NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTEa
By wire to Clark & Co.
New Orleans, May 18.
The only Interesting feature of the
foreign market was the magnitude of
spot sales, which in all probability
caused some further short covering In
the summer months and the conse
quent Improvement reported on the
opening of options, although cnbles
were lacking to throw any light on
the situation. Spot sales were 16.000
bales, 1 point down, while options
were b'nroly steady on the close and
lower by 2 points than yesterday’s final
close.
The opening of the local market was
featureless In the extreme, but prices
on the call were stendy on the contin
ued excellence of business done In Liv
erpool, bears ostensibly by a little har
monious action, brought about a de
cline, but In reality the shrinkage In
values could more reasonably be at
tributed to the fact that the prevailing
apathetic condition of the spot market
was at InBt beginning to assert itself.
The favorable weather map likewise
served ns an Incentive to further ag
gressiveness on the part of the short
contingent, yot the visible statement
to be Issued this afternoon will, in nil
probahnllty, show a further improve
ment In the statistical position of the
present crop, nnd the very satisfac
tory demand for cotton that spinners
have ovtnccd during the past week
portends an excellent comparison with
former weekly mil! takings as ob
served of lnte.
However, as long ns tile weather re
mains favorable and crop reports are
promising, It will be difficult to sus
tain prices at any higher levels.
Yours truly,
GIBERT & CLAY.

COTTON PICKINGS
Furnished for Dally Herald Readers
by Clark & Cc
Again, for the fifth time this week,
Manchester sninners raided the Liver
pool market and bought everything
offered. of 15.000 bales at G.°5
is simply wonderful.
The cnnM^.nt bought heavily in
Liverpool today.
Will a crop of 11,000,000 keep them
going?
New York and New Orleans cannot
advance as long as the South contin
ues to sell the fall and winter months.
Speculation Is the friend the staple
needs most just now.
Latham. Alexander & Co. estimate
the acreage at 28,000,000.
The Bell will soon begin to toll for
shorts in summer positions.
Sir Camnbell-Bannermnnn was able
to give Manchester oninners little
comfort in their request for the gov
ernment to open up cotton-growing
territory.
Port receipts were 19,000, against
25,000 last year.
Again the weather was favorable on
the growing crop.
In spite of heavy spot sales, Liver
pool waB dull speculatively, and closed
quiet and steady, 2 down.

OCEAN ROPES.
!A Marine Plant That Growa a Stem
Three Hundred Feet Lone.
The largest marine plant and proba
bly one of the highest plants known on
this globe is a gigantic seaweed, the
nereocystls, the stem of which has
been found to grow as much as 300
feet long. It was first discovered not
far from the Alaskan coast, but has
since been found floating in various
parts of the Pacific ocean along the
American and Asiatic shores. This
seaweed grows in a very curious man
ner. Large quantities of it are found
fit a little distance from shore and at
depths not exceeding 300 feet. On
loamy bottoms large thickets of this
plant take root, and a stem of the
thickness of ordinary cord grows up
ward. At Its top there is a pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stem,
nnd when It reaches the surface of the
water It often measures six feet and
more In length, with a diameter of four
feet six Inches. This balloon has, of
course, an upward tendency and keeps
the stem growing until It floats on the
surface of the water. From the top of
this balloon a large tuft of strong,
thick, spadcllke leaves grow out, which
originally are not more than two feet
long and which grow nnd split until
from the bnlloou a roselike growth of
from fifty to sixty-five feet in diame-
,ter covers the water. This gigantic
weed grows in such quantities that
near the shore largo meadowlike is
lands are formed, which impede navi
gation. The natives of the Aleutian
Islands make manifold usage of this
plant. From their strong dried stems
they make ropes 250 feet and more
long, while balloons of this weed fur
nish them with large vessels after they
are dried, the smaller ones being used
In their boats to ball out water. The
long leaves, after beiug dried, are cut
Into narrow strips and used for wicker
work, the making of baskets and simi
lar furniture.
LAPP WOLF HUNTERS.
Swift IlunnerM on SnownhoeN Make
N Short Work of the Draten.
The Swedish Lapps live entirely
with, by nnd upon their reindeer. A
Lapp who owns a thousand deer Is a
very rich man: but, ns taxes are as
sessed upon the nrmber of deer, he is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous eneipy to the herd
is the wolf, who, If so disposed, can
kill thirty deer in a night. A band of
wolves can make a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow is deep and soft mid
it is announced that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood eL the
deer the swiftest runners on fnow-
shoes prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of a mile
or two, but the track it leaves in the
deep, soft snow is bo prominent that
the hunters can follow it at their best
speed.
The wolf, though he may run fast,
has but slight chance of escaping the
short men who on snowshoes rush
through the wood, dart down steep
hills and jump from ledges several
yards in height Each hunter does his
best to outrun the others, for the wolf
belongs to the Lapp who strikes the
first blow. As soon a9 the leading
hunter Is close enough to the wolf he
gives it a heavy blow across the loins
with his strong spiked snowshoe staff.
If there are other wolves to be pur
sued. he kills it outright; if not, he
disables it and waits till all the hunt
ers arrive before giving the deatji
stroke.

ron sends it when you want it
