 Middling ...... ...........14 3-sc
 The cotton market opened the new week Monday morning with an ad- vance of eight to nine points for all months. and ruled very steady Throughout the session. A decided change in views and the disposition sn Europe is reflected by the cables from Liverpool and the trade is in- clined to work on the present basis of prices. The sentiment over the coun- try is bullish and government crop estimate to be issued Friday is ex- pected to favor the bull side.
 The local spot cotton business is in better stage of development With a better inquiry for spots from spin ners. the local shippers were looking around some Monday. Two trades were made and a total sale of 360 bales was recorded in the local mar ket. The staple was released around the 14 1-2 cent mark. Some cotton was offered by the factors but the ma jority of the holders still desire the 15 cent level for their staple.
 But the receipts into the local mar ket were the usual light Monday re- ceipts. A total of only about 425 bales was received by all the ware houses. The greater part of this came by rail as approximately forty bales covered the amount of wagon cotton brought to the Square. Prices ranged pretty stiff on the street and most of the staple was warehoused before noon
 On Wednesday the Census report, showing the cotton @ginned to Decem- her 1. will be published. It will be compared with 11.00s.661 bales ginned last year to the same date and s.343.- s96 bales ginned in 1907. The ginning cember 1, last year. Wednesdays bureau is expected to give 5000 00o

 Following Is a copy of a market let ter mailed by H. & B. Seer Sonpany cotton merchants of New orleans to Having been assailed on all sides by the numerous unofficial crop estl- mates of the past week. some large some small and some moderate rang 200. 900 bales, averaging about lV,too' GOO bales, the market finally waied through the flood of reports, ana ls now all agog as to the annual omGia' crop estimate of the United States De- partment of Agriculture on the prop ably size of this years growth ex- elusive of linters The report IS que
 next Friday. December l9th at J | o'clock, New Orleans time. The meth cd usually employed to arrive at the probable size of the crop is the talk | ing of the acreage, which originaiiy was placed at 31,91s,000 acres. multl. l and divide by 500. which would repre- | sent the gross weight per bale.
 "There will probably be revision ! in the original figures of this year s | acreage, as a great deal of land was l said to have been abandoned after the l date, May 25th., when the figures were | published. much land having been 1 p1owed under on account of the pres . | ence of the weevil in the Mississippi | Valley, and a great deal of the origi- nal acreage was said to have been l abandoned on account of the torren- | tial rains in the central portions or \ the belt, notably in Mississippi and | Alabama. preventing cultivation of | much low land; therefore, 1t Is to be | presumed that the government esti- | mate will be calculated upon small | CT acreage than originally estimate | last May, perhaps on the basis of
 about 31.0O0.000 acres.
 "As to the probable production of lint per acre. it Is said that 1t Is the
 smallest for many year, due to the serious drouth, abnormally high tenn peratures last summer and on account
 of the weevil. If that be so. the
 yield per acre in smaller than in 1897
 and in the Sully season of 190S-04, in | which years the yield per acre was lI5 pounds. On the basis of 3l.000.oOo | acres and lint per acre of ITS pounds
 the indicated actual growth in bales | of 500 pounds gross weight wouli be | tive deductions, as the range of esti-
 mates recently issued will show.

 further perhaps As regards our op- | inion we would place more importance | in the number of bales ginned to De- cember 1st than in any estimate that
 might be issued as an indicative of the
 less than 9,000.000 bales, we would | consider 1t bullish, as we feel that 1 more than last years percentage gin-
 ned to December 1st. SAL per cent
 was ginned this year, for on this basis
 more than about 1O,7OO. 900 bales. The

Homesick for Tobacco.

And to you I bequeath the dog, -
said a New York man who was going
to London to live.
The family that had been commits
stoned to take care of the dog liked
the dog, but the dog did not like them.
By and by his dissatisfaction became
so pronounced that the family passed
him along to another friend of the ex-
patriate. The second family was not
so fond Of the dog as the first family
had been, but the dog did not mind
their lack of affection. Apparently he
had struck n honey" atmosphere
that pleased him, so he settled down
contentediy. One day the story Of
that dogs eceenIricities was related
TO a man who knows all about dogs.
The second family wondered why the
dog had evinced such an unwelcome
partially for them.
1T isn't the people in this house
that attract the pup" said the dog ex-
pert ITS the tobacco smoke. His
former master was an habituaI
smoker. The man, his clothes, his
rooms, everything about him. smelled
like one big cigar. He liked it. No
body smoked in that house where he
first lived He missed the scent of to-
bacco, and wasn't satisfied till he got
to another place where the air is blue

In Her Day There Were No Chin

Our secretary of agriculture, Hon

average laborer is now living better
than did Queen Elizabeth in her time.
In many respects, yes. We have
acquired a great many comforts that
the good Bess never dreamed of. She
had many palaces, but not one of
them was fit for the modern family of
moderate q income to inhabit. They
had big rooms and rugs, tapestries
and the like, but in winter the fire
places smoked and in summer flies
and other pests abounded. There
were no heating apparatus, no wire
screens, no toilet apartments, no ele-
vators. When the head of the state
wished to take a bath a big tub was
hauled in and in this she abluted.
When she set out on a voyage the
vehicle. finest OF its kind, was big.

on a crude cid forerunner of saddle

were uncomfortable and poorly made.
The postal service was poorly organ
lied, and the telegraph and, telephone
were not invented. Cooking was done
on a gross scale Whole animals
were roasted on splits, and great
hunks were carved or torn off and set
before royalty in that shape as before
callers.
There was no running water in the
homes, and the old oaken bucket was
the medium through which thirst was
quenched.
They had a sort of ale or malmsey
which was good enough for the times,
but as Milwaukee had not then be-

would give block parties. taking her

There were no airships to distract
her attention from her queenly duties.

VARIETY IN DISHES

Many Combinations OF Vegetables
with Sauces May &c Utilized

The getting of a dinner every. day
in the year Is bound TO become mo-
uotonous unless care and thought is
given not only to the selection and
preparation OF the food. but also 20
the ones by whom it is to be eaten.
It is folly to cater to the tastes Of
healthy individuals. who should eat
anything placed before them. On the
other hand Il is the frail one who
should always have attention.
The large markets afford variety
enough at any season of the year. but
It is the housewives in the small viii
lagos and on the farms who complain
Of its lack Here fresh vegetables and
fruits are out OF the question and the
problem of change becomes serious.
Vegetables lend themselves to many
combinations and may be so treated
by pungent sauces or dressings as to
almost lose their original havors.
Potatoes alone win give an almost
endless variety. A hot salad that will
go nicely with any meat dish may be
made quickly. and when once eaten
viii destroy all taste for cold salad
ever after.
Hot Potato Selad.-It is made of hot
mashed potatoes; season these with
butter, pepper and salt: add hot
boiled dressing with or without the
addition Of sugar.; when thoroughly
mixed with the potatoes care being
taken to get 1t moist enough. but not
too much so. add chopped onions and
a bit of celery or celery salt, and
serve hot Hard boiled eggs may be
added, but the salad Is good without.
Stuffed Cabbage.-For this we'll
shaped head of cabbage should be
used. parboil and cut out as much of
the center as desired. Enough sau-
sage to I'LL the cavity viii be needed.
To this add a small onion and piece
of ham one inch square, minced fine;
3 little chopped parsley: a BIT OF bay
leaf; salt and pepper to taste. Pack
into the cabbage head, tie in cloth
tightly aud boil or steam A slice of
bacon may be added II desired, for
further favor.
This is an old Creole recipe and an
excellent change in the preparation of
cabbage.
