Gilbert & clay's Market Letter.

Judging from the large spot sales Of
14o00, reported this morning from Liver
pool. it is but natural to infer that the
figures issued yesterday by the govern
ment on ginnings were not up 10 the
expectations of the foreign market The
same assertion is borne out as well by the
action of options, in being only u to IA
points down on the opening Of American
rings. when a decline larger was due.
Throughout the day the foreign market
ruled firm and steady, rejecting an I'M
proved sentiment in favor of the trade.
and closed with about points loss over
yesterday. Gables expressed the opinion
that the decline was natural and momen-
tary, but entertained more hopeful feel
ings for the future Manchester reported
both yarns and cloths quiet but steady.
IN our own markets liquidation, while
not assuming large proportions. was new
ertheless very evident, at the same time,
however, a limited fresh buying power
set in, doubtless inspired by the reported
improved conditions in various spot mar
kets. and for a time contract offerings
were readily absorbed, which kept the
market steady with prices moderately
higher
To our minds the threshing out pro-
cess which has been strongly in evidence
for the last two days, has materially BEN
Gifted the existing temper of the mar
ket. We do not assume to say however,
that this process Is by any means ended,
and 1t is easily possible that any adj
vances will be met and checked by larger
and freer offerings. There is nothing
moreover. in connection with the move
ment to encourage any decided bearish
opinions, for II is an interesting fact that
the receipts at all ports are fully a
hundred thousand bales behind the move
ment as reported year before last. After
more thorough liquidation and such an
improvement as we expect to see IN the
statistical position, cotton should again
become an attractive purchase.

Loveman G. Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool did not take as bearish a
view as expected of the census report,
futures in that market closing firm at a
decline of only TO 9 points, while spots
were 10 points lower, but with a good de-
mand reported; total sales reported of
14,000 bales. Our market in response to
Liverpool opened steady. several points
higher than yesterdays close. An at
tempt was made by bears to hammer
the market early in the day, but strong
support by a prominent bull operator
stemmed the selling tide and forced some
of the shorts to cover. There was also
some fresh buying on a reported better
spot demand, all of which carried prices
up to the level of Sc for March. Prices
held steady around this level for quite
a while but the liquidation by tired longs
resulted in an easier tendency.
Later in the day a report that spots
were "a point lower gave the bear crowd
something to hammer on, and under
heavy selling operations the market broke
sharply before the close, which was at
the lowest level of the day, final figures
showing a net decline of 10 to IL points.
Spots officially reported quiet and steady,
quotations being reduced 1-16. Sales
amounted to 1925 bales or spots, and lOZo
bales to arrive. One thousand bales were
delivered on contract The most impor-
tant feature that developed today was the
large spot sales recorded in Liverpool,
14,O00 bales being sold in that market.
This shows conclusively that the spinners
are willing to buy on the decline. On
the other hand, southern spot holders, so
reliable interior advices received by us
state, are unwilling to sell on the de-
cline, and as soon as the general trade
becomes convinced of this fact, we ex-
peet to see the market do better. Notice.
able among the buyers on the break this
afternoon were prominent export houses.
The selling was principally for the ac-
count of New York and local bears who
were assisted in their efforts to depress
prices by large number of tired longs
who desired to liquidate.

THE money was given to me got
it."
These are the words used by Coun-
ty-Treasurer r. X. Hynicka Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, long the principal lieutenant
of the noted Republican leader of that
city, George B. Cox, in frank state
ment before the legislative committee
that last week commenced an investi-
cation of charges of corruption in Gin
cinnati made during the last campaign.
The startling statement was made
by Hynicka after listening to the testi-
mony of several bankers that they had
paid money to officials of the county
treasury i'm return for having deposited
at their banks county funds, on which
no interest was paid.
Hynicka said the "gratuities" for
the first year of his term were from
$500 to $4,000 and declared the Cox
Collections averaged about $7OOO,OOO a
year.

The ideal theater audience, according
to my way of thinking, would be COM
posed entirely of children. for they
alone go to the theater i'm the proper
spirit. Their emotions are simple and
easily stirred, their perceptions at
once quick and true, and chey go to
the playhouse to be entertained. Best
of all, the stage holds for them that
magic illusion that we who are world
ly wise can never know any more, and
the region behind the footlights is to
them fairyland of enchantment upon
which they gaze with wondering, long

The first born is fortunately born if
his young mother has wisely resolved
to go slowly with infant theories and
feel her way carefully and never go to
extremes.
For the first week or two the child
requires but slight attention. He muse
be bathed, dressed, fed and kept warm.
Otherwise, for the most part, he is
Lest when left alone, gradually to
learn that he is alive and make use of
his organs and senses.
He requires no handling save that
which is necessary during the process
of bathing and dressing, with an occa-
sional turning from side to side. More
than this is not good for him.
Then he must be kept warm. To do
this it is not necessary to overburden
him with wraps or keep the room at a
dollhouse temperature If you do you
will have a baby as tender as a forced
plant.
Select the clothing with a view to
lightness and warmth. If
the weather Is at all cool be certain
that each little garment is warm be-
fore putting it on the body. Do not
put the socks on while the feet are
cool First warm the little members
with your own warm hands or by an
open fire. Warm the hands in the same
way. and If necessary, draw over them
a pair of worsted mittens and let them
remain for while until entirely warm.
Have a little afghan ready always to
throw over the child. A thin comfort
able made of eiderdown is ideal for
this purpose, as it is exceedingly light
in weight ard surprisingly warm. 1t
is also the best possible covering at
night.
For the first few days, until the child
has become acclimated. the tempera-
ture of the room may be kept at about
y degrees Fahrenheit; after this it
may be 20 degrees. Try to keep the
as even as possible as it
is better to keep it at an even low tenn
perature than a variable high heat.
Many lessons may be learned from a
casual study of animal nature. In

select a soft, warm place for her Off
spring; she washes them, feeds them
and guards them with a watchful eye,
otherwise leaves them undisturbed, and
finds them usually thriving without
drawback. 1t is when the baby animals
are mauled and petted and carried
about that they do not live, but always
pine away and die

A newspaper man who recently re-
turned from a Southern trip tells this
story: Il happened to spend a Sun
Gay in little town way down South,
and in the morning went to a colOred
church to listen to the sermon of a col
ored preacher who was a character in
the community He had for his text
the escape of the Israelites from Egypt,
and when / came i'm he spoke some-
think like this. And the Lord froze
the Red sea into a solid cake of ice
de 'odder side Then the Gpytians fol.
lowed them over the ice, but when they
got into the middle de Lord sent down
a heavy thaw which melted the ice
and percipetated the egyptians into the
water and they were all drowned The
congregation was still for about min
ute. Then a TALL thin colored man
arose and said Mister Preacher. l
begs to disagree with that last state
ment of yours. According to the geo.
graphy the Red sea is I'm the tropics,
close to the equator and the water
there never freezes The minister list
ened attentively; then i'm a loud, angry
voice replied: thought there would
be one of those smart niggers i'm this
here congregation to contradict me. But
he is not 50 smart as he thinks he is,

away from Egypt, long, long ago, there
