COMMERCIAL.
Xswf Orvicft. I^c. 27.—There is little or no
activity In the local market#, business is light
and merchants generally are engaged in
atraightening ap after the grand Christmas
rush, making inventories and casting up ac-
counts of the year's dealings. Prices remain
unchanged.
The spot cotton markets showed little feature
of interest and were generally quiet and dull
to*day. Memphis declined l-16c, while the
other markets showed no change from last qHP"
ations The spot sales in jail United States
market# to-day were 15,629 bales, of which 6736
bales were sold In Memphis. Local sales were
201 bales and the market was quiet iu tone.
Mew York futuree opened quiet, 10£ points
higher, and cloeed easy at 1 point lowor than
yesterday.
New Orleans futures opened stesdy, 2©9
points higher, ruled steady 'i@4 pointM lower
and olosed quiet, 1®10 points higher than yes-
terday.
- NOVEMBER FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The Commercial Bulletin of New York pre-
sents the following statistics of the Imports and
exports at New York during the month of No-
vember:
The following comparison shows the value of
export* for the month of November iu the prin-
cipal classes, iu comparison with similar re-
turns for the same mouth last gear. ^
Cotton $44,66.'>,998 $47,555,038
Provisions 9,439,220
Breadstuff! 7,682,004 10,063,430
Ktroleum. ...... 4,502,WJ 4.184,196
Cattle and hoes 2,306.202 2,061,408
Total «68,496,423 $73,680,166
These returns show a decrease in the princi-
pal items ot $6,0*3,744, of which about $3,000,000
is in value of cotton and about $2,300,000 in
value of breadstufls. Against these there is a
slight Increase in petroleum and in cattle and
hogs, but exports of provisions also show a
slight decrease In value. The exports for the
month of November last year were in valne
pQ, 168,660. If the value of remaining exports
should be the same this year the aggregate for
the month would be about $88,600,000. But
there is reason to suppose that 6oma decrease
will also be found in the minor exports, the
more because there was n decrease of $1,200,000
in the value of all exports exclusive of epecie
from the port of N«w York. , ,
On the other hand, the imports at New\ ork for
the month of November were $48,151,123, against
$38,015,176 for the same month last year, show-
ing a gain of $5.1*6.947. The remaining Imports
for November last year were in valuo $-'0,979,-
608, but no reason is perceived for doubting that
there was Home increase in these, as in the Im-
ports at New York, La«t year the value of all
lmporte w«s $58,994,784 in November, and it
seems not improDable that tho aggregate this
year may reach $65,000,000 Assuming a de-
crease of $1,000,000 in tne minor exports, the ag-
gregate of exports would be about $87,000,000,
and the excess of exports over Imports about
$'_'2,000,000, against an excess of $34,719,042 for
the sauie months last year.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Nnw York, Deo. 27.—The situation, both
In Wall street and in the mercantile commun-
ity, is improving. In Wall street the crisis has
long been passed and affairs have settled down
to au every-day condition.
The stook market, of course, still retains its
holiday character, but thero was a most marked
disposition by the short sellers in the early por-
tion of the week to discount a good bank state-
ment by oovering their shorts, whiob of itself
gave the market a strong tone, whioh lasted
from tho opening to tho olose.
The first sales were made at small fractional
gains over last evening's figures, and while the
narrowness and dullness were most pronounced,
the active stocks, including St Paul, Atchison.
Union Pacific, Lake Shore, Lackawanna and
sugar, all showed considerable strength and
rose further small fractions.
Union Paciflo was the most slugcli«h, and
failed to make auy material advance. The rest
of the list, however, was most entirely devoid
of feature, and the market finally closed dull,
hut firm, at about the best prices of the day.
Railroad bonds were comparatively aotive.
Governments dull and steady.
State bonds neglected.

How to Be Happy.
For ths climax of devout optimism com-
mend us to Dr. Deems of the Church of the
Strangers in New York. The secret of his
successful aud happy life has been given to
the public recently in rhyme. He says:
The world Is wide
In time and tide.
And God Is guide,
Then—do not hurry.
That man is blest
Who does his best
And leaves the rest.
Then—do not worry.

A Novel Christmas Gift.
Captain John Rodman, who is now eta-
tioned at Fort AsBinibolne, in Wyoming,
has pressnted the Fort Orange club with a
valuable aud interesting Christmas present
in the form of an Indian pipe of peace, says
the Albany Argus. The pipe is a very old
one, with a history which adds to its in-*
trinsic worth. It is reported that it was
originally the pipe of peace used by tbe
Gros-Ventres, and then came into the pos-
session of the Assiniboines, from whom it
wss taken by the Sioux, of whom Captain
Hodman obtained it. It is a state pipe and
was used only on occas ons of great cere*
mony. It is supposed to be over 100 years
old. The pipe is about three feet long and
is made of red pipe clay, highly polished
and carved. The bowl is placed about two-
thirds of the distance from the mouth-
piece, on the stem, and the projecting spike
was used as a support. The suem is square,
each side being apout an inch wide. The
whole weighs nearly five pounds.
When He Threw the Chisel,
"I hear 'twas yourself and Mickey Doran
had a bit av an incounter," said one laborer
on a railroad to another.
"We did. I wor singin' the whPe I wor
pasting a log in place, and he said Ol rhes
moinded him 'im av a tie-rollin' warbler.
'Twaa not till thin that I t'rew a chisal at
'lm." [Washington Post.
Dyspepsia, sick headache, heartburn, indi-
gestion, etc., are cured by Hood's barsaparilia.
A GREAT EVENT FOB TEXAS.
Aransas Harbor will make the largest
city on tbe Texas coast Fortunes will be
made in real estate and superior business
opportunities will be offered. Will the
Texas people reap their share of the bene-
fits or allow the citizens of foreign states
1000 mi lea away to step in and monopolies
what will prove to be the great business op-
portunity of a century?
