MARKET FOR FUTURES CABLES AGAINST IMPROVE
 MENT OF PRICES. Bulls and Bears Extremely Cautious and Slow to Take the Initiative.
 Close Showed Good Gains ' on the Day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-The cotton market opened steady, points lower to ! point higher, and for a moment was without special leaning. Bulls and hears were extremely eau feeling among investors was known The ca bles and the movement of the crop were against any improvement, but offsetting these factors were very bullish reports from South ern spot markets and splendid trade state ments from dry gods and cotton cloth mar kets. Soon after the call there was Q general movement among shorts to cover and several good d-sized orders to buy late months were re- ceived from investors. From the slight start thus made. the market rapidly grew frmer and bounds. There was little cotton for sale at any price. while the short interest seemed to be thoroughly frightened and in no position to offer resistance to bull efforts From 03 May quickly advanced to 8 o9 and then. af ter slight reaction, made a new upward luichs this time touching 8 l3 before reaction set in. Wall Street picked up large blocks around the hish figures of the morning. the more con- seivative longs sold for profits. Live, pool lost no time in getting into line and not only ad- contributed buying orders. The South became large buyer on the advance and commis- sion houses were made more busy than tbev have been in weeks At midday the scramble for profits started by big esti- mate for tomorrow's New Orleans receipts. but still later turred strong cn remarkably bullish advices from Southern spot mar From q, 06 May jumped to 8. v, l2 points over last nights final bids and some 25 points up from the recent low level Rumors that the movement was On the verge of pronounced falling of and reports that exporters were raising bids throughout the belt served to stimulate buying in the last hour FIT, Trading ling very general.

THE scRAPBooK HABIT.
Many Phases That the Fancy of Col

B0Aton Transcript.

Bokton Transcript.
 With all the other epidemics present and threatening, there runs along that of keeping scrapbook. Almost every man. woman and child has it in some stage or other. for there are many stages. Some never get beyond the first-that of buying the bsst book to be found and slowing away loosely in it a bundle If clippings to be pasted in at the first op- portunity. The opportunity never comes, really. but just threatens to set in every time one who has passed through a suc- ceeding stage tells of his experience Some persons again let their scraps ac- cumulate, and have one happy season of pasting; while others paste from day to day, almost from hour to hour, the Bubjects suitable for this preservation process.
 There is no end to the variety of things hat may compose a scrapbook. It may be a collection of ones own effusions published aor refused such honor, or it nay 4be5 simply newspaper pictures or nonograms, or hotel letterheads, or sou fenir postal cards. or dance cards. or menus, dramatic criticisms or book re- views, or rise to the dignity of a collec- ion of opinions on the Chinese situation )r the constitutional convention. Some are capable of keeping as many scrap books as there are subjects for them. and thereby become the possessor of a n a decade on rainy days by the com oiler, and to be thrown out into the lust heap when the compiler's heirs and assigns are faced with the question of what they shall do with it.
 Perhaps one heir and assign in mill lion will have among his emotional assets a fondnees and respect for anything which is evidence of the deceased com pliers handiworR, and so cherish the col- lection; but the percentage of folks so fine grained is not larger than this. As this rare person is not of the kind to live long, probably his heir will be sure to regard the whilom treasure as rubbish. This sad fact of the American average is rather worth thinking on by all the scra apbook makers as they set about a task that they fondly and foolishly tell fancy will be a light and a joy down to the third and fourth generation.

READY NEXT YEAR.
Parents Rejoice to Hear New
School No. 29 Is Nearing
Completion.

There is much rejoicing over the an
nouncement that new School No. 20 on
Claremont avenue viii be ready for oc-
cupancy after the Christmas vacation.
Nowhere in the city is school needed
more than in this section. The crowded
condition of No. IA School in Union
street has caused the school authorities
much worriment. For several years pu-
pills have been huddled together in a
shameful manner until parents protested
vigorously, threatening time and again to
move to more desirable section.
The recent strike of the gasftters and
plumbers on No. 20 School caused de
lay of several weeks. Had it not been
for this the building would have been
opel scr the reception of children today.
This school. which is for the primary
department, will serve double purpose.
1T will also take the surplus from No.
Is School, on Dwight street, where some
halliday classes are held. The new school
will have room enough for about six hun
dred children. This will do away with
the halliday classes in Nos. IA and 10.
1t is the opinion of the school officials
that the building will be large enough
to take care of the children Of that sec
ton for several years.

WOMAN I'M DISTRESS.
Tells Queer Story and Is Sent to
the Hospital.

A64AS q 4ueer STORY anu IS sent co
the Hospital.
A woman giving the name of Mrs.
John Howard went to Police Headquar-
ters yesterday and told this story to
Chief Murphy:
Yesterday afternoon my husband and
arrived at the Pennsylvania station.
He asked me to get some bananas. l
went for them and when I returned he
was gone and have not seen him since.
have wandered around until my money
is all spent. He sold our furniture in
Boston and told me he was going to take
me to Burlington, VT, to my folks
The Chief questioned the woman
closely and she said they had started for
Burlington, VT, by way Of Philadelphia
and Jersey City. The Chief thought it
strange such a circuitous route should
be taken.
AS the woman appeared to be in a
feeble condition Chief Murphy gave her
a car ticket and told her to go to the
City Hospital. The woman evidently
missed her way as she was found last
night wandering around.Aan Worst Park.
She was taken to the City Hospital. A
card bearing the name Mrs. Dumas,
Bowery Hotel, and a card from the
Superintendent of Outdoor Poor was
found in her pockets.

BOARDING MISTRESS WINS
Talenski Must Pay All He Owes
Before He Can Get His
Trunk.

Mrs. Annie Godhelp runs a boarding
house at No. III Twelfth street Charles
Talleuski boarded with her. He owed
her SO. About eight o'clock last night
he quietly carried his trunk downstairs.
A neighbor, thinking he acted queerly
informed Mrs. Godhelp. Without listen
ing to another word Mrs.. Godhelp rushed
down stairs and held up Talleuski at
Henderson and Ninth street. She forced
him to drop the trunk.
Seating herself on one end the woman
demanded the SO she said he owed her.
He sat on the opposite end of the trunk
and told her he would pay her when he
any such proposition and for ten minutes
a crowd of about two hundred people
We're treated to an amusing dialogue in
broken English.
Talleuski at last went into saloon
and soon came back offering Mrs. God
help So on account She refused the
offe. and said she would hold his trunk
until he paid her.
A policeman told Talleuski the wo-
man could hold his trunk until he paid
her the money he owed. Seeing the
gig was up Talleuski said, "Well, take
the trunk"
Assisted by another woman Mrs. God
help carried it back to her house. Tai
leuski wandered off.
The trunk contains all the wearing ap-
parel of Talleuski with the exception of
what he has on.
