Now Orleans, Marfh 6.—The ease with which prices declined In the for eign market was directly traceable to the liquidation of some long commit ments and options lost six points from Saturday’s close. The continued ex cellence of spot transactions is again evident by sales of 12,000 hales at a decline of two points. The lower opening In our own mar ket Is mostly sympathetic In charac ter, ns Liverpool had failed to do her full share in ''meeting expectations. The undertone ruled firm throughout, but, there being no speculative Interest n n tic on bio, a rather limited amount of business was done. The continued ab sence of good trade filterings of spot cotton In the face of a steady demand for such types Is a peculiar situation^ which la causing some little nervous ness In the ranks of importers who have committments to fulfill. The pnst week weather - conditions have been more favorable than other- wtae for farm work, although In some localities progress had boon retarded through excessive moisture. Fore casts for today nnd tomorrow are rather indicative of further ruins and unfavorable weather generally, which should oxevt some temporary Influence upon market prices, ns the trade soenm to display more imd more sensi tiveness to reports from tills source than to other momentary causes. Tile lack of speculative Interest, and the consequent narrow range in values, have caused scalping conditions to ex ist for so lengthy i, period that only a new order of tilings of a drastic na ture can occur to awaken the present Port receipts were 12,000 against 29,000 last year! Preparation for the new crop aver age about two weeks late throughout the belt. Havre cables: French spinners neglecting poqrer grades, but are strong bidders for middling and up, This lias been the mildest winter In twenty years. It is said by some that we have not had enough cold weather to kill the insect life. T Liverpool closed day. 5 down for tho THE ISLAND OF FIRE- Javn’N Wonderful Lnlce of Bolling Mini nnd Slime. Tbo greatest natural wonder In Java, If riot In tho entire world, is tho justly celebrated Gheko Knuidka Gumbo, or Home of the Hot Devils, known to the world as the Island of Fire. This geo logical singularity is really a lake o( boiling mud situated at about the cen ter of the plalus of Grobogana and Is called an island because tho great em erald sea of vegetation which surrounds It gives it that appearance. The island is about two miles In circumference nnd Is situated at a distance of almost exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the center of this geological freak immense columns of soft hot mud may be seen continually rising and falling like great timbers thrust through the boiling sub stratum by giant bands and then, again quickly withdrawn. Besides the phe nomenon of boiling mud columns there are Scores of gigantic bubbles of hot slime that till up like huge balloons and keep up a series of constant explosions, the Intensity of the detonations vary ing with the size of the bubble. In times past, so the Javanese authorities say. there was a tall, spirelike column of baked mud on the west side of the lake which constantly belched a pure stream of cold water, but this has long been obliterated, and everything is now a soothing mass of bubbling mud and slime, a marvel to the visitors who come from great distances to see It.
