cothran e coz Market Letter.

Liverpool delayed slightly this morn ing The mills are now running on full time, with large orders on hand, and a rather favorable opinion of the market was expressed. Option, however, failed to reflect tho excellence of the business being done, closing at a decline of six English, spots prices remained un- changed.
 Some good sized blocks of cotton were traded in at the lower levels establish ed at our opening. The bidding for ad- dtional large lots served to check fur ther material decline. Trading quieted and subsequently, was desultory.
 Very few opinions voice a crop under eleven million bales and many conserva- tive traders believe the figures will be around eleven million three hundred thousand. Indications of a greater or less quantity in the coming ginners' re- port on December 3. Government esti- mate will influence prices for better or for worse as the case may be. A con- sumption of eleven million bales may reasonably be expected at present prices with a slight increase at lower figures and on material decline, spnners would provide themselves in excess of actual requirements, especially in the event of an unpromising planting season. Hence unless the expected estimate confirms the idea of those most bearishly inclined im- mediate declines should not be excessive.

Lovemsn's Cotton Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans. November 16-(Special.)- The downward reaction which set in yes- terday was productive of further weak. ness in the market today. Liverpool closed at a loss of to points, but spots there remained steady and unchanged at D. A for middling. the easier tendency of the English market, which brought about the further decline in America, was att tributed to importers selling against pur-
 chases in the United States to the ac- cumulation of stocks, and to the passing of the storm from the Atlantic coast. Locally, the market opened easy with January 9.Sl. points lower than the close 1 of yesterday.
 The weather map was more favorable, with higher temperature and no rain in the belt. Spots were reported in poor de- mand in the early morning, but fair busi- ness was transacted in the afternoon, the
 market closing easy and unchanged on sales of 5000 and 2S00 to arrive; middlng, sA. Liverpool private adyiees take fav- crable view of the situation, claiming spinners to be buying largely in the Eng fish market; that mills are running to their full capacity: that big orders are going through and hold to the opinion
 that prices cannot give way much at present, and that their best merchants think favorably of cottton.

THE HEROINE OF LUCKNOW.
Death of Lady Inglis, Who Kept a
Diary During the Siege.

An interesting figure in English his
tory has passed away in the person
of Lady Inglis, who died yesterday
at her residence, II Rectory road,
Beckenham, after short illness.
Lady Julia Sonia Inglir was the sec
ond daughter of the first Lord Chelms-
ford and was born in 1888.
She was the widow of the famous
defender of the British residency at
Lucknow. Sir John Eardley Wilmot
Inglish, x. C. B., who died in 1882, and
in memory of whose services in the
Indian Mutiny she had been in receipt
of pension.
Lady Inglis herself went through
the siege of Lucknow, and in addition
to the terrors of the siege and the
subsequent journey to the coast she
was shipwrecked on the voyage home
to England.
She afterward published the diary
the besieged city, where her husband
then Brigadier Inglis, commanded the
garrison throughout the eighty-sev.
en- days the place was invested.
She describes the entrance into the
residency, ON day when glad shouts
rang through the tortured city, of "a
short, quiet-looking, gray-haired man,
whom l knew at once was Gen. Have
lock. He shook hands with me and
said he feared that we had suffered
a great deal.
Il could hardly answer him
1t was moment of unmixed happi.
ness, but not lasting. I felt how diff
ferent my lot was to others y
l tried to write home, but could not.
THE relieving force had suffered
most severely The wounded
(, had been abandoned Tho
enemy had loopholed the houses and
shot the poor fellows down by scores
as they passed through the narrow
Streets"
Once while on the dangerous march
from Lucknow to the coast the sud
den command of Haiti" rang out into
the night.
Lady Inglis had baby with her at
this time, and thus she writes: Isl
lence was ordered and all lights to be
put out I shall never forget
my anxiety lest baby should com
mence crying again and perhaps be
tray our whereabouts" Fortunately
baby did not cry.
On the way to England her shiI
was wrecked near the coast of Cey
Ion, and hope had been almost aban
doned when the passengers. who had
been drifting about in small boats
were picked up by native vessel and
taken into ncomalee.-London Elk

When vagrant wishes beckon me

~This is my work; my blessing. not

This work can best be done in my
own way
Then shall see it, not too great nor

TO suit my spirit and to prove my

Then shall l cheerfully greet the Ia

And cheerful turn, when the long

At eventide, to play and love and rest.
