Green A Co.'s report on cotton futures says:
“It has been largely a Saturday market, yet
withal holding a pretty strong tone, fine easy
character of Liverpool advices had the effect to
open trade here, which was a little slack, but
comparatively light offerings was readily taken
care of and at an advance of points. The
close stood well sustained.' 1

EASTER DAY IN MEXICO.
One of the Most Festive Occasions In
the Holiday Calendar.
A letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
says: In Mexico everything is festivity to
day. To the Holy Week of mournful relig
ions ceremonials bus succeeded a holiday in
which all are participating. The character
of the church ceremonials during the last
three days was lugubrious in the extreme,
but! a stranger the streets of the capital
and the suburban pleasure resorts, where
the doleful scenes of the Saviour’s passions
were presented in nuvst realistic manner,
seemed more Vke picnic resorts to which tlie
jiopuUition had resorted for a day's pleasure
and enjoyment than places 01 penitence
and penance. To-day all of sadness and
sorrow has be t forgotten, and the whole
population ha- anted out in the brightest
colors to celebrate one of the most festive
occasions in the holiday calendar of the
Mexican republic.
There are t liree plazas— Be Torres—within
the limits of the capital, in which perform
ances of unusual merit are given, and at
Tlalncpantlu, a short distance from the city,
is another. It is needless to say that all the
plazas are crowded. That in which your
correspondent is seated is fairly filled with
the elite of the capital, it having been
thrown open to the public to-day for the
first time.
Diego Prieto, who fought as alternate
with Mazzantini, is here as first sword,
Juan Moreno, surnamed “The Americano,”
is the other. The qttadrilla has entered in
exquisite costumes of sky-blue, vermilion,
old gold, red, dark blue and silver. The
bull is light brown. Ho has disemboweled
two horses which have to be removed from
the plaza. A banderillero plants a pair of
barbs, but in doing so has his forehead
ripped open by om- of the. widespread horns
of the bull, and, though ho bravely tries to
plant another pair, has to leave this plaza
with blood gushing from his face. After
more play Moreno takes the sword, and
Diego Prieto goes to his assistance with the
cape. Prieto in playing with the cape is
struck by the bull’s horns in the side and
face and is removed from the tang, and the
quadrillo is left without a captain. Moreno,
however, amid yells of caution from the
spectators, thrusts the sword to the hilt.
The bull bellows with rage anti the enthu
siasm is intense. The him does not, die till
another thrust is given, aud the attack and
defense elicit the wildest applause.
A black bull enters for the second round,
aud as he plunges into the arena the specta
tor exhibit their appreciation of his ferocity
by deafening cheers. The pieadores fight
on horses whose flank*- and breasts are pro
teeted bv leather shields like those which
preceded them, and succeed in saving the
animals from being disemboweled, but
not from being disabled. The bull is a mag
nificent fighter, und as the baflderillas do
their work a shower of silver dollars and
tinsel-covered cigars fall around the mem
bers of the troop us Moreno again advances
with the sword.
Diego Prieto is seen entering the ring with
bandaged head ami face, ami wild shouts
rent the nir, for even the Americans pres
ent, of whom there is a large number, can
not help appreciating this exhibition of
bravery and courage. Prieto advances with
the cape, m,-ikes some brilliant plays, but is
finally ordered to retire by tlie Chief of
Police, and the admit big spectators are glad
to see him removed from danger. The bull,
after being stabbed twice by Moreno, falls
from exhaustion and is killed by the enuhet
ero.
The quadrilla is ajrain without its Cap
tain when a heavy, dark brown bull entere.
The play of the picador is magnificent, and
one who fought with Mazzantim alter ids
face had been torn with the sand and gravel
of the arena, filled with the enthusiasm of
his profession and forgetful of all sense of
personal danger, flings his sombrero among
the enthusiastic spectators, and returning to
the charge bus tiis horse turned around and
around, but escapes from danger. The
planting of the banderillas renders the bull
hah; rioably furious, and he jumps high in
the nir. Then the banderilla whose fore
land was torn by the horns of the first bull
again enters the aiona with his head ban
daged, and unlike Prieto is allowed to par
ticipate again in the performance. Moreno
docs not handle the sv rd so well this time,
but after several thrusts the bull finally
falls and the fourth enters.
lie is a lively runner, and rapidly chases
the upas around the arena. Koine of the
cupas quickly turn him as many as four
times withe it running, and he bellows with
fury, but will not attack the pieudore.s. The
bugle blows and the bull is turned from the
areua for his failure to attack the horses.
The fifth enters in a fury, but in bis wild
run is received by the capns, who twist and
turn him tiil he falls on his haunches. One
of the picadores is unhorsed, but hangs to
the bridle and is immediately removed. The
other picador is the next attacked, but re
tains ills seat. Then again the other is at
tacked, and next the former. His horse
shies, and the rider jumps to his feet. The
horse fails to the earth pierced to the heart
by the horns of the bull. The banderillas
ar skillfully plant'd, and the spectators go
wild wi’ 'a enthusiasm at tho brilliant dis
play of skill. The sword is plunged into
the hull's neck, and he drops dead.
Another bull enters, which is soon re
turn's i to the corral U “cause of his failure to
attack the horses. The rain, which has
boon falling at this hour during the last
week, interferes with the perforriiance, but
tho spectator* are scaled with open um
brellas and the performances continue.
The next bull enters the arena and de
votes Ins whole attention to the horses. one
of which fails under the rider, end while in
the throes of death is repeatedly pierced
wit h liic horns of the bull. The swordsman
again fail* to do the killing according to the
wishes of tin- spectators, and it is only after
several ineffectual attempts that the bull is
killed by the caehetero.
The last bull chases horses and capes
around tho ring, and displays such vicious
liess that Buenavenda, who has tried tho
sword several times without fatal effect,
though with great dexterity, escapes away
by the arena and tho bull is finally thrown
by two lariats skillfully manipulated by two
horsemen and is dispatched by the cachet
ero.
The latest novelty advertised is a bull
fight, by electric light, which will take place
in a few (lavs in the Plaza do Calon. What
tho result of this experiment will be is en
tirely problematical, and the novel specta
cle of a bull tight by electric light after tlie
dosing of the business houses is expected to
