Lelshman & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Decreasing stocks, coupled with an in- creasing demand from Liverpool, were the bull points in the cotton market this morning. The whole list opened strong, and on short covering and bull support gradually strengthened and scored further advance. New Orleans was a heavy buyer of December and January and a prominent Philadelphia spot house also took large blocks of December. The government weekly report tomorrow is expected to make an unfavorable show ing. We don't look for any great ac- tiyity, however, until the monthly gov- ernment report is Issued September g. We look for very unfavorable report and think the showing will be much poorer than anticipated In the mean time, however, the market will gradu- ally strengthen, and that for the present the long side of the market will be the side for profits. The Journal of Com merce special report, while making fla vorable comment on the general condi- ton of the crop states that the plant has shown considerable deterioration in Louisiana, Texas and the Gulf states in general We still feel inclined to be bullish on the present outlook, and think that cotton Is a purchase at current fig ures.

The Saint Paul globe., 1904-07-31

There are many professional reformers
who manage their difficult task with less
tact than the mother of a certain brood
of youngsters in this town.
A visitor who supped informally with
the family not long ago thus describes
her experience:
During the progress of the meal
was puzzled to see certain members of
the family drop cent into pretty
Japanese. bowl that stood on the table
and was half full of pennies Being a
very intimate friend, also drew out a
cent and laughingly extended my hand
towards the bowl, saying: What a very
inexpensive hostelry. l shall continue to
patroniZe you
But my hostess stayed my hand and
said: We are not paying for dinners,
but for errors. This is our reform bank.
We are gradually losing all our bad
manners. We are learning not to be
critical, to. be neat in regard to table
linen. and. incidentally, we are acquiring g
a lot of pretty china.
You see, we are not small family.
(There were just eleven at table and
only one guest), and as the children
grew older / found catering difficult
matter. Each ore had such decided Hikes
and dislikes and each one, too, liked and
disliked a different Wand Yes, / know,
it is case Of heredity, for /, too, have,
or have had, rather, violent likes and
idislikes. The trouble eliminated when
Jack Ca sturdy child of three was ad
mitted to the table. He wanted to do,
not as one member of the family did,
but as they all did. If Ted disliked rice
never ate of dishes made from cornmeal,
neither did Jack; Frank never ate GER
tain kinds of puddings: Jack followed
suit.

A Penny for Your Table Manners

Then, seeing how great was the ne
cessity for reform, I declared that some.
thing must be done. I enlisted the whole
family in my method and proposed that
each person who found fault. who made
critical remarks or who even sent away
should pay cent, the proceeds to go for
pretty china. Even Jack-and, indeed.
Jack first of all-reformed under this
penalty. for the pride of his heart was
small snake-skin pocketbook, full and
gradually growing fuller of bright new
pennies.
" we were all interested and amused
in watching and catching each other,
and. much to the delight of the children,
/ led off with the first payment of the
forfeit. although my criticism only con-
cerned the cook. 1t is a most unusual
thing now to catch any member of the
family mapping as regards 6his rule.
Ted, who was fast developing into a reg
ular fauN-hnder, has quite reformed and
eats HIS meals with apparent relish. al
though some of the dishes may not be
exactly to his liking. Instead of cudgel-
ing my brains to have something on the
table to each persons taste. / simply
provide the most tasteful and nutritious
food my purse will allow. secure in the
knowledge that there will be no crfti-

Hoping you can help us out, 1 remain
constant reader, AGNES N.
For one jolly contest get a bot
tie partly filled with water, and
generous supply of thin nails. Have
each guest write down on a piece
of paper or a blackboard the num-
Der of nails he thinks it will take
to make the water overflow. Each
guess should have the name of the
guesser written beside it. When
all have guessed, the hostess begins
dropping the nails one by one into
the water. When the first water
runs over the edge she stops, and
the various guesses are examined.
The man or girl whose prophecy
hits or comes closest to the real
number of nails, wins a point or a
prize.
For another lively feature Sc
cure a long-necked vase or pitcher,
the opening of which IS JUS. large
enough to admit a peanut. Give
each player three peanuts, and have
him Cor herr circle the ro ON three
times at a good pace. Each time
in passing the vase the player at
tennis to drop a peanut into the
vase. The man or girl landing"
most peanuts wins the point.
Then you could arrange -" -hariot
race" such as are run N the circus.
For it you will need two small
toy horses with carts or chariots
attached. The race is run by pro-
pelling the toys around the room
with umbrellas or walking sticks.
Two persons race at one time. The
winners hen match each other in
"fnala' lntil but one contestant
remains. This player, {: course,
carries off the point or prize.
