Trade THE ALBANY COCA-COLA Exclusive Bottlers to the Trade. BOTTLING CO. 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.
