GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Dandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one of the famous old
gambling clubs of London. 1t was at
its height in the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards of 100000.
The young men, dandies all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with great deal of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brimS,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took off their
ruflles and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues of their coats from the soil of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea. wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus or chips. Most
of the. players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks, were
perfumed, powdered and painted like
court ladies', and some of them even
affected a mincing ladylike walk. But
those who made the error of thinking
them ladylike in their fighting ability
made mistake that often cost life,
for the gay young sparks would draw
swords at the drop of a hat and meet
death with a laugh

Anthracite Coal Drops

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Anthracite
coal, mined by the independent
companies, fell another 25 cents in
price last week, selling at Sl0.25

at $50. Labor trouble experienced
by several of the big companies has
so far no effect on the local sup
ply, or the price.
Bituminous coal continued all
week to sell at buyers offerings
Pool /, the best grade mined. was
sold for 1925 (. o. b. mines, while
the lowest grades brought far less
than the cost of production.

COTTON RALLIES
TO FIRM STAND
Liquidation Last Week Gives
Staple Strength; Few
Sales Made.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Considera-
BILE strength was exhibited in cotton
TODAY and the absorptive power was
excellent. Sentiment early was mix
ed. with room traders mostly on the
bear side, and initial gains were fol-
lowed by a weak spell. The market
etartsd active and firm at an advance
of Is to 43 points.
The opening advance was lost
right after the call. owing to con-
tinued March liquidation. Other
months also eased off. There were
sharp rallies during the middle of
the morning.
throughout the afternoon the
market generally was firm. January
was the leader, advancing to 1851, a
net gain of sc points on belated COW
ering by shorts. May moved above
the 15-cent level. The market ap-
peared to have been left in a firmer
technical position by the liquidation
of the last week. At any rate, when
shorts attempted to cover they found
comparatIvely few contracts for sale,
and It required no active buying to
advance the list, which finished very
steady at a net gain of 43 to 65
points.
Spot here was quiet at an advance
of 70 points at 1850 for middlIng;
there were no sales. Spot at New
Orleans was steady, with middling
unchanged at 14.50c. The sales were
1857 bales.
Receipts of cotton in bales at some
of the leading points today were:
Galveston. 12,54S; New Orleans, 6,546;
Savannah. 1,236: Augusta, 613.
