current here. There were quite a num
ber of selling orders at the opening and
prices gave way 2 points, but wtiert At
lanta and a number of other Interior
towns showed smaller receipts than were
expected quit* a good demand to cover
set in and prices regained the early loss
and then advanced 6 to 7 points. The
port receipts, however, were liberal and
there was some reaction toward the close,
so that* the net advance for the day was
only 4 to 5 points. The close was steady.
Liverpool advanced 1% points, but lost
this and closed quiet and steady with
sales of 8,000 bales at unchanged prices.
In Manchester yarns and cloths were dull.
Spots here were 1-16 of a cent higher-
middling, 5%—with sales of 100 bales for
spinning. The quantity of cotton brought
in sight this week is estimated at 460.W0O
boles, against 400,000 in 1891. The Liverpool
stock in store today and afloat was 1,313,-
000, against 1,286,000 last week and 1,493,000
last year. Including 1,161,000 of American
today, against 1,135,000 last week and 1,278,-
000 last year. Fort receipts today, 72,165,
Including 14.639 various, against a total of
75,945 this day last week and 48,243 last
year. Total for the week, 342,147,against
352,151 last week and 296,850 last year. New
Orleans* receipts tomorrow are estimated
at 15,000 to 17,000, against 13,833 last week
and 10.891 last year. Houston received
9,067, against 12,751 last week and 7.828
Vast year, and shipped today 3,388, against
8.095 last week and 3,437 last year. Total
interior receipts for the week, 207,067,
against 262,699 last week and 166,635 last
year. Shipments, 238.373. against 281,906
last week and 179,988 last year. Stocks,
488,015, against 471,171 a week ago and
447,232 last year. The sales ’of futures
here today were 125,700 bales. Wilming
ton declined 1-16 of a cent. Most ot the
Southern spot markets were quiet and
unchanged. New Orleans futures
vanced 5 to 7 points. The spot sales there
were large, reaching 12,000 bales at steady
and unchanged prices. The exports from
tho ports were 34,400. As to the dimin
ished interior receipts, the bears main
tain that farmers are simply holding
back their cotton for better prices. T-he
bulls contend that It means exhaustion
of many points In the Atlantic states. A
constant infusion of bullish news in the
chape of decreased receipts or strong ca
bles will be necessary to prevent a de
cline in prices. Until there is a very sharp
falling off in the crop movement sales on
te rallies should be rennnueratlve.
Stevens St Co.
moderate traders, which, taken In con
nection with the inclination of wheat to
decline, gave to com a decidedly weak
tone. The mild weather was another
source of disappointment to the bull ele
ment, increased arrivals being looked for
from that cause. May com opened from
49!4 to 49%, sold between 49% and 49%a60,
dosing at 4S%-*% of a cent under yes
terday. Cash corn was % of a cent per
bushel lower.
Oats.—Nothing different from the usual
sympathetic market was otlceable In oats
today. They declined with wheat and
corn and rallied BllghUy with them.
Business was light. At the close May oats
fere % of a cent under yesterday.
Cash oats were %a% of a cent lower.
Provisions dropped lower today on the
decline In grain and on cheaper prices
for hogs. There was but little disposi
tion to speculate and business was de
cidedly quiet, A rally came about in
sympathy with the recovery in the other
pits, but yesterday’s close was higher by
10 cents than today's for January pork,
5 centB for January lard and 2% cents
for January ribs.

STEVEN’S* COTTON LETTER.

New York. Dec. 14.—The receipts at in
terior towns caused the advance. The
total for the week fell considerably be-
lew some of the estimates at one time
SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, Dec. 14.—The Sun’s cotton
review will say:
Cotton declined 2 points, but recovered
this and advanced 6 to 7 points, then
reacted and closed steady at a net rise
of 4 to 6 points, with sales of 125,700 bales.
New Orleans declined 1 point on March,
but recovered it and advanced 7 points
and then lost 2 points of this. Spot cot
ton there was steady with sales of 12,000
bales. Liverpool advanced 1% points, but
lost this and closed quiet. Spot sales
there were 8,000 bales at steady and un
changed prices. In Manchester yarns
and cloths were dull. The quantity of
cotton (brought in sight this week is
estimated at 450,000 bales, against 400,000
in the big crop year of 1891. New Or
leans' receipts tomorrow are estimated at
15,000 to 17,000 bales, against 13,838 on the
same day last week and 10,894 last year.
A Liverpool dispatch says: "Unless dis
couraged from your side we shall be apt
to go up.”
Spot quotations at the South as a rule
were unchanged, with trade dull? The
rise here was caused mainly by unexpect
edly small receipts for the week at the
Interior towns. Shorts covered. Liver-
pool was rather better, too, than had been
expected.

