Cotton advanced 5 to 6 points, but re
acted later on and closed barely * steady,
with s%>es of 100.90 bales. Liverpool ad-
vanced l-32d on the spot and 2%-pdlnta
for future delivery, closing firm with spot
sales (>f 1,000 bales. In Manchester yams
were dull. New Orleans’ receipts tomor
row are estimated at 12,000 to 14,000 biles,
against a,715 on the same day last weak
ami 23,751 last year. Liverpool states that
Manchester is losing some of Its margin
In jmms, and weaving Is bo unprofitable
in many departments that looms are being
stopped. The proposed duty in India, rn
imports of Manchester goods and the fall
In silver is having a'very adverse influ
ence in Lancashire. Light receipts at th
ports were the strongest feature Of the
market. New Orleans helped matters
along by buying rather freely. *rhe reac
tion later on was caused by realizing due
partly to the unsettled feeling in business
caused by gold exports.

GRAIN AND PROVISION*.
Chicago, Dec. 28.—New Yorkers started
in early today to finish up the selling
which they began yesterday near the
close. The only barrier that declining
prices met was the demand from holders
of ’‘puts,’’ but it proved to he potent
enough to support the market and pre.
vent any other serious break. There was
considerable liquidation by dlsgusted^hold-
erg who could find no immediate' encour
agement or hope of an advance In the
situation and who were disposed to view
the. accumulating stocks as overcoming
any> specious reasonings of the bulls.
Thefe was .no news at hapd and no dis
position to make new deals untfl after
January 1. No. 2 red winter wheat Wits
worked her for shipment In the spring.
May:wheat opened from 67% to.5T%iH.
sold;at *T%&%, declined to 57%. closing at
67%—% tt a cent unde yesterday. Cash
wheat in the car lot market was quiet and
unchanged.
Corn depended on wheat today for its
motive and action. The tone was weak,
although values were not much under
those of yesterday. May opened from 48%
to 48%a%. sold between 48% and 48, clos
ing at 48%a%—a shade under yesterday.
Cash corn was unchanged.
Oats.-~Prices In oats suffered Slightly
with the wheat and corn markets. The
trading was light and devoid of Interest.
May closed %a% of a cent under yester
day at Sl%a%. Cash oats were without
particular change. Fractional higher
prices were obtained for No. 2, but other
grades were quotably tha same as Yester
day. - r ; *
Provisions.—In product the seller* of
yesterday aud Wednesday were the buy
ers of today. Covering was the main
purpose of the demand, but prices were
advanced by the purchasing. The hog
market was firmer today, which naturally
tended to have good efTect on provisions.
All articles showed an imDrovement in
tone and closed higher. May pork gained
25 cents for the day and May latd and
ribs each 10 cents.

C. W. Williams has sold to E. H. Scott,
tho owner of John R. Gentry, his fast
young marc Falfa, with a race record of
2:20 as a 2-year-old. Trainer McHenry
recently drove ti»o mare a half in 1:05
and induced Mr. Scott to buy her. The
price paid was aboqt 90,000.
Tho dull winter’s day was drawing to a
clot>n whoa Marlanno do Courvoy came
homo from the cemetery whero tho remains
of her flanoe, Jean do Themlncs, had bocn
laid.
This brilliant young man, tho eldest son
of tho family whoso nmno he bore, died
from tho effects of a bunting ncoldent at
28 years of ago, and on tho evo of n mar
riage ardently desired by all concerned and
one Hint seemed to oombino all tho condi
tions of happiness.
Marianne sank down in n stato of ex
haustion on a sofa in the drawing room.
Her strength was exhausted. So many
overwhelming emotions hnd completely
prostrated her, and sho fainted away. Tho
careful attcutlon of loving hands brought
her back to consciousness. Then sho swore
to God to bury her ~'0 years in the harrows
of a voluntary widowhood aud in tho sol
emn duties of eternal fidelity to tho mem
ory of the past. Tho resolution that Mile,
do Courvoy had formed and had commu
nicated to her family did not tako long to
xnako itself known generally to tho world.
Among people who did not know her
well sho found only unbellovors. Her fa
ther and mothor alono believed in hor res
olution! for they knew her Arm will and
tho onorgy and slnclenoss of hor soul.
They were convinced that ns tho widow of
Jenn do Tlicmines sho would wear her
widow’s weeds forever, so much convinced,
indoed, that they mudo no effort to com
bat her resolution.
During tho year that followed tho death
of hor botrothod Marlanno received two
proposals of marriage. Him refused them.
A third who arrived upon tho Mono re
ceived tho snmo treatment. Her sisters
married, and their mnrrlngo furnished an
opportunity to test somewhat tho strength
and depth of tho young widow’s resolu
tion, but she remained unchanged.
”1 am n widow,” sho said, “and a wid
ow I moan to remain.” Every six months
sho spont afowweoks with Joan’s mother,
who lived since bis death in retirement in
tho chateau of Themlnos.
When sho returned to hor parents after
theso periodical absences, sho showed tho
snmo disposition to remain single, and by
degroes tho conviction at which tho world
lmd laughed was accepted as serious and
final.
It was bellovcd that Milo, do Courvoy
would nover marry ugaln.

