A GIimpse of Tennyson.

Apprehension of being mobbed by the
"profane vulgar" amounted, as is well
known, almost.to monomania with the
poet Tennyson. Many good stories are
told in illustration of this weakness of
his. One of the best of them will per-
haps bear repetition.
Lord Tennyson was taking a country
walk with a friend, when fellow
creature was espied in the distance.
1--WE must turn back" said the poet
''That fellow means to waylay u.s."
His companion persuaded him. how
ever, to continue on their path. They
caught up to the enemy and passed
him. He took no notice of them what
ever. "What an extraordinary thing?'
cried the irate poet. THE fellow seems
to have no idea who am"

THREE PLUMP BABIES.

isn't it," said the other old bachelor
to the one.
Three women had come into the
street car at different intervals with
babies of different intervals. The first
baby was a lusty child with nerve test
Ing lungs. The second was about a
year old, and the mother, just little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glares, finally gained courage to take a
bottle from a grip and plug up baby's
mouth with a rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest of them all and
entered the car mere white bundle In
the arms of a dignified matron hardly
out of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle,
which had been somewhat disarranged
in the haste to embark, the proud
mother first unfolded cunning pair of
blue worsted booties that might fit a
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs, which
were as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by q procession of gowns
all of Waite, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor-
ously, and baby's laces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw a soft cloak from
the other end, disclosing a round face,
pair of blue eyes wide open in amaze
ment and as pretty and baldheadeq a
baby from end to end as ever made a
bachelor-angry at his own lost oppor-
tunities. Then the three mothers smil-
ed at each others baby.

soon fades. The proportion of white

Why She Was Silent.

A very silent old woman was once
asked why it was-she had so little to
say. She replied that when she was
a young girl she was very i'll and could
not talk for a long time. Whereupon
she made a VOW that if speech were
given her once more she would never
again say anything unkind Of anybody.
And thus she was as they found her.

points higher on covering and some
buying by the January pool, but fol-
lowing the call quickly lost the rise
under selling by room longs and for
elgn interests. The commission houses
reported very little public interest in
the staple at the moment and the
South and West appeared to ignore
the market for the time being. Later
IN the day there was a slight rally
with the January option at the close
supported by syndicate brokers. The
early factors of bullish importance
were light receipts, bad weather news
from the eastern belt, where heavy
rains have fallen and a better class of
Liverpool cables than expected The
forecast for tomorrow was for show
ers to rains over portions of the east
ern belt and colder weather with frost
IN the western crop country. The ad-
vices from Southern spot markets told
OF brisk export demand, these state
ments being confirmed sby large clear
ances. The local trade, however, was
indlsposed to take the bull side at a
Tune when the stock market was de-
pressed by strike news. The market
at the close was quiet and net 3

cline, and Lackawanna sold UP per
cent. at the first and only offering of
the day. BY the end Of the first hour
the weakness of the list became more
marked, though with no direct evil
dence of pressure to sell. Losses Of a
point or more were then shown by
Atchison, New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio. Reading,
Erie, Louisville and Nashville, Ches-
apeake and Ohio, Norfolk and West
ern, Texas and Pacific, Missouri Pa
cific, st. Louis, Southwestern prefer
red, st. Louis and Western, Canadian
Pacific, Sugar, Amalgamated Copper
and Hide and Leather preferred.
With scarcely an exception, the
heaviness of these issues continued
throughout the day, and in some in
stances became more acute. There
were a few feeble rallies, but these
were limited to fractions. and the early
afternoon brought turn of general
weakness.
The only noteworthy feature was the
decline in the rate for commercial pa
per, which was last week practically
unobtainable at less than the legal
rate, but to-day fell to 51605% This
rate was secured by borrowers Of first
rate commercial credit, and was gem
orally accepted by interior banks,
which prefer to loan money to mer-
camille interests rather than obtain
the higher rate in Wall street. Bank
ing experts regarded this ease as es-
pecially significant in showing the
downward tendency of money. A slight
advance was shown in sterling ex-
change and 1t was believed there had
been a heavy accumulation OF CONNER
cial bills over Sunday. Exchange was
quoted at $4.S6. 50@4.S6.60. In spite of
this increased frmness, gold exports
are regarded as more remote than
ever. The final hour found the list
even more narrow, with a flrmer con-
traction'of business. One of the special
features was a 10-point decline In
Brooklyn Union Gas and other high
priced stocks were off 2D3 points. The
closing was weak. Further gross and

New Orleans, Oct. 27.-Early Liver
pool adVices were better than expected
and as receipts were light, our market
opened to higher and ruled steady
for some time thereafter on predictions
OF frost tonight in exposed localities
OF Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory. The continuance of general
ly favorable weather, and the later
easiness in Liverpool, however, subse-
quently caused a break of to from
the top. Near the close, a rally of 8
from the bottom was established, but
the easier feeling in spots occasioned
another slight decline, making the net
loss to points on the day.
Manchester cables say there was
more activity in the cloth market last
week, with considerable business in
several directions, although quotations
were not always maintained. There
were fair sales for China. India Offer
ed freely, but the limits were often I'M
workable and the rates demanded were
stubbornly resisted. The weather bu-
reau expects that the temperature will
fall over the greater part of the belt
tonight and that frost will proba bly,
occur in exposed places in Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. That
colder weather and light frost may be
realized in exposed localities in the
Southwest is anticipated, yet there
were no indications for a general kill
ing frost. 1t must also be remembered
that in few days we will have reach
ed the first of November and that dur
ing the interim favorable conditions
have added largely to the yield, con-
siderably exceeding the expectations in
outturn held some six weeks ago. Re-
ceipts are light and will continue so
until fhoro 10 do0fdoA {y, he
demand from spinners. The weather
and the demand for spots will be the
principal factors in regulating the flu
ture course of the market yet 1t must
not be forgotten that sentiment is very
bullish, and that any encouraging fea-
ture will quickly superinduce an en-
hancement in values.

murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. Oct 27.-Prices in the
early cotton market showed an i'm
provement on small transactions. The
absence OF any new feature of i'm
portance over Sunday tended to limit
speculation. There was considerable
rain in portions of the Atlantic states,
notably at Savannah. where close to
inches was reported. 1t was claim
ed that this would prove more harm
full than beneficial. Furthermore the
Journal of Commerce published reports
of improved conditions in both the
Carolinas, the receipts early in the
day were running quite moderate and
cables were lacking in anything go

market than a swing of prices to be

The undertone was easy, however, with
the demand not sufficient to absorb
the offerings at the inside price. Some

had touched bottom. as the reaction
had then carried the price down from
