The spot markets were generaKy un.
changed and quiet. Savannah and Au

closed rather weak. Norfolk was % of a

l-16d on the spot with sales of 10,000 Mies.
Manchester was firmer, but less active.
New Orleans sold 6,600 bales spot and
Memphis 3,609. We think that the chances
favor a further reaction from the recent
decided advance. The long cotton, or the
bulk of It, is out of the hands of rtrong
people and la nowheid largel y by outsid
ers, less able in many coses to protect
the cotton. The rtefc at so early a .stage
of the seaoon has been, in our judgment,
unwarrantably great, and nothing would
be more natural than for a heavy setting
movement on the part of the weaker
long Interest, which would be apt to carry
prices to perhaps a considerably lower
point. Stevens & Co.

LAMSON BROS. GRAIN 'LETTER.
By Spec|al Wire to Lyon & James.
Chicago, Nov. 27.—The boom In wheat
the latter part of the session yesterday
appears to have exhausted Itself over
night, us the market opened this morn
ing tome at a loss of %a% of a cent. The
heavy receipts In tlhe Northwest—903 cars
—was the feature, and the locals, most
of them having gone home long yester
day, started to reaping and the market
became very heavy, at times showing
considerable weakness. Foreign and con
tinental advices indicated firmer markets
abroad, but had little or no effect here
other than possibly checking a decline
which was Imminent to heavy selling by
professionals. Of the 675,000 bushels, to
days arrivals at primary points, 478,000
bushels are at Minneapolis and Duluth.
Shipments from Baltic and sundry ports
aggregate for the week 4,160,000 bushels,
showing a falling off for the past two
weeks o 960,000 bushels. The statement
was not Interpreted as bullish, however,
the trade believing Russia would be as
large a shipper as ever were It not for
the enhancement of freights. There was
a slight rally toward noon, which was
only temporary, however, the close being
heavy with ho encouragement whatever
to holders.
Corn receipts continue tho one factor,
and this coupled with weakness In cash
had a very depressing effect on the mar
ket, which opened at a slight decline from
yesterday’s final quotations. Selling was
general, but more of tho nature of even
ing up for thie holidays and end of the
month.
Provisions have ruled firm and higher,
though the strength has been principally
in the distant deliveries. Receipts of hogs
at tho yards—J7,000-are 6,000 under ex
pectations, and as a consequence have
ruled firmer at an advance of 5 tents.
There was no special feature to future
transactions, tho business being confined
to packers principally.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Nov. 27.—Yesterday's buyers
of wheat Indulged In tho pleasant occu
pation of realising profits today, but tho
prices got away from them before the
close, although early In the day the de
cline met with stubborn resistance. The
Liverpool cables were firm and higher
and tho bulls were disposed at tho start
to press tho advantage they had gained
yesterday, but thb futility of such courso
made ltsolf apparent In a very few min
utes. Until noon fluctuations were irreg
ular. a firm undertone making itself felt,
but alter the publication of Bradstroet's
report, Which treated only of American
stocks, giving an Increase east and west
of the Rocky mountains of 2,207,000 bush
els, tho direction was clearly defined, the
market having absolutely no support.
Closing continental cables wore all high
er. May wheat opened from ,60% to 50%,
declined lo 50%. closing at 69%a%-% of a
cent under yesterday. Cash wheat was
Irregular. The olose was nominally
woakor with tho futures.
Today’s trado in corn was Mmply a
repetition of what has taken place any
day for a week past. Tho receipts loom
ed up and tho price fell down. The
weakness of the tone of wheat may have
had a part In forming the tone, but tihore
was little or no Inclination to follow Ihnt
market on the rallies. May corn opened
from 48% to 48%. sold between 48%a% and
48%. closing at 48%a%—lal% cents lower
than yesterday. Cash com was % of a
cent tower.
Oats were quiet and extremely narrow
In their action. The weakness of the sur
rounding markets were reflected by o
hardening or softening ot the tone, but
fluctuations held within % of a cent limit.
May closed % of a cent lower than yes
terday. Cash oats were steady.
Provisions.—Strength. In product camo
forward from the hog market ot the
yards at tho start and wheat communi
cated weakness later ■ In the day. Tho
trade was not noticeably important and
prices were affected easily. Tho close
was 17% cents under yesterday for Jan
uary jswk. W cents tower for January
lard and 10 cents lower for January rib*

CENTRA LIJASEBALL LEAGUE.

