cycle-that is, nineteen solar years.
The civil years commencing with the
second new moon after the winter
solstice, and consists of twelve months,
or moons, which are called large or
small according to whether they con-
sist of twenty-nine or thirty days.
When an extra moon is to be used a
thirteenth month is not added, but one
of the months is doubled. The rule
that the winter solstice shall be kept
in the eleventh moon is never departed
from.
AS our week is not used, except
among Christian converts, the Chinese
are accustomed to count by the days
of the moon Certain days are con-
sidered especially sacred, such as the
first and fifteenth of each month, and
the dates on which the numbers are
doubled-as the third of the third
month, or seventh of the seventh.
Particular attention is given, in the
calendars for general use, to the lucky
and unlucky Representatives even to
the neglect of astronomical informa-
ton and predictions. Some editions
combine rather poetical matter with
the practical and superstitious notes,
giving the date when the rainbow Will
first be seen, the time for the opening
of certain flowers and the migration
and songs of birds.
The official calendars are issued an
nually, after they have received the
Emperor's approval; and, although fill
ed with superstition and inaccurate
in many particulars, they are most
interesting and instructive, and present
a good example of the lore and science
of the Chinese people.

PRICES GO HIGHER
IN BOTH SPIRITS AND ROsIN MAR
KET ON BETTER DEMAND.
RISE CAME AFTER THE CLOSE
AND MARKET WAS PRETTY NEAR
LY SWEPT OF ALL OFFERINGS.

Spirits Market Opened Firm ana

Market Also without Feature I'm

Like That Produced by Actual
Needs of Buyers for SuppIies-Re-
ceipts of Spirits Very Light and
Those of ROsin Fair-NO Ship
ments Made of Either.
The naval stores market took a brace
yesterday in the late trade and better
prices were paid for the spirits and
rosin. The opening of the spirits mar
ket was firm at 5215 cents. the clos
ing price of the previous day and
sales of 220 casks, were reported, and
the close was firm and unchanged and
without additional sales. In the later
trade, however, a fairly active demand
was manifested with the result that
pretty nearly, if not all, of the re-
ceipts We're cleaned up at an advance
of 4 cent. 1t looks like a legitimate
demand, too, and the factors are, in
consequence taking hopeful view of
the outlook of the market.
The roSin market opened firm and un-
changed from the close of the previous
day. Sales of 1888 barrels were re-
ported. The close was firm and with
out further sales, but, as in the case
with spirits, a fair demand was III
evidence after the close and the great
er portion of the receipts were sold
at closing quotations or better In
the majority of cases the advance of
cents on H and below was pair.
The receipts for the day were 1859
barrels, and the shipments none. The
New York market was quoted dull at
81 So The receipts of spirits were
very light, amounting to but 291 casks.
There were no shipments. The New
York market was quoted dull at 551ac
and London reported 1876.

campaign committees will spend haN
a million dollars. OF the scores Of
millions of documents sent out a great
many are franked, but to distribute
the residue requires a huge outlay for
postage. Extremely expensive also is
the house-to-h house canvass which is
made by each party early in Septem-
Der and again about a fortnight be-
fore election day OF course no such
canvass is needed in any of the former
slave states, except Delaware, Mary
land, West Virginia and possibly Ken
lucky. 1t would be equally super
fluous in Pennsylvania or Vermont. No
other item of expenditure is compar-
able with the sum paid for campaign
speeches. 1t is expected that when
the campaign is fully under way no
fewer than 5000 political orators will
be placed upon the stump by each of
the national committees. AS at least
five times as many 'spellbinders" will
be mustered by the state committees
the aggregate number of exhorters will
not fall much short of $4,000. Some Of
the speakers receive $3.50 week. to-
gether with their expenses. while
others will accept no money for their
services, but allow their actual dis
bursementS TO be made good.

Say Take Profits on Another
Rise.

say lnke frOnt8 on AnOther
Rise.
New York, Oct. Sat the advance
to-day there was great deal of cot
ton for sale by those who bought yes
terday. This was to be expected. AL
ways after so sharp an advance
set back can be expected to follow
even if the market goes on up later.
The rise was helped by several of the
larger traders who covered short cot
ton on the break and were willing to
help an advance to sell again. But
even with this buying there was quite
lot of cotton for sale over 10 loo for
January. The reason for the rise were
not difficult to see. The market was
sold out and every one was bearish.
No one was willing to buy, appar-
emily and there is but one way, when
the market gets in that shape. Tn
der 10 cents there will be big de-
mand for cotton for some time to
come. In the event of a further rise
we would take profits and be ready
to buy again on a soft spot. We can
not see anything in the position to
make us change the opinion that 10
cents is a reasonable price for cot
ton and operations can be conducted
on that basis with profitable results.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE market has
shown more nervousness and irregu-
larity than ever. Liverpool set the
pace by reporting an advance of about
10 points on futures and 10 points on
spots, with spot sales of 10000 bales.
OF course, a holding movement, if
INDUCED in to any extent and if mills
are in position to stay out of the
market. means a congestion of inter-
Tor supplies that must eventually re-
act on the holder, but for the i'm
mediate future the indisposition of the
planter to sell below 10 cents can only
be regarded as a bull factor and as
something out of line with large crop
estimates. The local market opened
steady at an advance of 8 to 10 points,
and worked up to a net gain of 20 to
p points. Then it reacted to about
the opening figures as room longs took
profits. but rallied again on Southern
buying and reports of support from
leading spot interests. Trading has
been fairly active and outside inter-
ests appear to be increasing despite
the division of opinion over the size
of the crop.

