Green & Co.'s report on cotton futures says:
“It has been a slow, dragging sort of market
all day, with rates off 670 7 points, closing on a
fractional recovery, but with business quite
dull. Liverpool was weak and low to a dfsap
poing extent, creating a desire among the longs
to unload, and in the absence of buying orders
it did not take much pressure to shade values.
An increase in stocks at New York. Philadelphia
and Galveston also had a slightly depressing
influence/’

A CARGO OP PEPPER.
An Every Day Scene on the Docks of
the National Line.
From the New York Evening Sun.
On the National lino dock yesterday thcro
was a mountain of snuff-colored lings just
out of the ship. When the stevedores hauled
them about everybody’s nose was tickled.
“That’s nothing but pepper, all the way
from Singapore via London,” said the su
perintendent.
“How much is there of it?” bo was
asked.
“Not a great, deal —three or four hundred
tons,” was the answer.
A muscular longshoreman nt hand said:
“Sure we tlhrink it. The barkeepers know
we like a dab of it on the head of the
growler.”
.lust then a clerk came along and Itegan
making complaint of the way the men were
tearing the bags with their hooks. He
pointed to a trail of the spits- along the dock
and stiid that his house would make the ship
pay for the loss in weight. The superinten
dent ordered the men to sew up all leaky
bags, and the merchant’s apprentice smiled
in satisfaction. In response to questions he
replied:
“Last December pepper was booming.
Everybody thought there was going to be a
scarcity of it, and they nil wonted to buy
and they did buy. This is tliat same pepper
just coming in. it is worth altout a cent a
pound loss too lay than they paid for it. I
think the most of it cost the buyers some
thing like 10 cents a pound. A good many
of them are stuck, l’epper is apt to weigh
less when it arrives than what you find
charged for in your invoices. Some of it
will leak out of tears in the lings; some of it
will be ‘sampled’ when nobody is looking;
but the great loss in weight is believed to
result front the fact that it, dries out. The
nativ e chaps that grow the berry ship it
down all sorts of little streams in all sorts of
junks, und it catches a good deal of salt
water by the time it is shipped from .Singa
pore. Water doesn’t hurt whole pepper in the
least unless it is kept wet too long anti allowed
to rot, but it adds to its avoirdupois. When
you reflect that sixty millions of tisare shak
ing it three times a day on almost every
thing we eat, is it any wonder we get away
with so much pepper; Much of it I suppose
is gobbled up by those concerns that
make salads anti sauces and pieltlcs and
catsups.”
Beans Without Pickles.
From the lioeton Journal
An artist in this city, who lias for years
been considered one of the best portrait
artiste in Boston, was a few years ago some
what poorer than at present. He was ac
customed to take his lunch at the little eat
ing house situated at that time in the lower
part of the old Scolluy building. Beans
were then sold at 10c. fter plate. The
artist called for “beans.” They were
brought to him, but before the waiter left
he oliserved that there were no pickles on
the table. In his gruff voice he called;
“Waiter! Where are your pickles? For
heaven's sake, what are beans without
pickles?” “Niue cents, sir,” replied the
waiter.
