New York. Dec. 6.-Liverpool show
ed further weakness. According to
current gossip Alexandria has held
big line of long contracts in the Eng
lish market that is now being liquidat-
ed. AT the hour of the local opening
the cables reported a decline of from
to 10 points when due to show an
advance of to 4 points. The local
market only partially responded to the
decline opening weak at a loss of 5
to 10 points. Trading was active and
there seemed to be good demand
at the decline. Advices from the
South seemed to favor the opinion that
the spot situation was improving and
that little forced liquidation remained
to be experienced. 1t was consequent
ly argued that the big short interest
in the speculative markets covering
would lead to substantial reaction, and
after the opening prices shot up about
s to Is points with shorts and reac-
tionists buying. Bear pressure was
renewed on the advance and fiuctua-
tons became irregular while the vol
ume of trading materially diminished.
New Orleans bought considerable cot
ton here in the early afternoon, and on
the whole the market showed a stead
Ter tone. The Southern spot situation
is still too uncertain to permit of any
definite opinion as to the real attitude
of holders or as to the effect of the
break on BUYERS.

PERSONAL

Mrs. Alton B. Parker, wife of the
New York chief justice, is directly
descended from an early Dutch set
tier named Schoonmaker. The name
is famous in Ulster county, New York,
and the old Schoonmaker homestead
is now the summer home of the judges
a mile and a half from the village of
Esopus, Judge Parker's home. The
older parts of the house were stand
ing in 1777, when the British fleet an
chored in the river before it the night
before Kingston was burned. Mrs
Parker is a good equestrienne and
spends many pleasant hours riding with
her husband about the country.
That Andrew Carnegie is a doubter,
an unbeliever in religion, is what many
persons have inferred from his failure
to remember churches. conspicuously
in his benefactions, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The statement is made by
a prominent Philadelphia educator
that Mr.. Carnegie is quite uncertain in
his ideas concerning the future life.
Although born Scotchman and a
Presbyterian, If one can be born in
a church, he repudiated the church
long ago. His family continues to at
tend the Presbyterian church, but
Mr.. Carnegie has not been inside a
house of worship for many years. His
antipathy to the church and the re-
ligion of Christ are known to his inti-
mate friends, but it has been the gen.
eral belief that he was a Presbyterian.
Mr.. Carnegie does not fiaunt his in
fidelity in the public view, neither does
he hide it.

A Markesman from Kentucky.

Even though the American rifiemen
have decided to send back the Palma
trophy, the American soldier is noted
as a shot, says the New York Trib-
une. Perhaps the best marksmen in
the army, however are the men from
the mountains of Kentucky and Ten
nessee. An infantry captain recently
