HAD PLENTY OF FUN.
Miss Grace Brown aud her Friends with
Farm Wagon.

Miss Grace RSawp, who is cashier
in her, Jther's store on Broadway,
when about to drive home from the
store about ten O'Clock p. m. was
5oined by some young friends and for
joke she and Will Sexton got in her
brothers great big farm wagon which
was attached to the other wagon to
be drawn by it to their stables at her
home on John street, while two others,
Leon Cozzens and Richard Mack, got
in the other wagon and drove the
horse.
Miss Brown, who is one of South
Amboy's popular young ladies and
full of fun, was enjoying the ride i'm
mensely when just as they got in front
of Turner's store the two young fellows
detached the farm wagon and drove
On, leaving Miss Brown and young
Sexton sitting in it without any horse
and of course the effect can be imag-
1ned, as there were more or less people
on the streets. The young fellows
finally returned, attached the wagon
ngain and drove on as far as John
Snllivan's 8 store and again left them
standing there. Cries of "horse ran
away" etc., were heard amidst up
roars of laughter and everybody rush
ed out to see what Ethe trouble was.
No one enjoyed it more than the vic
tim of the Joke, Miss Grace Brown.
After while the young fellows re-
turned minus the horse and wagon
which they had taken to the stables,
and they took hold of the farm wagon
and away they went, down on the
borough dock and and back, finally
reaching Miss Browns home. If, as
the old saying runs, laughing will
make one grow fat, Miss Grace Brown
onght to get like Barnum's fat woman.

 Gilbert & Clays Cotton Letter to Goth
 ran & Co.
 The last day of the year 1902 was char acterized by a very steady tone in the cotton market. The growth of sentiment in favor of a higher level of sprices has not been impeded, though the spirit of conservatism continues to dominate all transactions, and this fact alone is re- garded as one of the features of strength in the situation. The English market assumed a holiday attitude today Spots were quoted two points higher with sales of 5000 bales but deliveries registered a decline of one point. evidently under the influence of scattered liquidation.
 Trading here was in the nature of varie- ty, though moderated in quantity Slight fluctuations were created by the different orders received but the tone held steady throughout the day The trade is about to enter the year of 1903 with the general surroundings of the cotton market ap- parently conductive to the maintenance of the existing level of value, if not to the establishment of a material advance One thing is certain that substantial evidence will be required in the shape of a decided increase in the movement to cause any reconsideration of large crop views. and the developments of next month will be watched with exceptional interest The seasons compliments being now in order, we take this opportunity to express the wish that good health. happiness and prosperity will be showered upon you in the new year.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton market was somewhat stronger yesterday and advanced one sixteenth. The wagon receipts were sixty bales.
 There was practically no change in the stock and bond market.
 There will be few real new year dinners today if it takes turkeys to constitute such. There were scarcely any dressed turkeys on the market yesterday and the few were selling from 1S@20 cts. pound.
 There is very little demand for chickens and the frying sizes sell from 15d25 cents each, while hens are bringing 30 and 8 cents. Eggs are also weak, being quoted at 25 cents per dozen for fresh stock and 23 cents for the cold storage product.
 Butter is firm, being quoted at 20 cents for the Tennessee product and 2l1a cents for elgin stock.
 Oranges are still high and bring from $3.00 to s325 box.
 Owing to the large crop of sweet pota- toes in southern Georgia and Florida, the market is glutted, but the stock is fine, being quoted at from 65 to 90 cents a bushel.

New York, December S0.-The E cotton market opened firm at an advanc& of 20 points For the day preceding a holiday speculative operations were on ' scale mest satisfactory to the trading interests,
 with prices close up to the best pAint of the season, and 80 points above the lowest
 on the present crop. January start&l out

 vance to points soon after the caR It's
 highest point was s.71 or points above

 the feature was good buying for Wall
 street poe, interests and by pronlfnent
 Philadelphia people. There was aIso a good general demand early in the S9sson

 gard the present rather liberal pfrt re- ceipts as but temporary. expecting them to be followed by less oppressiveF arrivals
 in the near future. The EnglHh cables
 while opening to points lcAwer, later
 contributed considerable aid b the bulls by showing a partial recFery. yet it
 could hardly be said thatfthe final ad-
 vances from abroad disnlAyed a hearty
 response to the bullish deYelopments here
 during the session. LGte offerings by
 room traders were so quickly absorbed by the market as to check aggressiveness along this line. From the south the re- port was bullish as to the spot situation, but exporters were ready buyers of the staple. At one time during the afternoon | prices lost several points under local realizing, but this was followed by return
 buying except in the case of January,
 which closed about points under the | top. The market closed officially very
 steady in tone, with quotations from to
 10 points higher, late positions showing | the greatest improvement. Total sales of | futures were estimated at 450,000 bales. | New York, December 31.-Cotton quiet;

Murphy ( Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York December 31.-Despite more or less talk of a reactionary movement in cotton, early prices showed a further hardening tendency on a moderate busi- ness. With uncertainty as to the out come of January contracts disposed of by yesterdays big issue of notices. people see less cause for hesitation and the in- terest has been shifted to March and May
 As before often stated, most everything turns on the amount of cotton to be mar keted in the next sixty days. Hints of free interior receipts in the near future are freely given, but there Is nothing to show that this will be borne out. The key to the situation is as to the amount at uncounted towns and still unpicked
 While we are receiving daily reports of cotton still in the fields, there Is nothing to lead us to conclude that the amount Is greater than usual at this season of the year. Prices are moderate and there Is more reason for expecting bull market than otherwise, especially as there Is nothing to justify big crop estimates. Prices varied slightly after tie opening and the demand was light. Port receipts
