 dation Prior To Gov ernment Report

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-A moderate advance in the cotton market today was followed by reactions which were at tributed largely to liquidation of long accounts in preparation for Fridays government crop report. January sold off from 24.63c to 24.23c and closed at 24.30c, the general market closing steady at net declines of 10 to IS points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of 10 to 1e points. Active positions sold about r to IS points net higher in the early trading in sympathy with steady Liverpool cables and reports of frost in the belt. Private cables said Liver pool had been influenced by the frost pews and steadiness/ in the Egyptian, market but local traders did not seem to take the cold weather seriously. After the early demand had been supplied, prices turned easier under liquidation and a little southern selling. Offerings increased slightly during the early aft ernoon with Wall street selling, accom-. panied by reports of a reactionary tone in the stock market. The lowest prices of the day were made in the late trad ing when December sold at 24.02c and N arch at 24.5Tc, or 23 to 30 points net lower on active positions. Closing prices were a few points up( (from the lowest on covering.
 General business was quiet the entire day as if restricted by the uncertainty of next Fridays official crop and gin ming figures. good deal of the trad ing consisted of switches from Decem- Der to the later months. Spot houses were buyers of December against sales of January and May, presumably to transfer hedges, while there was liQui- dation of December in advance of pos sible notices next week. The early aft ernoon decline may have been partly due to reports of less active demand for cotton goods, but there was not much change in the news from southern spot markets, most advices reporting a continued steady basis.
 Exports for the day were 26, ,519 bales, making g. 735.O66 so far this season, Port receipts today 64,123. United States port stocks, 1850, 0,660.

CORN SMASHES
 INTO NEW HIGHS
Price Scars On Spirited
 Buying With Dearth Of Offerings

CHICAGO Nov 19.--New smashing of high price records for the season took place in the corn market today as result of spirited buying together with a .dearth of offerings. Profit taking however shaved down corn values at the last. Corn closed unsettled, h to 2%c net higher, May, $1.2S@1.23h. Wheat finished weak, $ to 1ssc off; oats al @c decline to shade advance, and pro- visions varying from 12c setback to rise of 42c.
 Buiges of price for corn came after all grains had shown downward ten dency in the first part of the day. The early weakness was associated with setback in wheat quotations at Liver pool, where large stocks of wheat were reported on hand with large further arrivals expected. On the decline in prices here, however, the corn market became bare of offerings and 8 general buying movement which set in lifted corn nearly 5c a bushel, December de- livery, as compared with the days low point.
 It was noticeable that as corn prices moved upward, numerous orders to buy at various definite limits were auto matically brought into operation in order to stop losses on the part of specu- lators who previously had been selling. Another circumstance which attracted comment was the fact that the advance In corn has put grain prices and hog prices further out of line for profitable feeding of corn. Primary receipts of corn were less than half as large as a year ago.
 Although wheat rallied when corn turned strong, the effect on wheat failed to last Export demand was slow and Omaha apparently on basis which al- lowed shipments from that city to Chi cago.
 Oats averaged higher, sympathizing with corn.
 Provisions were mostly steady, upheld by corn and hogs. .

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-The cot ton market today was largely a pre- bureau affair and as a result trading was restricted to evening up in advance of the government crop estimate and total of ginnings to November IA to be issued on Friday. After an early ad- vance of IA points on January mainly due to the execution of overnight buy ing orders induced by yesterdays rally the market quieted down and sagged off gradually, although rallyipg slight ly at times owing to the strength of stocks and grains until the afternoon when the declining tendency was accel- erated by larger crop ideas induced by reports that the top crop was adding considerably to the yield owing to the favorable weather At the lowest Jan. uary was 37 points below the early high and g points below yesterdays close but a rally right at the end cut its net loss for the day down to 12 points.
 Liverpool cables were rather lower than due but first trades showed gains of to 12 points and a few points ad- ditional were gained right after the opening call. Prices rallied on cover ing and trade buying near the end and the close showed net losses of only 12 to 15 points.
 It was announced from Washington during the morning no condition aver age would be issued with Fridays re- port but an estimate of the yield and the total ginnings to November IA would be given.

CURE EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Stock prices surged upward at the opening of to- days curb market on an unusually heavy overnight accumulation of buy ing orders, but sold off somewhat dur ing the afternoon in sympathy with the reaction of the Big Board"
 Heavy accumulation of the radio shares in anticipation of record-break- ing holiday business was one of the days features. Thermiodyne and R. E. Thompson attained record peak prices at 1874 and 1874, respectively, closing near the top, but Dubilier and Radio corporation, which also attained new maximum prices, forfeited their gains in the late wave of realizing.

A Cat Study

The cat always uses precisely the necessary force; other animals rough ly employ what strength they happen to possess without reference to the small occasion. One day watched . young cat playing with daffodil. She sat on her hind-legs and patted the flower with her paws, first with one paw and then with the other. making the light yellow bell sway from side to side, yet not injuring a petal or stamen.
 She took q delight, evidently, in the very delicacy of the exercise, whereas . dog or q horse has no enjoyment of delicacy in his own movements. but acts strongly when he is strong. with out calculating whether the force used may not be in great part super fuous. This proportioning of the force to the need Is well known to be one of the evidences of refined culture. both in manners and in the fine arts-Philip Gilbert Hamerton-

WORKS LOW GRADE
 GROUND AT PROFIT

James F. Foran, a mining engi- neer, who went into the Fairbanks country last year with a theory for the economical working of low grade placer ground at profit, where they could not be dredged or hand worked, has apparently made sue cesa of his venture. He took lease on the Burns property on Little FL dorado, with work ahead of him for twenty years and went to it. He drills to bedrock and then shoots the works, and the ground is soon thawed to bedrock. making the work inexpensive. It is said that if the proposition works out as it promises to do it will add millions to the out
 put of the interior placer camp.

Theories as to Right
 and Leff-Handedness

Most available evidence seems to confirm the views that left-handedness Is hereditary characteristic. The in- fant of a few months shows no prefer ence in the use of its hands. But when four or five months of age the normal child begins to show a preference for the right hand. The hereditary theory of right-handedness Is often called the primitive warfare theory" It was in the left hand that the primitive war rior held his shield to protect his heart. His right hand was left free to handle the spear or other weapon Naturally the right hand was used more and as centuries passed became more accustomed to strenuous exer- else. Finally right and left -handedness became hereditary characteristics of the race. But this is only . theory. There is a wide difference of opinion on the subject Some believe this characteristic developed by accident or education; others think that 1t Is fundamentally physiological. It is said that most people are also right-eyed right-eared and right-footed.

In a lonely Martella tower on the Essex coast of England there has just died the last of three brothers, who. re- fusing to admit women to their house hold. lived by themselves for nearly thirty years.
 All were talented men. William Cole was q naturalist, who founded the Essex museum at Stratford and the Essex Field club. Benjamin Cole was an entomologist and Henry Cole, the last to die, was an artist. etcher and sculptor.
 The tower was . comfortable though somber residence. It was difficult of access, for 1t is surrounded by a moat over 20 feet deep and 30 feet wide. This is crossed by a narrow iron gang way, which can be drawn up.
 A heavy oaken door leads Into the tower, the walls of which are eight feet thick. Below are dungeons. while the roof is reached by a narrow. dark stairway set in the thickness of tho wall. From the top the brothers could obtain magnificent views across the North sea, over the estuary of the Colne and Blackwater, and across to Colchester and Brightlingsea-
