E YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Dec. l6 up -
The cotton futures market closed
IS cents to $500 a bale higher than
the previous close after a board
trading session Monday.
Leading spot firms were heavy
buyers. Purchases were believed to
have been made for both domestic
and Foreign accounts. One leading
firm brought an estimated IS, 900
bales OF March and May, 1897,
cotton.
The strong statistical position OF
cotton was held by traders to be
one OF the principle reasons for
the markets sharp advance during
the past two sessions. Str ength in
cotton futures also was due partly
to limited offerings and consider
able New Orleans and commission
house buying in the distat deliver
les.
Earlier in the day gains of almost
$4.OO a bale were reached but a
good part Of the advance was SUBJ
sequently lost on profit taking and
hedging.
Futures closed IS cents 50 a bale
higher than the previous. close.

Personal Piffle
There are a few things Of more
common occurrence than shaking
hands yet very little has ever been
speculated upon the subject. I con-
fess, when I consider to what uninn-
portant concerns the attention Of
writer's and readers has been di-
rected, I am surprised that no one
has ever found time to handle
so important matter. If you will
recall no attempt has been made
to give the public a rational view
of the doctrine of shaking hands.
Well this has troubled me, no end
so we did bit of investigating.
In the first place I have been I'M
able to find in ancient writer's any
distinct mention of Misunderstanding
AS a rule, in those days, they fol-
lowed the heartier practice of

Juggling and embracing. Incidental
Y, this practice has not wholly dis
.ppeared among grown persons in
Europe.
Unquestlonably it has the advant-
age on the score of cordially. AS
far as I can find out when the
ancients trusted the business of
salutation to the hands alone, they
joined but did not shake them. May
be the practice grew up in the age
of chivalry, when the cumbersome
iron mail, in which the knights
were cased, prevented their en-
bracing. But there is nothing his
tory reports which enables us to
trace the progress of the art of
Misunderstanding in which it now exists
among us. By the v:ay-would any
of the readers have any data on
this hand shaking business?
