COTTON MARKETS,

NEW YORK. July little cotton market
opened easy with prices unchanged to 2S points
lower and subsequently ruled quiet with trad
ing of a local character and small, except for
moderate selling orders, inspired by the gener'

accounts. The market also derived a weak un,
dertone from, poorer class OF cbles than look.
ed for, Selling for short account, however. WAS
checked by continued fears OF renewed manI
rulaton. Towards noon the trading level was
2d16 points under the closing Of tho previous
day. with the decline mainly on the nearer
positions.

Is WEDS
NIECE
Girl Is One Third His Age.
N3ighbors Show DlsappT0vaI
by Throwing Junk.

New York. Dec 23.-The announcement
just made at Chatham. N. j.. OF the
marriage OF a civil swar veteran, seventy
five years old. TO his niece, about twenty
five. has caused considerable comment.
The husband is Ephraim Kramm, who
bought twenty years ago a farm on the
south slope Of Long Hill. between Chat
ham and New Providence
AS a farmer he was fairly successful
and with his pension Mr.. and Mrs.
Kramm got along fairly well Their chill
dren had died in youth. and they were a
lonely couple. Eight years ago they made
a summer resort of their place. To give a
helping hand, Miss Della Pitcher. a
niece OF Mr.. Kramm. was sent for. Ever
since Miss Pitcher has resided with or
near the Kramms. living almost entirely
on the bounty OF her uncle and aunt, who
came TO regard her as a sort OF adopted
daughter.
In last July Mrs. Kramm died. II SEEM
ed only natural that Miss Pitcher should
remain to keep house for her aged uncle,
and not even Mrs. Grundy had aught to
say against II. Various rumors OF ap-
preaching marriage were only laughed at,
Tor the great diHerence In age seemed to
effectually preclude the possibility. The
announcement is now made that the wed
ding occurred about three weeks ago. the
ceremony being performed by the rector
OF the Summit Episcopal church.
To show their disapproval of the mar
riage the young folk OF New Providence
gave them a skimmerton last Saturday
night. and brought with them a whole
wagonload OF such presents as the scrap
