The Persian minister, General Morte-
"a Khan, is thinking of a trip to Eu-
rope for his summer vacation, but has
not decided upon it.. In the meantime
he is continuing his pleasant Friday
afternoon receptions, and has also COM
menced series of evenings to which he
invites his personal friends. His lega.
tion home is unique in many respects.
His love of Persian curiOs and works of
artS',is that Of an artist and connoisseur.
He owns many beautiful articles-rugs
hangings, silver and bronzes, and he
has, utilized them all in the adornment
Of his bachelor quarters, reproducing, If
not the arrangement Of real Persian
house, at least charming suggestions. of
On his reception days the minister
himself brews tea at side table, and
it is then passed to his visitors bys his
small glasses resting in little silver
frames, which in turn are handed on a
small flagree silver waiter. Either
slices of lemon or a lemon syrup is of.
.fered to flavor the tea, with Jumps Of
sugar. Little pyramid stands, also in
silver filagree, piled with cakes or bis
cults or Persian sweets, are passed with
! the tea; or small table is placed neal
the visitor with a set Of smaller flagree
silver stands filled with raisins, nuts
and cakes The minister is a delight
full host, and when his visitors seem te
enjoy his house and It's appointment
his pleasure is Greatly enhanced. Eacl
room has it's own collection of usefu
and beautiful articles, arranged BY
his own direction and kept in the mos
perfect order. His den, another pic
turesque spot, is Persian from floor tt
ceiling, but an American monograph
from which he may enjoy either CRANE
opera, coon songs and dances, or Per
sian airs, is much-valued possession
4 A side table with convenient littl
gas stove where tea may be brewed j
an indispensable adjunct. Every detail
for a little tea party is always near il
from the daintiest of napery to th
finest and prettiest Of silver flagre

sian fabrics, and when these are dow
no doors appear. Around each roo1
there is a frieze made Of gay-colore
silken fabrics, in butterfly and othe

MARKET FOR COTTON
STAPLE EASY AND NEW LOW RECORD
 MADE.
fpenlng Was Steady at Decrease in Response to Weak Cables-NeaF By Longs and Bears
 ARgressive.

New York, Dee. I4.--The cotton market was easier today and prices made new low record under bear pressure and the close was steady at decline of 20 to 25 points. Sales for the day estimated at 300, 900 balas.
 The opening was steady seven to twelve points lower, in response to weak cables IL was a notice day and notices for about o,OOV bales were estimated to be in circulation. This caused some liquidation by nearby longs and local bears became aggressive. while stop loss orders were caught on the decline There was also a runlor of easier spot markets and while an effort was made by some of the local longs to check the de cline after December sold 1e points under January and the notices had been taken care of. the market showed no rally of conse- quenee and reached the low point of the session in the late trading, when the net loss was about 2s 63O points. The loss was four to six points up from the lowest as a result of covering. There was much less of the buIiish spot news from the South than on yesterday and the absence of bullish wires led operators to fear that the situation was weakening, as a result Of hedged cotton, or either interior selling.
