SUGAR CORNER
ACTION HIT

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The pro-
tective committee of holders Of
ontracts in December, 1884,
sugar contracts on the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exchange, Inc,
expressed the opinion yesterday
that the short sellers of the
option should be assessed penal
ties much heavier than the IS
points levied by the Exchange"
This penalty is provided for
cases in which the failure to de-
liver arises from no fault Of the
short sellers, the com m / tie Q
charged. whereas the sellers were
at fault and the exchange has
ample reason for decreeing a
heavy penalty"
The action of the exchange on
December is. in declaring an
emergency and suspending
trading in December contracts
put the longs Gin a most unfavor-
able and hazardous position be-
cause there we're no buyers Of
their contracts except the shorts
who. would not make bids. ON
the exchange" the committee
continued. The statement also
said:
"The setting Of the spot
price Of 2.OS cents. does not
really represent the price Of
spot. because the only actual
spot sugar was Cuban sugar
which could not have been sold
below 2.1S5 cents -

FUTURE
TRADE QUIET

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 O.N.SO.
The cotton market was an ex-
tremely quiet affair today, with
the run of contracts holding in a
narrow range around previous
closing levels.
Dealings in the ring reflected
generally dull trading in outside
markets, as spectators awaited
the Presidents message to Con.
gress, which may furnish some
clues to what of a political or in
flationary nature lies ahead.
Although Liverpool cables were
well below due prices at the time
of the New York call, futures here
were l point higher to / point
lower, moderate purchases from
domestic trade sources absorbing
an initial furry of selling. With
little to influence dealings in the
market during the remainder Of
the forenoon, futures held around
opening levels.
Foreign sources were again in
the market for small quantities Of
cotton. Spot firms and local trad.
ers sold. Scattered offerings we're
traced to the South.
Noon quotations were off l to
up / point, with March off l at
1858, May unchanged at 1915.
July up / at 1880, October off /
at 1882, and December up l at
1889.

"a Little Learning"

"N1HERE" inquiries a reader. "do
w we get the quotation A little
knowledge is a dangerous thing?"
The question propounded reflects a
general misapprehension of the cor
rect quotation. This allusion to
sapience is not "A little knowledge"
but "A little learning is dangerous
thing"
We have the line from Pope's
Essay on Criticism" the complete
quatrain reading:
"A little learning Is a dangerous
thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian
spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate
the brain.
And drinking largely sobers us
again."
The same thought had previously
been expounded by Bacon in an
essay, "Of Atheism" where, for in
stance, we find:
"A little philosophy inclineth mans
mind to atheism, but death in phi
losophy bringeth mems minds about
to religion"

Swifts are great travellers. There are
$50 species and sub-species distributed
over the greater part Of the world.
Most of them prefer the Tropics.
However, about one-third of them are
Americans, and FIVE are established
north of Mexico.
In migrating, chimney swifts gather
in great f1ocks. When convenient.
chimney is used as a tourist camp. In
perching, the sojourners cling to the
sioe of the chimney. using their spine-
pointed tails, as their neighbors, the
woodpeckers, do, to brace themselves.
Chimneys, of course, have taken the
place Of hollow caves and trees, these
having disappeared to an alarming
degree, in the opinion of the chimney
swifts. Being a resourceful family,
they accepted the chimney in lieu of a
handy hollow tree.

IDENTIFY the little brooding mothers are

the nursery is in dim recess. There

Some folks confuse the swifts with

THIS surname is taken from the
= Hebrew word meaning "son of the
right hand" The youngest of the
Biblical Jacobs IL sons was named
Benjamin. The name, however, is not
altogether confined to Jewish fam
lilies. There are many derivatives Of
the name Benjamin which are sep

known in all parts of the country to-
day-Benn. Benny, Benson, Bencock.
Bense, Benkin.
One of the first representatives Of
this name in America was John Ben
jamin, who came to Boston, Mass, IN
1882. He became a landed proprietor
in Cambridge, Mass, in 1887, and
later moved to Watertown. His
brother Robert also came over in 1882
and established his home in Southold
