Liverpool opened the hall by "call ing” 3 down, but as soon as the music started she "sidestepped" buying or ders until 2 more down wa3 recorded. On our opening the March “raiders” refused to buy until that weak option touched 10.40, a perpendicular drop of 10 point.". Ellison repeated his assertion that consumption this year would reach 12,000,000 bales. The best posted men in the trade say the decline Is unwarranted.

' I (By 'Wire to Clark & Co.) New York, Feb. 20.—It 1b difficult to make our friends apprehend tbe commercial aspect of the cotton situa tion. I realize that economic forces are slow in asserting themselves, but a student of them must patiently await their development. Of course It Is needless to contest a mistaken mar ket tendency and now while the price is Inclined lower It should be regard ed as but offering the better oppor tunity for buying. As an evidence of the expansion of the textile Industry of the world we have just received the report of the German government as to the number of active spindles. There are now in operation 9,130,000, whereas until this official report the estimate has been, from the best •sources, only 8,822,000. In this coun try the production of goods is limited by the looms and If It were possible to operate 30 per cent, more the goods would find 'a ready market. Our Man chester advices are’ that Lancashire’s product Is well sold ahead, but the re markable feature of the demand is that being so sold that the demand for China should center In America, not- witlistanchng the boycott of American fabrics. C. D. FREEMAN & CO. The market has many friends who are waiting to buy July at 10.60. Weather was generally fair over the belt Manchester was reported as having Bold heavily to China for delivery all during the next crop. The market was as tame as “Wil lie's goat” after the first rush to sell. LOST—Plush lap robe, black one side, figures dog and horse on other. Suit able reward. L. Altheimer.

The Blon-cru of Thcben Were Experts Mirny Centuries Ago, The filassblowers of ancient Thebes are known to have been as proficient in that particular art as jls the most scientific craftsman of the same trade of the present day after a lapse of forty centuries of so called ' progress, They are well acquainted with the art of staining glass and are known to have produced that commodity in great profusion and perfection. Ros- selini gives an illustration of a piece of rtained glass known to be 4.000 years old, both in tint and design. In this case the color Is struck through the vitrified structure, and he mentions de signs struck entirely in pieces from a half inch to three-quarters of an inch thick, the color being perfectly incor porated with the structure of the piece and exactly the same on both the ob verse and reverse sides. The priests of Ptah at Memphis were adepts in the glassmaker’s art. and not ouly did they have factories for-ihanu* facturing the common crystal variety, but they had learned the vitrifying of the different colors and the imitation of precious stones to perfection. Their imitations of the amethyst and of the various other colored gems were true to nature that even now, after they have lain in the desert sands from 2,000 to 4,000 years, it takes an expert to distinguish the genuine article from the spurious. It has been shown that, besides being experts in glassmaking and glass coloring, they, used the dia mond in cutting and engraving glass, In the British museum there is a beau tiful piece of stained glafes, with an engraved emblazonment of the mon arch Thothines III., who lived 3,400 years ago. Don’t forget the dancing school an soiree at the Elks’ Home tonight. COTTON PICKINGS. Bull news was as scarce as gamb ling devices at a church fair. Liverpool closed quiet, 6 down for the day. Port receipts were 28,000 against 3,000 last year. New Orleans, Galveston and Hous ton estimates for tomorrow were about the same as last year. It looks like an all-year market again. THE WEATHER.

If it were possible for a man to con struct a globe 800 feet in height—much less than twice th£ height of the Wash ington monument—and to place upon any portion of its surface an atom one four thousand thre^ hundred and eight ieth of an inch in diameter an4 one one hundred and twentieth of an inch in height, it would correctly denote the proportions man bears to the gigantic globe upon which he stands.

Five years ago I painted Miss Sullivan’s house on Mc Donough street with Davis’ Pure light green. At the present time the pamt is as good and sound as the day on which I used it.
