Standing Up Well Against
Adverse Circumstances.
VERY ACTIVE AT THE END
In the Cotton Mnket There Seems to be Dis.
position to Await tn, Bureau Report
Before Operating Very Ex-
tens'v-ly.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Nov 23.-Values in dry goods
stances and predictions are not infrequen
that before long prices will show an ad
vance. This outlook however, did not
cause any great interest on the part Of
buyers. who are still conducting their op
crations in a very conservative manner.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. Nov 23.-The cotton mark
et opened firm at an advance of Q TO l.
points on better cables than expected, a
bullish crop estimate by local house
and prospects for rather lighter receipts
for the day. After little further firm
ness. the market became less active and
the estimate for tomorrows receipts at
Houston rejecting very large movement
the general ruling became rather easier.
There was liquidation and soon the adj
vance had been cut down to matter
of G 10 9 points on the active months.
Then came partial recovery on renew
al oil covering by room shorts, but with
the weather of q favorable average and
the estimates for tomorrows receipts at
New Orleans and Galveston also very
heavy. the market soon began to sag off.
While more or less irregular it ruled rath-
or weak during the balance OF the session.
The close was at a very slight recovery,
the range being net 1 to points higher
with the tone quiet and steady Sales
were estimated at 100000 bales. Trading
was not SO active as the recent average
and there still seems TO be disposition
among both classes of traders TO await
the bureau report before operating.
Cotton receipts at the ports today were
59,Gls bales, against II, $50 last week and
5l,664 last year. For the week 100000
bales. against 447 1897 last week and 3e2,

Orleans were 1854 bales. against 1861

An Englishman who has Just returned

ton Of the way you spend an evening"

make your appearance than your host
drags you to his den and makes you

wise and diplomatic, you will dodge as
many of the ante-prandial drinks as
possible, with view to your comfort
later on. But you have got to be very
skillfu about this. Most Russian hosts

1t Is most surprising what number
Of little things we do without knowing

why for instance, do widows wear
capsY Perhaps you may say because
they make them look pretty and inter-
estlng But the real reason Is that when
tne Romans were In England they
shaved their heads as a sign Of mourn-
ing VI course, a woman couldn't let
herself be seen with bald head, so she
made herself a pretty cap. And now,
though the necessity Of wearing It has
passed away, the cap remains.
