SPOT INTERESTS BOUGHT
AND COTTON MOVED UP
Selling Scattered-Small Supply From
Liverpool

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Tnauenced by
the strength in stocks and an advance in
Liverpool, the cotton market this morn
ing opened quite firm, with prices to
points higher. Spot interests were buv-
ers of May and october, with purchases
believed tc be for German account of the
summer months. while traders usually
active for Russian interests also took
some of the middle and late options. The
selling was scattered, with n small sun
ply coming from Liverpool.
The demand was not aggressive enough
to suggest the presence of any strong
bullish sentiment and prices sagged off
from the best around midday. 1t was re-
ported that ocean freight room for 10000
bales had just been booked for Archangel,

SETBACK IN WHEAT
ON PROFIT-TAKING
New High Marks Established
Early in Session-Business
on Large Scale

CHICAGO, Jan. 26 Profit taking,
brought about by an absence of export
demand and efforts on the part of some
of the leading houses to check over-cn-
thusasm, caused setback in wheat
today after an enormous demand had
caused prices to again mount into new
high ground for the season today.
May touched S1.3S1s, against the pre-
vious high mark of $l.36as, established yes
terday, and July reached Sl2S compared
with the previous top mark of $l269s
made yesterday
Reports from Kansas indicated that
there was an inch of ice over wheat fields
in a large area. This excited some of the
spectators and the market responded.
Business was very large. The advance
tempted n great deal of realizing by the
bulls, which caused the reaction.
The close was only Ac. above the low
est, at $1.36A for May, against Sl.3j at the
end yesterday, while July finished at the
bottom at $l.26lI. compared with $l26i2,
yesterdays final price.
The weather map showed heavy SHOWS
in the Northwest where traffic was badly
blocked. The Price Current called at
tention to the fact that the rains of last
week had laid bare winter wheat and that
the warm weather had freshened the
iplant.
The market at Liverpool turned dull
after showing strength at the outset, The

tlnued bearish.

Napoleon's Poor Horsemanship.

Extraordinary were the precautions taken that Napoleon should never ap- pear at disadvantage on horseback. The emperor was not a first-class horseman, and his horses were al ways thoroughly broken in Here is a description of the methods en- pioyed: They were trained to remain perfectly steady under tortures of ev- cry description; to receive blows about the head drums were beat, pis- tols and crackers fired in their ears, flags waved before their eyes, clumsy packages and sometimes even sheep and pigs were thrown between their legs. None of the animals was deemed sufficiently trained till the emperor could without the least difficulty pull them up short at full gallop, which was his fayorite pace"

CELESTIAL. SMILED AT LAST
But 1t Was Not Because His Hair Had Been Pulled and Elic Nose
 TWcakcd.

Because he refused to smile and look pleasant when commanded to. Charley Chang, an Alhambra Chinese. had his hair pulled, his nose tweaked and both eyes discolo:ed by A. B. Mills, who the police say had im- bibed freely, says an Alhambra dis patch to the Los Angeles Times.
 Mills and the Chinese were both pas sengers on a late car out of Los An geles. Mills was in a happy frame of mind and favored each of the passen- gers with benign grin.
 Chang was probably thinking of @ bad business week, for his coun- tenance was long, solemn and mourn ful, and when Mills grinned at him the celestial only looked the more for lorn. Mills refused to allow anyone around him to be anything but cheer full, so he pulled Chang's hair and asked for smile.
 Chang didn't see anything laughable about the hair pulling, so he contin- ued to look sad. Then Mills grabbed the fiat oriental nose between his fingers and tweaked it until Chang bel lowed for mercy, but did not smile.
 As the car reached Garfield and Main streets Mills decided on one last superhuman effort to get a smile from Chang, so he smashed him two hard blows in the face. Just then Marshal Parker boarded the car and took Mills and his victim into custody.
 Judge Northrup placed Mills under a heavy bond to appear before him for trial in the morning and then-Charley Chang smiled.

It was at a royal review of troops that Queen Victoria made an immortal declaration. Regiment after regiment, English, Irish, and Scotch, passed be- fore the queen. When the Grenadier guards went past she expressed the warmest of admiration for the fault less technic of the regiment. When a regiment of Highlanders marched past she became positively enthusias- tic. Magnificent" her majesty is re- ported as saying. What splendid sol diers those Highlandmen are." Then came an Irish regiment, which one is not stated. This time it was not so much the faultless marching and the splendid physique that so impressed her majesty. For moment she said nothing. Then in low voice she turned to an officer and said: An. That is bloody war"
