Hubbard Bros. & CO.'S co.tan Letter.

New York. Oct s.-To the surprise Of
every one Liverpool declined sharply
to-day to a greater extent than the
break in the American market justi-
fed. While there is likely to be a re-
actios abroad Tomorrow from this
oppression, 1t undoubtedly brought
about the liquidation of line of cot
ton bought last week on the bureau
report. There was also free selling by
Southern cotton buyers as hedges
against their purchases of yesterday,
which were not accepted in Europe
this morning. From the low point there
was sharp recovery on the bad week
ly report, and the market is expected
to recover on Tomorrow. The idea
here is that Liverpoels position is SO
strong that the market there must adj
vance in order to attract cotton. Cen
eral speculation is lacking, though
some large buying orders were exc
cuted Immediately after the opening

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

Conditions in the sea island cotton
market remain about the same as last
week, with little of interest to influence
prices. On the whole the demand is sat-
lsfactory. Sales of 731 were reported for
the week. Prices have not yet settled
down to a basis owing to the irregular
lty Of the movement, and the further
fact that the trading has hardly pro-
crossed far enough TO disclose the
policy Of spinners. 1t was reported that

Our Grandfather,s Letter..

George Washington never saw post
age stamp or an envelope, says Sue
cess. They were unknown here until
1887, after Rowland Hill had introduc-
ed them in England. Letters were
written, folded and addressed all on
the same sheet and stuck with a wafer
or with sealing wax. Our early states
men could hardly have dreamed of the
millions upon millions of portraits of
themselves that would some day be dis
tributed broadcast by a great postal
system. In 1908 the mail routes in
cluded a few cities in Maine, Georgia,
New Hampshire. New York. Pennsyl-
vania. Maryland. Kentucky and Vir-
ginia. making triweekly deliveries in
summer and biweekly in winter. There
was no postmaster general in the cabi-
net until 1929. Letters were charged
% cents postage for anything over 450
miles long. Half a century later 10
cents prepaid carried a letter 5000
miles and under that distance cents
and 3 cents.
The popular pen was the good gray
goose quill. 1t was not until 1919 that
we got our first steel pens from Eng
land, where Perry had just begun their
manufacture. Henry Clay learned to
write by tracing letters on sand with a
sharp stick, and Daniel Websters first
pen was surreptitiously plucked from
his mothers pet goose. his ink being
SCOT mixed with water. A few individ
uals were the envied possessors of gold
pens, which were made in Europe, but
the majority used dutch quilts"

Say, can you tell me the way to Eoia,
There where Apollo's god melody rang
Into the sky from his harp as he sangf
All the day long do search for Eola,
High on the mountain, deep in the dale,
Until the daylight in heaven grows pale.
Then do / lie down to dream of Eola
Haunted at night by the longing l bear,
Even though sleeping, yearn to be there
There, far away in this sacred Eola,
Where his great secret of heavenly sound
Woven of music and thought can be found
Once on the undulate breast of Eola,
While he was playing at tending his sheep,
Ph9bus Apollo sank into a sleep,
And on a rock, to this day in Eoa,
Rested Apollo his pulsating Tyre,
Filled as it fell from his hands with his fire.
Thus as he lay the breast of Eola
Into this stone from his harpstrings there crept
Some of his melody, while yet he slept.
Oh, could find it, this heart of Eola,
Touch its mute lips, that they quver and yield
Passions of harmony ages have sealed!
Say, can you tell me the way to Eola,
There where Apollo's god melody rang
Into the sky from his harp as he sang2
