VENTILATION IN THE HAT.
Good for the Hair and Adds Not a
Little to the Comfort
of the Head.

Some ustomers have nonsensical
notions about the proper way to venti-
late a hat" said a fashionable halter,
to a New York Times man. I'm fact,
they are so whimsical about it that we
make the hats without ventilator
and try to suit the wishes of the Gus
toner after he has handed his money
to the salesman. Many stomers will
not have hat ventilated at all. Well,
they miss great deal OF comfort and
take long chances for badness in old
age. The English style, and the only
one that some buyers will adopt, is a
ring of perforated holes in the crown
of the hat. In my opinion, it is just as
well to have no ventilator at all as to
put it there. The best way is to have
two holes. one on each side of the hat,
Just above the band. Then you get
good circulation all the time. There
are ways of punching the holes artis-
tically so that they do not detract from
the appearance Of the hat But you
would be surprised at the number of
men who will not have them, some be-
cause it is not fashionable and others
because they think the hat will not
wear so we'll"

Gun boat on the Ohio.

Gunboats were common on the Mis-
sissippi river forty years ago. In
recent years the river has seldom
foated ships of the navy. Conse-
quently, when the monitor Arkansas,
one of the newest ships of its class,
steamed up the river recently on its
way to ST. Louis, it attracted much at
tention. 1t astonished and delighted
the people of Evansville, Ind, by max
ing an excursion up the Ohio as far as
that city, for not since the civil war
had any ship Of the navy touched at
that port. Both the Mississippi and
the Ohio are deep enough to float a
much larger vessel than the Arkansas

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 31.-Today's bank state
ment proved to be the usual enigma TO
stock market observers. The statement
reports a decrease IN cash OF SIS, 1874. 5000.
There are a number of stlmate compiled
every Friday of the weeks currency from
the bank officials themselves. Yesterday
none of these estimates regarded as re-
liable showed a cash outgo for the week
of less than thirteen million dollars and
some of them ran to over $15, 600, 600.
Last Saturday the bank statement IN its
item of cash reserves failed to show TIE
estimated decrease by $4, 000, 900. Under
the workings of the average system last
weeks discrepancy would tend to be cor
rected in this weeks statement. Ihls
conclusion is unavoidable that the actual
showing Of the cash reserve item IN the
bank statement, if it correctly represents
the actual condition of the banks. must
be based upon money movements not
disclosed to tie public in the information
upon which the Friday estimates ale
based. Today'S statement tailed II nave

and a very languld upward movement OF
prices resulted. This was partly due tc

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, N. c.. Oct. 31.-The cotton
market took things into its own hands
this morning and simply ignored the low
er Liverpool prices and factors that were
in any way against an advance. Bac
weather IN Texas was the feature of tile
morning and shorts simply fell over them
selves to buy cotton. 1t begins to look
as though the South was getting very
much interested in the long side of col
ton. The buying this week has been OF.
an enormous scale and the well known
propensity of the Southern Spectator to
keep on as long as the market advances
has brought big profits. In the event
OF a good advance now the level will be
where a reaction Of a matter Of half a
cent Will not shake holders out. The even.
OF the news recently has been the Brad
streets report on cotton. 1t is said the
evidences of a short crop are such as 20
make Indications point to a yield no lar
ger than last year, if as large. This is by
far the most serious news the spinner
could have. It means a serious time
before spring. While the market has al
ready had a good advance, no one knows
what may happen if buyers once get the
small crop idea firmly fixed in their minds.
There is nothing in cotton to sell the
market short on this year. In the event
Of a break we Would buy cotton to hold
for higher prices. Europe is much excl
ted over the situation, and the American
spinner may lose his head at any time.
Dry goods conditions are not favorable.
nor are finances, but cotton IS a buy on
any break around ten cents.
