An amusing incident occurred just
previous to General Hunters retire
ment from the command of the Shen-
andoah army. Like General Grant, it
was the habit of Hunter to wear pri-
Yates blouse while resting in camp,
which made him look like anything but
an army commander. One afternoon n
correspondent rode up to the line of
tents and, seeing soldier sitting at the
foot Of tree quietly smoking Vir
ginia corncob pipe, asked where he
could find General Hunter.
"The old man is somewhere about"
replied the soldier coOlly.
"Well, just hold my horse will you.

"Ccrtainly," and tho man rose obedi-
emily and took the bride.
General Huntcr?" said the adjutant
general, when the correspondent re-
ncwed his inquiry. Hes somewhere
about. Why, there he is holding that
horse. What does it mean"
The correspondent turned on his heel,
went to the horse and. mounting, rode
off in silence, while the general resum-
ed his seat OH the ground and laughed
until the tears came into his eyes The
correspondent sought another field for
the exercise of his talents, not caring

With this preface Wilmot proceeded

some secret sign to Zicgfcld to let him

She Read the Sign.

One day last week woman entered
a trolley car in the Ridgewood station,
ON the outskirts Of Brooklyn. She was
accompanied by three very small chill
dren and larger son. The boy was
about fifteen years old and one of
those long, lanky fellows who haven't
had time to grow in all directions. He
was very tall.
The car was empty. The mother told
him to stretch himself out full length
on one of the seats. Then she instruct
ed the three other children to sit on
him.
When the conductor came to collect
the fare, the woman handed him 3
cents.
"What do you mean by this?" shout

"Certainly," replied the jolly matron.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

Cotton Higher, Grain Irregular,
Closing LOwer-PrOvisiOnss Strong.
The cotton market started off very
strong on Monday, and prices adj
vanced nearly 20 points, January reach
ing S.4Sc, and March, $3.50. Later the
market ruled easier, with moderate
fluctuations and prices gradually fell
back until nearly all the early gain
was lost. January closed points UP,
at S.33c, March 6 points up, at 8.27c.
Reports of killing frost over almost
all the cotton belt had very little eff
feet. The movement for the week was
about 10000 bales less than for the
corresponding week last year. A good
deal of interest attaches to the def
mite estimate of the crop by the bu-
reau, to be issued on Wednesday. II
is generally expected that the figure
will be somewhere around 100000
bales. sShould 1t be no larger, the eff
feet ought to be decidedly bullish.
Most of the trade seems now to range
around 100000 bales.
There was less excitement in the
grain markets, and the tone varied
from. day to day. Prices fluctuated
around last weeks close. sometimes
little higher and sometimes a lit
tie lower. Best figures generally were
reached Friday morning, with weak
er market later. There seemed some
disposition to liquidate December In
apprehension Of deliveries on Monday.
December wheat closed 11kc lower, al
1850; May nc lower, at 75%c. De-
cember corn closed IL lower, at 53%c;
May Nc lower, at 429sc.
The immediate course of the market
will depend chiefly upon the action of
the big operators. with regard to De-
cember contracts. Should they break
the market by forcing liquidation, 1t
will afford an excellent opportunity to
buy a little.
Provisions ruled strong, with best
prices reached on Saturday morning.
Later there, was a sharp reaction on
realizing, so that January pork closed
only 22hc higher, at $15S5, after SELL
ing early at $3.50. Lard, 22kc up, at
$9.52a; January ribs sold $S.271a, but
reacted to $S.171z at the close. Receipts
of hogs are light, and demand for pro-
duct goods. Provisions seem tending
