Too ENtrnyaHnnt ny unII.

The manner I'm which one drfaulting
cashier was detected was rather pecul
lar. II was all due TO the curiosity OF
the women Of his nclghborhood. He
went 10 no expense In the way OF dress
Ing. they never heard OF his gambling
or drinking TO any extent, he was a
uodcl husband, but he loved good
table There was nothing unusual In
this, but one day when the ladies' OF
the vicinity were discussing the best
method OF cooking meats the wife OF
the cashier declared very innocently
would not eat IL unless II had been
boiled In champagne. Boiled in cham
payne" exclaimed the listeners. "IIcav-
ems, how expensive! We couldn't af-
ford to have ham on our table often II
we cooked It that way"
It was soon noiscd all around the
ncighborhoOd that Cashier Blank was
n high liver indeed, and the men began
telling Of his upliftcd Ideas OF cookery.
This soon reached the ears OF the di-
rcctors of the bank. and they conclud-
ed II might be wise TO Investigate the
accounts OF such an eplcure. Plain
water was all they could AFFORD for
their hams, so the champagne lover
was called up and subsequently rele-
gated TO the pen. where he had TO fore

days.-Lousvill Times.

A GnnIrnkI In CnniA

In an article contributed To London
paper John Strange Winter. who has
been living for many months past in
Dicppc. compares the French To the
English cook. rather 10 the dCtrlmCnt
OF the latter "In the French kitchen"
she says. "thCrc is no waste. 1t would
seem that the French mind does not
run To waste or rcvcl In II ms the lower
class English mind invariably does"
The French cook will hOt only do n
bit OF the houSCwork, but she will do IL
checrfully and as matter OF course.
"Iou cannot buy your French cook too
many pans. and her soul loves copper
I'm her kitchen. Certainly an English
cook would grumhlc If she was expect
ed To keep kitchen full of copper pans
bright and clean, but n French one has
them I'm condition akin To FURNISHED
gold Her pride is gratilicd If her
kitchen walls are hung with these or
namcnts. and even II she does the
greater part of her small cooking In
little cnamclcd pans she will daily rub
up the copper ones which hang on the
wall"

THE states expense bill was put
in Wednesday and as we perdicted

partments are much increased. The

Assembly is more than doubled

the amended constitution. Some of
the papers up the river advocated
the amendment on the ground of
economy. THIS is the way they get
it. The pay of clerks OF commit
tees is increased to 7,2oo an
entirely needless expense. Fifteen
yenrs ago there was no such thing
known IN the X. |. legislature as a
paid clerk to committee. The
appropriation for Railroad commits
sioner's office is increased from
81 200 to 81 900; the state printing
from $4,000; state binding from
$1,000 to $4,000; the expense OF

THE hucksters of Providence have

THE hucksters Of Providence have
lately come under the notice OF Al
derman Reynolds of the Fifth ward.
This gentleman evidently thinks that
the huckSter business needs little
regulation. AS it is now, they have
very wide liberties and very few
responsibilities. 1t is, we think,
Alderman Reynolds idea that each
huckster shall pay license fee, and
that their weights and measures al
ways conform to the standard, and
a few other wise and salutary require
ments be put in force. A Joint COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Reynolds is
chairman, are considering these mat
ters, and doubtless the city council
will act wisely on the resolution
when il comes to vote.

MunPHY 4 cos. STOCK LETTER.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE stock market
opened this morning with rather uncer-
tain tendency, but, generally speaking,
quite firm. The steel industrials, which
are to be comprised in the new amalga-
nation, we're all again under severe press
ure, rejecting the estimates being cur
rent published as to their exchangeable
value in the new stocks, National Tube
was perfectly weak on the dsappoin tment
OF the holders of that stock, in view OF
the terms they received in the amalga-
nation. Interest was fairly well diversi-
fled, Notwithstanding the particular inter-
est in the steel industrials. The tobacco
stocks were again conspicuously firm,
both Continental Tobacco and American
Tobacco advancing on information to the
effect that the changes in the internal
revenue laws would be favorable to the
tobacco industry. American Smelling
continued under pressure. which was not
however, so urgent as that noted yester-
day. The railway list was more or less
affected by the unset tlement in the indus
trial quarter. There were very large
dealings in St. Paul. above yesterdays
final figures, but for the most part the
dealings in the railway list did not at
tain conspicuous proportions. Sugar ad-
vanced points on expected increase in

COTTON FUTURES.
The Closing Quiet With Prices to
A up on Near and L to 2 of ON
Far Months.

