 There was some spot demand from France, yesterday.

II is possible that, at the same time. new crop accounts may be favorable. that pressure on late | months is likely to widen the differences, which during the past week of liquidation were inclined to grow smaller.
 Cables from Liverpool during the week have been conflicting, one day dismal the next day cheerful; but on the average. pes simism has been their keynote" is the opin- ion of a prominent New York house. we think that the fly in the ointment Is the low price of silver. and we feel certain that China and the Far East will be found act

ANOTHER ADVANCE

 There was another advance in the price of cotton in the local market yesterday. the official quotations for middlinE being raised to 9M cents.
 So far as the activity of the market was concerned, the rise had no effect All that sould be purchased at that price was fifty four bales Another factor was willing to let loose about 100 bales. for S-1sths. But further than this, there Is no evidence of weakening on the part of the holders.
 Unless there is . rise in the futures mar ket this morning, 1t is probable that the To- cal price will again fall as, yesterday af' trenoon, both the New York and New Or leans markets dropped. .
 The market Is very receptive In the ab- sence of demand, comparatively important news Is used to swing the market back and forth. The market is In practically the same condition that 1t was two months ago. Optimism is. if anything. less pro- nounced. and those who believed that cotton would fall back to skc, find nothing more definite in which to hest their opinions than do those who say cotton will advance to 10 cents.

WALK, THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Don't SLOUGH, Don't Wobble, Dop't
Strut, If You Would Be q
Model for Others.

Look to your walk, says Sue
cess. 1t has more to do with your
success or failure than you, per-
haps, dream of. Don't SLOUGH.
Don't wabble. Don't shuttle.
Don't strut. Walk like a man who
is determined to play a mans part
in life, with head erect and feet
planted firmly on the ground.
One may see, on the streets of a
city, every day, many people who
are walking failures. There is not
the slightest energy in their move
ments. Their whole bearing gives
testimony Of their weakness.
How do we know that they are
failures? Nothing is simpler.
There is a subtle connection be-
tween the mind and the body. The
mental attitude Is reflected in the
spontaneous movements Of the
body, and you can very quickly
tell By a mans walk and general
bearing whether his mind is alert,
his'spirit progressive and earnest,
and his whole being full Of life and
vigOr and determination. Or he 10

II has lately been recorded in
London Tit Bits that the late Dr.
Samuel Smiles caused to be bur
led under the foundation stone
Of a house that be built az Black
heath a copy Of his own world-re.
noWned work, "Self Help" but Il
may here be said that if all the
books that have during the last
few decades been similarly buried
were to be disinterred a consid-
cradle library would be the result.
That clever dramatist, the late
h. J. Byron, who wrote "0ur
Boys" had a mania for removing
from house to house, and on one
occasion, when be built a new
house in the north Of London, he
placed l~neath the foundation
stone the original script Of sew
eral Of his plays. When this house
was afterward sold, just at the
time when the dramatist's fame
was at its zenith, the land agent
in charge Of the transaction cited
the buried manuscript as giving
additional value to the premises.
In the north Of England, and
especially in Yorkshire and Ian.
cashire, it was found that coins
and other Yaluables deposited be
meath the foundation stones OF
new public buildings we're only
too frequently appropriated by
cunning wOrkers-and this de-
spite the efforts Of contractors
and their foremen-and it thy be
came the custom always to pOsit
the volume which formed Ne cur
rent LEGAL directory, and es OF
these lists Of the inhabitants OF
towns at given time have been
thus placed.
In many cases copies Of the
works of authors whose names
have been identified with a given
locality have been placed beneath
the foundation stones Of public
buildings in such districts, cases
in point being furnished by Dick
ems, Harrison AinswOrth and 9th
ers. Near York a gentleman
built a mansion upon the site Of a
dwelling formerly in the occupa
ton of Laurence Sterne, and he
placed beneath it a complete SET
Of the works Of that author, one
Of these being a valuable auto
graph copy.

CURIOUS HABITS OF DUCKS.
No Domestic Fowl So They
Are Light sleepers and
Retire Late.

Men whose lives have been spent
in the care Of domestic birds tell
me that there are none more nerY-
GUS than the duck, says a writer in
the Era magazine. Although it is
apparently an easy-gOing, dull and
sensuous creature, the duck is
said to be the most easily excited
Of all the feathered ones which
comprise so much Of our food sup
ply, and this is accounted for by
the fact that a duck is a light
sleeper.
It never retires for rest until
midnight, and by four o'clock or
ave it is out again ready to begin
another day. II you enter a
chicken coop between midnight
and morning the occupants, hud.
died together on their rOOsts, will
Be STEPPED in slumber. But invade
a duck coop at the same hour end
there viii arise at once a iargon
Of prOtestatiOns.
And none Of the domestic birds
is. as easily disturbed as the duck.
The appearance Of anything an.
usual viii set it and its comrades
all a-iutter and interfere serious
y with their egg-Iaying. Unlike
chickens or pigeons, the duck does
not require a nest, but is satisfied
to lay it's eggs on the fat ground.

DEcADENT NEW HAMPSHIRE
Nothing More Depressing Than a
Trip Through Inland Regions Of
the State, Says Writer.

Nothing in life could be more
depressing than a trip through
the inland regions Of New Hamp-
shire-living with the cynical old
men whose energies are spent, and
with the occasional young men
NombrOsO types, inarticulate
but with a keen nose for the limo
cent-loOking farmhouse where
liquor is sold under a secOnd-class
license, says a writer in Country
Life in America.
AS a type Of what will cease to
be possible within a year, let me
present the deserted village,
which, to spare the feelings of the
inhabitants, will call by a ficti-
tiOus name-say Deadville. AS
one walks down from one Of the
greatest views in the eastern Unit.
ed States into abandoned Dead
vile the effect is appalling.
Swinging down the main road
into ''The Center" itself, we pass
on right and left four abandoned
farms with their houses. As we
enter the desoIate street we are
fronted by a deoaying church and
a town hall, the stale sun-blisteFed
paint peeling of. On the right
hand is a deserted grocery store,
and next it an abandoned house
and grounds. Three more houses
make up the total town commune
ty. One Of them is for sale, with
IS acres of land, for $500.
