Nothing in Them.

William" said the good wife, look
ing up from her paper, "here | see an
article that says man out in Kansas
is suing his wife for diorce, simply
because she went through his pockets
after he was asleep. Goodness knows
william, probably the poor woman
never got a cent from the brute of a
husband in any other way!"
"Uh-huh," replied William.
William" came from his better
half, don't you dare to sit there and
'uh-huh" me in such a manner!
What would you do if you woke up
and found me going through your
pockets?"
"Who-me?" asked the sleepy
husband, who had already turned
over his pay enelope to the boss OF
the house. why, I'd get up and
help you search, of course, my dear!

 Society has been Tn a state of in- sanity for sometime" said Mme. 6osac and this year wanted something else something not so horrible and which would at least be beautiful. Style, you know, Is like history. 1t repeats itself Hence this year you'll see the sty.es oi 1880. We're going to have lot oi fluffy ruffles, trimmings and othel beautiful things on the gowns. espe. cially from the waist line up.
 There Is one comforting fact, tha1 is that this year one won't see wom- an walking down the street az If sht were toppling over The woman wht walked that way, on account of th, tight skirt. had her brains in her feel and not in her head

 Best prices for the general list were registered in the final hour, the highest level being attended by greater activity Among the days favorable influences were further large gold imports, all from Canada, indications of the placing of ad- ditional foreign credits at this center sno renewed weakness in British and French exchange, with resultant advantage |, this market.

TRADING IS ACTIVE 0N MORRIS All Markets Are Firm. Poultry and Egg Sup
 plies Abundant

The flour and feed markets continue firm, and trading is fairly active. The local spot cotton quotations hold fast on an S1a-cent basis for good middling, and other cotton quotations are in propor- ton.
 Poultry and eggs are in excellent de- mand, and supplies of eggs have been especially abundant for the past few weeks. Hens are also on the market in large number. Fresh country eggs are now selling at 16 cents per dozen in case lots, and graded carton eggs are bringing IS cents. Live hens are quoted at 15 cents per pound.

NEW HIGH RECORDS MADE IN COTTON Close Steady and Frim Five
 to Twenty Points Higher

New York. March 2s.--After a com partiyely quiet morning cotton oceans active and somewhat excited with all positions making new high records of the season on covering by near month shorts and renewal of bull support The close was very steady and from 5 to 20 points net higher.
 Liverpool showed a somewhat reaction ary tendency and after opening un- changed to 1 point lower, the local mar ket worked some 6 to s points under last nisht's close as a result of realizing and some local selling for reaction. Private wires from New Orleans claiming that some cotton which had been on ship board there for Rotterdam was being re- turned to warehouses; owing to inability to procure marine insurance, probably encouraged some of the selling. Offerings were not aggressive and there was suf- ficient fresh buying on the setbacks to give the market comparatively steady undertone. It seemed that good many contracts were being absorbed around 9,J0 for October.
 During the afternoon there was a furry of near month covering and fresh buy ing which appeared to be inspired by talk of a hitch in the matter of deliveries on sellers classification. March contracts led the advance selling up to sos or 90 points net higher. while later months sold about to 14 points above last night s closing figures. Closing prices were only slightly off under realizing. Letters are said to have been received by local firms from Washington stating that the bureau of markets considers itself under no obli gation to arbitrate disputes arising from deliveries on contracts made prior to Feb ruary IS, but will make such arbitration if desired. This position seemed 10 in- spire a feeling among some traders that some of the cotton recently delivered on March contracts might be returned to sellers, should the receivers refuse to arbitrate disputes.

THE NEW ORLEANS MARKET ADVANCES All Options Reach New E High Record for
 Season

New Orleans, March 23.-After a
 period of quiet and lower prices in the first half of the session today, cotton suddenly bulged on a wave of buying
 stimulated by the report that the de- partment of agriculture had rejected blue cotton rendered on contract and appealed. All options reached new high levels for the season. Part of the buy ing was said to come from spot in- terests, who evidently felt that the rul- ing of the department had made the cotton contract now traded in more valuable. In the morning prices fell 6 to s points under yesterdays close; in the afternoon they went 8 to points above. The close was at a net gain of to points. In the morning poor cables and eX- pectations of a material reaction held the market down, although no real sell ing power developed. The trade did not
 know just how to take the cold wave which is sweeping the south, although bulls contended that it would make a late season all the later. In the after noon the market rose Is points very quickly on the Washington report and short sellers of the morning covered in confusion.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 23.-(Special. ) With moderate reaction during one period of the day the market was firm, advancing some 10 points ard closing steady. The continued demand for cotton in south for export which apparently is going forward without being hedged has given strength all along the line, encouraging spinners who have not secured reserve sup plies to ask higher prices for their goods. So quietly has the market reached present prices in face of con- tinued resistance to the undercurrent of events by the trade, that they are unwilling to admit that even higher prices are possible.
 Higher prices for foodstuffs are leading interior merchants to inquire tor goods, while the enormous export demand for American goods from mar lsets which have hitherto depended upon the European countries for 'he'r supplies, bids fair to give employment to many now out of work.
