i Co., through n. II. Reese, their Mucou
repreientative, any: Considering the short
session, our market for cotton certificates
his shown renewed strength and actirity
with an absence of sellers. Some incoming
buying orders for near options could only be
filled at advancing rates, and we closed two
to three points better on the old crop. The
new crop remains neglected. Receipts from
plantations are 5,000 hales against 13,000 last
week and 36,000 bales last year.

««*<* t( » e D W» Business In the Grain
i.uil provision Pits.
Chicago, May 5.—When trading opened
0I1 ’Change to day there was good interest
and son* nervousness in all the pits. It was
noticeable among bidders for oats and corn
for May. However, there was little disposi
tion on the part of big operators to change the
price of wheat to day. There was fair activ-
ityand promise of better prices shortly after
the opening, but on the whole the market
was heavy and the range of prices narrow,
with a lower tendency at the close. There
was an absence of fresh argument and even
rumors were wanting here. Jlay ranged 81 %
aSl« and closed at 81%. July ranged at
83%a83% and elosed at 83%. A prominent
operator was active, and to his selling was
largely due the tendency shown at the close.
In the corn market, interest early was in
May and some shorts were again obliged to
put the price to 58, although there was a re
action to 57% later. At the hour when May
touched 58, June and July sold at 56. These
were the top prices for the session and for
Jane and July but a fraction better than the
close last night. From 11 a. m.luntil the
close the pit was comparatively quiet, with
prices dragging to the close. The closing
prices for the day and week were 07% for
May and 55% for June, July and August.
There was pressure for May oats this
morning and the price went to 34%. . The
close was at 33%. ‘ July sold at 32%a33,
closing at inside prices.
There was an irregular movement of pro*
vision*. Lard opened strong, and operators
expected it to advance. As pork and short
ribs moved upward, there was too much de
sire on the part of foreign houses to sell for
lurd to advance, and it slumped 5 cenia,
while pork advanced 10 and short ribs 5
seats on covering by shorts. Later in the
day the demand ceased and weakness set in,
prices dropping 7% cents on ribs and fifteen
to twenty cents on pork. The appearance of
strong buyers shortly before the close caused
a firmer feeling and a slight rally, the lost
sties being at fifteen to twenty cents ad
vance on pork and 2% to 5 cents on short
ribs, while lard was a trifle lower. July pork
sold at ;|14.20 and closed at $14.27%. Lard
sold at *7.22%**8,27% and closed at the
same. Packing since March 1st is 481,000
hogs against 464,000 for the same time last
J'»r. .

and weak to-day, and after many flactua

The opening was generally strong under
these circumitancef, but Missouri Pacific

better look for the bulls and the losses were
not only regained, but fractions in addition
in most of the list. After this movement,
however, animation disappeared from the
market and the bears again took held •( the

