mis- was another interesting day in
-. oo+ton market as marking a most
uroronnced step in the present upward
p.,,rso Of prices. New York closed firm
y, IN 70 IL points advance, While New
o.,oans scored the sensational rise of
30 roints with the feeling bullish and
.,dications pointing to even higher
,rices. There is apparently no longer
anv doubling that the bulls have the
market under complete control, and
.ba better opinion of the trade is that
,-icas are TO go materially advanced
before they are let off. The current be-
lief is that the present campaign is
based upon legitimate market intiu-
cnces largely. judging from the vol
ur,e If outside purchases, and the
General interest which has developed
in the market.
While the dispatches show the
movement 20 be falling off some.
thereby confirming the prediction of
thf bulls of several days ago, the in
auence that is probably having most
effect is the firmness of spot markets,
which led the rise to-day. All through
the season holders have been playing
an important part in the market, and
have apparently disregarded the OPP
erations of the big people in the spec
ulative centers. Savannah closed
steady 1sc up, and other spot markets
were also higher. Exporters were free
buyers at many points, and their
eagerness to get supplies is imparting
substantial strength to the market.
Turpentine closed firm at 42c, with
the off rings taken. Rosin closed quiet
with X and above 10c up. The follow
ing is to-day's resume of the markets.:

COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
Cashiers and Bank TeIlers Detect
Them by Instinct.

Tt seems wonderful to the casual
observer that cashiers, bank tellers
and others who handle large
amounts of paper money are able at
a glance to detect bad note. Ex-
actly what it is that does expose the
counterfeit the best experts find it
difficult to tell. They say they know
it instinctively. They judge not
only by the looks of a note, but by
the "feel" of it.
It is obvious that counterfeit
note must be widely circulated to
make it profitable. No sooner does
q counterfeit appear than its de-
scription is widely published. Those
who are likely to suffer by taking
counterfeit notes make it their busi-
ness to be on the lookout for new
ones, which are soon distinguished
BILE by some easily discovered mark.
A teller knows Of just what de-
nominations are the counterfeits
and just where to look for the tell
tale marks. He detects the spurious
note as easily as the reader does a
misspelled word. 1t is no particular
effort. 1t is habit.
The principal reason why coun-
terfeits are SO easily detected is be-
cause in some feature they are al
most uniformly Of inferior quality.
This is, indeed, the main protection
of the public. Genuine notes are
engraved and printed almost regard
less of cost, and the very best mate
rails are used in the engraving and
printing. It is done in large estab-
lishments, with costly materials and
by the best workmen. It is prac-
tically impossible for counterfeiters
to do as well. They must work in
secret and at disadvantage and Of
necessity cannot have the expert
ence to produce s,1ch perfect, work.
If they get the engravings done
nicely, they fail in the printing, or
if they get the engraving and print-
ing done well they fail in securing
the proper paper.
Of late years there has been a
great deal of care taken to get paper
manufactured expressly for the
notes issued by the government.
The national bank notes are also is

sources Of supply for exactly that
kind Of paper are controlled.-NeV
York Herald
Crank Landlords.

The other day a Partisan land
lord expelled tenant because he
had become the father of a fourth
child. His lease stipulated that he
had to leave if he had a family OF
more than three children.
Another strange clause in lease
is attracting attention. A gentle
man recently hired an apartment
and signed a lease in which it was
particularly stipulated that if ever
onion soup we're cooked in his apart
ment he would have to quit at
moments notice.
i. Itsso happened the gentleman was

The Street Market, CoIoune.

This street market is a peculiarly
democratic institution and one rap
idly becomes friendly with the sales
women or even chance passerby,
entcapped unawares and becomes
purchaser like oneself. Thrift
and sturdiness are the distinguish
ing characteristics Of these Rhine
land peasants. They know well how

babble about the focks and the

delicious are the mountain straw
berries, fresh cheese and thick
cream which these clever house
wives bring in from the country,
especially to tempt hotel weary
travellers. One eats the little lunch
con with leckerly-sweet cakes-in

line the Cologne market, gazing on
the tiled houses which grit it about
and catching glimpse of the cathe-
dral's slender spire, pointing ever
aloft, rising above ali, patiently re-
mote and in its superb proportion
of matchless architecture, making