LAMSON BROS. GRAIN LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon Sc James.
Chicago, Dec. 14.—Trading today has
not only been of a liquidating character,
but considerable short selling on the lower
cables, excessive receipts in the North
west and falllg off in the milling demand.
The market was barely steady at the
opening, with a slight loss to holders,
and on inadequate buying power gradu
ally declined to 58% cents for May.
Many supporting orders were apparent
at the bottom, and with prospects of
quite liberal clearances prices firmed, but
thefe was nothing tosustain any advance.
The probable shipment of 13,000,000 gold
had a depressing effect.
Corn receipts were seven cars In ex
cess of the estimate, while receipts at
primary point* were SS.Ott bushels. The
receipts are quite indicative of a email
surplus for a light crop. _
eRallxtng sales toward tho close yester
day In the provision market was carried
well over Into the morning session and
with but a poor demand prices suffered
a further loss, though a little better feel
ing developed toward the close. The re
ceipts of hogs were somewhat In excess
of expectations and ruled fairly active
at the outset with 5 cents better prices,
which, however, was lost later. The re
ceipts of hogs for the next week fixe esti
mated it 200.000.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago. Dec. 14.—Disheartened and dls
couraged, the bulls on wheat throw up
the sponge today and allowed the ad
vocates of lower prices to have full con
trol of the market. The news was not
particularly depressing, but tho absence
of speculation was as powerful a detrb
mental Inuenoe as any that could
urged. During the latter half of the
sion, the pressure to sell was less con
spicuous and a moderate rally took place,
holders of daily and weekly "puts” being
the active buyers. May wheat opened
from 58% to 58%, sold between 58% and
58%. closing at 5$%— %of a cent under
yesterday. C&rti wheat sold from % to
% of a cent under yesterday. The feel
ing was week.
Corn.—That some of the big holders of
corn ad quietly unloaded yesterday was
patent to the general observer tod-iy.
Lessened confidence was shown by the

