Manchester, Aug. 3. The Guardian says:
“The market was very quiet. Fresh inquiry
small. India merchants have received few tele
graphic orders, although in some instances last
week's low limits were raised, and business was
done which* previously had not been feasible.
The actual transactions and now demand are
quite light. Inquiry for China is uniinnortunt.
Shippers to Eastern Mediterranean markets arc
fairly occupied with regular business for the
current season, yet order* an* moderate. Buyers
for South American and other lesser foreign
outlets continue to purchase steadily-, but as a
rule in small quantities. Home distribution is
very small. Export_varu sections are inactive.
There is a moderate demand, and in some east's
prices are a trifle easier. Home manufacturers
are averse to buying more than they actually
require for immediate or early use. Cloth see
tions are quiet, and sales are below the average.
Some manufacturers are rather anxious to sell,
and are occasionally disposed to accept lower
rates. Steadiness rules, however. India and
China shirtings are steady where engagements
are full. There is some demand for heavy
goods, chiefly from nearer foreign markets."

"An irregular tone has prevailed on cotton fu
tures today, with the run of cost generally
lower. During the early portion of the day a
continuation of tame accounts from Liverpool
had a depressing influence, and under rather tin
dcrselliug. there was a shrinkage of 10(7/12
j oint s. ( >ctoler showing the greatest weakness,
i mil afterward more or less unfavorable crop
advices created a reactionary feeling, and there
was a recovery that put late months back to
about lust evening's figures, or a fraction
higher, and the chase was steady. August wont
off 12 points, and recovered 8 points, but was

A WONDERFUL WELL.
A Singular Phenomenon in the South
west -Supposed to be Magnetic and
Healing.
A dispatch from El Peso, Tex., to tho
Missouri Republican says: About 110
miles cast of El Paso, near Sierra Blanca,
on the lino of the Texas and Paeitlc rail
road, there is a strange phenomenon that
has just come to public notice. Tho au
thority for tho statements about to be made
is ox-Gov. John C. Brown, of Tennessee,
receiver of tho Texas and Pacific, who
visited this city a few days ago, accom
panied bv several officials of the road, in
cluding division Superintendent Judy, in
whoso jurisdiction the phenomenon is lo
oated. Gov. Brown ami Supt. Judy told
tho story to ono or two persons hero
and it has just come to tho reporter's ears.
About three years ago tho Texas and Pacific
Railway Company undertook to sink an
artesian well a few miles below Sierra
Blanca, which is a little hamlet ninety-five
miles east of El Paso. The workmen put
tho pipe down about 000 foot, when suddenly
an underground cavern was struck, the
drill dropping about six feet and a current
of air rushed up the pipe. Drilling ceased
and the well was abandoned, tlio 000 feet of
pipe remaining in tho ground and giving a
connection bet ween the surface of the earth
and the strange subterranean cavity a quar
ter of a mile beneath.
The phenomenon did not at that time at
tract the attention of anyone sufficiently in
terested to investigate. Recently, however,
Supt. Judy’s attention was called
to it, and his personal examination and in
quiries have developed peculiar facts and
testimony about the wonderful well. Gov.
Brown stopped to see it on bis wav hero.
Not many peoplo live near the well, but
those who do reside in the neighbor
hood of it are thoroughly acquainted with
it ever since it was abandoned three years
ago. The people near by have been * the
habit of going and sitting about the well in
summer to enjoy the cool, in
vigorating air that rushes up tho
pipe One of the strangest things is
the fact that the current of air ebbs anil
flows like tho ocean tides. From about
10:15 a. m. till 10:15 p. m. u current of air
rushes out of the pipe with a sound that re
sembles the noise made by a locomotive
“blowing off steam,” and so loud that it can
l>e heard for forty or fifty yards. At 10:15
p. m. the overflow air ceases and a strong
suction sets in, which lasts for the next
twelve hours, this ebb and flow continuing
day after day, ami it has been observed by
horsemen that whenever they get in the
neighborhood of this well strong magnetic
forces are felt, and sparks aro given off if
the horse’s mane is touched.