New York, Feb. 27.-Though shorts had
things pretty much their own way during
the early session on the Cotton Exchange
to-day, they no more than succeeded in
increasing obligations and in shaking out
small remaining short interest, thereby
placing the market in a singularly good
position to rally on the slightest bull pre-
text. The latter came in the afternoon.
In the face of fairly bullish Liverpool
cables, and unusually small receipts at the
ports, shorts started in on the opening to
sell the near months and oppose any
thing in the way of speculative support.
The market, while about steady in tone,
went off to 4 points under these condi-
lions, and soon after the call broke sew
eral points further under increasing pres
sure from the bear side. At midday a
weak undertone was apparent, with the
net loss matter of to points. Later
estimates for to-morrow's receipts at New
Orleans and Houston were inside of ex-
pectations, while rumor gained circula-
ZION that a strong bun clique had been
formed to advance March. A scramble to
cover, which later grew into a small bear
stampede, sent prices to 10 points higher
with the market feverishly active and
firm. The fear that Liverpool would take
advantage of our strength to work up-
ward in the morning impelled shorts to
redouble their efforts, while commission
houses figure quite prominently in the
asst hour as buyers of May and July. The
South also furnished a fair number of
buying orders. Very few March notices
We're put out, and those issued were
quickly taken by strong houses. AT the
close the market was quiet in tone, with
prices net to points higher on near
months and l to 2 points lower on far
months

8 9-32d futures about 1-64d lower. Our
market ruled duh at little change in
prices during the early part of the ses-
sion, but shortly after the noon call there
was a quick rally of 5GS points in March

of liberal covering by shorts and some
talk of manipulation in March contracts.
Notices were again issued on March con-
tracts to-day, but the bulk of them were
stopped. Toward the close the market
eased off 3q4 points on account of liqui-
dating sales. There is no special news

fined to local brokers. Estimated port

graphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Wednesday. Feb. q.
The spot cotton market closed quiet and
unchanged to-day, with a fair business
reported from the tables. The demand
for +. o. b. shipment was in keeping with
what it has been for several days past.
The spirits turpentine market closed dun
at 800, with light sales reported. Resins
closed firm and unchanged.
The Liverpool Courier of Feb. 10 says
of cotton: We believe that the smaller
pointing to the reduced scale of consump-
ton admitted by ALI and estimated by
reliable authorities to reach from 10, 600 900
10 lO150,0O0 bales, prove also how small
comparatively are the stocks at present
held by splnners, particularly in America
aud on the continent of Europe. Mr.. H.
G.. Gorst in his latest circular, computes
the indicated worlds takings of Ameri-
can cotton this season to be $4,000 bales,
against l0,666,O00 bales last year. But the
chances are that the requirements of spin
ners for the remainder of the season will
he greater than was the case last year
in the corresponding period, and in that
event the supply. actual and prospective,
is suggestive, to say the least, of further
local statistical tension. This contingency
will be the better appreciated by an ex-
animation OF the actual figures bearing
upon the distribution of the crop. Not
withstanding the fact that the imports to
Great Britain since the 1st of September,
as compared with last year, show an in
crease of nearly 100000 bales, the posi-
ton with regard to the actual supply of
American cotton-owing chiefly to the
small stock with which the season open
eds only improved 20 the extent OF
10000 bales. In other words, to allow for
normal consumption, to provide for ex-
port, and to assure a surplus at the close
of the present season sufficiently large
to protect the market from cornermen,
will require approximately a record i'm
port to this country in the concluding
half Of season 1901.
The following resume of the markets
will show the tone and quotations at the
closing to-day:
