•I is almost impossible to estimate condi !
tions which will take place when tlie j
weather conditions change. Our repre
sentative has just returned from an ex- >
tended tour through the cotton belt, and !
report more cotton in the fields than tt ‘
any time before at this season of the year,
and the movement paralyzed by bad roads,
etc. A crop of bales has been
made, but under prevailing weather condi
tions it will not be picked, as it is daily
being damaged by beating rains.”
New York, Nov. 3.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say of cotton to-day: “The act of the
market to-day in face of lower foreign
maikels and a falling off in the demand
from Manchester spinners is evidence of
local strength of conditions. Traders here
point to the firmness as indications of the
sentiment in favor of cotton. They brush
aside the question of supplies with the re
mark that they do not propose to stand
in the way of sentiment, but mean to be
bulls because others are bulls. This state
ment embodies all the arguments in favor
of the market in a short but i>ithy manner
and must be accepted as the reason for
the advance from the opening as cotton
comes slowly here from the South. The
January position in sharp 'demand from
the arbitrage brokers, though we are
rapidly changing from the lowest toward
the highest cotton market. Judging from
the movement compared with previous
season, the crop now promises to exceed
last year, though it is not new popular to
admit such a probability. In short the
temper of the trade is bullish, in sharp
contrast with the bearish temper so long
dominant, notwithstanding the interior
movements.’’

New York, Dec. 3.—There was no change
in the character of the market to-day
from that which has prevailed for several
days past. Activity was for the most part
confined to the specialties and the extreme
range in the price of many leading rail
road stocks did not exceed % to 44.
London was a seller of Americans again.
The Grangers were remarkably dull and
sluggish in spite of the St. Paul statement
for the fourth week in November showing
a level of earnings, notwithstanding the
bad weather prevailing. There was a
slight pressure of realizing sales in North
ern, Union and Central Pacific, but In the
case of the latter there was a subsequent
rebound of 1%. Sugar dropped a sharp
fraction at the opening on rumors of
further reduction in the price of the pro
duet.Partfic Mail was also a strong fea
ture and moved up to 40% on the good bus
iness outlook for the company. There
was a resumption of the upward move
ment in Federal Steel and apparent sym
pathetic advances in Tennessee Iron and
Colorado Fuel. The decrease in surplus
reserve, shown by the bank statement,
was due to increased requirements on ac
count of the deposit increase.
In the bond market the course of prices
has been continually upward during the
week on a large and well distributed vol
ume of business. United States 2’s, the
3’s and new 4's, and the s’s, registered,
have advanced % and the obi 4 sand the
s’s, coupon, >44 in the bid price.
The total sales of stocks were 191,700

BABOONS AND THE BOA.
Bierce Battle In a Zoological Gar
den.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Two big baboons In the zoo made things
very warm for the keepers, or the specta
tors, and, Incidentally, an anaconda. The
services of the reptile, the natural enemy
of the baboon, were employed to conquer
the animals and make them retreat Into
their cage. For a time it looked as if a
fight to a finish would be fought.
The baboons are of the so-called ursine
variety. They are extremely ugly. In ap
pearance, suggesting a creature that might
be a cross between a dog and a pig. They
are quite ferocious, and very sensitive to
surrounding conditions, being easily ex
cited.
On this day a thunder-storm excited
them, while hundreds of people were
watching them. The male baboon, w ho
is as big as a full-grown mastiff, and who
has whiskers all around Ills face, struck
again and again at the women standing
near the cage, while the female turned
her attention to the men. On one of these
fistic sorties Mr. Baboon tore a woman's
hat off, seizing It by un Incredibly swift
movement. A man got bis nose pulled by
madame, and another lost his gold-headed
cane, which he was pointing at the lady
from South Africa.
A little while later the keeper appeared
to put the baiioons to bed—that is, lq open
the trap-door connecting the day cage
with the well-heated inner apartment,
where the animals sleep on mattresses
and under flannel quilts like the more
fortunate among their human cousins.
But Mr. and Mrs. Baboon did not see
It that way. They refused to go and ex
hibited their teeth to the keeper and
threatened him by repeated lunges of their
long arms pushed between the bars. The
keeper tried all means of kindly persua
sion. He placed beautiful bananas—a
great luxury in Vienna—near the trap
door, hoping that the apes, after picking
them up, would condescind to enter their
sleeping apartment. They gathered in the
fruit and retired to the highest branch of
the tree that stands in the middle of the
cage.
The keeper then prodded the animals
with long staffs, but the male baboon seiz
ed one of them, smashed it into kindling
wood, and discharged the iron point at the
keeper's head. Next pitch torches were
tried. Baboons, as a general thing, are
afraid of fire, but in their excited state
they <lsl not mind the yellow flames and
black smoke.
The keeper, becoming desperate, now
bethought himself of an extraordinary
method. Knowing well the fear all mon
keys and apes display In the presence of
snakes, he brought in his largest boa con
strictor. "I will only have to show that
to the baboons," he said, “to drive them
into their bedroom.” The director entered
the monkey house, which Is a cage of
about twenty cubic feet, furnished, as
stated, with a many-branched tree, a wa
ter basin, and blocks of wood that serve
as scats. The boa, which he carried on
his shoulder and arm, Is a native of Bra
zil and nearly thirteen feet long. Its head
is thick and It has a peculiarly Rhaped
tail, with a claw attachment, by which It
can hold the stump or the branches of a
tree as In a vise.
When the director entered the cage the
apes jumped from the tree and made a
Joint attempt to tear down the iron bars.
.Some of the latter were actually bent and
loosened, top and bottom. But, becoming
aware that they were wasting their
strength, the baboons returned to the tree
and bombarded the director and his assist
ants with nuts, eggs and stones, which
1 they fished from their capacious cheek
pouches.
Then the director tried to set loose the
snake, but the boa turned upon him and
bit him in the cheek, live of its long teeth
piercing the flesh and bone. A second
later the keeper, who ran to his mast> r's
assistance, was bitten through the calf of
the leg. These bites tire not fatal, as the
boa has no pois.onous fangs.
The baboons no sooner eaught sight of
their hereditary enemy than their previous
excitement Increased to frenzy. Their
howls were terrible to hear. They tore
through the cage like a whirlwind, making
tremendous Jumps or running with Inde
scribabie swiftness. Now they were hang
ing by one arm from the top of the cage,
the next moment they crouched in a cor
ner. showing their long teeth, their black,
•tubby mam s raised In terror, their cheeks
apparently swollen out of all proportion.
Th- director says the moment he entered
with the Herpent both baboons tried to
make for the trap door, which they recog
nized to be- their only salvation.
