(By Wire to Gink & Co.) New York, April 24. Since the opening of the market May has been in fair supply at 15 points over July. Early in the session the offerings of July were rather lib eral and local traders were encour aged to sell short, so when the early pressure was removed some outside orders to buy hastened covering of shorts. The uncertainty of May op erations checks business, but not more so than the dual factors of the de mand on this decline and the early encouraging crop outlook. Market conditions are almost on balance for the time being, but the renewed de mand for eastern and southern mills is again in evidence and the premiums for good cotton Is woll maintained, and at many Interior points cotton commands the same price per pound ns when New York was 30 points higher. C. D. FREEMAN & CO. COTTON PICKINGS. Purnlshed for Daily Herald Reader, by Clark ft Co, Liverpool simply “followed suit" and came 3 down. Sales were 10.000, but spots showed a net loss of 5 points Is a bad feature. Europe reported “no speculation at all, and everybody believing In a rec ord-breaking acreage.” Our opening was very tame. There Is little outside business. The market is almost wholly profes sional. Buffalo, Tex., came to the front by reporting an Increased acreage of 40 per cent. This crop certainly got off running. If the acreage is Increased 10 per cent., as some very smart people seem to think, It will be practically the same—32,000,000—os when a crop of 13,700,000 came to town. . This is undoubtedly the best fertil ized crop the South has ever planted. On the big crop the Texas yield was “cut” 000,000 bales by the boll weevil. Do not forget that we can make 14,- 000,000 bales ngaln. Fair weather and poor spot demand has made Price’s campaign a frost. Old Sol continued to smile all over the belt; from Texas they wire, “One can almost hear the tap Root take Root” This Is probably an exagger ation. Port receipt? were «20,000, against 35,000 last year. Liverpool's close was 2 to 3 lower. The market had about as much life as a ’Frisco earthquake victim. NEW ORLEAN8 COTTON LETTER. By wtro to Clark Oo. Now Orlenns, La., April 24. Cables, while noting with some sat isfaction the Improvement In prices In Liverpool, were nevertheless inclined to view the present market with some misgiving and rather expected lower levels on account of the very favor able weathor conditions and the fact that speculation has been checked ma terially by the great disaster that has befallen San Francisco. Options were lower than the previous day’s close by 2 points, while 10,000 bales of spots were sold at a decline of 5 points. Our market on the opening failed to respond to the surprisingly good show ing made abroad, but soon thereafter some support In the shape of scat tered buying brought about a healthy reaction which In the nature of things was more or less expected when the rather severe decline of yesterday Is remembered, and the additional strength resulted from good buying reported In the eastern market. Taken ns a whole the government's weekly report of the weather was ex ceedingly favorable, only here and there were reports received Indicating a lack of moisture, while the apparent frequency of rains in Texas was con sidered beneficial. The numerous at tempts that have been made to further advance prices, when all Indications have been favorable, have resulted In little more than temporary, while on the other hand declines have been brought about with excessive pressure, being seemingly so easy of accom plishment that public opinion, having been sorely tried by heralded bull campaigns, has found some consola tion In adhering to that side which finds more favor In the eyes of the trade generally.

A Bret Harte Joke. 8am Davis of Nevada once made a, wager that he could successfully Imi tate the style of any living or dead pdet and do It so thoroughly that, the T difference was not discernible and that ’ the public, the press and the critic* would not detect the fraud. As a re sult he wrote “Bluley and 40,” to which he signed F. Bret Ilnrte’s name. The fake was put out in n publication known ns the Open Lot toy. ft describ ed an engineer who took his train through a snowstorm in the Sierras, dy ing at his post. From the Atlantic to the Pacific the poem v.v.s copied. Rinley and 40” was given n full page In Leslie’s Weekly, with a portrait of Bret Harte, nud described as “the best short poem of the decade.” It was many years before Mr. Harte denied Its nuthorslilp.

No one Is ever surprised In a dreanfc A man dreaming is at one moment bathing in the sea and at the next mo ineut souring In a balloon, but the sud den and inexplicable change does not surprise him, nor is he surprised to meet In the flesh friends long dead, nor is ho surprised to find himself doing deeds that really are beyond him. The reason is that dreamers have no mem ory. In real life to be pursued through the struts by n lion would be astonish ing, but this accident would be accept ed in a dream as horrible, but quite commonplace, the memory not being there to say that it It is unheard of for lions to pursue one in cities. In the so me way, In dreams, men are not sur prised to find themselves ballooning be cause they don’t remember that they were never up in a balloon before, and they are not surprised to find them selves conversing with dead people be cause they don’t remember that these people are dead.—New York Press. )SS BKOS.&C?

When they met on Chestnut street after some months in which they hadn’t seen each other the one chap told the other he had taken a little house in Germantown and was there with his lares, penates and coal bill. “Come up and see me some evening—any even ing. We’re rarely out, you know, and. then, we have a telephone, so you can let us know when you’re coming.” “I suppose your name Is In the tele phone directory?” queried the other. “Well, no, not yet. as we’ve Just got j the telephone, but our number Is—is— i 1^1 TST I\8Tf0n8l |^8flK really It’s funny, but just this minute ’ I can’t—It’s something like— Ding it all, It’s strange I forget that number, for just on purpose I multiplied It by two and divided the result by four, so as to enable me to remember it, and I can’t recall the first thing about it Ever know the like?