Kot Knowing What Etlquctto Demanded,
lie Mad a Bard Time.
This one Is told by n navy officer on
himself: Ouo of our handaomo ships, with
her imndsomo officers, was cruising In
Peruvian waters, and whllo In port tho
grand ball in honor of thowlfo'of tho
president of the republlo was given. Tho
young officer was there In full uniform,
which is warm onough at any time, but
which, In n ballroom, after n number of
whirls In n giddy waltz, such ns tho Span
ish descendants in Peru put up, Is any
thing hut an ico cooler. Our young boro
Invited a charming Peruvian to waltz.
Bbo eontontad, mid away they went
After sovcral turns about tho room he
begon to wish tho young lady would sug*
gest that they promenade, ns most of tho
othor couples did from tlmo to tlmo, but
not she. On they went, spinning and
prancing. Tho heavy uniform hud bo*

tho young officer under his hruuth. Early
In tho game ho had exhausted tho few
Spanish phrases ho know. Ho did not dare
stop ufctll sho did, ns suoli a breach of ot!-
quette might mean that her brother would
bo likely to put a stiletto between, his ribs
for insulting bis sister by stopping In a
waltz boforo sho did.
Tho Peruvian vvnlta lasts 80 minutes.
That is a long tlmo lu a tight fitting uni
form in a tropical climate. Our ensign
began to wabblo, but ho kept his feet, and
that girl novor scorned to weary. When
tho 20 minutes had expired, tho inusla
ceased. Othor couples hod waltzed and
stopped and waltzed again. Somo of his
brother officers hud waltzed with half a
dozen beautiful senorlfcas, and they were
wondering why ho was so devoted to the
particular one bo was still hugging and
whirling when tho music stopped. Ho led
her to n scat, and for lilmsulf sought tho
open air and unbuttoned his coat.
Ho was In a pitiable plight. Ho did not
outer tho ballroom again for two hours,
and wlion ho did was still too weak to
danoo or enjoy tho festivities. Tho young
lady ho had waltzed with nvoidod him.
Othor ladies, who had scon tho long dls-
tnneo record, seemed plcnsod that ho did
not ask them to dance when presented.
Later in tho evening ho learned.that It
was tho Peruvian oustom for tho gentle
man to suggest that they should censo
waltzing and proinonndo or rotiro from
tho floor. It would hnvo boon Immodest
for his partner to suggest stopping. Tho
young officer says tho memory of tlmt Pe

People Who Kat Clay and Thrive on th<
Ropalitlve Pood.
The natives of nearly all tropical conn
trios, and especially those otho sea Is
lands, exhibit many vagaries of taste in
the matter of food, in many cases showing
an almost Irresistible* desire to fill thol)
stomachs with the various kinds of earth,
generally clays. On first thought on<
would Imagine that this clay eating habli
had been formed through a deslro to gel
alkaline substances into the stomach li
order to neutralize the adds of that organ,
but investigations provo tho contrary, thi
clays which such people most crave belr.|
unctuous and wholly devoid of saline olo
ments.
Humboldt says that tho female pottorj
workers on tho Madalena river, in Soutk
America, put large lumps of clay Int4
their mouths qulto frequently whllo shop
lng their earthenware vessels, and that
tho olay eating Instinct Is so strong in tin
natives of that region that infants of froii
1J4 to 8 years of ago are tied In the huti
to provent them from overloading the!)
stomachs with tho unwholesome diet. Or
tho Orinoco, too, our groat travel«r passed
several days with a olay eating tribe of In
dlans onllod tho Otoinocs. He thus do
scribes tho peculiar habit us noted In that
queer people:
“The earth which the Otomaes oat la a
soft, yellowish white potter's clay, with i
small quantity of oxldo of iron as a con
stltuont part.
“They seek for it on the banks of th«
Orinoco and Meta river* oudsolect it will
groat earn, not considering all olay a equal
ly agreeable to eat. A very intelligent
monk assured us that ono of them would
eat from three-quarters of a pound to
pounds of this food in a slnglo day. Ii
you Inqulro of an Otoroao Indian eoncorn
lug his winter's provisions, lie will point
to a heap of olay balls stored away in lili
hut."
As noted In tho opening, wo find thft
queer earth eating prnotloo diffused
throughout tho torrid zone and occasion
ally hoar of tho practioo In Sweden, Nor
way, Finland and In Now Caledonia ai
well as in tho southorn states of our ows
country. Why tho human system should
oravo such odd food could probably bo sci
entifically explained, ilowovor, It is nol
tho purpose of this “noto" to scok rot non
reasons for tho existence of tho habit, but
■imply to stato that tho practice, thougk
admittedly n curious ono, is well known
In tho various quarters of the globe.—St*
Louis Republic.
Earthqnako Proof, and Therefore Able to
Stand the Severest Shock.
Tho absence of buildings of anyslzo and
antiquity In Japan is ascribed tothodj-
struotion of thorn by tho froquont earth
quakes whloh ocour. The only structures
which seom to bo oarthqualco proof aro tho
pagodas, whloh aro erected boforo tho tem
ples. There aro many pagodas which aro
700 or 800 years old and as solid as when
first built. Thoro Is a reason for this, and
lb lies in their construction. A pagoda Is
practically a framework of heavy timbers,
which starts from a wide baso and Is in It
self a substantial structure, but It is ren
dered still moro stable by a peculiar do-
vlco. Inside tho framowork and suspend
ed from tho npox la a long, heavy balk of
timber 8 feet thick or moro. This hangs
from ono end, and to tho othor end aro
bolted, at caoh of tho four sides, four moro
heavy timbers, and If tho pogoda bo very
lofty still moro timbers uro added on to
tbeso. Tho wliolo forms an onormous pen
dulum which readies to within six inches
of tho ground. When tho shook of an
enrthquuko rocks tho pagoda, tho pondu-
lum swings In unison and kcops tho center
of gravity always ab the base of tho framo
work. Consequently tho equilibrium of
tho pagoda is novor disturbed, and this Is
tho explanation of tho great ago of ninny
of thorn, when from their bright ono
would supposo thorn to bo peculiarly bus-
ceptlblo to tho effoct of on oarthquako.
Hitherto tho longstioks of timber In
tho cantor of tho pagoda lmvo boon sup
posed to bo for tho purposo of supporting
tho framowork. It was not until tho, u-
oont earthquake brought thorn Into prom-
inonco that their purposo booamo generally
known among Europeans.—Now York

