POTATOES"
STONES, HOUSE.
WIVES FIND

NEW YORK, Oct. 9-Half a dozen
grocers whose shops are in the neigh
borhood Of Lexington avenue between
Sixty-fourth and Sitxy-eighth streets,
were visited by irate housewives, each
one armed with a good-sized potato.
To the lodging grocers the visitors,
one and all, made angry complaint
somewhat as follows.
Zine potatoes you're selling your
customersl It's an outrage You ought
to be arrested"
And herewith up went the house
wifes arm after the fashion OF suf-
gragette Tesreau, and down came the
potato on the grocery floor with the
resounding whack OF a perfectly solid,
unclastic and inedible rock. And In
each case the potato brought by the
housewife was really rock and noth-
ing else.
Potatoes PetFited, Sure Enough.
Some of tho angry women declared
that they had boiled their "petrifed
potato" with the vegetable ones pur-
chased at the store before they no.
ticed it's rocky makeup. Several even
complained of broken dishes they now
had as "a result of dumping thereon
/ kettleful of real and rock potatoes
mixed One matron insisted that she
had even tried a knife on one before
she discovered that, while 1t apparent
ly had a jacket it couldn't bo IN
dressed.
The amazement of the grocers knew
no bounds, especially when they eN
amined their potato barrels and foun'
that, sure enough. there We're dozenl
of perfectly life-like "petriied pota
toes. among the edible ones. OnI
grocer tried TO explain the phenome
non to an irate customer by assuring
her that the strange circumstanc'
must be ascribed to the fact that thl
potatoes were Long Island potatoes,
and not like the kind he had beel
\ handling.
The mystery was explained later Il
the day, however, when one groce
happened 20 stop on Lexington ayenu

and girls with baskets gathero

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-~The cotton
markets of the world were strong to-
day. While some influences of
superficial character appeared TO work
for lower prices, there was no 'ques-
ton as to the fundamentals, and
even II the ginners report, issued
by the government. had not been
favorable there was enough optimistic
news furnished from other sources
to have caused a strong and higher
market. Resistance to the advance
has been very pronounced recently.
Not only short selling. but withdraw
ing of buying orders by spinners hop
ing for a reaction have been features
OF the trading situation. But on the
announcement by the census bureau
at the opening that only approximate
ly AS50,00o bales of cotton had been
ginned, the trade instantly took the
view that crop estimates as rule need
reduction.
The ginners' report compared with
last years figures of 1871, 200 bales.
and showed positively. therefore, a
deficit OF I.12I,000 bales. up to No

year this percentage was about Ga

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The Penn

the running time of these trans
twenty hours instead of eish e-n.
One OF the reasons for this change
is that dt-ing the winter months there
are many distractions to traffic which
do not obtain in good. weather. But
the main reason is that Investigations
following wrecks, which have occurred
In winter, have shown that frost SO
