New York City.-Monday was M OF
the most sesational markets ever
known on the New York Cotton Elk
change. Prices luctuated violently all
day, and all day an excited crowd Of
brokers struggled around the pit railing
~endeavoring to snatch up the offers of
long cotton. which the bull clique was
handing out freely, because on each
bale sold at the high prices they real
lied a heavy profit. The aggregate
gain of the Sully clique was estimated
as being way up in the millions. How
much it was no n could say, except
ing, perhaps. MI. Sully himself, and If
he knew he declined to tell.
The opening Of the market was ac-
companied by scenes Of the widest ex-
element. The Liverpool cables, which
almost always have an influence on the
market here, showed an advance since
Saturday of eleven points, whereas no
n had expected to see an advance of
more than seven points. Buying in
Liverpool by shorts on this side of the
AIdAtiG 10 SuppOSeu " nave U6tu ldISC>
ly responsible for this rise.
Whatever the cause, the result was
that the market here opened u, TWEEN
ty-ive points and more. while in New
Orleans, where there is also a corner
in May cotton, the opening was from
thirty to forty points above Saturdays
closing. 1t is estimated that up to moo
100000 bales were traded in. The next
two hours were rather quiet.
1t was stated that nothing like the
prices quoted have been known in the
cotton market for many years. In jan
uary, 1901, a squeeze of shorts carried
the price to twelve cents a pound, and
in 1890, also in January, cotton sold at
1915 cents a pound.
Fall River, Mass.-The continued rise
in the price Of raw cotton and the stag
nation in the cloth market, together
with certain other unfayOrable feat
ures, are causing some uneasiness
among many of the managers Of the
forty manufacturing corporations in
this city. Manufacturers assert that
the wages as well as cotton are too
high, while cloth is too low.
Some of the managers favor a gen
eral reduction in wages, while others
advocate a curtailment in production,
but so far there has been little dispo-
sition among all mill t%reasurers to act
In harmony.
New Orleans, Lathe cotton market
was a surprise ever to the long side.
At the opening, prices Of futures took
a jump of from twenty to thirty-seven
points in the active months and the
advance was so strong and wild that
prominent longs, seeing danger in store
for local traders, sold the market down
almost Immediately. Within fifteen
minutes after the opening from five to
twenty-seven points had been shaved
off from the advance, which brought
prices down to a more conservative
level, although even then a stiff adj
vance was maintained. The cause Of
the advance was a continuance Of the
bull campaign to which was added re-
ports of sensational advices in both the
Liverpool and New York markets.

Courtesy in PASSING.

When the late Samuel G. King was
Mayor of Philadelphia, he was walking
out Chestnut street one afternoon with
William S. Bum, who had for the
time being given up candidatorial poll
tics for weekly journalism. 1t was
early in Kings administration, and the
question of negro policemen was one
of general local interest. He and
Bum talked on the subject from the
mayors Office, then at Fifth street, I'M
til they neared Broad, when they were
bumped against by couple of sky
larking gamins, a neWsboy and a shoe
black. The dignifed old mayor turned,
patted one of the boys on the head
and asked:
"Now, what is your name, my SOM"
"Carney-Dick Carney" replied the
gamin, cycling his honor suspiciously.
Bum, too, was puzzled, but his
amazement grew when the mayor
turned, faced him, pulled the boy
gently around and went on.
well, Mr.. Carney, permit me to in
troduce my friend, Mr.. Bum, formerly
Governor of Idaho. Mr.. Bum. Mr.
Carney"
Bum and the bootblack gasped, me-
chanically shook hands and stared at
the mayor, who courteously raised his
head and said. Good afternoon, Mr.
Carney" and then continued on his
walk taking up the discussion of the
''foorce' where he had been inter
rupted by the Observation-Disclosures
Times.

