COTTON TAKES A RISE. - SPOTS IX AVtil STA WEVT ip 1-83 1-4 MONDAY. SEW YORK KlTtHKS SCORE AX AD VAXCB OF SIXTEEN POINTS. - The Financial Chronicle Reviews the Movement Ip To Jnn, 1. The present cotton year has been one o, , the . most remarkable In the history of the trade. In the beginning of the season the cry was one of short crop, but the movement was unprecedentedly heavy , for „ a -hort . crop ,, > ear and th- port re ceipts grew alarmingly to the buls, w-hlle the price went most steadily down. The South persisted in its short crop view's, but Neill and others sent out estimates of 7,750,000, Shepperson’s, Brad street’s and other authorities of 6,800,000 and 6,600,000, and the move¬ ment seemed for a w r hile to confirm the big crop views. But never before was there such a season for the gath erlng and marketing-of the crop. Times wpt* hard, and the farmers could not hold on. They needed monej r , and cot ton was a money crop. The foreign spinners have bought liberally but the American spinners have not been conspicuous in the market. W'ithin the past week, there ^ has been a falling off in the movement, and re ports from interior towns give a mark ed decrease in stock on hand below last year. As a result the market has been advancing the last few days, and yesterday there was a marked rise In spots at Southern markets and in New York futures ™» *-8^1-4. In New Vork futures scored ar. advance of sixteen points. THE DOCTOR AS A PREVENTIVE. He AVIII be Mo- Valliable I11 That Capacity Thun «h u Cure.

Row to “Drneon” Apple** nt Both Kntio of the MnrUet Barrels. “Apples are apples this year,” r n „ marked Uncle Dave, as the four old timers again met to crack chesnuts. ”Yes, boys, dear is the word.

It was a stiff price, Haw but do they you were know good, that. apples...... queried t )ld Boh. -Why, I had the mail open the - , barrel, , and could ’ see for * myself. “Still, the barrel, may have been dea coned,’* remarked Old Bob. “‘Deaconed,’” repeated Uncle Dave; “what doi‘s that mean?” “I’ll toll you,” said Old Bob- “In pre¬ paring and putting up apples for mar¬ ket, the practice of ‘deaconing’ as it is called, is very extensively followed, and and it means the topping off of a barrel of the fruit with the best and largest specimens. It is said the term deacon ing* originated in the fact that some one holding the office of deacon in some ehundi somewhere in New England had distinguished himself by adopting this . . m puttm * " P hw a|,pl, ' S fOT ,,,ar k,,t - “At first the practice was to ‘deacon’ the apples at one end of the barrel only ■ but an incident led to an improvement. A dealer in a Maine Own, who under stood the trick, at one time sold a bar lel of apples to a customer and recoin mended them a« the ehoieest grown.

TflLMflGE’S SERMON Brooklyn, Jaa 7.-I4 seemed appro priate that Dr. Talmage should preach this sermon after his personal contri bution of 3,000 pounds of meat and 2,000 loaves of bread to the poor who gathered shivering in the cold around the bakery and meat store of Brooklyn, where the food was distributed without tickets and no recommendation re 'Iuired except hunger. The text was Matthew xxvt, 11. "Ye have the poor always with you.” who said that? The Christ who never owned anything during his earth | v His cradle and his grave were borrowed. Every fig he ate was from some one else's tree. Every drop of water he drank was from some one else’s well. To pay his personal tax. which was very small, only 31 1-4 cents, h<? bad to perform a miracle and make t - ]Sh [>ay it All the heights and depths and Ieng . ths an d breadths of poverty Christ measured in his earthly exper ience, and when he comes to speak of destitution he always speaks sympa ‘ t ^‘ now, with you.” • For 6,000 years the bread question) has been the active and absorbing question, Witness the people crowding up to Jos eph’s storehouse in Egypt. Witness the famine in Samaria and Jerusalem Witness the 7,000 hungry people for whom Christ multiplied the loaves, Witness the uncounted millions of peo pie now living, who, I believe, have never yet had one full meal of health ful <• i and "a nutritious food in all *u the 0 , r lives. Think of the 354 great famines in England. Think of the 25.000 people untder the hoof of hunger year before j last in Russia. The failure of the Nile to overflow for seven years in the eleventh century left those regions depopulated. Plague of i insects asiwu. in England. Plague of rats in Essex. Plague of locusts in China Plague of grasshoppers in America. Devestation wrought by drought, by deluge, by frost, by war, by hurricane, by earthquake, by comets flying too near the earth, by change in the mam agement of national finances, by bale ful causes innumerable.
