STEVENS* COTTON LETTER.
New York, Dec. 20.—It was a sort of a
Christmas market There was quite a lit
tle evening up for the holidays now near.
Early In the day there was an advance of
\ points, • but this was loot after the
lemand to cover fell off, and prices
popped 4 to 5 points. The close was
try steady; sales, 87,900. The Southern
>ot markets were generally quiet and
^changed, but New Orleans was weak;
lies, 6,000. Quotations on spot here
>re unchanged; trifling sales. Exports,
<W. Augusta received 2,495 vs. 1/(02
It year, and St. Louis 1,500 vs. 1,606.
Verpool declined 1 point and closed
dl; sales, 12,000. In Manchester yams
We in moderate demand; cloths quiet.
' Nv Orleans advanced 2, but lost this
ai declined 4 to 5 points. Receipts
the tomorrow are estimated at 14.000 to
153 vs. 15.889 last week and 9,639 last
yev Bombay receipts for the week
we 23,000 vs. 31.000. Bombay shipments
sin January 1, are 44.000 to Great Brit
ain^. 47,000 last year and 761,000 to con-
tine. vs. 800.000 In 1893. Receipts today,
46,0Cys. 47,182 last week and 27/«3 last

2©/ laatNy^k Memphis received 4.468
vs-lftS labt'-.S'Cfk . and Iwt year.
Houston received 9.428 vs. 6,393. We look
for quite moderate fluctuations during
the holiday season, but the marketing of
tbfl crop, it Is well to remember. Is still
enormous, and until there is a change tor
tho better in this respect th^inevltable
drift of prices must be downward.

LAMSON BROS. GRAIN LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon & James.
Chicago, Dec.. 20.—The good feeling in
wheat continues, regardless of the nar
row range to which prices are confined,
owing to the lack of speculation. The
foreign situation displayed sonu-what a
better tone and with liberal clearances of
about 400,000 bushels of wheat and flour
for the ports, the greater portlo of the
trade was on buying sidf*. News In gen
eral had a bullish tone, white the cash de
mand is becoming quite a factor. Receipts
in the northwest continue to overrun
those of last year, today bringing in
115 cars in excess, while the flour output
for the week is the smallest for any
corresponding period the past two or
three years, though this can bo but re
garded as a temporary factor, It being
but a question of time when the mills
will resumo their old-time opebattons.
Primary receipts show a dropping off of
100,000 bushels.
Com was fairly active, though transac
tions were of a decidedly limited scale.
Receipts wore favorable to the trade
early, but with promise of 300 cars for
tomorrow, there was considerable for
sale tho latte part of the session. /There
was a moderate trade in the cash article.
Cable advices were rather Indifferent,
while the sentiment of local traders
mixed.
Provisions were some better. Holders
had 5 to 10 cents advance to their credit
the early part of the session. Realizing
later, .and with inadequate absorbing
power, tho market eased off.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Dec. 20.—Three-eights of a cent
was the, widest range within which wheat
prices wtfi confined today, 'l’he. scalpers
managed to win and lose an eight several
times during he session, but It was poor
picking for the privilege holders. The
tone was very Irregular, but as thpre was
vey little outside trade, the advances and
declines were unimportant. New Y’ork
sola somewhat near 'the close. May
wheat opened from 5S%a% to 58%; sola ue-
tween SS^aBS^i; closing at 5S%a%—%a%
cent under yesterday. Trade In the cash
lots of Ihe market were quiet, prices firm
and about % cent per bushel higher.
Corn,was lower today, although tho
weather predictions were adverso to tho
movement. The trade was mainly of a
local character and was even light at
that. May corn opened from 49% to 49%;
sold between 49% and 48%; closing at
49. CaBh corn was weak at about yester
day's prices.
Oats changed but little, the business be
ing dull and without feature. Sympathy
with wheat and com caused a weakening
in tho tone, but prices varied -only to a
small extent. May com closed at 32a%,
a shade under yesterday. Cash oats were
unchanged to % cent per bushel lower,
an easy ; feeling being manifested.
Provisions— 1 To an advance in hogs at
the stock yards, product -was indebted for
a firm and higher opening. The market
dragged during, the balance of the ses
sion, receding late in the day on offer-
ins by a prominent local professional.
The close was 2% cents higher than yes
terday for January pork and ribs, and
a slight fraction higher for lard than
yesteday.