KKW YORK'S HANDSOME MEN.
ni<> M«*n of t he Metropolis Who are Noted
for Personal llenuty.
eclal Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.
Nkw York, April 20.—He was a hand
some man.
Nine people out of ten who recalled that
fact about Uoscoe Conkling when he was
„ at the point of death, and who felt
almost acquainted with him because they
had been made so familiar with his per-
lonal appearance through description, por
trait and caricature—nine out of ten of
these could have given even the principal
nth of his long and eventful career as a
statesman*
interesting to speculate upon whose
shoulders his mantle will fall here in New
York. Who will be tbe handsomest lawyer
now that he is no longer here to claim the
title? It is no empty honor here where
the majority of t!»«- eminent lawyers enjoy
the advantages of an attractive exterior.
There L no lack of men whose friends
will claim the honor for them.
Russell, the son-in-law of Jndge llilton,
U command attention. He reminds one
of Rider Haggard’s Leo Viucey, who
might nave stood lor the statue or a ureetc
god. Mr. Russell’s face is Grecian. It is
accurately molded, both for strength and
grace. lie has fine curly silken hair, and
a light full beard, closely cut, which is
also curly. He never fails to make an im-
pression upon a jury before he opens his
mouth to address them.
Judge Lawrence is another of the hand
some lawyers. His b auty is of the Ro
man type, though modified toward what
may be called the best American standard.
He has a handsome snow white mustache,
which is reckoned as among his chief
attractions.
Amongthe handsome lawyers Ward Mc-
Allister should be reckoned. He is all
Frenchman in appearance, despite his
name. He wears a a Iron gray imperial,
which I13 has a l ibit of pulling when his
mind is somewhat perturbed* There are
many others, and among them ex-Attor-
ney-( o*neral Leslie W. Russell will com
mand attention on account of the peculiar
magnificence of his figure and the manly
beauty of his clean cut featu
striking in their personal appearance. . It
would seem to indicate that the exterior
has a good deal to do with a man’s suc
cess at the bar. Certainly the lawyers of
the metropolis can claim a point or two on
the doctors in this matter of personal ap
pearance. Among the really eminent
physicians there are comparatively few
who can command attention for their
phvsical excellences. Dr. Francis Deia-
fiefd, tall and finelv formed, with dark
complexion and a black mustache, chal
lenges attention. He lias a distinguished
air and comes of a very old family.
Dr. Hitchcock, who has attained consid
erable celebrity by the extent of his prac
tice at Narragansett pier, is considered a
handsome roan. He can not claim regu
larity of feature, but he has a good fore
head, a clear complexion and expression of
great good nature. His figure is strong
and erect. Among the younger men is
Dr. Fred 8. Fulton. He is a rising home
opathist. It is doubtful if the majority of
men Wv uld agree that he is handsome, but
nine out of ten women would say so. He
lias wavy brown hair, and deep, handsome
brown eves. He wears a full beard, which
fa nn« ni hi« Attract inns, but it i« tin. oy»w
that do the work so far as ihc lady pa
tients are concerned. He is a thoroughly
good fellow, and nothing in the above is
intended to conflict with this statement.
Passing from the healers of the body to
those whose labors are directed to the soul,
one may find any amount of handsome
ministers in New York. Most of them
bear the stamp of their profession more or
less plainly, but not nearly so much so as
they would if their lives were passed out- ,
side of the great city, with its contacts be- j
tween men of all classes. Dr. William F.
Morgan, of St. Thomas’ Protestant Episco- J
pal Church, is a portly, solidly built man,
IIis episcopal robes become him to the last
degree, and when he rLes clothed in them,
his congregation cannot fail to be im
pressed.
Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity, has the aus
tere, pale, clean shaven face of the scholar.
His features are regular and very express
ive, nnd the face is full of character. He
is called a very handsome man by those
who admire inlellectualityof countenance.
For another type take Father Murphy,
of St. Francis Xavier’s church. He is the
ideal handsome priest, with large, full
figure and genial face. lie has baby blue
eyes, as clear as a summer sky, and they
light up when he smiles, which is very
often.
The Rev. William Rainsford, of St.
George’s, is quite a different sort of man.
lie has the tall figure of the Indian ath
lete nnd his fact* is thin. He is from
Canada and he shows it. lie is wiry and
energetic, and a powerful attractive man.
Among the Presbyterians the honors
should be given to Dr. Paxton, whose sol
dierly bearing makes his figure noticeable,
though he is not above medium height,
lie has a good faee of the English type,
rather llorid, hut not ui;|i!i :i<i:kIv so. lie
we:ir- :i lumd-ome white mnii-tarlie.
Taking all these men together and
there is not one of them who would not
be noticed in a crowd—and one may
make a general statement that will apply
to them all; they are ‘‘good dressers.”
There is not one of them who is careless of
his clothing. Mr. Rainsford comes the
nearest to it and he never offends There
is not one of them who wears conspicuous
attire. They all dre-s harmoniously from
their hats to their shoes. Their garments
are neat, they are appropriate, they suit
the men.
and U framed in iron-grav hair. He looks
substantial and well feu, but withal a man
of intelligence and purpose.
Bishop Potter cannot l>e forgotten with
his clean-cut features and air of perfect re
finement. IIis mouth is his most charac
teristic feature. Its lilies are firm, but
wonderfully delicate, the very ideal tor a