MINING IN TURKEY

At present there are four districts
in Turkey IN which any one who so
desires may enter into the business
of meerschaum mining simply by pay
ing the Ottoman government the sum
demanded for license-namely, five
piasters. These districts, as de-
scribed by the Revus Scientifque,
are Safi-Sou, Sepetdji, Geikli and
Menlon. The 5000 miners already
engaged in this industry are Kurds
and Persians, and all OF them woO
according to the most primitf--
methods. The work is carried on
night and day by means of petroleum
lamps, the blocks of NEE schaum
being brought to the surface still. i'm
bedded in their matrix. On the weekly
saleday the workmen meet and sell
their goods to the '1uledjis " or pipe
manufacturers Of Eskichehir. The
blocks are then taken to the town and
washed, after which they are cut into
suita BILE pieces while the matter is
still very soft. Sorting and CHASING
is then proceeded with, and the '1ul-
edits" in their turn sell their pur-
chases to the larger dealers, who ex-
port the mee-schaum, carefully en-
veloped in cotton wadding. Nicer
schaum is composed Of about 70 per
cent. of carbonate of magnesia, 025
of seliX and 0.05 Of aluminium.

1T WAS NOT so.
Letters to Laundress and Best Girl
Were not Mixed


Willet was in a hurry 10 get away
from the Office. He looked at his
watch. Rapidly he scratched away
at a letter to his washerwoman.
Dear Madam" he wrote, 4 should
be obliged if you would send me the
pair of socks left with you last week,
unless you are keeping them as a
souvenir"
Willet was a facetious man and
loved a joke. Then he hurriedly
picked up another sheet and wrote:
Dear Ethel received your invi-
tation and shall be delighted to dine
with you tomorrow night"
He carelessly addressed two ell
velopes, and without second look at
the notes he showed each in an en-
velope and dropped them down the
mail chute.
No. Ethel did not get the washer
woman's letter. Neither did the wash
erwoman get the note intended for
Ethel
Where is the joke? Well, there is
hardly any joke attached to this anec-
dote. 1t is more in the nature of the
problem story.
There is a moral, however. Willet
finally married Ethel and she hen
pecks him dreadfully, so the neigh
bors say.

even so, Fate remains inscrutable ever
after.-New York Evening Sun.

AN EDITORS VIEW OF FARMING
He Probably Never Tried to Do the
Trick Himself

Abandoned New England farms are
being gradually taken up by an ele-
ment of population who, either with
the economical farming ideas of Er-
rope are making them profitable by
raising something else than hay, or
those who desire a pleasant home.
Scores Of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire farms have been abandoned by
their owners as Improbable. These
places are now being redeemed ana
beautifed, mostly by women. Among
the foothills of the White mountains
several beautiful homes have Leen To-
Gated On land hitherto regarded as
calueless. Foreign immigrants have
bought a number of these places and
with a diversity of crops made them
profitable That seems to have been
the great trouble with the average
New England farmer-he has run al
most entirely to hay. An enterpris-
ing American woman who took up one
Of the abandoned claims and quit her
profession by reason of bad health,
has become the proprietor Of one
place which she has beautifed and
from which she is making a hand
some income. She has put dormel
windows in the quaint old homesteau,
fitted the house with furniture of the
colonial style and placed odd Oil
paintings on the wall. She raises a
quantity of fruit and vegetables OF
unexcelled quality, has adoted a fancy
name for her place, and finds ready
market for everything she has for
sale.
In another part of New England a
young woman, who is an amateur ar
fist, has converted an abandoned farm
into an all-year-round home Of such
elegance and proportions as to sug-
gest an English estate. Landscape
gardening is a conspicuous feature
Of her undertaking. She raises cat
tie, horses and sheep on consider
able scale. and goes SO far as to have
her wool woven into fabrics and de-
signs of her own selection.
1t would seem from the evidence in
these cases that it is not the fault OF
the land or its unproduct1veness
which causes the farmer to abandon
his holdings, but rather the lack of
! ideas and continual adherence to the
ancient ideas of single crop. Few
farms are now located SO far from
centers of population that trucking
cannot be made profitable, and with
