When the pretty black eyed girl got
on the crowded Broadway car, at least
six men got up and offered a seat to
her. She could only take one, but ev-
cry man who had made the tender pro-
ceeded to take his reward for the prof
fered courtesy by staring at her. One
could hardly tell from her manner
whether she was embarrassed by the
double barreled gaze of nearly every
man in the car for even the corpulent
old man who sat near the door did not
pretend to keep one eye on his paper.
81 think those men are rude to stare
at that girl" said lean woman to her
companion.
The old man leaned over and in a low
voice said to the lean woman:
Don't worry about her being embar.
rassed. She likes to be stared at. She
is my niece, and ought to know

Whenever Mr.. Cavendish entertained
his guests he would always give them
the same fare-a leg of mutton 4
story goes that one day when four
friends were coming it was asked him
what should be ordered for dinner. He
answered, "A leg of mutton" Sir"
was the reply, that will not be enough
for five" We'll, then, get two" said
the host. When this gentleman died. he
was the largest holder of bank stock in
England. He owned E1.157 900 in diff
ferent public funds, besides freehold
property of $4,000 a year and a bal
ance of 100000 on account. This large
income was allowed 10 accumulate
without attention. On one occasion.

There Are No Artists In Burma.

There are as yet no artists in Bur-
ma, and to see how the people draw
we must examine the designs of the
decorator, the gilt lacquer maker, the
silversmith and the wood carver. 1t is
true that pictures may be seen in some
of the houses of the we'll to do. Many
of these are panels taken from the
base of the funeral pyre of monk, and
the others are similar productions made
to order by decorators. These pictures
are remarkable chiefly for the glaring
cOlOrs used, for the absence of any
composition and for the distorted per-
spective common to oriental repre-
sentatiOns. The drawing is, however,
good, the attitudes are lifelike and the
story is generally well told.
To European eyes the attitudes ap-
pear distorted as to the perspective,
but it needs a very slight knowledge
OF the country to recognize that the
Burmans habitually place themselves
in the most ungainly positions. After
more intimate acquaintance with their
mode of life we find out that these
very attitudes are esteemed graceful
and are only acquired after years of
practice.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
By William T. Williams.

The cotton market sobered down a
good deal during the past week. "A
pretty firm feeling prevailed most of
the time, which was largely due TO
some buying of new crop months in
anticipation of a bullish bureau report
on June 4. The New York market
closed points higher for July at
11.16c; August is S points lower at
1860. September was the strongest
month, closing 20 points higher at
a.99c Later months II to Is points
higher. October 9.5Sc; December 9.40c.
New Orleans closed about Is points
higher for both Old and new crops.
The outside public was not very
much in evidence, except persistent
bullish representations from New
York commission houses induced some
buying of late months. The main
support of the market, however, APP
peared to come from the bull clique,
who are now very likely anxious to
realize to advantage. Generally speak
ing, the news of the week was bearish,
splendid weather having caused much
improvement in crop conditions. The
demand for spot cotton has pretty well
stopped, except for delivery on con-
tract. Sales in Liverpool for the week
were only 81, 900 bales, as against $4,000
the week before, and $4,000 two weeks
ago.
1t looks as if a pretty bullish bureau
report has been already discounted,
and the report may not prove as bull
ish as expected. Even. if it is, it's eff
feet will be much weakened by the
knowledge that considerable better
ment has occurred since the date of
it's data. 1t is also very necessary to
remember that the speculative condi-
ton of the market is quite different
now from what it was a month ago.
Then the outside was heavily short
now the shorts have covered, and the
outside is perhaps just as heavily long.
1t looks like the new crop months are
a good sale around current prices.
Such planters as are able to do so,
should take advantage of them by SELL
ing against their crop.
Grain markets quiet. Wheat is
about unchanged except that May went
out at a decline of &c. July closed
1890. Corn is about 1c higher on two
much rain in the West; July, 451kc.
Oats were a small fraction higher,

may have been in these the true rea-

reaction following the excessive infla-

Not only is the present supply of Sc
curities greater than the market is
capable of absorbing, but at this
awkward juncture we are treated to
an enormous increase in the supply.

is known that other leading railroad
systems are contemplating heavy is

These new securities of standard cor
porations are sure of a market at a
price, and as long as public buying
power is limited they force the selling
of less desirable securities.
There is no occasion to fear panic;
simply because the material for
