Having carefully estimated the
amount OF liquor that he and two bar
tenders could sell in a single evening
under the most favorable circum-
stances, Boyle packed up the remainder
of his stock and put 1t IN storage. Then
he laid the sawdust trail, covered the
floor with saw dust and put up eXplana-

and brewery signs were taken down to
make way for the new ones. Two OF

one thing was yesterday established
in the Supreme Court suit of Miss
Louise Nutter against Herman Hand
for $4,000 for breach OF promise. and
that was the great persistence of the
plaintiff IN her effort 90 become the
wife of the defendant, having followed
him around the world.
Hand plays the French horn in
Sousa's band. About three years ago
he went with the organization on a
tour OF the world, on which he met
Miss Nrtter. The meeting took place
on steamer going from Cape Town
10 Austria IA.
The setting was most romantlcaliy
ideal for a courtship, said Miss Nuttcr,
placing much stress on the brig Z
moonlight nights on the deck OF the
steamer. where Hand did his counting.
Ills dream girl" was the term the
romantic young woman said the must
clan applied 80 her. Hand, apparently
with more music than romance IN his
soul, denied the terms Of cndearment.
reuudiated al responsibility for the
moonlight and added that his meeting
with Miss Nutter was brought about
through a distressing case Of scaS!ck-

London. March 31.-The China Asso-
ciation. an organization devoted to
British business interests with China,
recently addressed two letters TO the
Foreign Office concerning the Japanese
demands, in which grave apprehension
Is expressed that if China is compelled
tc accept the demands as published,
there will be a serious infringement or
the open door policy OF commercial
opportunity. Dispatches to-day state
that the Hong Kong press Is agitated
III a similar manner.
What the government will do is a
matter of much speculation here. In
the commercial community interested
il Chinese business there is Cutspoken
criticism Of Japans action, which
arouses much bitter feeling. In one
commercial quarter il was stated to-
Gay that private kilograms from China
declared that Japanese troops were
pouring into China-jst how many it
was impossible TO ascertain but the
impression was given that the troops
are in excess even of figures already
published.

STEADY BUSINESS IN COTTON GOODS Demand for Sheetings to Supplant Burlap a
 Feature

New York, June 26.-Cotton goods mar ket not active, but there is a steady volume of filling in business going on in small lots. In the primary markets the demand for sheetings and osnaburgs to be used in place of burlaps continues a feat uare. Substantial quantities are being taken. not only to fill the gap caused by the dearth of burlap supplies, but also be- cause of the relative cheapness of cotton goods. The jobbers are only ordering goods about as they need them to start the first months business in the new half year. They are taking in all goods in or der without hesitation. Bleached cotton remains steady Prints are quiet, business being restricted in several directions by inability to supply indigo and other colors wanted. A small business is being done in ginghams In the absence or indigo denims. some manufacturers of overalls are accepting substitutes, dyed blacks, grays or part blues. Trade in fine and fancy cottons at the counters continues good and converters are cleaning up all stocks well, and jobbers find 1t necessary to keep up assortments to meet the small steady demand from retailers for quick shipments. A few hundred bales of sheet ings have been sold for Red sea shipment but export shipment on the whole is very quiet with the larger markets. Prices are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s, 3Ac 64x6o's. 31sc; 3Sss-inch, 64x64s, 4Q4kc; brown sheetings, southern standards, GAG; tickings, S-ounce. l115c; denims, Bounce. l3Ae; standard prints, 514c; staple ging- hams, 6Ac; dress ginghams, SAC.