Mmo. do Themlnos hod a second son,
Plorro do Thumincs. Ho was younger than
Jean nnd was now at tho ago at which his
brother bad mot death in tho hunting
field.
Marlanno did not know him. At tho
tiino when sho was betrothed to 4<mn bo
was away in Asia on a vovago ot' oxplora* ■
tlon, and although after his brother's
death ho had Rignfflod ids intention of |
coming homo for two years lio hnd been '
detained by tho delays of a long nnd diffi
cult journoy. His mothor was still wait
ing for his return.
Sho awaited his arrival with Impnticnco
that was tho xnoro kcon because sho bud
not been nblo to consolo herself for tho
death of hor eldest son or to fill tho void
caused by that loss. Her grief was only
partially alleviated when sho was nblo to
talk of Plorro, her second son, in whom
all hor hopes wero now ccutorcd. Bho
hoped that soon after Ids roturn homo ho
would marry and by bis marrlago bring
back to hor hearth and homo 6omo of tho
joy and light that Jean’s death had over
shadowed.
Marlanno was almost tho only person to
whom tho old lady had confided this hopo.
Sho was tho porson to whom, In proferonco
to all othors, sho spoko of tho absent ono.
fclio would praise his oxcellentqunlltlus of
hoart, his personal appeurauco and bis
character.
“Ho is tho exact Imago of his brothor,”
sho would often say.
Marianne heard so muoh about Piorre,
road so many of ids letters, saw his pic
tures and hoard his praise so often and so
loudly sung that sho began to fool qn In
terest in him, although slio had never seen
him. Sho bogan to form In hor mind a
picture of what ho should bo if his char-
actor and appearanco bad been truly
drawn.
But in this lntorest slio felt for tho ab
sent Plorro was no traoo of tho lovo siio
had conceived for Joan. 'Sho merely pro-
fossed for Plorro, without knowing him,
tho affection that sho was bound to feel
for everybody who had loved or known
Joan. Slio looked upon bcrsolf in somo
scuso as Ids slstor, nnd sho would havo
protestod strongly against any suggestion
that tho character of her affection for this
unknown brother could oliango into lovo.
Ono ovonlng whllo sho was staying at
tho chateau a lotter camo announcing the
arrival of Plorro in tho country. It was
followed two hours lator by Plorro him
self.
44 You will seo litm, nnd you will lovo
bln,” said Mmo. do Themlnos to Marl
anno.
Slio nttnehed to theso words no special
meaning, but when ho camo into tho room
sho was overwhelmed. Mmo. do Theininoti
.had not exaggerated when sho said that
Plorro was tho Imago of Jean.
Marlanno thought that slio saw before
ho? tho old lovor alivo from tho dead. Tho
saino faco, tho samo hair, tho samo franio
nnd build and ihn fiuum lnnnmjrd. Mm
llstonad for his volco. It was tho voico of
tho dead man, and in tho nccent and turn
ho gavo to them it was ns if sho wero ac-
tully in tho presence of tho dead Joan und
listening to Ids words from tho gravo.
This interview resulted in an attack of
prostration.
On tho following day sho made hurried
preparations to go away, as if Homo danger
threatened her. But Mmo. do TJicmluos
would not allow hor to depart.
“If you go away now,” sho laid, “you
will throw a shadow over tho Joy I feel at
tho return of my son.”
6o Marianne did not go away. In spite
of her alarm thero soon took placo in hor a
| transformation that, unknown to herself,
1 resulted in tho awakening of hopes that
: sho would not admit.
I Onco again sho experienced In talking
: with Picrro the charrn that she had loved
! to well with his brother Joan.
With tho holp of this illusion her heart
opened and warmed onco again with love.
Ono day Mmo. do Thomlnes came up to
bi-r and whispered In her ear:
41 Plorro loves you, my doar girl. Love
him.”
Sho did love him. Now they aro mar
