Savannah and Au gusta advanced 1-16 a% of a cent, but closed rather weak. Norfolk was % of a cent bngher. Spot cotton here was un- oJiangpcfT and them were no sales. Liver pool advanced 10 points for* futures and 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.

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. Lauison; Bros. & Co.

By Special Wire to Lyon & James. New York. Nov. 27.—There was a free swing to quotations, the market was not lacking Inactivity or elasticity. There was an advance of 6 points early In the day, mainly owing to a sharp rise In Liv erpool and some local. Southern snd con tinental buying. When this buying sub sided the advance was lost and the mar ket closed easy at a decline foe the day ot 3 to I points on selling by New York,. Southern and European operators. The wire edge seemed to be off the Southern spot market, and future* In New Orleans, though at one time 9 points higher, lost the improvement and Nosed 3 to 4 points lower.

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.

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* come a IW—lbOI. Tho young nmn fH burning up. “Will she never atop! 1 ’ asked 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 ruvian night haunts him still.—Washing ton Star. JAPANESE PAGODAS.

C. II. Vv’lLEY, Ordinary. 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 World. 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 Modern Diogenes. 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: ‘‘I was looking for your tongue."— Thurlngcr Monatsblatt.

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.
