Support Recovering When Buying
Was Commenced.

NEW YORK. Sept s-The cotton
market was duu today and devoid Of
any particularly new features. The
leading local bears started I'm 10 ham
mer the market down at the opening
because the weather map was good and
there was an absence Of any aggressive
buying or buu support In this way
prices were forced down about three 10
five points from last nights closing,
but on the decline there was good buy
ing 10 cover shorts through other brok-
ers and the market later recovered most
of this loss and endeu duh and barely
steady.
Futures opened easier and declined
five to seven points. Subsequently the
market fTmed-up some and recovered
about three points of the opening loss,
closing with a loss of four points under
last nights closing quotations. This
decline. however. was just about the
equivalent of the loss i'm prices here

FAKERs HAVE NEW IDEA.

Manufacturers of spurious antique
furniture have developed a new idea TO
enable them more easily 20 dispose or
their wares. Instead of ''faking" the
entire piece from new wood the fraud
purchases a genuine antique, which is
duplicated in his factory. a dozen copies
being made To each piece is allotted
a single section of the original. In the
sale the attention Of the buyer is par
ucularlv directed to this part. and as
soon as he is convinced Of the genuine
ness Of the claim the sale is more easily
made than when the entire piece has
been faxed. The process is called bud

The annual report of tho Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company was better than

those who have been perslstenuy opti-

equivalent to a fraction more than C

TO CLEAN WOODEN UTENSILS.

Sugar buckets and buckets in which
corn meal, graham meal, entire wheat
flour, ETC., are kept should be care
fully cleaned out each time they are
emptied. Sugar is known to possess
much foreign matter, as one many
find by sitting it every time it is used,
and this lodges around the bottom and
in the interstices where the wood is
joined. Flour, before the last is used,
may have begun to get wormy, or
be in such condition that worms
are ready TO appear. BY carefully
cleaning the buckets each time the
new flour will not be injured. Scrub
with water containing little am
monia; scald with boiling water, and
rinse at once with cold water; stand
in the sunshine and air until the wood
is thoroughly dry, and let the bucket
remain empty at least twenty-four
hours, If not two days, before refill
ing.
No article made of wood should be
allowed to stand in dish water. nor
should the water with which it is
scalded and rinsed he allowed to
stand inside; pour it out at once and
wipe dry, for water only acts on the
wood to the deterioration of the ar
ticle, and scalding water will swell
the fiber and soften it If not poured
out at once.-New Idea.

SEEN IN STORES

There are many thing shown now for
utility purposes, for at this season
OF the year every person feels like
renovating and there Is no place in
the house that needs it more than the
kitchen.
II one is needing new gas range
they are showing one that is such
an improvement on the old time one,
for the broiler and bake oven are
placed up above the stove proper,
and any one knows how much more
convenient it is to take care of the
broiler that way than by having to sit
down on the floor, as in the old time.
The price is no higher than the other,
as $40 purchases a good one Of re-
liable make. Thus an innovation in
a refrigerator is one that is round
in shape and enameled both inside
and out in white enamel. There are
no corners for anything to accumulate
in, and it is an ornament to any
kitchen. The cost is SIG for a fair
sized one, large enough for an ordi-
nary family, and one can match an
entire kitchen up in white enamel
ware, with a gilt band if walls are
white, as every kind of utensil
comes in that ware-or in blue enamel
if the wall design is blue.
They are showing all kinds of trays,
and one cannot have too many of
them, from the small board tray for
glass of water to the large one that
can send an entire meal to room.
They come both in the Japanned ware
and also in the lacquer and range in
price from 10 cents for small ones
to $3.50 for the large ones.
The Japanese goods are shown in
all the stores and in many useful
articles. There are the Japanese wind
bells that are pretty and unique and
come as low as 25 cents. There are
