NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. The cotton market
opened firm at decline of one point on
August to nm advance of 5G9 pc hts on
the Other options, following cab es that
wereSa little better than due but ruled
very quiet and at noon was net 7Q11
points lower, prices having sold off under
realizing. The gu. ct, however, was the
quiet that precedes the storm, for prompt
ly at the room hour the government crop
estimate was reed, showing a probable
crop of only 1852, O39 against commercial
crop last year placed at about 1927 900
bales. This report proved even more bull
ish than ha>- been generally expected and
WIS followed by the widest market ever
witnessed in the Cotton Exchange, not
even excepting the days of the old bull
campaign. First prices were at jump OF
10 points, and following this, values were
rushed higher and CHER with prices only
q short half hour after the call represent
ing an advance of about So % bale, or
1926 trading contract. Thousands of bales
changed hands about these figures.
Shorts were absolutely demora,ized and
instead of the heavy liquidation for the
local bull leaders they seemed to be bid
ding for cotton more rapidly than any one.
After passing the Il cent mark the mar
ket showed down / tile it seemed as
though the most pre- sing demand had
been filed and profit-taking eased prices
off Is 10 30 points. On the decline, how
ever, there was another wild rush of buy
ing as the report became more widely cir
cuiated and soon prices were again soaring
upward. Dur ng the balance of the SEES
sion there was some irregularity, but the
market, generally speaking, was sersa-
tionally strong and the high point was
reached just before the close, when De
cember sod at Il 80. January 1916, March
at 1853, May at 1857 and July at Il. Sc or
1911 points above the lowest point of the
morning.
The market closed just little down
from this level but strong, net 60 to "A
points higher. with sentiment still so far
as could be judged very bull:sh, while in
New Orle,ns the advance was continued
and showed a greater net gain than did
local prices. Sales for the day were esti-
mated at 100000 bales, this being the
largest for any single day on record. Re-
eeipts for the day were again smaller than
expectle, falling below last years, and
predictions of a decreased movement were
heard ON every hand, though the recent
advance might be expected to stimulate
marketing. Spot cotton in New York was
advanced to the basis of 1916 for mid
ding upiands and TIE Southern SPOT mar
kets were unchanged to q higher.
Cotton receipts of cotton at the ports to-
day 1851 against 3S.623 last week and ST.
240 last year. For the week 100000 bales
against 377,693 last week and 326,071 las
year. Todays receipts at New Orleans
were 1876 bales, against 1890 last year
and at Houston 22.7S5 bales, against 6,S69

HEAVEN.
BY g. o. WHITNEY.

Heaven do not believe to be place
whose streets are literally of gold, and
whose walls are of ''precious stones"
but regard these as types used to con-
vey to the mind an idea of what
Heaven is. The mind cannot imagine
anything which has not been previous
ly represented to it in some form or
other, through the medium of the
senses; hence it is only able to con-
ceive of heaven by approximation; it
can grasp it only by ascending an
earthly ladder. There was therefore
no other way for God to picture heaven
to the mind than by using the most
beautiful and valuable materials of
which man has knowledge. Had he
described heaven in heavenly language
it would have been unintelligible to
US, entirely beyond our comprehension.
We are justified in believing that
heaven will be place whose resources
for happiness will be exhaustless,
where nothing will be permitted to
enter which in itself is not capable of
giving delight to the soul, where the
very sight of each other will fill the
soul with rapture of which we cannot
even conceive here.

