Some very rich Cafe OF the Conspira-
ex-dictators and tors
x-presidents-they are much the same
thing-go to Paris to spend in luxury,
among the kings in exile" Of whom
Daudet wrote, the millions flched
from their countrymen and with diff
Guilty saved More come to New York
Here the two great South American
trading houses, the Flints and the
Graces, are popularity credited with
supplying the funds Of revolution and
counter-revolution. Their alleged &C
tivlties in this line, for the sake of
concessions" from successive parties
in power, have been woven into fic-
ton by Kipling and by Richard Hard
ing Davis and Harold Frederic.
The sober fact is that quite aside
from these alluring possibilities, here
is the mart for the smuggling of arms;
here and in Washington center the
management of business enterprises
that live in troublous states by pleas
ure of the executive, and that appeal
for gunboats to the secretary of state
when anything goes wrong.
Here, too, are arranged those little
wars ION the side" between rival trad
ers, as when brave hero of Santiago,
Capt. Rafferty,, was hired by one as
phalt trust to fight the soldiers of an
other in Venezuela.
Plctters and counter-plotters are po-
lite above all. And in New York they
seem to recognize neutral ground
where all quarrcls must cease until
they can be renewed beneath hotter
skies.

ABOUT PATENT LEATHER.
ture Are Guarded Very Care
fully from the Public.

Patent leather has become a feature
In the leather world, and it's making has
assumed considerable proportions here
abouts. Peabody is probably the largest
patent leather manufacturing place in
the country, though Newark, N. j., and
vicinity probably make more real and
imitation patent leather.
All manufacturers have their own tan
ming processes, much like those of the
calfskin tanner, though some patent
leather is given bark tanning. Horse
hide and colt skins are the chief feathers
made up with patent finish, and the
process of producing the glossy surface
is most interesting
The patent or enamel finish is really
painted and baked on, as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto frame. Tanners are very particu-
lar about keeping their processes Sc
cret, and nobody but workmen are ever
allowed into the finishing rooms. Paint
ers are especially kept far from the
work rooms. 1t is said that the work
men have to drink much beer On &C
count of the chemicals with which they
work, and the heat of the baking ovens.
The hide Or skin having been
stretched and dried as much as pos
sible, is first given a coating of mix
ture Of linseed oil, litharge, white lead
or similar materials, boiled together I'M
til they make pasty mixture. This
is daubed on the surface with a steel
tool, and well rubbed in so that the
pores of the leather will be filed up.
Then the leather is put into the oven,
it's surface being exposed to steam pipes
at a temperature of about 100 degrees.
1t takes about half day for this finish
to set.
Next the surface is rubbed down with
pumice stone, and then it is covered with
linseed oil and ivory black, about six
layers being applied, each layer being
dried and rubbed down. Finally var
nish is applied, and then the surface is
rubbed down and finished off as nicely
as painter finishes a fine carriage
The flnal gloss is brought out by ex-
posture to the sun. 1t is peculiar fact
that Old Sol brings out better finish
than can any artificial drying or bak-
ing process Manufacturers of high
grade patent leather test every skin
before shipping it. The test is made by
folding the hide or skin at any point
seized at random into double V. This
V is hammered with mallet. If the
finish cracks, the skin is rejected, and
if it does not crack, the leather is sent
to the shoe manufacturer patent
finish is on smooth surface and an
enamel on boarded. japan or lacquer
leather is the same as patent. A
"boarded" surface is a surface whose
grain is raised by roughing it up with
a piece of board.-Newport News.

New York, February 27-Cables were not up to expectations this morning when we opened, and the result was lower market. The feeling was mixed, but bulls felt confident of holding their position, while prepared for more or less set backs of temporary nature Back or the movement there is such fine spot demand, and clamor for raw material that there is every reason for looking for a higher market for some time
 The Liverpool statistical situation remains Very strong. The stocks there in- creased during the week 54,OOO bales, but the afloat stocks lost 43000, leaving the figures today 435,0OO still behind last year for warehouse and afloat stock combined. Continued wet weather was re- ported in the south and especially in Texas, and there Is not the slightest evi- dence of an increased movement but rather just the contrary Such long spell of bad weather is unknown to the oldest inhabitants, and it may be ac- cepted as fact that Texas will make a very late start with her next crop, so late in fact. as to make the move ment quiet moderate The market turned firmer after the opening. Port receipts 27,- 600 against SS,0oO last year. The insight was estliaated by Hester at 166,O0O against 192 900 last year.

LOCAL MARKETS.


 Yesterday was unusually quiet in all local markets except the cotton market and quotations remained steady.
 Cotton is the livest issue before the spectators of today. Every day shows remarkable activity and quotations are exceedingly nervous. On yesterday the prices were as follows: Good middltng 15-16c strict midding 15-16c, middlihg l1-16c, strict low middlng 1-16c low middling 3-16c. Ten-cent cotton is an accepted fact in several parts of the state and it seems quite likely that spot win continue at the present high level for an indefinite time, as there seems to be no inclination on the part Of the large pool interests to realize on their holdings.
 Yesterdays quotations on stocks and bonds hold good for today. The market is featureless.
 Trading along Morris avenue was lively, although the weather was not favorable for operations in fruit and produce. The activity in eggs and poultry continues noticeabl Irish potatoes are good sell CTS at 75 to soc per bushol Apples and oranges are arriving daily. Some very fine specimens of the former came in yes terday from Missouri The Ben Davis and the Missouri pippln are some Of the varieties. The fruit is in the pink of con dition and will find a ready sale at $3.O0 per barrel
 Trading is good in staple groceries but prices are very steady. The heavy de- mand for food stuffs continues so that the dealers are kept busy filling large or ders for corn, oats and hay. Drays are continually passing loaded down With these staples, especially baled hay.
 Grocerymen will watch with interest the actions of the railroad commissioners In regard to the new railroad bill recently passed by the legislature as freight rates and the conduct of the railway systsms are of vital importance to wholesalers