Breakfast.
Tho Watchman says: It may bo almost
said ns goes breakfast so goes tho dny.
Tho nppoaranco of tho broakfast tablo has
powor for good or 111 over tho appetite. It
Is not so much tho kind of food placed bo
foro ono as it is tho way In whloh It is
served that inakos It Inviting or uninvit
ing. Bo, too, It makes a vast deal of differ-
onco whothcr ono sits down to breakfast
in a thankful, pleasant frame of mind or
In a moody and fuult finding spirit.
Breakfast should bo oaton amid smiles
and cheery conversation. Bright looks
and morry words aro most oxcollont appe-
tlzora and digesters, bettor tonics than
any apothecary oan rccommond. Nor, if
it can bo liolpcd, Is ono’s breakfast to bo
eaten hurrlodly. It Is much wiser to
abrldgo thp morning nap thnn to abridgo
tho morning meal. If you want to bo a
pessimist and win tho reputation of a
chronio growlor, you aro on tho right road
to suocess. A gonorous half hour devoted
to breakfast Is tlmo woll spent. Eat lot-
surely and not too heartily, and you will
bo strongor and happlor for it all tho day.
Tho art of breakfasting rightly Is ono of
tho distinguishing marks ot higher civili
zation.

A roan had a quarrel with his wife
which led to a broach of tho peaco. Tho
woman took her rovonge by refusing to
speak to him for several days. Tho hus
band, who was good natured onough when
not oxclted, could not boar this protracted
fsllcnco any longer and thought of a way
to brpak tho spell. Ono afternoon be light
ed a candle, stuck it In a lantern, and
whllo Ids wlfo was sitting in tho room
busy sowing bo began to look under the
tablo, tho chairs, etc., as though ho had
lost somothlng. At this tho wlfo could
net help laughing, and she asked him:
“What aro you looking tort"
Delighted at having gained his point,
ho cheerfully replied:

Evolution of Latter*.
Mr. Balfour presents a theory for the
formation of letters which Is n* follows:
Buppose a nmn of today, fairly artistic,
were to draw a snail crawling on a branch.
The artistic man has ten friends. Ho gives
his sketch to No. 1, who copies the knall
on the branch, and then No. 1 gives his
own sketch to No. V. Thon No. 2 gives
his to No. S, and so on until tho No. 10
concludes the circle. Nino of thorn have
not seen tho original. What kind of a
picture would be turned out at the end ol
tho scries? Something probably with but
tho vaguest resemblance to tho snail.
Primitive man may have mado a llfeliko
sketch of something, which, passing to a
second generation, boro no semblanco to
/bo original. Then a scrath or a scrawl
may haw meant a horse or a wolf. Thus
may have come hieroglyphs, and later on
fixed letters.—New York Times.
