IN A WILD RUSH
BROKERs CLAMORED TO BUY COT
TON IN THE PIT.
THEN UP SCARED THE STAPLE
TO MORE THAN so POINTS ABOVE
THE OPENING.

Low Estimate of the Government
Cotton Report Caused the wild
Rush of the Shorts to Cover ana
the Efforts of the Bulls to Add to
Their HoIdings-With the First
.Nine" of the Report Announced,
the Report to Buy Began.
New York, Dec. 3.-An unprecedented
,,1sh to buy, sensational soaring of
nrices upward and the heaviest sales
on record followed the announcement
on the New York Cotton Exchange of
the Agricultural Departments estimate
of the cotton crop of the present sea-
son at 1852, O39 bales.
At the sound of the word nine" in
dicating the number of million bales
I'm the estimate, a scene of franctic bid
ding set in, the shorts, in their excite
ment not waiting to learn that the
total estimate was but 37,961 bales
short of the round ten millions, and
instantaneously prices jumped from 10
to 20 points on the first sales, the rise
continuing until the advances of from
80 to 40 points were registered before
the close of an hour, and of from 60
to 70 points before the upward move
ment was checked.
Then the uncovering of long cotton
in tremendous volume at the advance
and the realization that the estimate
was practically 100000 bales caused
a temporary reaction, but soon an in
pour of buying orders from outside
markets and bullish reports sent prices
upward again, and at the high point,
reached shortly before the close, 70 to
81 points aboxe the low level of the
morning. The market closed strong, at
nearly the top. with prices net SO to
"A points higher. Sales were estimated
at 100000 bales, exceeding anything
before recorded, while prices broke all
records for this season of the cotton
year.
OFF Until Report Came.
The market opened this morning
with prices a little off from those at
the closing last night. The market was
depressed to 11.60c for January and
1L72c for March, May and July, and
there seemed to be disposition
among the bidders on both sides to
to postpone trading until the govern
D1ent crop report was received.
When the report was read at noon
the effect was electrical, and the i'm
mediate clamor of bidders drowned
the reading of all but the first figures
of the report Shorts did not want to
hear whether the estimate might be
only one bale less than 100000 or
only 100000, but in panic rushed to
cover and in fifteen minutes II cents
or more was being asked for every
option on the list.
Although the trade had been pre-
pared for q. low estimate, an average
OF private estimates put forward last
week by Cotton Exchange members
being 1O,953,OOO bales, nothing below
100000 had been anticipated, and the
Widest buying movement in the his
tory of the exchange ensued.
So great was the excitement, with
over 100 brokers seeking to buy, that
at times prices were 10 to Is points
apart in different sections of the pit
The volume of business was so great
and the excitement so intense that the
brokers were on the verge of collapse,
the maximum advance representing
an enhancement in value of from $500
to $3.50 per bale, and the fluctuations
meaning the gain or loss of fortunes.

HAND CAR COLLIDED

Men on the Hand Car Were Killed
or Injured.

Waverly o., Dec. 3.-Three men
were killed, two seriously injured and
two slightly injured in a collision be-
tween a hand car and a freight train
at Sargents, a few miles below here,
on the Norfolk and Western road. The
men were all on a hand car on their
way to Sargents to make some re-
pairs on a bridge, when they ran into

that neither the engineer Of the train
nor the men on the hand car were
aware of the approach until the mo-
ment of the accident.
The three dead men were bridge
carpenters and the injured men their
assistants.

their consideration?
Why do many clerks look with envy
ou their employers and rage over every
correction or sharp word?
Why 60 many persons behave more
courteously and kindly to outsiders
than they do TO the ones they really
love the best of all?
Why do many men laugh at women's
lack of business ability and yet sneer
aud rather lock down on the woman
who shows she has some?
Why do many children resent any
thing their parents say and look on
tLen rs bores and long to be grown up
SO as to escape from them?
Why do many rich folk look on their
poor relatives as being always on the
lookout for fayors and so prevent the
poor relatives from giving them little
presents or being natural with them?
Why do many husbands work hard
for their wives and family, but never
think how the wife would appreciate

a HOGS MOUTH.
The Way II Enables the Animal De
Eat nic Rory Nutr.

AbaC ~ ny ~ sSnst DIES tue nn1H1 fe
Eat Hickory Nuts.
People often wonder how 1t is that
d hog can get all the kernel out of q
hickory nut, or any other kind of nut
for that matter, without swallowing
any of the SHE'LL said n man from the
country but as matter of fact there
Is nothing mysterious about the proc
ess. Mind YOU. hogs don't swallow any
of these harder substances. They get
rid of them, and then it is just as easy
for them TO get rid of the shell of nut
as 1t Is for a man or squirrel. You
might think because hog crushes
the nut into small fragments that he
would necessarily swallow good por-
tion of Tie hull. But he doesn't do any
such thing.
1T Is conceded fact among men
who kpow anything about the subject
that the horse is the most perfectly con
structed animal in the world, consider
Ing the purposes for which the horse is
used and It's method and babits ln life.
But | want to put In good word fer
the hog when it comes to the thing of
cracking and eating nuts without get
ting any of the harder substances into
the stomach. The horse has very fine
teeth. The back teeth particularly are
finely constructed with n view of ena-
bling the horse to crush its food well
before passing II into the stomach.
These heavy grinders heavily set in
tho hnrGnfc iat 20
marvels. So they are.
"But what's the matter with the
teeth of the hog? What's the matter
with that marvellous process by which
they separate the kernel of the nut
from the hull? 1t has occurred to mo
that this is 10 small achievement, and
nature is at least entitled 10 some sort
of tribute for her skill in making this
result possible. In the first place the
bog's tongue is more sensitive than
would BE supposed and it can easily
detect the harder from the softer sub
stances. BY some sort of process the
hog is able to work the bits of n hicllo-
ry nut hull over TO the sides of IFS
mouth. the tongue being used for the
purpose. and here they are thrown out
at the corners. Probably you have no
tlced that the corners of a hogs mouth
are somewhat different frora the cor
ners of the mouths of other animals
The lines of the mouth do not end so
pointedly. and hence it is a much easier
thing for the hog TO work the harder
substances which he does not care IN
swallow out through these little open.

Time In Japan.

The japanese divide the twenty-four
hours into twelve periods. of which six
belong to the night and six to the day
their day beginning at sunrise and end

Whether the day or night be long oil
short. there are always six periods in
each. To attain this the characters OF
numerals on the scale are adjustable.
Two of them are set, one to agree
with the sunrise. the other with sunset,
and the four characters between them
divide the space into equal portions.
Thus when the period of daylight is
longer than tue night the day hours
will be proportionately longer than
those at night.
