Again the English showed their
"fondness” for the real article by buy
ing 12,000 bales. Futures were 2 to 3
better. Steady market, this.
One of the most convenient articles of
household equipment is an iron heating
furnace. It is clean; saves time and trouble
and insures a hot fire all the time.
It does away with stooping over the grate
or running to the kitchen every time you want
a hot iron. It is light and can be carried to
any room in the house. 85c to $1.35 each.

NEW ORLEAN8 COTTON LETTER.
(By Wire to Clark ft Co.)
New Orleans, March 6. — The Idea
was generally entertained In the for
eign market that'the liquidation which
had been the feature pt the preceding
day’s session had run its course. The
report seemed to be confirmed by. the
steady advance of prices today, op
tions gaining 6 points from the lower
opening and closing 3 over yesterday’s
levels. Spot sales, 12,000 bales at 1
point decline.
The trading In the looal market was
of no especial significance, being con
fined chiefly to ring scalping. The
advanced opening caused some scat
tered selling on the part of Buch pper-
ators, hut all offerings were readily
absorbed, and the market steadily
strengthened its position. The up
ward tendency of Liverpool likewise
had its sympathetic effect on the un
dertone while the spat market Bhows
no material improvement in so far as
the class of offerings Is concerned,
nevertheless the business done today
has beetf comparatively large. The
demand for hlg'n^grades continues un-
nbated, but the exporter finds himself
confronted with the difficulty of ful
filling his up-grade Engagements. The
most noteworthy fact about today’s
improvement in prices was the pro
pensity displayed by the market In
bulling itself. Lett alone and running
oh their own merits, the futu-e posi
tions slowly but steadily rose in value.
Underlying influences have been and
are present,, but heretofore the trade
has indifferently passed them by and
the better conditions prevailing seem
to have emanated not so much from
any particular source but more from
a combination of causes inspired by
the better undertone that now exists.
The weather map was in reality bet
ter than yesterday’s predictions justi
fied. .Receipts for the day estimated
at some 33,000 bales arc large, but
not in comparison with last year's 50,-
000 for the same day. Today’s clear
ances from this port are 20,000 hales
and exports likewise are supposedly
thought to be heavy. We are inclined
to believe in higher prices, but we
would not overlook the acceptance of
reasonable profits, especially as re
actions will afford further opportuni
ties tor profitable scalping operations.
GIBERT & CLAY.
Weil Bros. Issued a circular stating
that, while there would undoubtedly
be some Increase in acreage and use
of fertilisers, • the size of the next
crop would depend entirely on the
seasons. Overcropping when labor Is
scarce is just about the worst move
a planter can make.
The market continues to be a scalp
ing affair of ten points either way,
with no one possessing nerve enough
to sell the market down.
The Southern Cotton Association
says It Is “In possession of positive
Information that exporters’ commit
ments for March delivery are very
heavy," and advises planters to hold
"firmer than ever." ‘ ♦
Port receipts today were 33,000,
against 50,000 last year. We are run
ning about 60 per cent below laBt
year. Texas has evidently "run out.”
Price said he would leave
Springs for home in ten days.

Exporters for Russian account were
eager bidders for the better grades.
Liverpool ruled very steady
throughout the day and closed 5 high

LIFELESS RIDERS.

Horror* of War.
A veteran of tlie British urmy in In
dia once saw a at range sight on a bat
tlefield. As be tells the story a squad
ron of cavalry hud been held In reserve
under cover of a field battery and an
infantry regiment. The artillery duel
had ended. The assault o! ’he enemy
In overwhelm lug numbers La.I been re
pulsed by the steadiness of the Ininn-
try. While a elqud’of smoke hung over
the field the cavalry received an older
to charge with drawn sabers.
The troopers started In close order for
the eneiny’R line. Midway they met a
destructive fire from earthworks In
front of them and from tb^ woods on
their flank. A young cavalryman, with
his saber drawn, was shot in the heart
while leading In the first file. The horse
halted, swerved to the right and turned
back, but the rider kept bik seat with
out flinchiug. The other troopers went
on, carried the earthwork by storm,
rode at full gallop after the retreating
force and converted defeat into rout.
The dead trooper meanwhile was re
turning with white face and with the
blood streaming from his wound. Un
der his nerveless hand the horse re
ceived neither check uor leading and
made its own way toward the Infantry,
which was now advancing rapidly. As
the smoke lifted the soldiers saw the
solitary rider coming, with one hand In
a death grip upon the saddle, while the
other still held the sword rigidly
clasped.
It was a sight never to be forgotten—
tlie galloping horse, with the dead cav
alryman still mounted and looking grim
and fierce. It was not until the rider
had gone fifty yards from the spot
where he had been killed tbnt be rolled
off the horse.
A similar story is told of Captain No
lan, who delivered the fatal blundering
order for the charge of the famous Light
brigade. He was seen on the field of
Balaklava, riding from the hills where
the staff officers were drawn up to the
quarter where the brigade was station
ed. The charge began, and what was
left of the brigade returned in broken
groups.
At last Captain Nolan was seen gal
loping rapidly toward the center of the
field. He was firmly seated, straight as
an arrow and riding well. Suddenly
the horse swerved and the rider toppled
over.
The officers who were nearest rushed
forward, but when they lifted him from
the ground they found him lifeless.
Like the Indian saberman, he had been
shot and instantly killed, but bis horse
had carried him safely across the field,
out of the reach of the pursuing Cos
sacks.
