Tbe first woman created, according to heathen Greek mythology, was Pan dora. She was made of clay by Vul can,, at the request of Jupiter, who wished to punish the Impiety of Pro metheus by giving him a wife. When this woman of clay had received life, all the gods vied making her presents. Venus gave her beauty, the Graces gave her the power of captivating, Apollo taught her music, Mercury In structed her in eloquence and Minerva gave ber the most splendid Ornaments. From these presents received from the gods the woman was called Pandora, which Intimates that she had received every i necessary gift - ; V. Prometheus wag too artful to marry this woman and could not ' be capti vated by ber charms, but his brother, Eplmetheus, who was not so prudent, married her Instead, and upon opening a box which she presented to him there Issued from It a multitude of evils, Which dispersed themselves over the World and still continue to afflict the human race.

As was to be ex pected the market has had a set back on realizing. The break started Saturday and went further this a. m. Liverpool broke sharply several points and general selling took place here. A feature this a. m. was the decline in January. This is about what may have been looked for. We are not surprised ( and will not be surprised at a much larger discount but there is nothing in the January business to induce one to give It any attention. It la generally known holders of Janu ary wore short ef .May, also January shortB were long of March. Now when the January people have a lot of cotton delivered to them which they have sold in the open market in considerable qun tities, they came out with a bear circu lation saying prices likely to break Jc per pound. All this will depend on the movement and little else. Until the movement 1b on a scale to restore confi dence in larger crop estimates, we would boy on every decline. A break of '29 points should cause a reaction. We believe a drop of more than 3t points likely but, If It happens, which is doubtful there will be a sharp upturn. Then if factors are against the market prices will slowly recede. It was the same at the decline at 7.84 for March the price broke, advanced and then weak ened to within a few points of the bot tom again. So on the advance t he mar ket seldom if ever reaches a point and takes the other tack without wobbling around a bit first. All this is Irrespec tive of the future course of prices. Tbe bpecclatlve buying Is good. Better than for some time and receipts still rather too small to encourage larger estimates or to restore confidence In the large crop figures. The census bureau says the crop is 10,690,000 bales which com pares very favorably with the agricul ture bureau of 10,400,000 In December. If these figures are at all correct there will be no trouble in buying cotton on breaks. Sentiment is on the side of the market. On a farther break buy for a recovery. J. E. Latham & Co. New York, January 8. Following the advance of the weekjthere was the Inev itable Saturday realising. Holders who had good profits took them and selling was more than enough to supply the market Wants. Liverpool advanced at opening about S points and then losing about all la a, way discouraging Home of the trade t here at , opening. . . 8elling abroad was due to profit taking and here to same cause.. .Then too, Houston for Monday loomed up about twice as ntany as last year. A large quantity of cotton appears around 8fc and Januairy and March ran along rather close most of the time. Spot sales in the South ware very heavy yesterday at full prices, ) aJI as long as the demand continues in Jace of a light movement. It will be safe to buy on all recessions. . There Is likely to be a break again Monday. Prices have be a rushed rapidly and the market jnay be cleaned of the short Interest. O.i a good break of 10 or 20 points w would begin to buy, for the break can hardly amount to much. Receipts are mat on a scale to re-assure spinners in a day. " It will take a large movement for some weeks to change sentiment. Dont be lieve in the small crop estimates and look for Increased estimates later. Senti ment Is now bullish. Amount in sight for week' was 80,000 bales behind last year and excess over last year is now only 75,000 bales. . This Is not enough to encourage eleven million bale estimate, aad without such, prices are more likely to ,S higher. Until' the movement is inch, as to turn sentiment we believe In holding to the hull tide. - J. E. Lathm & Co, FACTS IN FEW LINES " Australia finds home for mora than 100,500 Germans.

Sev eral senators and representatives were on the train, and in the same sleeping car were several members of the Bond ed Warehouse association. The whole party got out at Pittsburg for an airing, and while they were walking up and down the station platform their train pulled out and away. When It finally dawned upon them that their Bleeping car had really gone, the members of the Bonded Warehouse association be came exceedingly anxious and hurried to the office of the division superintend ent of the Pullman company. "I am sorry, gentlemen," said the su perintendent, "that your train should have left you, but all that I can do Is to give you accommodations In a chair car from here to Altoona. There you Will be able to get a sleeping car through to Washington." "What time can we get to bed?" was asked. "One o'clock." "That will never do," said one of the party. "Our tickets call for sleeping car accommodations from Cleveland to Washington, and we must have them." "Can't be done, gentlemen," said the superintendent "Very sorry, but It is absolutely impossible." "But Senator Kanna" "What! Senator Hanna: Is he left?" "He is." "Gentlemen, be seated. I will see what can be done." In five minutes one of the best sleep ing cars in the Pullman service was ready, and the party came on to Washington rejoicing. Took Him For a "I'ng." The late Justice Gray was a man of austero manner and not the subject one would choose for a practical Joke, but none tho less was he ready to en joy a Joke on himself and to tell It This is one of bis stories. About tho time that John L.

As he strolled back "BB XOTJ BKAIiLY JOHN SCLWVAN?" and forth on the platform his great height and massive build naturally at tracted tbe attention of the station loungers, and within ten minutes some report bad spread through the town which drew half the inhabitants down to the tracks, where they stood li groups staring at the Judge, who was quite at a loss to understand their curi osity. Fifteen minutes later it was cx plained, when a gaunt nnd gawky countryman approached blm and ask ed: "Be you really John Sullivan, the scrapper?" Taa Careful Stenographer.
