no bullish disposition visible end the
only people who think cotton has any
merit are the spinners and they prove
their faith by their works which is the
best test of sincerity.
Liverpool scored another 10000 day
of spot sales and the demand here and
at the South has been excellent for the
medium high grades, that is between

The supply of such grsdes in our local

about all of the $4,000 bales shipped
during the past three weeks was Of
this character.
One result os the recent heavy pur-
chases by spinneTs will be rapid de-
crease in the visible supply of suc6
grades in our local stock figures, and
the present excess Of APO, 900 bales of
American, will in all probability be
wiped out before the end of March,
while the end of April will see the last
of the excess of all kinds of 10000.
Bearish sentiment has built up large
and vulnerable short interest in this
market and probably in other markets
also. Toe appetite of spinners for the
actual stuff is a source of worry to
shorts, but they are relying on
the chance of good weather, and talk
of big increase in acreage, to off set
the activity OF spinners. Should bad
spell of weather set in, the tide Of new
buying would sweep. them off their

Moroccan negotiations has removed a
serious obstacle to better prices for
cotton and the feet is seen in the

An anecdo8e which was current Of
Ferdinand l. of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to a common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was Overtaken by a
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref

were just then at dinner, and his fam
CIV was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when be got to Vienna, to the hor-
ror of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandaliZed that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
ed that he had will of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
it was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de
clared that he would never sign anoth.

To prevent stoppage of the govern

drawn, and his majesty chung tena-

neriaI phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted on
gratifying a silly whim some one was
sure to say:

INSURANCE.
The Beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.

The beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.
The practice of insurance was known
to the ancients, being in vogue at the
beginning of the Christian era.
The insurance of ships was undoubt-
edly part of the business of the Hanse-
attic league, which was formed about
114O bv- the port towns of Germany to
protect themselves against the pirates
of Sweden and Denmark.
The custom of drawing out insurance
nolicies originated in Florence in 1923,
although n regular chamber of insur-
once was formed at Bruges early in the
fourteenth century, and the practlce
was in general use in Italy in 1874 ana
In England in 1860.
Fire and life insurance is of much
more recent origin. Some of the an
cient guilds provided compensation Tor
onv of their members who suffered loss
from fire. but the insurance of goods
and houses as a distinct branch OF busl-
ness cannot be traced farther back
than 1867. the year after the great fire
of London.
The first regular company, the Hand
INLAND. was founded in 1896, and FIVE
other companies still existing Were
started in the quarter of a century
which followed. Life insurance was

The Importance of disinfection is shown

from the President is quoted:
''We have used Platt's Chlorides in the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptives for more
than ten years, and find it not only COM
fort but necessity. Through its use we
defy the germs to make any inroads on
the nurses and employees who are in con-
slant attendance upon the sick, one hun
bred of whom are now in the institution.
One nurse has been there well on to ten
years, ascend almost as long, and not one
person ever employed in the Home has de-
