should this view be substantially
borne out by subsequent DEVELOPMENTS.
the increased crop estimates aided by
the tendency toward decreased con-
sumption must result in a lower level
OF prices. Speculation, however, is
rampant, with all sorts of rumors
ABOUT the recent formation of powerful
new pull pools, all of which should not
be taken for more than they are worth.
Ihere are reliable reports that farmers
are holding cotton for a further adj
vance. Present prices are splendidly
remunerative, and ought to be thank
Iully accepted. Some may hold six
months, lose at least a cent pound by
loss in weight and expenses, and then
md themselves obliged to sell a de-
cline of perhaps 2 cents from cur
rent quotations.

The Cloth Market.

Manchester, Nov. 22-The cloth mar
ket was devoid of special. feature dur
ing the past week, except for the
transaction of a fair amount of bust
ness, which was, however, unevenly
distributed. The tone prevailing was
for the most part steady, and the
market showed a healthy tendency.
Producers were in a better position,
compared with a few weeks ago, to
meet low offers. BUYERS found the
market less easy to operate. China
generally is well supplied and the
prices demanded discouraged opera
lions. The India inquiry was plenti-
full and resulted in considerable trade.
South America took moderate par
cells, varying in character. Yarns were
steady with a fair business and a
much improved position.

story has undergone to make it's pro-
duction in book form possible. Eska
luna's Pearls, the Winter Picnic, Young
Lochinvar and all the other familiar
incidents and escapades of the jolly
six are retained and some new ones
added. 1t was always a capital story,
an animated record of girlish fun and
frolic simple, natural and attractive,
and it is even better now than at its
first appearance.

first piece of short fiction the author of

the last three years 1t Is a political

1.-THE Shenandoah Valley and Vir-
ginia, 1861 to 1865" A war study, by
Sanford C. Kellogg, U. S. A. The
Neale Publishing Company, New York.
During the period of the Civil War
the city of Winchester, Va, in the
lower Shenandoah valley was occu-
pied or abandoned no less than sixty
eight times by the troops of both ar
mics. That city changed command
ers SO often that it became the GUS
tom for residents each morning before
leaving their houses to ascertain
whether the Stars and Bars or the
Stars and Stripes were aloat. With
such quickly shifting scenes, and with
the very atmosphere pregnant of mill
tary ardor and deeds of bravery there
were necessarily thrilling tales to be
told of the campaigns. Many of these
tales are told in the volume under
consideration. The narrative begins
with the seizure of Harper's Ferry
and continues to the battle of Cedar
Creek, and is study of the operations
of both sides during the period COW
cred. The data used in the work have
been verified from official records.

less pressure from a shipping stand

during which her station at sea will be
