The Inventor of the Match.

The first match was the product OF
the ingenuity Of John Frederick Kom
erer. who early in the nineteenth cen
tury was imprisoned in the peniten
tiary at Hohenasperg, in Germany. H.
invented the lucifer match while in bis
gloomy dungeon. The German govern
ment forbade the manufacture OF
matches on the ground of public policy
because some children pIayiIfg witt
them had caused n fire. Komerer was
ruined by Nicnnese competition whei
he was released from prison and died
pauper. Up to 1862 the Vienna man
ufacturers controlled the match bust
ness of the entire world

The Savannah morning news., 1902-12-24

New York, Dec. 23.-The feeling in
the market TODAY was rather unset
tied for the time being, not that conf
dence was shaken as regards the crop
outturn and higher prices in the long
run, but because of receipts swelling
considerably for the first time recent
ly to any extent. This naturally gave
the bears an opportunity for putting in
some work. although 1t is regarded as
risky to offer opposition to the main
tenance of values while there is a
strong probability of receipts shortly
tapering off to their recent small pro-
portions. The weather news this morn
ing counted for little and showed an
extreme range of temperatures of "a
to 46 with fair weather everywhere.
Galveston and Savannah's big receipts
early in the day caused some nervous
ness but despite this the market fail
ed to give way except to a very mar
row extent. 1t was commended that free
receipts Were due to the Christmas
movement, which was always feature
in previous years. Nevertheless, prices
in the forenoon failed to give way as
expected, although there was not much
in the way of business. Final cables
steady at about net loss. Yarns at
Manchester quiet but steady. Cloths
i'm more demand. Port receipts $4,000
against, 5000 last year.

Declined additional subsequently on
freer receipts than for some time.
Considerable buying, however, came in
on the decline, causing an advance 8
to from the bottom, making the net
loss points on the day.
Exporters and spinners continue
apathetic and the long expected revival
in the demand for spot fails to ma
teralize In the meanwhile the statisti-
cal situation is strong; sentiment is
extremely bullish and yet values re-
main at practically a standstill. Not
withstanding all the features favorable
to an enhancement the receipts show
some signs of increasing towards the
latter part of the week, still with the
approaching holidays no disposition is
shown to enter into new engagements.
The general opinion seems to be that
after the holidays there will be sharp
advance established. in the meanwhile
receipts and weather will continue to
govern.

OF the day fiuctuated over d narrow
range with distinct bearish tendency,
losing to 4 points additional up to
the noon call. At that level the de-
