NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
By wire to Clark A Co.
• New Orleans, May 22.
Liverpool furnished as uninteresting
a market as has prevailed- of late
around the American rings. Accord
ing to cables options were Influenced
by the favorable weather reports, and
on the close showed a loss of 4 points
over yesterday, while sales .of spot cot
ton amounted to 10,000 bales, 5 points
lower.
In the local market, the further
liquidation of a small amount of long
commitments brought prices down
lower, but values before the issuance
of the weekly crop report steadied con
siderably in anticipation of a more
unfavorable statement, which as it
turned out, was more or less feature-
loss with a> lack of moisture generally
reported.
So little interest is manifested in
market affairs that even with the pub
lication of some important Item direct
ly affecting the trade, little or no con
cern is manifested by those most in
terested. The loss of 9,000 bales of
cotton by fire out of a comparatively
small total stocks, would in ordinary
times appear to be viewed seriously,
especially when part, if not all, of the
Insured cotton was probably destined
for delivery on tho current month’s
contract.
But as was actually the case in the
enstern market, where the loss oc
curred Inst night, the May option not
only failed to advance, but in reality
shrunk in value. And thus is It that
influences are futile when directly they
go against the grain of the major sen
timent. Yours truly,
GIBERT & CLAY.
The Southern Cotton Growers' Asso
ciation issued a report making the
aerfeage increase 2.76 per cent. Once
again, for the one thousandth time,
they have made themselves the laugh
ing Stock of the world.
The Southern Cotton Growers’ As
sociation say that 2,000,000 acres will
have to be abandoned cn account of
scarcity of labor. What rot!
In ninety days the new crop.will he
coming In. Liverpool has stock suffi
cient to run them until Sept. 1.
Let all bulls and all “would-be bulls”
remember that price regulates con
sumption, and 10 cents is a fair price:
for our great southern product.
It is pretty well conceded by “people
In the knew” that 30.000,000 acres
have been planted in cotton, and that
same all came up, has been chopped
to a good stand, and is now in perfect
condition.
Twelve million bales would he only
an average crop on present acreage. I
The market has few friends,
looks as If it will work lower.
and
The high wind that is blowing today
is making the male element put aside
the straw hat for the felt.
Notice to Elks.
The regular meeting of Albany
Lodge No. 713 tomorrow night will be
the last prior to the meeting of
State Association next week. It is
therefore important that all members
of the lodge be present, as many
ters in which the lodge is interested
will be considered. It is particularly
urgent that all chairman of commit
tees he present prepared to report
progress.

IlatcliInK Eg«« In the Month.
Some curious examples of the egg
laying habits of certain frogs are re
lated by naturalists. The female of
one species, a species which was re
cently exhibited at a meeting of the
Zoological society, carries tiie eggs
about in her mouth until they are
hatched. When the young emerge they
are tadpoles, lint fully formed, though,
of course, diminutive frogs. An Amer
ican tree frog, again, has a pouch
along the whole extent of its back, in
which the eggs are carried until hatch
ed. It is tho Nototrcnm marsupiatum
of zoologists, the name referring to
this curious habit. The case of the
Surinam toad is equally* curious. In
this species the male places tho eggs,
one by one. in hollows in the loose skin
on tho back of tho female, whore they
are developed.—Loudon Globe.

Waiting: to Be Found.
Lost one evening in a side street off
Charing Cross; a small terrier came
for the next six days at nightfall to the
same spot, waiting to be “found” and
scanning eagerly every passerby. The
constable on the boat got to know her
wistful little face and the .bright silver
collar she wore quite well, but she was
never to be seeu by daylight. It was
only on the sixth evening, half starved
and weak with waiting, that she al
lowed herself to be captured aiul taken
to the dogs’ home at Battersea, where
she was eventually claimed by her
owner.—St. James’ Gazette.
Her Gift.
A Lancashire vicar was asked by the
1 choir to call upon old Betty, who was
deaf, but who insisted in joining in the
solo of the anthem, and to ask her only
to sing in the hymns. He shonted into
her ear, “Betty, I’ve been requested to
speak to you about your singing!” At
last she caught the word “singing” and
I replied: “Not to me be the praise, sir.
1 Ifs a ‘gift* ” •
Everybody on the streets this morn
ing showed that they had changed
clothes after the effects of the events
of yesterday afternoon.
Some household furniture, bought
on the installment plan and never
fully paid for, was sold in front of the
courthouse this morning.
Most of the. people here have very
gracefully conformed to the closing
hour of the stores. Thi3 has always
been the case wherever it was tried.
The crowd at the baseball park this
afternoon will not be very large, it is
feared, the elements conspiring to
keep the people* at home.
A lot of private paving of side
walks in front of residences is being
done now. The benefits of tiling are
so apparent, especially at a time like
this, that owners of residences that
can be reached only by a bad sidewalk
don’t hesitate to better conditions,
even at their own expense.
