 NEW YORK, Jan. l3-Thc market is the most peculiar of this season. Here We are in tho third day around IA cents and yet no ad- vance into new ground and no break to show that there Is decline in sight. Every one expected to find Liverpool in the air this morning and May here sell l425 But instead of this. May opened at 1885 This upset all calculations and the pit became thor ouehIy confused again. Is this advance to l4 cents like the other two and will prices grad iiatly or quickly break? Or is this recent break all that can be expected and are we now on the way to higher prices? Until May gets over l4A cents into grohnd there will be no satisfactory answer to this ques- ton. No Is good yes. But in the event of all this cotton now being sold being taken care of and holders being able to look after it, we are likely to see a sharp advance when prices reach new ground. That is, if the buy ing power is strong enough to look after the cotton being offered for profits enough new buying will be forthcoming to put up the market. But the larger interests have not yet demonstrated their ability to take this cotton at i4 cents and put prices on a new basis As soon there are evidences that this is pos- sible, cotton can be bought with more risk Hut as long prices halt around 4 cents on this way, we would not buy sell for the time being. There are no evidences of the next move in the market.

 MONTGOMERY. Ala. Jan. Is-The markets Of the world have shown little activity today and are apparently awaiting the deveiopment of some unforeseen event Cotton has been particuiariy nervous with limited fluctuations. During the day there has been strong foreign buying, but towards the last hour of the ses- sion the market has eased off, showing a want or support The price of spot cotton through out the South is reported generally around the top prices with little offering and indica- lions are there is more spot cotton contracted TOT to be delivered In the future than can be bought In the United States Print goods are very hrm, with small trade. and no conces- sons beang made on the part of the manu- tactnrers. With the growing evidence and con- vctlon that short crop and with the large short spot interest which is undoubtedly fin eS- istence which makes the position of cotton very strong, We are favorable to the long side of the market and though there may be temporary deprcssions. higher prices will yet prevail and present prices will in time look cheap The senate has just passed a bill appropriating S5oo.

pisrae,i ana bismarck.

At dinner given in London in 1861
by Baron Brunnow to the Grand Duke
of Saxe-Weimar Herr Won Bismarck,
who was one of the guests, had a long
conversation with Mr.. Disraeli, then
leader of the opposition. He then said
that he should shortly be obliged to
undertake the direction of the Prus-
sian government; that his first duty
would be to reorganiZe the army; that
he would then take the first best pre-
text to declare war against Austria, to
dissolve the Germanic diet, to over
power the middle and smaller states
and to give national unity to Ger
many under the leadership Of Prussia.
II am come here" he said, ito say
this to the queens ministers" Mr..
Disraeli's remark on this extraordinary
programme, which was later literally
fulfilled, was: ''Take care Of that man.
He means what he says."-"Remi-
niscences of Lord Augustus LOTUS"

TRICKS OF THE BRAIN.
Experiences Which Physiological
Theories Fail to Explain.

Experiences Which Physiological
Theories Fail to Explain.
An uncle of mine with whom | was
walking in a part of Yorkshire near
Skipton, where neither of us had ever
been before, stopped suddenly to say,
when we turn that corner you will
see on the right an Elizabethan house
partly surrounded by trees, with lake
or large pond showing through them,
and in the middle of the water little
artificial island"
When we turned the corner we saw
precisely what he had described, and
yet he had never seen or heard or read
Of the place. The dual brain theory
fails here, since neither lobe Of the
brain had received an impression of
the place before we turned the corner.
Jean Jacques Rousseau in his Con
fessons" says he foresaw in reverie
while taking a solitary walk all the
incidents of the happiest day of his life
as they occurred eight years later:
II saw myself. as in an ecstasy,
transported into that happy time and
occasion, where my heart, possessing
all the happiness possible, enjoyed it
with ineNpressible raptures, without
thinking of anything sensual. l do not
remember being ever thrown into the
future with more force or an illusion
so complete as that which l then eX-
perienced. What struck me most in
the recollection of that reverie, now
that it has been realized, is to have
found objects so exactly as I had pic
tured them. If ever the dream of
man awake had the air of a prophetic
vision that was assuredly such.'
1t is, | think, noteworthy that in all
clairvoyant cases of this kind the body
Is through overwork or i'll health or
fasting or congenitally in the subdued
state to which the Indian mystic and
miracle monger reduces his own by
maceration. 1t was so with Scott and
Rousseau, and with William Hone
when he had the following experience
recorded in his memoir. When worn
out with overwork he was shown into
certain room in certain part Of
London where he had never been be-
fore.
ION looking around everything ap-
peared perfectly familiar to me.
seemed to recognize every object. 1
said to myself: What is this? 1 was
never here before, and yet have seen
all this, and if so there is very pc
culiar knot in the shutter l opened
the shutter and found the knot. Now,
then, l thought, here is something I
cannot explain on my principles; there
must be some power beyond matter"
And from being pronounced mate
rialist he became believer in spirits,
and, indeed, eventually profoundly
religious soul.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

The Names of Ten

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea.
etc., but few people have any idea Of
what these names signify.
"Pekoe" in the dialect of Canton
means white hair" for the tea which
bears this name is made from the
youngest of leaves, so young that the
white down is still on them.
'Soochong" in the same dialect is a
quite unpoetic name; it merely signifies
"small kind
"Flourishing spring" is the meaning
Of "Hyson."
Congo" signifies "labor." Much
trouble and toll are expended in its
preparation at Annoy, and. these are
commemorated in it's name.
"Bohea" is called after range of
hills.

clusion he said.
Il am glad to have met you, MIR.

Weeds,

A weed is a plant that grows in
abundance out of desired limits. Any
plant may become weed by escaping
from cultivation. Many plants that
with us are highly esteemed in other
countries grow as weeds, while, on the
other hand, our weeds are in other
countries sometimes highly priced.
The correct use Of the word depends
altogether ON circumstances.
