COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, December 2S.-The cot
ton market showed renewed steadiness
at the reopening today, first prices
being 2 to points net higher on buy
ing of the same character as that noted
before the holidays. Liverpool remain
ed closed, so that there were no cables
to influence sentiment here. and there
seemed to be very little cotton for sale
around the ring. The absence of either
December or new style January notices
may have encouraged some of the scat
tered investment buying which sent
prices about 8 to 8 points net higher
during the early trading.
Steadiness in New Orleans was sup
posed to reflect continued steadiness in
the interior spot markets over the hol-
idays, and optimistic reports from the
steel trade promoted expectations of
gradually improving general trade
conditions. q.
Futures opened steady as follows:
December. 7.35; January, 7.55: March.
1853; May. 7.S9; July, $40; October, S.33.
Rumors that Austria was negotiating
for peace seemed to stimulate the buy
ing movement to some extent late in
the morning, and the market was very
firm shortly after midday, with active
months selling about IA to Is points
net higher. Houses with foreign con-
nections continued to buy on the ad-
vance, while there was very little cot
ton for sale, and no sign of southern
hedging against supplies in the Interior.

perience in engineering work, such as
digging trenches.
Offer of Dances Would Win Recruits.
"If we advertised for 'ping-pong SOL

In the National Guard are strong, atn,
letic men, who delight in camping ano
roughing it.
What I want to do is to build up
militia in the state of New York OF de-
pendable aghting men. War is a rough
business, and you have to use rougn
methods in preparing the men OF tne
militia for it. The engineers OF the

to be useful in time of war must get
acquainted with the earth's surface IN
time of peace. The army engineers are