New York oct 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance Of 8dl0
points in response to Liverpool cables,
which showed an advance in futures of
about 1905 points. and an advance of
10 points in spot prices, with sales Of
10000 bales.
The weather over the South was
favorable but there were predictions
of colder weather in the near future
After the call, the market, Influenced
by continued cables, covering and bull
support from Southwestern sources
frmed up to a net advance of about
15G22 points. Around midday the adj
ditional gain was practically lost, with
the market selling off to around the
opening figures on renewal of bear
pressure and liquidation; but on the
decline met with further supporting
orders and continued covering. Prices
rallied several points on this and lit
tie later turned very firm on reports of
a flood in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. There was nothing on the wealth
er map to indicate such developments,
but the trade was apprehensive and
the market shot up TO a net gain of
about 24d27 points.
Just before the close there was active
selling, led by prominent room bears,
and prices yielded q few points from
the best, with the market finally easy
at the net gain of 1923 points
Sales were estimated at 600, 600 bales.

Firmer cables from Liverpool and
the consequent uneasy feeling among
shorts caused by the changed condition
shown in this fact and the better tone
of the futures markets at the close
the day before caused further advances
in these markets yesterday on general
buying to cover, and as result de-
cided gains were shown at the close
in all of the markets. Liverpool was
17@19 points higher on futures and 10
points up on spots. New York was $50
% points up on futures and 80 points
on spots, and New Orleans showed
gains of 1702O points on futures and

CALENDAR OF THE CHINESE.
Months Are Sometimes Doubled and
Other Peculiar Features Are In
cIuded in Its Rules.
From the Living Church.

From the Living Church.
In the old Chinese classic, THE Rec
ords of Man" we are told that he
bade Hi and Ho reverently to regard
the signs, and respectfully give the
times of men," Hi, Ho and two others
of their respective families We're or
dered to the four points of the COM
pass to determine the equinoxes and
solstices.
The bird, supposed to be our Cor
Hydrae, was to be the star of spring.
Antares alpha ScorpD, of SUMMER
Beta Aquaril for autumn, and the
worlds removed Pleiades the sign of
the winter solstice. "Oh, you Hi and
Ho!" the old documents continues.
all around there are 366 days; use
the extra moon, order the seasons and
perfect the year. Faithfully regulate
the hundred offices, and all the works
will be perfect"
Thus was formed the first Chinese
calendar about 1900 years before the
Christian era; and its regulation has
always been an object of care and in
terest to the emperors from Yao down
to the present day.
Practically no changes were made in
1t until the mission of the JesuitS to
Pekin in the seventeenth century. The
help of Mohammedan astronomers had
been sought, but they were unable to
cope with the difficulties which pre-
sented themselves; and the Emperor,
Kang-Hi, was thankful to let the
Jesuits take the lead in all astronomi-
cal researches. He built them as OBJ
servatory at Pekin, which Father Yer
best fitted up lin 1863 in thorough
"up-to-date" style. The errors of cen
turtles had accumulated in all depart
ments of the science, and the foreign
ers had hard task to eliminate them
and introduce European improvements
without exciting hostility.
The accuracy of their calculations
soon inspired such confidence that
Father Verbiest was appointed presi-
dent of the mathematical tribunal He
soon turned his attention to the calen-
der, rectifying the errors, but not
making many changes beyond intro
ducing the twelve signs of the zodiac,
and dividing it into $50 degrees instead
of 365A-as was the old Chinese divi-
sion. The reformed calendar went in
to many details and the calculations
were given down to the year 2020 A d.
1t was published in thirty-two vol
umes, and called, in honor of the EN-
peror, 1.-The Kang-Hi Perpetual Calen-
dar."
The solar and lunar years are both
used, and combination is effected be-
tween the two by adding seven extra
moons during the period of the lunar

York.
New York, Oct. 5.-The revulsion in
sentiment which has taken place since
yesterday morning is incredible. Liv-
erpool had then closed weak at the
bottom prices of the day. Our mar
ket had dropped 20 points, thus bring
ing the total decline with the last two
weeks to nearly 81 per bale. while pre-
dictions for another half cent or more
were heard on every side, receipts
were heavy and demand was nil. To-
day we find exporters climbing over
one another to buy cotton: New Or
leans up II, August and Norfolk 3-16
and Savannah "A. Interior towns of
Alabama and Mississippi and Texas re-
port wagon receipts one-half Of what
they were a week ago. The little farm
er evidently made up his mind to take
hand In the game and let those who
are depreciating the value OF his prop
erty do their work without his assist
ance. I'm the way Of adding TO the load
of receipts. The sharp rally of 40
points, which has taken place since
yesterday, means much more than the
recovery OF 81 per bale out Of A 81 per
bale decline 1t is noticeable TO the
world that this crop is going to be
