Presence Of Mind.

The late Edward Everett Hale was one OF

Cloth MnrLet.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 2S.-In the cloth
market during the week, with the far
eastern markets quiet, the condition OF
business In that quarter is very low,
while speculative transactions were checked
by the rise In the Bank OF Engiand's rate
OF discount. Southern American orders
were just sufficient for immediate require
ments and home trade houses continue to
work on stocks. Manufacturers, however,
maintained the recent quotations on the
belief that cotton would go higher.
Yarns, despite the poor demand, kept
firm during the week, In sympathy with
cotton, only small sales being reported at
recent rates.

cember and May closed hc higher, while

Inevitable Expense That Proprietors
Of New York Hostelries Must
Be Prepared For.

The proprietor of one of the largest
hotels in New York, speaking of the
uses made by non-paying customers Of
his house, said to rural guest few
days ago: 1--WE have large number
Of patrons from whom we never col
lect a cent, although we have no such
thing as a free list. They come here
in the morning, pick up a CASTOR pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as it is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at the ticker, often
giving long lectures to their fellows
on financial conditions and stock pos
sibilities. The overcoat becomes bur-
densome, and 1t is taken to the check
room, where its owner knows it will
be perfectly safe. Then, if they can
tear themselves from the ticker, let
tiers are written on our stationery
They do not use our telephones, be-
cause we charge an extra five cents
for the call, but they carry home
matches, toothpicks, blank cards and
blotters, and use up the soap in our
lavatories. They also take generous
