 New York Oct. 2s--owing to the demor- alization in the foreign exchange market. cotton was. pressed for sale again today at one time being nearly an additional S1 per bale lower. December having sold at 9.14, against s.9 92 at the close of yester- day.
 For the first time within one week New York furnished the trade with a rate on sterling exchange. sixty day bills being quoted at 4.74 to 4.74h vs. to 4.79M about S100 to the to contEact Aside of this feature there was nothing of importance in the way of developments other than to state that the stock market ruled rather weak and that English Consols and French Rentes were lower in anticipation of the Bank of England. which is in splendid con- dition as to reserves. advancing it's rate of discount, means of checking the outflow are said to total about S1s,0 o00 with the probability of more to follow.
 In so far as conditions In the United States are concerned affairs appear to be in the possibility of distrust spreading to European financial centers, such as London, Paris ad Berlin.
 As has been the case for some little while the local banks were buyers of exchange to a limited extent the abnormalIy low rate prevailing virtually prohibits business on an extensive scale. which the country is so enx- to realize substantial credit The situation Is not at all encouraging
 Savannah made another big cut in prices today values being lowered to 10c for mid down. The eastern half of the belt has been selling freely. the western half hold ing fast There being no unification in ac- tion. there has been failure in the move- ment to realize 15c.

upon all sorts of tricks to achieve my
purpose reasonably.
Il bought punches Of ferns and as
paragus vine or other greens for the
nucleus Of my bouquets. I learned
from florists how to keep them fresh.
I found they lasted a long time, In a
bunch Of green I'd run for instance
q few carna tions-they last well--or q
bunch Of wallf1owers. I found the
cheapest places for getting flowers.
If I saw a tempting bunch for sale on
the street at q tempting price I'd get
il. A good many of my friends are
following my example.
Zone woman who felt she could never
afford II before now has flowers on her
able for every meal She has knaek
Of keeping her bouquets fresh in this
way. When one or two flowers in q
bunch 4-4-u she replaces them with
fresh ones I met her coming home
one day with two red carnations. To
replace two faded ones she said. You
see / have reduced the making Of an
economical bouquet to a fine art
The economical bouquet should be
kept in a vase that holds a generous
supply of water. Stems should not be
crowded At night the flowers should
be taken from the vase and laid in a
basin Of water. In the morning the
vase should receive a fresh supply OF
water and the stems Of the flowers
should be clipped
"A bunch Of fresh flowers in a room
fills the room with fragrance It may
be a very slight fragrance, but it is
none the less a charming acquisition.
Then there are hot water bottles
Who can guess the comfort OF them
who has not found one at the foot OF
ones bed Of a cold winters night2
Most people in New York agree now
that the cold sleeping room is far
more healthful than the warm one
This IS all very well, but people who
sleep in cold rooms should have the
Old World comfort derived from the
hot water bottle which is put between
sheets every night just before bedtime
10 take the chill from the sheets and
to keep the feet from getting too cold
Hot water bottles over here are
hot water bags I have one tucked into
my bed every night that is at all cold
for I am fond Of q cold room at night