within a few days, and the old drake re

sf; old soldiers;
One Aug. 15, when the libations hod
been copious and the old fellows in the In-
validos bad grown moro talkative than
usual, Gaulllao began to talk about the
fact that “tho Littlo Corporal” had spoken
to him, a mere soldier. He said ho would
never forgot it.
Indeed! Yon have never told us about
that,” replied Bornardln. “When did ho
speak to you?”
‘When? Ob, that’s my affalrl”
'Well, but what did bo say to you?”
Whnt did he say to roe? That’s also
my affair.”
Yes, blit”—
Well, ho was passing along in front of
tho regiment, and when ho came opposite
to mo he stopped and said”—
“Well, whnt did he say? You suroly
don’t hesitate to repeat It?”
*No, no. I don't hesitate. He said to
me—er—that Hooked liko ad d fool!”
replied Gauillao, with an offort.
Bcrnnrdin burst Into a noisy laugh, and
In a teasing manner said:
“Perhaps he was right, but where the
devil did ho say that to you?”
The eve of the battlo of Lutzen, when
bo was reviewing tho reglmentl”
*Cre nom, you don't look llkoad——d
fool! You are ono!' It was not to you bo
aaid that. It was to mol”
“To you, to you, Bernardln?”
“Yes, yes, to im\ anti I’ll prove it. Wo
wero elbow to elbow. Ho stopped in front
of us. Tho colonel drow a notebook from
his pocket, put hla sword under his arm
and said:
“ ‘Ho is very bravo.' To whioh tho em
peror replied:
“ ‘That is not sufficient,’ and added,
Ho must also have the appearance of a
fool, ’ and as ho spoko It was mo ho lookod
at—you, mol"
Bofnardln!” cried Gaulllao In a sol
emn and threatening manner, “you are
telling mo n lie. You are trying to stool
from my heart ono ot its dearest memories.
You ore n bad fellow nnd a”—
Ah, you lmvo got tho swolled head at
my expense! I will not suitor It.”
“Nor will 11”
“What noxt, thon?”
“Halil I am angry with everything, and
especially with you, who are jealous of
what tho emperor said to mo.”
“You are nothing more than n boast,
an arch boast aud an old humbugl” cried
Bernardln in a state of exasperation and
ready to throw a hottlo atGauillao'shead.
Eh, bionf I—I shall”—
There’s no need to complete your sen
tence! Such Insults aro washed out only
With blood. You will hear from me to
morrow.”
And Bornardln wont out proudly with
his bond in thenir and his legs Armor than
tlioy wore nt tho beginning of tho dispute.
Noxt day they met again In tho Hois do
Clnmart. Bernardln brought with him
two swords, freshly sharpened nnd wrap
ped up in a piece of cloth. Ho handed
them to the soconds nnd quietly took off
his cloak, avoiding his adversary’s eyes
and without saying n word.
Ono of tho seconds, a decorated Invalid©,
who hail served with tho two champions,
and who was known as Big David, took
tho two sabers, stuck them In tho ground
and said:
“This Is not all. I want to know before
wo go any further why you two aro going
to fight. If you don't toll me, by gad, I'll
tako my leave!”
Gnulllno nnd Bornardln seemed a little
dlsconcertod by this slmplo question.
They exchanged glances and replied to
gether:
“That Is our affair alone.”
“Not at all, not nt all,” replied Big Da
vld, with a vory pronounced Alfiation ac
cent. “It is also tho affair of tho seconds.
Wo cannot allow old comrades to light un
ion they liavo a good reason.”
“Eh, bion,” said Gaulllao. ‘‘Bornardln
has insulted mo!”
“It Is not true. It Is Gaulllao who In-
suited mo, and who”—
“But why? Whnt about?”
Thoy realized so keenly the humor of
their position, thoso old soldiers, that nei
ther of them answered tho quostlon.
“You will not oxplain! Thon I shall ot
onco go homo,” declared Big David.
“Liston a moment, David. A second Is
liko a confessor. I will toll you tho wliolo
thing upon tho condition that, you will
not prevont us fighting.”
And Gaulllao related faithfully tho
whole quarrel.
Scarcely had he flnlshod when Big Da
vid began to gambol and cut capers and
flourish his stick In such a manner that
they feared ho was about, to have a fit. Ho
uttorod somo lnnrticulato sounds, In tho
midst of which certain words were nover-
tholcss distinguishable.
“Such d—r-d fools, such d—d fools!"
Finally ho calmed down, and, his eyes
still filled with tears of delirious joy, bo
said:
“You are a couple of clowns. The em
peror said that to mo.”
Bornardln and Gaulllao, moved by the
snmo Impulse, approached Big David with
frowning eyebrows and closed fists. They
would hnvo struck him, but ho stopped
them with a gesture.
“Lot mo speak first, and afterward you
can do as you please,” he orlod. “The
night before tho battlo of Lutzen I was
chosen by tho colonel to oarry a secret
messAgo to whioh tho emperor attached tho
greatest Importance. I was selected bo-
causo I oamo from Sarreloul* and could
■ponk German.
“I was furnished with a peasant’s dress
and cautioned to‘look as much like a
d——d fool os possible, and, If arrested,
to lxjhuvo liko a donkey that wants its
bran.’ I was able to accomplish my mis
sion to the satisfaction of my chiefs. I
carried the message safely, and when I re
turned tho colonel said that 1 should have
a cross. Tho «*m|wror, who always looked
fixedly at the men, may have aaid what
you heard him say before both of you, but
it was of me ho was thinking.”
“And tho proof of what you, tell us?”
demanded Bernardln and Gaulllao in the
same breath.
"Is hero,” said Big IJavld, showing his
cross, “and I swear by this cross that 1 am
speaking tho, truth. From this moment
shake hands and let It all bo declared at
an end.”
Ho had sworn by tho cross of honor. It
was Impossible to doubt his word. Her-
Bardin and Gaulllao shook hands, And
their reconciliation was complete.
But tho same evening as thoy emptied
the third bottlo Gaulllao grow sail and
whispered In Big David’s ear:
“You haVo destroyed tho mostchcrlshed
souvenir of my military career!”—From
the French.

