NEw YORK COTTON.

New York. Aug. l6.-The cotton market was very quiet today, but while fluctuations were more or less irregular the general ruling Of prices was higher and the market points,
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3@5 points in response to steady late cables from Liverpool reports of con and expectations of a buliish condition re- port at midday. There was not any az gresive bull support. however, and the maj ket sagged off during the morning under scattering liquidation and bear pressure uh-- LII prices were within or points of Sat- urday's finals. The private condition re- port proved even more buliisk than expect ed. making teh condition seventy per cen. .. against the report of 75 by the same au- thority toward the end Of July and the selling at about the highest point of the day. This improvement was not fully main tained, however, and the market at times was so narrow that comparatively small order would influence 1t either way.
 Detailed Texas reports showed no rain over Sunday and high temperatures at many points. and the forecast was for clear weather generally in the Western belt Southern spot markets officially reported Hariy were generally unchanged.
 One of the private cables received from Liverpool said the South was an anxious seller of spot at present prices and that daily offerings were large but another ca ble reported that the Manchester market was improving slowly and that the tone was more cheerful.
 Receipts at the ports today 1.23e bales, against ,2o7 last week and 4.817 last year. For the week 15,0G0 bales, against HOPS last week and 4s,so7 last year.
 Spot closed quiet; points higher; mid ding uplands 12.75; mi1dlins gulf Is %; sales none.
 Futures opened steady and closed steady.

FREEZE TIGHT SHOPPERS.
1t Causes Contraction from Neck Of Bot
tie and Makes Removal Easy.

Reagent bottles holding caustic aka
lies. alkaline carbonates, etc, very IRE
uucntly become fixed and the usual
method has been to tap the stopper with
a wooden block or the application of heat
to the neck, or combination of both.
Results are poor in certain cases and
often result in the fracture of the neck.
The inverse process may be used TO
advantage In other words freeze the
stopper. thus causing Il contraction OF
the stopper from the neck. The bottles
which | used for experiment had failed
to open under the heating and tapping.
and were bad eases of fixed shoppers.
The bottles held sodium carbonate that
had formed sodium silicate, an excel
lent cement, and so We're firmly liked.
They were inverted in mixture Of
crushed ice and calcium chloride, taking
care that the freezing solution did not
touch the lips of the bottles.
After standing twenty minutes each
stopper was removed without the slight
est exertion. This is the neatest and
safest way to remove shoppers from
hrominc bottles and other corrosive
chemica Scientific American.
