NEW ORLEAN8 COTTON LETTER,
By wire to Clark & Co.
New Orleans, May 23.
The disappointment that Liverpool
furnished this morning was probably
due to the continued favorable reports
of the weather affecting the growing
crop. • Cables intimated that the local
operators have had large selling or
ders throughout the past week and the
chances were not in favor of an im
provement. Options on the close were
unchanged to 1 lower and spot sales
aggregated 10,000 bales at an advance
of 3 points.
An improved undertone pervaded
the market during the day, which in
the earlier morning could in all prob
ability be attributed to the unsettled
condition of the weather, especially
over the eastern states, where a storm
area is reported. Rains have fallen
there where they are most needed, as
has also been the ease in Texas and
the western belt. Later in the day a
very much better demand for spot
cotton was made manifest and-prices
showed a slight improvement in con
sequence of this reawakened influ
ence.
Manipulation for the moment has
even ceased to take a conspicuous po
sition, and the market left alone
flounders along With no well defined
tendency, narrowly governed from
time to time by natural condition and
sorely in need of the influence of a
more widespread and general interest.
Yours truly,
GIBERT & CtAY.
COTTON PICKINGS.
Furnished for Daily Herald Readers
by Clark & Co.
Until the government acreage re
port comes to enlighten the trade and
broaden out the market, speculative
impulse can hardly be looked for.
Price is suspiciously silent.
It is expected that the government
will show an increase in acreage of
at least 10 per cent.
THE SHARK HUNTERS.
The agricultural bureau cotton re
port will be issued Monday, June 4,
about 1 p. m. It will show the acre
age of cotton planted this year and
the condition of the growing crop on
May 25.
The estimate for today is 15,000,
against 19,600 last year.
Liverpool was due 3 up this morning
and came only 2 up, with sales of 8,000
bales. Spots, 6.16—2 off from yester
day’s close. i
The boll weevil is reported to have
done some damage in parts of south
western Texas.
Rain has fallen over the entire belt,
and the forecast for today and to
morrow is for showers, with brisk
winds.
The most that can be said in defense
of the local habit of self-indulgence in
soft drinks is that the indulger alone
suffers from it The Buffering has no
effect, though, in breaking the habit
Horrible bnt Alleged Painless Way
the Fish Are Killed.
The strictly commercial business of
shark hunting is done in small sloops
whose headquarters are in the more
northerly Norwegian ports. The crews
are for the most part made up of pure
blooded descendants of the vikings,
who are still to be found In any num
ber among tho.codflsbers of Hamraer-
fest of Tromso. And a magnificent
race of men they are! Accustomed
from boyhood to a life of hardship,
they have a way of treating Father
Neptune with a slightly contemptuous
toleration, like an old friend, of some-
wbnt uncertain temper, whose .rapid
changes from smiling benevolence to
wild, blustering anger are on the whole
rather amusing than otherwise.
They care nothing for .danger and
little for suffering—in themselves or in
others. Why, then, should they stop
to think that perhaps a maimed but
still living shark can feel?
The fishing is done off the coast of
Iceland in about eighty fathoms of wa
ter. Three or four gallows-like struc
tures are rigged up around the sides of
the sloop *and from each of these hangs
a pulley block, over which runs a
strong rope, and to the end of this the
baited hook is fastened. A plentiful
supply of ground halt is thrown out to
attract the quarry, nnd such is the ea
gerness with which the sharks take the
bait that sometimes each one of these
gallows-like fishing rods will have its
fish booked and fighting for life all at
the same time.
There is no “playing” the fish. It is
not necessary or possible, and the pow
erful tackle is hardly likely to break,
no matter liow fiercely the hooked
shark may struggle. But the shark is
not for his size a game fish, and except
when he is actually being hoisted out
of the water there is no very serious
strain on the tackle. If he does now
and then get away it is not because he
ever manages to break the line, but be
cause a lightly fixed hook easily tears
through the soft cartilaginous skeleton
of his head and so sets him free.
As soon as a shark has taken one of
the halts the hauling tackle attached to
his particular gallows is manned, and
without any superfluous fuss or cere
mony lie is hauled up to the sloop nnd
hoisted just clear of the water.
He is not brought on board at all.
but with a few hold slashes his liver is
cut out as he hangs and is thrown Into
a tub to he further dealt with later.
Then his eyes are put out, and he is
cut adrift to to and complete the tardy
process of dying where and how he
pleases.
All this sounds very horrible, but
there is one curious fact which goes
far to make us believe that this death
cannot, after nil, be such a cruel one
as at first appears. It is this, the fisher
men say—that unless they put out the
shark’s eyes he will afterward cause
them a lot of trouble by coming and
taking the halt a second time.
It sounds incredible, but the state
ment is thoroughly well authenticated
by eyewitnesses who have seen a liver-
less shark do just this very thing. Sci
entists doubtless are right in saying
that the shark (which by anatomical
classification is one of the lowest of
the fishes) does not feel pain in the
way more highly organized animals
feel it. We will cling to that belief, for
it is consoling—to us, if not to the
shark, who is thus sacrificed that bis
liver may supply us with—what?
It is a secret not to be spoken aloud.
Norway is one of the great centers of
the cod trade, nnd from cod is made
cod liver oil. and shark’s liver oil tastes
and looks exactly like it.—Pearson’s
Magazine.
Tlic Nntnre of nn Oatli.
Some years ago a case was on trial
before the judge of a court in a city
adjoining Boston in which among the
numerous witnesses for the defense
was a decidedly ignorant appearing
nnd shiftless looking colored man
named Jones, who was to testify as to
an alibi.
He was finally called, and the usual
oath was about to be administered,
when the attorney for the prosecution
arose and addressed his honor, sug
gesting that Mr. Jones be interrogated
ns to his understanding of the solem
nity of nn oath. The judge therefore
asked the witness if he understood the
nature of an oath, to which he replied,
“Yes. sail.”
“Well,” said his honor, “what is it?”
To which Mr. Jones immediately re
plied, “When you tell a lie, stick to it.”
—Boston Herald.
Self Control.
A Boston woman was standing on a
street crossing waiting for a car when
a box of powdered charcoal fell from
a passing wagon and broke open. The
beautiful light dress she was wearing
was ruined by the dust The driver,
who stopped to recover the package,
saw the damage and said, “I am very
•orry, ma’am.” The woman bowed
and replied, “It was not your fault,
sir.” He that taketh a city is indeed a
small person beside the possessor of
such self control as that—Youth’s
Companion.
