Four Kinds OF Boys.

Archie Roosevelt. the presidents sec
ond son. unwittingly administered a
rebuke to the ~aristocratic tendencies Of
one grande dame OF Washington who
happened to be calling at the house OF
one OF his schoolmates while he was
there. Upon being told that yourg
Archie was the son or the president
and that he attended the public school
the aristocratic visitor began plying
him with questions as to his studies.
ali Of which he. answered in a straight.
forward way. Then. after asking him
about his fellow pupils. she wanted to
know If he did not find that many Of
the boys at the public schools were
trough and common" Arches reply
left no doubt rs to his views on the
subject of boys.
"My papa says" he spoke up en-
phatically. that there are tail boys
and short boys and good boys and bad
boys. and those are the only kinds of
boys there are.--Christian Work

New Yor<. March 5.-,rhe cotton
market opend finn, with prices 4 to 5
points higher. on active buying from
all quarters and for both accounts. This
general movement was the direct IL
suit of bullish. instead Of expected
bearish cables from Liverpool. though
small receipts and rumors that spot
cotton south was again decidedly high
er, helped to strengthen bull convic-
tons here. Yet commission houses
had large selling orders for profits at
the better prices. and the hears made
Il desperate attempt to bring about a
reaction. For q time appearances ia
vored a sharp set back. and prices did
work considerably down from the
start. Nevertheless. Liverpool con-
tinued to advance and foreign buying
orders were conspicuous here.
The New Orleans market advanced
III truly sensational form, and this,
too, greatly disturbed tired out shorts
Rv midday prices were net 10 to II
points higher. and for the resi- of the
day the tendency was strongly up
ward despite continued very heavy
selling for profits Wall street was a
free buyer on the advance, as were
northern spinner and southern Inter
ests. The market closed firm and net
10 to Is points higher. Total transac-
lions were estimated at $500 0 bales.

street. and wharves committee was
authorized to exchange two broken
down city mules for two fine mules. the
owner OF which proposes to allow $50
for the city mules in exchange at $500
for his mules. The exchange was
authorized at a difference OF not more
han $3.50 to boot.
Alderman yonGlahn suggested that
it would be a good idea both for econ
omy and better care OF the city's
stock for the city to own its own sta
bles. He endorsed the suggestion OF
Chief Schnibben. of the fire depart
ment. that a central building be erect
ed for the fire department and the en-
CINE house No. 1, at Fourth and Prin-
cess streets. be converted into stables.
Alderman Harriss said he favored
such arrangement and that a meeting
of the public buildings and fire commit
tees would be held in a day or two and
they could take up this matter. He
said some Of the members of the board
of audit and finance were favorable 20
t. The board then adjourned.
The failure Of the board to act on the
telephone company's request last night
was naturally Disappearing to Man
ager McManus and will be equally so
to the citizens who have been anxious
so long to have the enefit OF long dis
lance telephones. Mr.. McAianus said
last night that the ordinance is 4 copy
of that wherever the company pu.s in
long distance service and that it is in
no way a monopoly and gives no ex-
elusive privilege. He stated hat his
company would not ask for any ex-
elusive privilege in any particular, and
that the company already has every
privilege the ordinance calls for ex-
cept that of putting its wires under
ground. AS to the rates for telephone
service referred to by the mayor. he
said that matter was entirely in the
hands of the State Corporation Com
mission which regulates the rates. He
said that every day lost now delayed
the company in estimating for the
changes here n delays the long dist
ance line as a matter of course.
1t is to be hoped the board of alder
men will be able to digest the ordi-
nance and settle this matter at least in
a week n not wait a month to do
something that ought TO be done with
intelligence in a day or two at least.

Especial to The Messenger


New York, March 5.-within the past
few days the cotton market has COM
menced to make some recognition OF
the fact underlying the situation and
the highest prices established thus far
this season have been recorded. 1t ap-
pears more evident. however. that the
advance has but Just commenced.
So deep-seated was the {.
abroad in the large crop estimi I:
Neil and others that until recently r
eign trade has steadfastly refused to
believe the evidence put before then IN
convincing form that the American
or two. however. their attitude seems
TO have changed. The frmness OF
southern holdings and their unwilling
ness TO sell, except at full prices. have
been the most convincing argument
that could be offered, and Europe.
now finding that it Is unlikely to Sc
cure the balance OF its supply OF cot
ton at present prices. Is eagerly ad-
vancing its bids In an effort to secure
what Is needed. It is obvious that
Europe will request from March LIST
out OF this years crop 1,8o0. 900 bales.
II is equally obvious that America Will
request at least as much IL not more
osVVy,SSV - n low GSIlT4dte OF
the cotton that must be handled by the
worlds spinners In order to avoid the
stoppage OF their machinery the stocks
The stock at southern ports and in
terror towns at commencement OF the
month were approximately LOO. zoo
bales. A minimum estimate Of he
stock necessary in America to the
OF business at the end of the
year Is $50, 900. Less than this means
h closest corner the world has ever
known. II this crop ID even 10. 900. 900
bales. (and i adhere to my belief that
IL Is only about s.5e0. 900 bales) there In
TO come In sight from March 1st a
maximum of 1.5o0. 600. Assuming.
therefore. a crop OF i0.000. 900. we have
a maximum supply Of only z.6se. e0e
bales with which to meet a minimum
demand Of 5000, 600.
Under the circumstances I believe
that cotton at 9 cents a pound Is very
cheap and that even at 10 cents a
pound the legimate demand for IL from
spinners who must have Ii, will be
more eager than II Is at present. So
far as the speculative market Is con-
cerned August IL logically the month
In which the stringency will be o
acuteiy felt, and I venture the opinion
that August contracts. which are now
selling at a discount of some Is points
as compared with July. will ultimately
prove to be h cheapest on the LIST.
