V . ' . ■ - NEW YORK COTTON LETTER. (Dully by Private Wire to Clark & Co ) New York, Jan. 16.—New York Joes not like this advance/ and of course has an adequate explanation .for it. They have all been short, as‘ they al ways are, and when the market as serted its inherent strength, traders hastened to cover. The South, as usual, lias been tile only Interest that has had any cotton to sell, and they have been wise enough to secure prof. Its on the contracts bought during the weak period last week. Spinners have in some Instances in creased their limits, hut not to today’s prices. On the other hand, the south west linB sold some s,pots on the basis of 11.70 for March, hut we are ad vised that the selling basis has been high enough to satisfy bidders. Nothing makes more surely for higher prices In the spring than a market of comparadve steadiness now, and It Is only a question of time when consumers will he convinced that the economic value of cotton Is not much below prevailing prices. C. D. FREEMAN & CO. Meaning of Surnames. Nearly, all surnames originally bud a meaning. They were descriptive of their owners. In a word, they were nicknames, like “Skinny” or “Shorty” or “Pud.” Peel Is a surname that shows the original Peel to bavo been bald. Graoe means fat, from the French “gras.” Grant, from “grand,” means big. An Ollphant should be a clumsy and unwleldly person. This surname was "elephant 4 ’ originally. The Parkers were keepers of noble men’s parks. The Warners were war- reners, or rabbit tenders. The Barkers prepared bark for tanning. The La- boucherca were butchers. Bell meant handsome. Cameron mennt crook nosed. Curtis meant po lite. And Forster meant a forester, Napier a servant in charge of the table linen, Palmer a pllgrlui, Walnwrigkt a wagon builder, Walter a wall builder, Webster a weaver, Wright a carpenter. —Philadelphia Bulletin. Substitutes For Tobacco. Sailors ou long cruises sometimes exhaust their tobacco. Thence untold misery and many Ingenious efforts to create a tobacco substitute. Tea and coffee make tbe best tobacco substi tutes. They smoko freely In pipe or cigarettes, anti their taste and aroma arc not unpleasant. But they burn the mouth and rack the nerves. Rope yarn —the untwisted parts of rope and oak um—Is smoked by sailors us a last re sort. Bark, peeled from the hoops of salt beef and^pork barrels, Is also smoked when the limit Is reached. These things smoko abominably, and the black fumes that they give forth from the sailors’ mouths are always accompanied by oaths and impreca tions. Yet many a desperate sailor lms smoked them In the hope of ap peasing Ills tobacco hunger. COTTON PICKINGS. Furnished for Daily Herald Readers by Clark & Co. J Liverpool was again firm on the opening at 2 points advance. Early advices from the great English mar ket said "shorts were nervous and spinners anxious.” St. Maurice. St. Maurice, in Switzerland, Is the name of a little station on the railway that leads up the Rhone valley from the lake of Geneva. The place gets Its name ns follows: Mnurice was the offi cer second In command of the Thebaic legion, which, the Emperor Muxlmlan marched over the Alps in A. D. 802 to 'quell a rising in Gaul. At Octodurum (Mnrtigny) the legion, every man of which was a Christian, was ordered to sacrifice to the Roman gods for the success of the expedition. Headed by Maurice, they refused, marched off to Agaunum (St. Maurice) and there were twice decimated to enforce submission. But they still refused, ami finally the remainder were surrounded ami cut down by the rest of the army. Manchester reported better trade and inquiry from China and Brazil. The convention committees ratified the action of the convention, and it is 15 cents or “bust.” There is no chance o'. an increased acreage on the next crop. No labor. It begins to look as if the big bulls will not only stay for the big show, but most of them have tickets for the concert. Automatic Cookfnrc Iloxen. Automatic cooking boxes were In general use among the Hebrews near ly 2,000 years ngo. Tim Greek and Roman writers frequently 'refer to them. In. his edition of “Juvenile,” for example, Friedlandcr cites a roiumen- tr.tor, who refers to “the Jews who a day before the Sabbath put their viands hot Into the cooking boxes, the pots being covered with nRpkins and wrapped about with hay, so that they may have warm food on the Sabbath.” Spots were % higher in Havre, with improved demand. “ This will prove a very cold winter for some Wall street bears. Alwara In Evidence. “1 notice,” observed Tuffold Knutt, “that people don’t pay no taxes on tbe costliest things tbey’s got." “How’s that?” grunted Ruffon Wratz. “Well, fr Instance, if you wua wuth even a million you wouldn't have to pay nothin' on that peach of a nose you’ve got”—Chicago Tribune.