NOT ALLOWED BYLAW
I got a job with a lighthouse keeper.
I’d boon in a lighthouse before. It was no
now thing to me, but after I'd been there
a few hours I wondered what my master
lilrodmofor. It was Uko belngpensloncd
off. There was nothing to do.
But, mark ye, when It camo night, and
tho wind began to moan about the light
house, and tho lamps wero lit, and all out-
sldo was black aa pitch, and all tho sound
wo heard was tho awaHh, swash, swash of
tho waves, my master ralxod some grog
and callod me to sit along with him. That
lookod Bootable, but I can't say lie did.
He sat glowering over Ills glass for
awhile and opening his mouth as If to
speak andshuttlngltagaln. Then said ho:
“What’a your name!"
“Bon Dare," Bald I.
“Would you mind calling yourself
Bracof” ho asked.
“I've no reason to bo ashamed of my
name,” said I.
“Look horo," said he, “I am a gcntlo-
man horn and brod. 1 never camo to
earning my bread before. I'm ashumod of
it. This Is what I mean; It any stran
gers como out horo and ask for William
Braoe, why, you say you oro tho man.
You claim to be Ughthouso keepor. It's
easy. 1 don’t suppose much company will
cnll, but I ohooso not to soo thorn, If they
do. That's what I hired you for."
“Oh!" sold 1.
"You see," said ho, “I got this place
through a rich roan who had lnlluonco.
Thosowho gave It to roo never saw mo. If
1 die soino day, why, hero you oro In tho
placo. If I go off, nnd I may, horo you aro
still until thon. I'll pay you well, nnd
you know your diitlos."
"Well, It’s shamming," said I; "but,
after all, what does any ono caro what my
nnmo Is. And what shall I call you?"
“Cull mo nothing," said ho. “Call me
captain, ns you did wlion I mot you, but
nover spoak of mo to any one.”
Gentleman or no, lio wasn't lazy. Ho
didn’t care how ho worked. Tho lamps
wero as bright as jowcls. There wasn't a
Bpeok ol dirt In tho wbolo tower.
But, let any boat como nigh us, away ho
wont and hid hlmsolf and canto out with
a whlto, scored face and a shaking hand,
At night ho was afraid to go up to tho
lamps alone, and he'd look ovor his shoul
der and turn whlto as wo stood there to
gether.
At last ho took a now turn. Ho sat star
ing nt a corner for awhile. Then ho spoke
to roo In a low voloo:
"Brace, do you bollovo In ghosts!”
"1 haln't considered tho question," I
answered.
"Well," said ho softer than botoro,
“look Into the corner,” and he pointed.
1 looked.
“Don’t you soo anythlngt” h» asked.
“No," said I. "No, enppon."
“Ah,” ho muttered, “vary woll, very
■well! I'm glad you don't."
But that wasn't anything to what hap
pened tho very nozt night.
Wo slopt In two hunks nigh caoh other,
and nnturally, when ho woko up with a
yell, 1 woke too.
Ha was shrloklng and shaking and
wringing his hands.
“Tho woman, tho womonl” ho said.
"She stood horo just now, nil rod with
blood. It dripped down tho whlto ruffles.
It dripped on hor hands. Stop hrrl Stop
horl Sho has gono to call thorn. Stop
horl Stop herl"
"Wheru did sho go?" I naked.
Ho stared at mo with his wldo open
eyes, all tho whites showing, below and
above,
"Sho couldn’t hnvo boon hero, ” sold ho.
“It was a dream."
“Lord lovo you, n nlghtmaro," said I.
Bo wo wont nsloop again, but 1 heard of
tho woman so often niter that that 1 grow
usod to hor.
Tho cappcn, as I called him, got to bo
worso and worao ovory day. 1 wanted to
go ashora and fetch tho doctor, but ho
would not bear to It. Ho ravod If I tried
to lcavo him.
At last thoro camo n hot, hot night In
Juno. It was burning hot all day and a
dead calm at night.
About dark tho oappen wont to sleep,
and 1 wont and sat whoro I could see tho
water nnd the lights nshoro. It was so
■till that I could hear the sailors In a
Spanish ship moorod not faraway singing
in tholr foreign lingo.
And I was sort of quiet and dreamjllke
when something happened that waked me
mighty wldo and sudden. Something was
standing on tho stops below mo—some
thing white. Something camo toward me.
It was a Uttlo slondor figure, with long
hair all about its shoulders. I couldn’t
soo Its face. I don't think I really saw It
plainly at all, but It went past mo softly
while I lookod, and I know It was a wom
an In a whlto ruffled gown, and that she
had gono to the room whero my master
lay.
I shook too hard for a moment to move,
hut aa soou as I could I started up to go to
him. Just then a voice cried:
.“Lighthouse, ahoy!”
I answered,* "Ayo, eye I" and stopped ■
bit. Duty first of all things with a sailor.
A boat lay at tho foot of ths steps, and
four men jumped out of It.
"We want William Braco, keeper of this
lighthouse," said one, a big man In* lin
en overcoat.
"I’m ono that answers to the name,"
says I,
Ho swung a lantern over my head. -
"Search the plaoe, my men," said ho.
There was no use eoylng anything, but
I did try to stop thorn.
“I've got a sick friend aloft," says L
“Don't disturb him. I'm afraid tho wom
an will skeer him anyhow, he's so low."
"What woman?” said he.
“Tho one that came aboard with you,
dr," eald 1.
“No woman camewlth us,” ha enarled.
“Stand Hide. Men, do your duty."
Thoy went up etaln. 1 followed. I law
them walk Into the osppon'i room. X
heard them cry out and stand (till. When
I got to tho door, they stood In a row, look
ing down on the tied. I looked too. Man
nor woman couldn't .frighten the cappen
more. He was dead.
“WhathM ha done!" I asked the officer.
"Killed blewlfe,” Hid ho; “thst'eall.
No doubt she deserved It, but It’s not al
lowed by law when they do."
“God help him!" Hid I.—Boston Globe.

"Tho Mcrot sorvloo of tho French re- *

Hid Oliver Beach, a traveling man of St.