People who have nover boon in a jungle
talk of tho sky as a painter talks of the
horizon or a seafaring man of the offing-
os If when you wanted to seo It you only
need use your eyae. But In the jungle you
don’t see the sky—at least you only seo a
few soraggy patches of It overhead through
the openings In the twigs and loaves.
Neither do you feel tho wind blowing, nor
get burned or daszled by the sun, nor
even see that luminary, exoept by momen
tary glimpses about midday, from which
it follows that a jungleman does not usu
ally pretend to be woatherwlse. If ho does,
ho is even a greater humbug than the rest
of tho weather prophets. On tho after

member setting forth on my walk in tho
still glow of the tropical oalm and won

there was a sound as of a giant waterfall
in the distance. Waterfalls do not, how
ever, grow louder every second, whereas
the nolso In front did so. Thon there was
a loud, angry growl, as of a dozen lions.
A minute moro, and tho whole jungle be

CHRONIC CHILLINESS.

tils* at All Seasons. •
ftow somo pooplo suffer in winter! Thoy
are constantly having chills. A fooling of
cold water trickling down tlm back or
somo local stagnation of blood, with alter
ed norvaus sensations, is experienced. Tho
hands, feet, noso or ears nro especially
likely to glvo Inconvenient*. Such Individ
uals cannot get warm even in lied, and,
as a consequence, often suffer from insom
nia, for sloeplessnoss Is often enused by
cold feet. Many such conditions nrlso from
tho fear of taking outdoor oxerclso, bo-
causo tho wdqthor is too cold. Hnnco tho
circulation Is not kept going, nnd tho
blobd, vitiated by tho close, Impure air of
the house, has no chance offered it of be
ing Allowed to purify itself. „ Tho foulost
river or stream of wntor Is rendered pure
by exposure to tho nlr ns It comes along,
nnd aftor a run of o fow miles booomca lit
for consumption. Why, then, will Uollculo
pooplo deny tho stream of life nn oppor
tunity to purify itself iih It courses through
their veins? Here Is tho soorefc of how to
keep warm In winter—outdoor oxorciso in
pure air.
Many Individuals mistake tho feeling
of cold for “catarrh.” But feeling cold
and “taking a cold” are different things.
A shiver from exposure to cold—indeed a
half frozen oondltion—Is not in Itself like
ly to end In a so callod “cold,” so long us
the exposure has been In tho open air.
But we hold that by breathing tho Impure
air of badly ventllntcd rooms a chill may
lie very easily contracted that will end in
a “cold."
In oold weather wo distinctly recom
mend the ordinarily houlthyman or worn-
An to try the effect of outdoor exorcise, es
pecially when tho fooling Is strong that it
is too cold to go out of doors. Kxerolso
under suoh circumstances will usually Act
as a tonic to tho w.boloframo nnd brace up
the nervous system, tho special function
of which Is to rogulnto the heat of tho
body. The skin should bo freely exposed
to tho air before dressing in tho morning,
and after the morning washing or cold
tepid hath rub tho body Into n glow with
a coarse towel, and you will lx* very near
ly oold and waterproof.—Philadelphia
