COTTON RULES

TRADING ENTIRELY LOCAL

New York December 5.-The cotton market opened steady at 1 point advance to l point decline; ruled generally quiet; orders from the country at large being more or less restricted by weather inter ruptions to the telegraphic services Trading was almost entirely of a local character throughout the session. In the absence of public support, the more pro- fessional element depressed the market, but was cautious in view of the disap- pointing movement and the possibility of some damage to late cotton from the continued unfavorable weather prevail ing over much of the cotton belt with some reported ruination to any further chance of top development, while the rains and floods and following frosts have done much towards degrading the quality of late cotton. The demand came prin- cipally from parties who had sold pre- viously. although there was some buying for Wall street accounts earlier in the session. It was a local market most of the time with long intervals between transactions towards the close of busi- ness The total sales did not amount to more than 25O00 bales, representing the smallest business since the season com menced. The market was finally quiet at a net loss of '1@2 points. the entire variations following the opening, having been within range of i've points.
 New York, December 5.-Cotton steady; middling $50; net receipts 1289; gross 9626; al Iaa afn oO1ffnant f 100; France 200.

STOCKS MAKE
SENSATIONAL
RECOVERY
WALL STREET RECEIVERS FROM
RECENT SCARE.
RESULT OF SHAW'S ACTION
Report of Probable Settlement of Coal
Strike Puts Anthracite Shares Up
in Air-Confidence Restored by
Shaws Visit to Wall Street
Money Rates Decline.

New York, Oct. 1.-The stock mar
ket, which closed utterly demorallzed
as a result of stringent monetary con-
ditions and other unfavorable circum-
stances, made sensational recovery
yesterday. The chief causes for the
complete reversal were the action OF
Secretary Shaw in removing the re-
sistent reports from various quarters
that the coal strike has at last reached
a. point where negotiations for a settle
ment were actually under way. For
this last rumor there appeared little
or no foundation, according to indi-
vidual and collective statements Of
leading operators made after the reg
ular weekly meeting. Another in
f1uence for the better was the decline
in the call money rates, though during
the morning loans were made as high
as 10 per cent A large part of the
days loans were made at a round 10
per cent. and the rate at the close
went down to two, but this was really
nominal, no money being placed at
that figure The opening prices were
better all the way from a fraction to
five points. Wide operations in which
blocks of 1000, 5000 and 5000 shares
changed hands were numerous.
The opening rate for call money was
IL per cent, but it soon advanced to
IS, creating general confusion among
those committed to higher prices. The
most sensational operations developed
in the afternoon on news from Wash
ington that the president and cabinet
had taken steps to terminate the coal
strike. In spite of the absence of any
confirmation, the market seized upon
this announcement and with coal
stocks in the lead, the entire list shot
upward. The market developed a
bouyant tone in the last hour, though
the operations were confined largely
to coalers, which were heavily traded
in and closed at practically the best
prices of the day. The day operations
were in excess of 100000 shares.
Secretary Shaw's visit to the street
and his talks with leading banking in
terests helped in no small measure to
restore confidence.

With many it is a domestic tragedy
when the best tablecloth ends an hon
pred existence. OF course in the hands
of a thrifty housekeeper this is not
until its spotless surface has been
adorned with sundry bits of embroid-
cry, and even then, if rightly managed,
1t has years of existence before it in
other spheres. Hold such a cloth up to
the light, so that the thin places may
be readily seen, and let some one with
Il blue pencil mark around them. Then
lay it on the floor or a large table and
cut from the better part an infinity of
small doilies of various sizes, four, six,
eight or ten inches square; oblong nap
kins, also of different sizes, cutting
your coat always according to your
cloth. Roll these up and lay them in
the 'ffteen minute basket and when
you find an idle moment on your hands
fringe them. The result will be store
of doilies which you will at once find
so useful that you will wonder how
you ever kept house without them. If
the linen has been both heavy and
fine and of a handsome design, they
are besides decidedly ornamental.

CULINARY CONCEPTS.

Almost any kind of white fish is good
cooked in milk in the oven.
Use hot water instead of milk to thin
the eggs in an omelet. 1t makes it
more tender.
When fruit tarts are cooked, do not
stand them on the top of a hot stove,
for this makes the pastry soft and
sodden.
When MASKING potatoes, add the milk
first and then the butter. They will
be found to be much whittier than when
the butter is used first.
Baked potatoes go well with fish
Few cooks broil fish, but if they would
once try it on fairly good sized fish they
would give the frying kettle rest.
Eggs with tomatoes are tempting.
Poach as many eggs as are needed;
put them on hot platter; cover with
hot tomato sauce; sprinkle over grated
cheese and put into the oven until the
cheese is melted; serve hot.
1t is not generally known that if a
ham is boiled slowly, allowing fifteen
minutes for every pound, and then
taken off the fire and left in the water
until the latter is perfectly cold, the
ham will not lose anything in weight

Rye and Russian Thistle.

1t is nothing uncommon for rye to
yield forty bushels to the acre, and if
the ground is properly prepared and
good seed well put in failure will not
occur if there is enough moisture in
the ground to terminate the seed in
the fall. Rye can be sown in August
or any time before the ground freezes.
We have seen good crops when the
grain was sown so late that the plants
could hardly be seen above ground I'M
til the following spring. If rye is not
sown by Sept. 20, it is usually bet
ter to wait until the ground is about
to freeze up. One who has land infest-
ed with Russian thistles will find great
satisfaction in sowing rye thick and
early. Some sow in July and pasture
the stand so it cannot joint, then har-
vest crop the next year.-Field and
Farm.
