COMMERCIAL.
News Office, Thursday, December 11. —The
rain interfered somewhat with outdoor business to-
day, but considering that fact trade was fair.
Prices were wildly unchanged.
Cottcn took a genuine tumble to day, closing
lower for futures at New York, New Orleans and
Galveston, and lower for spots at several points.
This is not at all surprising, however, after such
advancing markets as have prevailed. As a promi-
nent operator remarked, "Reactions are always
due." Operators, as a rule, have no clear concep-
tion of what may be the outgrowth of the current
movement, and brokers when asked for opinions
show a general tendency to be non-committal.
There is a feeling of perplexity pervading the
situation. Spot cotton at Liverpool closed dull ac
last prices, with sales of 8000 bales, 5700 of which
were American.. At New York the market closed
quiet, with sales of 477 bales. Prices were revised
in this market, nil grades except low middling up-
lands and Texas being reduced l-16c. New Orleans
at noon was quiet at last prices, with sales of 900
bales. The closing of this market was not re-
ceived at the exchange. Futures at Liverpool
opened quiet but steady and closed barely steady,
1-lCd lower on January-February, February-
March and April-May, and unchanged from last
night on remainder of the list. At New York fu-
tures opened barely steady, at second call were
dull but steady and closed weak in tone and from
17 to 20 points lower than last closiner, with sales of
109,010 bales. The New Orleans market *or futures
opened steady, at second call were quiet and closed
barely steady and lower than last night by from 12
to 15 points, with sales of 49,700 bales.
Spot cotton in the local market declined l-16c
and closed easy with sales of 656 bales. At the
opening futures were steady, and at second call
were barely steady and closed unchanged in tone,
showing lower values than last closing by from
ten to fifteen points, and sales of 4400 bales, o*
the sales 6(0 were for January, 330 for February,
500 for fllarcb, 1C00 for April, 700 for May, 5D0 for
June, 700 for July, and 100 for September.

Three hunters had a very liv»ly expariome
with a bear recently, near Huutington, Pa.
The bear wasbrouglit to bay in a large thicket
with the aid of hounds, and oue of tne party
volunteered to creep iu and drive hioi out.
The volunteer had gone but a short distance
wh*nhe was suddenly attacked by Ihe en-
raped bear, who planted its feet on the hun-
ter's breast and terribly lacerated him. Tho
cries of the unlucky hunter soon brought the
others to his assistance, but the bear left him
only to charge on his rescuers, one of whoui
bruin grabbed around the waist, and with a
powerful hug broke two of his ribs. The third
hunter raised his gun at this critical moment,
and with a well-directed aim planted two
balls in the bear's heart, killing it instantly.
The injured men were at onco eared for, b it
some el ays will elapse before they wiil care for
a similar experience. _

The resilience of W. L» Adams, In Coh vs,
N. J., was built in 1762. and was tin army
beadquaiters in 1777. The house is of bricks
which were made on tbe island, excepting 4
few which form a ridge or cop-
irg extending around the body of
tfce house about four feet from the
ground. These came from Holland. Tueoll
windows, with their heavy sashes and dimiuu-
tive panes, and t lie old-fashioned divided door,
with its massive knocker and ponderous bar,
still remain. In fact, the only chanr? in th*
front of the house i- a new porch, bull: by Mr.
Adams about ten vears ago.
