New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.--Hutton's wire says:
Local market opened steady, Sc TO &c advance.
Trading was quite active. The bear crowd
fought the advance for while but. finding
cotton going into strong hands, they soon turned
TO cover, and the market closed at the highest
OF the session
The visible statement was less bearish than
expected The visible supply made smaller
increase than anticipated. Cables were steady
and the ring bears made the usual effort to
open the market down. but stopped on finding
that they unable TO force liquidation. The
market appears thoroughly sold out.

be escorted by an imposing fleet. The
exact constitution of this royal armada is
now receiving attention at the hands of
the admiralty. Though no decision will
be arrived at for some time, l hear il
is probable that a special service squad
rom will be formed. and that this will be
composed of the newest cruisers and bat
tleships in commission. and will be made
up principally of vessels drawn from the
home fleet. 1t is almost certain that one
of these vessels will be the Dreadnought.
and the new battleship Lord Nelson and
the cruisers Shannon and Minotaur are
also likely to form part of the feet.
The suggestion has been brought forward
that the command of this fleet should be
assumed by his royal highness in person.
who would thus hoist his flag as a full
admiral for the first time. The princes
views, however, have not yet been
certained on the subject. At Quebec the
fleet will be Joined by the cruisers com
posing the North American feet. and will
subsequently visit several other of the
Canadian ports in order that Canadians
generally may see something of the
naval might of the empire. Altogether
the cruise Is likely to last for month
or more, and it is stated that visit to
certain ports of the United States may
be paid before returning home.

IS now setting about an open and eX-
tended propaganda of emigration among
The French peasantry. Hitherto what III
tie enterprise of this nature Canada may
nave bestowed upon the French people
has been operated under rigorous limita-
tfons and without publicity. The Ca
,nadians were restrained by the Tear OF
rousing the hostility of the French gov
eminent. The latter might have taken
measures to prohibit the emigration of fit
neasants on the ground that their own
country was suffering from the evils OF
rural depopulation. An important change
has recently taken place in this connec-
ton. France is interested in Canada IN
IN enlarged degree as market lor ner
exports, which is rendered the more ad-
vantageous by the concession of the ca
madam intermediate tariff In terms of the
new treaty. Consequently, the French
government is disposed now not mere
iy to tolerate. but to encourage. emf
Grafton to Canada from among the
f'rench people. Specifically. this emlgra-
ton will be directed toward the PROV
ince of Quebec. where the mother tongue
of France is spoken and the French I'M
own race.
Consular Service.
1t is common complaint that Eng
land loses much of it's foreign trade be-
cause of the ancient methods of its con-
Sullr representatives <AS a Aiell-
ter of fact the present government is
quite alive to the necessity for having
well-trained men In it's consular service.
The Levant consular service. which now
includes in its area not only the Turk
ish dominions, but some Balkan states
and Persia as we'll. has several men well
versed in the language history and Gus
toms of these countries. Greeks or
Armenians or eastern Christians are no
longer to be seen in the Levant looking
after British interests. All these officials
are trained in Cambridge. where there is
a school for student interpreters. as can
didates for the consular service are call
ed. During their training these student
interpreters receive 920O year from the
foreign Office. A batch of these have
Just passed their examination. and will
shortly proceed to the Levant and to
Persia to undertake their duties. There
are great opportunities in the service for
smart young men who are not afraid of
lengthy exile from home.

A Pull With the Editor.
From Nautilus,

1 am asked continually if it doesn't
take pull to succeed in my profession
It does. but the pulling is all at the desk.
and consists Of doing the very best work
you can. OF course. you may see persons
whose excellence you do not appreciate
go past you on what the slang of the day
calls "a pull with the editor But con-
tent yourself. a thing like that must be
and. after all, it is not your
affair If you have done something
worthy and shown courage and industry

in getting II before the right people you
have expressed yourself in truth and wis
dom and you may depend upon the re-
suits exactly as you depend upon the re.
suits of the great natural laws. exactly
as the farmer depends upon the rotations
Of the seasons or as we float logs TO
mill by our knowledge that water runs
down hill and not up.

Imperial Strategist.

1t was the war in the far east which
really gave Col. Repington his official
entry into British politics as a publicist.
On the outbreak of the war he was in
vited by the Times to become it's mill
tarT correspondent His able and lucid
essays and admirable forecasts were con-
sidered both here and In Japan to be
the best treatises of contemporary war
fare that had ever been penned. But
his masterpiece Is the volume which he
subsequently published called Imperial
Strategy
Now the knowledge Of his profession,
the ability with which he prohed the
secrets Of continental bureaus, the equity
of his judgments, as demonstrated by
his contributions to the Times, together
with his large clientele of military ad-
m:rers, brought Col. Repngton into con-
tact. even conflict, with the leading
naval and military authorities in this
country. This contact ultimately became
a communion. and when it is remem-
bereu that many Of the soldiers now In
ugh position at the war office are his
contemporaries in staff service it is easy
10 see how his great intellect has Zee
come greater service to the nation
than it ever would have been if he had
remained shackled in the reticence re-
CURED by the kings regulations
