actually be
required by spinners. Reports from the
sea island belt point to a curtailed
yield, which is largely due to the cold
weather. 1t is estimated that the cold
alone, cut off from $1,000 to 10000 bags
from the crop.
Naval stores close firm at the ad-
vance. Spirits were in demand all
week, with the offerings each day
cleaned up. Resins close firm, with
the demand particularly for lows. The
wholesale markets closed steady. The
following resume of the markets will
show their tone and quotations at the
closing to-day:

an antiquary who was looked up to and
respected for his knowledge Of ancient
history and ruins, and each evening
there was gathering in the parlors Of

day. Professor Hampstead, as he was

Dear Sir: You know chemistry. Lead
and zinc is better paint than lead alone
or zinc alone. Lead chalks off; zinc peels
off. Lead and zinc stay on, IL properly
ground.
Devoe lead and zinc Is the paint. 1t is
ground fine and thoroughly mixed. A
painter ought never to mix lead and zinc;
1t wants grinding; mixing isn't enough.
A streak of lead and streak of zinc Is
not lead and zinc.
The object In grinding Devoe Is to grind
the lead into the zinc and the zinc into
the lead, which painter can't do, with a
stick In a tub.
And yet lead and oil will wear longer
with 90 to 80 per cent Of zinc mixed In
with 1t, even as painters do 1t.
But Devoe has lead ground In with zinc.
The lead is fine enough SO is the zinc.
The grinding Is to grind the two into one.
And grinding costs little or nothing done

Coffee Drinking Denounced.

AS early as 1868 coffee was satirized
in England, and on every hand the bit
terest invectives were applied to it by
the press and pulpit. In one instance a
preacher hurled anathemas at the
heads of those who used as a beverage
"a sirup of SCOT and essence Of old
shoesw Probably he had good grounds
for this statement, having sampled
some boiled coffee. Another divine de-
nominated it "a poison which God
made black that it might bear the dev-

The MOOrm and Their Morals.

The MOOr@ and Their Morals.
In appearance the Moors are a very
fine race. For many generations their
mothers have been chosen for their
beauty. An active life in the saddle
has developed them physically and a
splendid appearance is the result. In
addition, they have manners Of un-
equaled suavity and polish, the result
Of early years spent in the harem.
They are SO habituated to think well
of themselves as followers Of the true
prophet that an uneasy conscience
never troubles them.
A man may be an utter scoundrel,
cruel and licentious, and yet be regard
ed as q saint If he Is descended from
the prophet and conforms to the out
ward ceremonial of Islam. His brow
is frank and unclouded, his smile is
even benevolent, and yet 1t would be
impossible to describe the details of his
life. Such are the Moors-an interest