Recently a man from Sierra Blanca was
sitting close to the well and on taking out,
his pocket-knife found a nail which ho hail
in his pocket clinging to the knife. Ho held
tho knife in the current of tho air and found
tho magnetic property was greatly in
creased. Several weeks ago Supt. Judy
held his pocket-knife in the cun cut of nir
for four minutes, and the knife is still
strongly magnetized from the effect. Tho
outflowing current of air is lielieved to pos
sess remarkable curative properties. Its
efficiency is to be tested by experiments
upon cases of paralysis and other diseases.
Tiie people who live near tho wonderful well
call it the “fountain of youth.”
REWARDING A HUMANE JUDGE.
Pranks of a Young Steer Which He
Befriended Leads Him Into Trouble.
“Just, look yonder!” exclaimed Judge
Berrybonc, addressing his wife. Tho Judge
was standing upon his porch, says the New
York Telegram , and had caught sight of a
party of boys throwing stones at. a young
steer. “Just look at them, plague take
their merciless skins. Elvina, 1 can’t, stand
it,; I declare 1 can’t. They shan’t treat tho
poor animal that way. 1 don't, know who
it belongs to, but if it belonged to toy worst
enemy they shouldn’t do it.”
The kind-hearted judge ran out, drove
the boys away, and turned tho panting steer
into his own lot.
“Every day I um impressed more and
more with your kindness of heart.” said tho
judge's wife, who came out smiling.
“F just couldn’t stand it, Elvina I can
stand it to soo a man suffer, for ho can ex
press himself, but, I cannot look inactively
upon the torture of an animal.” i
“What arc you going to do witn him!”
“Keep him here until his owner is ap
prised of his whereabouts.
“Do you suppose that there is any danger
of his breaking through the palings and
tramping down the flowers?” the Judge’s
wife asked.
“I think not. I fell you what’s a fact,
Elvina. I ln-lrive that animals have grati
tude. Look at that steer—how gratefully he
looks at me. Get me a canful of meal and
I’ll take it out to him.”
The stivr backed up into a corner of tho
fence. He wus evidently very hungry, for,
its Macaulay said of old Bam Johnson, “t he
right, of food greatly affected him.” Tho
Jii Igo put down the pan and said. “Now,
young fellow, we’ll have something to eat.
Come on. Why, I wouldn’t hurt you for
the world. Poor thing, lie has been utilised
until, unable to distinguish a friend from a
foe, he regards tho whole of mankind os his
enemy.”
The Judge, with one hand persuasively
outstretched, slowly advanced toward the
animal.
“Won’t he hurt you?” Mrs. Bcrrybone
shouted.
“Of course not. lie’s been so shamefully
treated that he doesn’t understand me.”
The steer uttered a frightful “bar-r-r,”
and made a lunge at the judge, who, leaii
ing asido, took to his h iels. Tho steer
wheeled about, and started after him, and,
what is worse, caught no with him. He
knocked the judge down just before he
reached the gate, and was butting him
with his hornless, but bony, hoad,
when Mrs. Berry bone, with wo
man’s instant conception of res
cue, hurriedly filled a largo
tiu cup full of boiling water, ran to thegate
and t hrew tho water at the steer. Unfortu
nately the animal changed Ills lsjsition just
at that moment, and a Joint roar, which
cum from the ground, announced that the
judge hud (might the water. In a moment
more tin- humane gentleman had scrambled
to hi* feet and hail dart's! into the house.
When he mine out, which he quickly did,
be was accompanied with a pun. He tired
|srsionut"ly, and. missing the steer, kill’d
a blooded colt in an adjoining lot. The
steer broke through the palings, tr<xl upon
tho (lowers, and made his escape.
