Instead, Uverpool prices at tho hour of the local opening were S to 4 points lower, and It was saM that the easier ten dency was owing to selling for the account of tho same spot people who had bought here on the day before.

The cotton mar ket has been quite, The opening was asy at a decline of t to 6 points which was an exception of dlssatlcf action by pesterday late buyers over the action t Liverpool. On the New Tork close ot yesterday Uverpool should have been 1 to 8 lower.

To-morrow will be given over to business purely and simply and may develop greater activity though we understand that many of the brokers wilt be out of town and that generally speaking accounts have been pretty well evened up. We should hardly say that any marked change will occur un til after the holidays at any rata when operators based on the probable show ing f the census report on Wednesday will be noted. The general position Is that 'this report will be bearish and short covered this week-end with probably be re-issued on Tuesday. ' . J. 8. BACHE as CO. O. P. Ellis A Co.'s Cotton Letter. Special to The Observer. ' New Orleans, La., Dec. 22. The dis appointing action of Liverpool to-day suggests tne iaea mat me neavy uuy Ingat New Tork, which stimulated the American market yesterday in the na ture"of arbitration, entailing a cor rupting amount of selling at Uverpool to-day. In the''' American markets the holiday spirit begins to prevail and but: for this and the general disposition to cover over Christmas It looks as though new low records would have beep made to-day. As It is, the mar kets hate sagged of their own weight and close 6 to 7 points lower than yesterday. A feature ot local Interest was the covering of a line of 26,000 January and , March,-, removing, per haps the largest speculative short In terest in this market, which by rea son of the constant reduction of com mitments of this character Is now in poor condition to withstand the effect of any reselling which' the census re port may induce. ; 1 C. P. ELLtS & CO. Hubbard Bros. A Coa Cotton totter. Special to The Observer. - New York, Dec. 2J. European buy ers were disappointed at true absence of a sharp demand from spinners, and the markets were not as good as America had expected. A weaker open lng waa followed by a sharp rally, brought partly by short covering and partly by buying for investment by outsiders, who are now being slowly attracted to cotton by the feeling that - any further decline in prices means s. curtailment of acreage. This de mand does not follow an advance, -.' but as yet only comes in small quanti ties. Local trades are not-quite so bearish as of iate, but still expect ; ' tower prices on the ginners report and - the January receipts. In the last two minutes there wers fifteen thousand v bales of May sold by the bear party, which caused a decline of S points, and prevented the market from recovering its decline. y .".v-; " - ?:s..

In the rnllroad list the feature was selling of Heading on account of failure to declare a larger dividend yesterday. Union Pa- clfic and (Southern Pacific were influenced somewhat adversely by continued predlc- tlnns that the Northern Securities appeal decision would be in favor of the Hill Interests.

Brooklyn Eagle. Archbisnop Thompson was greatly surprised when he was given the arch diocese of York. He had been suffer ing acutely from toothache, and upon merllral advice had resorted to nar cotic. After a particularly bad night he set out for his doctor, though his wife had besought him not to submit to further narcotics, as after them he Was " not himself" for some hours. On the way he met the postman, who handed him a letter announcing his preferment from Gloucester to York. Hh rushed back and burst excitedly Into the house, the toothache all for gotten. "Zoe, Zoe!" he called to Mrs. Thompson, "what do you thing has happened? I am archbishop of York!"' "There, what did I tell you ?" rejoin ed his wife. "You've bean taking that horrid narcotic again and are Quit out of your head." Coffins as Furniture. London Daily Mall. A man living In Queensbury not only uses his coffin as a piece of household furniture, but he has also a grave made in the local churchyard, headed by a gravestone on which his name Is set out In conventional style. Under neath Is the line: "Not dead, but waiting." One man at Tong, near Bradford, kept his Sunday fclotnes in his coffin, and another, who ate porridge at breakfast, used his coffin as a meal bin. Some years ago a Keighley man kept butterfly specimens In his coffin. Prof. Roentgen's Modesty. Medical Record. One of the least self-advertised of scientific authorities is Prof. Roentgen. He ha never been interviewed, has never been banqueted and Is even said to have refused Immense sums ot money offered him by American pub lishers for a book on what he himself modestly styled "a new kind of ray." Like many other investigators of his race, he carries his years gallantly. and. though- 60, looks more like a man who has led a healthy outdoor life than one who has spent the whole of his manhood in lnvestiaatin strange Dhvs- leal problems.