Andrew D. White, who has been
resting quietly in Italy since his re-
lease from the cares Of the German
Embassy at Berlin, has just sent to
The Century Magazine the first part
Of manuscript upon which he has
long been engaged, consisting of rem
iniscences of his diplomatic life.
The present part covers his recollec-
tions of Beaconsfield, the Emperors
William I and Frederick, Bismarck,
Browning, and other famous European
statesmen and writer's. Furthur pa
pers will include recollections of his
recent embassy to Berlin. DR. White,
who is graduate of the famous Yale
class of '53, has filled many diplomatic
positions, beginning with n.attache-
ship of the United States legation in
St Petersburg, when he was a very
young man. He was special commits
sioner to Santo Domingo in 1871, com.
missioner to the Paris Expositin of
1878, minister to Germany 1879 81 (his
first mission to Germany, minister to
Russia 1924, member of the Venezu-
elan Commission OF 1s96-97, member
Of the Peace Commission at the Hague,
and ambassador to Germany (his sec
and mission) from 1897 until his recent
resignation and retirement. The re.
collections of such life are to be OF
very great interest. The papers will
begin to appear in an early number OF
The Century.

TOWN TOPICS.
AN AUTOMOBILE FURNISHES Ex-
ClFEr1ENT.
Mr. AND MRS GEORGE A. LAKE THROWN
FROM THEIR WAGON.

There was lively runaway, Satur-
day evening, in which an automobile
figured. The automobile was driven
by Mr. Chittenden of Bridgeport, who
had as his companion Hon H. q. War
ner of New Milford, past grand master
Of the Masonic lodge of Connecticut.
When near the Grand Central hotel,
George A. Lake of Palestine drove
along, and Mr. Chittenden stopped his
automobile. After Mr. Lake had safe
ly passed the automobile he sang out
to Mr. Chittenden: "All right, Cap
tain!" Mr. Chittenden then started
up his carriage and the horse of Mr.
Lake started for run toward the
south. When opposite Selectman
Morris Mr. and Mrs Lake were thrown
out. Mrs Lake was quite seriously
bruised, and as soon as the dirt could
be brushed of, was assisted to the resi-
dence of Selectman Morris. Messrs
Chittenden and Warner showed great
consideration, driving to Mr. Morris
and later arranging for team to carry
Mr. and Mrs Lake to their home in
Palestine. The horse ran down by
William B. Glover's, where it collided
with a yoke Of oxen belonging to
Bijah Woicehowski, knocking one of
the cattle down. 1t does not appear
that Messrs Warner and Chittenden
were in the least to blame. 1t is prob
able the cross bar on the shafts gave
way, striking the horses heels and
setting him on the run. While Mrs
Lakes injuries are Of painful nature
it is believed she will be all right in a
short time. It is matter for congrat-
ulation the results were not more seri-

THE DEMURRAGE QUESTION.
[FROM THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT
APRIL 9, 1901

The discussion of the question of
demurrage yesterday at the board of
trade rooms brought out number of
interesting facts. The ''Consolidated"
road is monopoly over large area,
which includes practically all this
state. But there are monopolies vast
ly bigger than it is, and they have
dictated to it, and the rule has been
adopted and is irOnclad and in force
that zoe day shall be paid for every
car of other roads used by any road.
including the road that controls traffic
in this state. If skipper keeps
car four days in this state as permitted
by law, the company has to meet that
additional charge. Moreover, as the
Consolidated" has, under our law,
been granting this four days use in
this state, it has necessarily had to
grant the same privilege in Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. When the
"Consolidated" established that rule,
the Boston & Maine and the Boston &
Albany had to do the same by their
shippers, and so four days has become
the universal New England custom.
A result of this has been that in the
recognized scarcity of cars the other
roads Disseminated against New
England, and when a choice had to be
made have sent their cars elsewhere;
and this has ~caused!much annoying
delay to people hereabouts regarding
the freight they expected.
The new rule makes the 10c a day
per car a direct charge upon the "Con-
solidated," and it's managers ask that
the law be so changed as to conform to
the laws of other states and so to put
this part of the country on par with
the rest and enable them to collect the
money from those who bring the charge
upon them. 1t certainly sounds like
business to set out the proposition that
the outlay will have to come back to
them as it does to other roads. Pre-
sumably it will have to go upon all
traffic, or else upon those in particular
who themselves incur the expense.
From the railroad side the case seems
plausible. From the side of the ship
per the question is how much extra it
is going to cost him and whether he
cannot hurry things up as shipp ers in
other parts Of the country have to do.
