WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
By VIM. T. Williams.


The cotton market was spectacular
and sensational. Except for a sudden
and violent drop of little over a half
a cent on Friday, the course of prices
was buoyantly upward, the movement
eliminating in an excited jump of Is
points in the two hours of trading on
Saturday. The close was practically at
the top, and shows a net gain for the
week of about 1856 points for the sum-
mer months. New crop deliveries fail
ed to keep the pace; OctVUer, after
several times getting a point or two
above 13c, closed at 1890, gain of
only Is points.
The movement of the crop keeps up
fairly well, reaching about 100000 bales
for the week, and the total in sight
up to the end of January is just about
5000, 900 bales. BY the end of Febru
airy the amount in sight will probably
approximate S,750,000 bales, and after
that date the weekly amount credited
to Southern consumption" of say, 43-
900 bales, will in thirty weeks amount
to 1880, 900 bales. This alone will suf-
flee to make the crop about 100000
bales, without the credit of single
bale from any other source after
March /, or from the new crop in Au-
gust.
Nevertheless. the bull leaders are
more extreme than ever in their short
crop manifestoes and are now assert
ing the absolute conviction that the
total will not exceed 100000 bales.
The general trade is no doubt consid-
erably Influenced by these expressions,
so much force being added by the
extraordinary action of the market;
in 70 ~ oh oil hainO
now bulls, the general opinion inclines
to the very short crop idea, crystal
izing around 100000 bales.
The ginners' report is looked for early
in the week, date not yet given. 1t is
expected to make bullish showing,
putting the amount ginned to Jan. Is
at about 5000, 900 bales. Such figure
would be bullish, for 1t ought to be
a good deal larger If the report is ex-
haustive and correct.
There is nothing in sight yet to stop
the advance, unless 1t may be that the
usual terminal fireworks are now on.
But with the present temper of the
market, prices can jump a cent or
more any day yet; 20 cents does not
by any means look as wildly improb-
able as it did a month ago.
The failure at the close of the week
of a large private wire house with nu-
merous branches throughout the South
will probably have a helpful effect on
the market If any, in SO far as the
customers of the house in question may
replace their holdings with houses
having regular exchange connections,
thus possibly bringing a material ad-
dition to buying orders. For, as said
before, there are no more bears-all
are bulls; and this, it must be adj
y,oiffad IL not good sign.
other markets were rather quieter.
Stocks turned weaker, with less doing.
May wheat broke rather sharply when
leading bulls tried to unload, but
mostly recovered. Corn and oats are
higher, especially May oats. Provi-
sions were strong early in the week,
but later weakened on lack of sup
port. and closed at some decline. On
the break it looks advisable to buy
some lard and ribs, but preferably the
latter.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.
Condition of the Cotton Market the
Absorbing Feature.

Manchester, Jan. S1.-The condition of
the cotton market was the absorbing
feature of the cloth trade last week.
Much Lancashire trade was brought to
a deadlock, and it was impossible to
predict when the ordinary course of
business will be resumed. The reports
of occasional business cannot hide the
deplorable general condition, and
many persons consider the situation
very insecure. There were some pur-
chases of common light fabrics for In
Ola and the milzor Eastern outlets OPP
Grated on a sman scale. China was in
active. Printers and finishing goods
were sold for South American and
other outlets at enhanced rates.
In the early part of week the users
of yarns for the home trade and
American qualities were better dis
posed for business, and this resulted
in considerable turn over. During
the later part of the week the contin-
ued advance in the price of cotton Sc
riously interfered with the progress.

SCHOOL ESSAY ON DUCKS.

what he wrote: The duck is a low.
heavy-set girl, composed mostly OF
meat and feathers. He is a mighty
poor singer. having a hoarse voice
caused by getting two many frogs in
his neck. He likes the water and
carries a toy balloon in his stomach
to keep him from sinking. The duck
has only two legs and they are set
SO far back on his running gears by
nature that she came purity near miss

get big have curls on their tails and
are called brakes. brakes don't have
to set or hatch. but Just loaf, go
swimming and eat. If | was duck

The Future Life Of Animals.

Sir William Blunden. doctor and

of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty To Animals with some views
on the future state of animals. He
certainly believed" he said, "in the
future existence OF animals. and
though he could not bring forward
evidence in support Of the PROPOSE
tion, he could not at the same time
bring forward evidence to the con-
trary. II they took the case Of the
tinkers ass. which was born and
reared In hardship. he found 1t hard
to think that merciful Creator
formed that animal merely to suffer

lows turned to the other and said:
Wasn't God q nice man to give us

Animals and Fire.

Most animals are afraid OF fire. and
will fly from 1t in terror. To others
there Is fascination about a flame,
and they will walk into 1t even though
tortured by the heat. A horse In a
burning stable goes mad with fear. but
q dog is as cool in a fire as at any
time. He keeps his nose down to the
floor. where the air is purest. and sets
himself calmly to finding his way out.
Cats In fires howl piteously. They
hide their faces from the light and
crouch In corners. When their res
cuer lifts them they are as a rule quite
docile and subdued. never biting or
scratching Birds seem to be hypno-
tized by fire and keep perfectly still;
even the loquacious parrot in fire
has nothing TO say. Cows. like dogs.
do not show alarm. They are easy to
lead forth and often find their way
out themselves.

TO DEVELOP LEG MUSCLES.
Simple Exercise. Without Apparatus.
viii Produce the Result.

IL Is very necessary to possess suffi-
cient development of the muscles of
the legs. One of the best exercises
looking to this end Is accomplished
as follows; Stanu erect, with the
feet spread apart and arms hanging
Imply at the sides. Bend downward
to a squatting position. allowing the
hands to touch the floor If possible.
The squatting position should be one
in which the student as nearly as
possible sits upon the heels, but head
and trunk should be erect or nearly
so. When this position has been TAX
en- bring the arms up horizontally
forward, clasping the hands for mo-
ment only. Next throw the arms IS
far backward as possible and as near
ly horizontal as you can. performing
this last movement slowly. Now
slowly resume the hand-elasp and.
keeping the hands in this position.
return gradually to standing posi-
tion. Three of these exercises are
enough for the beginner. and In ia
pan the veteran of jiujitsu rarely
performs more than ten of them.-St.

BLOOD IN THE BEARINGS.
Hindoo Thieves Would Not Steal the
Oil in American Machinery.

The prejudice against blood that is
q part of the religion of the Hindoos
has been made to serve a useful pur'
pose. When the American engineers
were building an electric power sta
ton In the Mysore territory in south
ern India they found that something
was wrong with the fabrication OF tho
machinery. The oil disappeared. They
discovered that Hindoo must. by his
religion. take a periodical bath IN oil.
To him oil is OIL The workmen had
drained the bearings for bathing pur
poses.
How TO stop the thieving was a
puzzling problem until someone solved
II. The Hindoo does not eat meat
and he will not touch anything that
has blood in it. Two or three animals
were killed. therefore, and blood was
dripped into the bearings. There was
no more stealing of Oil however many
other things were stolen.
