COTTON PRICES
SINK SHARPLY

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 U.N.S0
At the reopening today, cotton
prices sank sharply. The Govern
ment estimate placed the crop out.
put at 12,400,000 bales. This un-
usually high figure blotted out all
bullish factors.
The trade and some Wall Street
houses were principal buyers of
the staple, while the South and
spot houses sold. Before the call,
cotton futures maintained steady
levels on the feeling that the in
creased crop had been entirely dis
counted recently. However. fol-
lowing the announcement of the
surprisingly high figure, all pre-
election gains were wiped out. The
current figure represents a gain
Of 791, 900 bales over the October
8 estimate, as against 1858 900
bales in 1885.
Losses ranged from II to 20
points as the market was deluged
with selling orders.

and May 11.69 off 18.

Viewed broadly, business has less
reason for fear in 1887 as regards
legislation than it has had in the
past several years, concludes the
Standard Statistics Company, Of
New York, in survey of business
trends in the light of the election.
The fact that business has made
such tremendous strides over re-
cent years, in the face of a multi
tude Of political uncertainties, at
tests the strength Of the recovery
movement, suggesting that cyclical
forces are too potent to be checked
by temporary political influences,
the survey said, adding:
"The overwhelming victory of
President Roosevelt and the
maintenance of Democratic con-
troll of both houses Of Congress
suggest that the Administration
will effect a broad extension of
the major policies and theories
to which it has committed itself
in the past several years. While
there may be minor alterations
in the methods and ObjectiveS
of the Administration during the
next several years, the general
character of its undertakings is
unlikely to undergo any funda-
mental change, so far as can
now be judged. Business, there
fore, can look for a certain
amount of further restrictive and
unSettling legislative proposals,
particularly in the direction of
social and labor reforms.
"There are several important
points to consider in this con-
nectiOn, however. In the first
place, the bulk of the legislation
enacted in the past four years
which has been most criticized
was passed when the country
was in the depths of depreS-
sion, at which time opposition

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Few things could be more pleasant
than 9 large dish of homemade ice
cream for Sunday dinner, or any week
night, for that matter, but the labor
involved in grinding the ice cream
freezer tends to detract from the COM
plete enjoyment of the dessert.
At least it used to spoil things when
all that grinding had to be done, but
these days you can have delicious
homemade ice cream with less effort
than it takes to run up to the corner
drug store for the manufactured kind.
There are little machines available
now that fit in the ice cube tray
holder of electric refrigerators, and by
simply mixing the necessary in
gradients, placing them in the re-
ceptacle and putting the whole thing
in the box, your ice cream is made
without lifting finger or working
up one drop of perspiration.
The little freezer that does all these
wonderful things has small, motor
driven dasher arrangement which is
plugged into an adjacent lamp socket.
The dasher slowly beats on the ice
cream ingredients as it is being frozen,
and guarantees smooth, professional
tasting product that only could be
obtained in the old days by large
quantities of personal exercise.
OF course, if you sit in an Office all
week and want the exercise, this ma

fill that bill, too. It Is an ice cream
maker that utilizes some Of the les
sons learned in building houses with
insulated walls, having a double
walled container with a dead-air in
sulating space between. The top Of
the machine also Is arranged SO that
it covers the entire top part Of the
freezing space with an insulated hood.
This hood, by the way, is patented
feature and does much to make the
freezing process simple one. BY in
sulating the freezer this way 1t will
make ice cream just that much
quicker, and use great deal less ice.
The grinding time also is cut down
so that you can get your Sunday
morning workout and still not be
bored with the whole thing before
you have finished.
A clever idea that Is being built
into one of the current electric refrig-
orators Is the sliding drawer in the
vegetables. The drawer is not kept
cool by the ice box, but Is adequately
ventilated so things will be kept fresh
and edible.
This simple little feature will save
many steps which would otherwise
have been necessary between the
working part of the kitchen and the
store room. Again it makes us wonder
why it hadn't been thought Of long
before.
Ice boxes are getting to be almost
as elaborate as automobiles, anyway.

around these various mechanisnls are
almost attractive enough to enable
them to be placed in the living room.

was resumed.
Last year $4,000 houses were con-
structed, of which 275,000 were
financed without any contribution

The houses there are what is
termed the cottage type, usually two
stories and built in groups. In some
cottages provisions are made for oc-
cupancy by two families.
1t Is the belief of building interests
here that one reason for this tre-
mendous activity in England has been
the low cost Of housing as compared
with the United States. An index
OF building costs in 1885 was 1876 as

Varnish Used in 18th Century.

Varnish, practically as it is known
today-except that no thinning agent
was employed-was made in the elev-

applied hot and smeared on with the
fingers. There were, of course, no
brushes available in those days.
