cents yesterday at which a good demand
developed from exporters and a number
of orders were allowed to go over until
Monday. The tone of the market is now
a very healthy one, and the uncertainty
of the past week seems to be at an end.
The exports are satisfactory and with
vessels arriving to take away the stocks
which the exporters have on hand a
strong demand is looked for during the
coming week. Factors have been apply
ing receipts freely to contracts heretofore
aid will doubtliss be ready to meet the
and ma and. Sales cf only iOO casks were
posted at the Board of Trade yesterday;

COTTON FUTURES.
■New York, June 16.—The market for
cotton futures opened easy in tone, with
prices 1 to 3 points lower and further sold
off later under pressure from bulls and
bears, who were influenced by good weath
er reports, a friendly Chronicle staiement
of the week’s developments in the belt
and disappointing English cubles. Absence
of .speculative support added to the irreg
ularity, as also did the rumor that cloth
markets were dull end lower. After the
first burst of trading, business settled
down to a professional week-end settlement
ef accounts and prices vared but little
from the early decline. Sentiment was not
over decided, though rather inclined to
tire bear'e side under encouraging weather
predictions and good crop reports from
Texas. The foreign clement took an indif
ferent part in forenoon operations on the
local exchange and Influential Interests,
which had figured so prominently during
the forepart of the week, filled to appear
ns traders. Mdch of the cotton sold com
prised holdings piled up early In the week
on the belief that a strong New Orleans
"clique" was going to push July and Au
gust to 9 cents. The bears were disposed
to be conservative and extended commit
ments with great caution.

the trouble in China were the reasons for
Liverpool losing the greater part of the
improvement. Our market slowly receded
from the opening on realizing by yester
day s buyers. Liverpool bought a few Au
gust. otherwise Europe did nothing. A re
volt in China against foreigners must se
riously affect the sale of cotton goods
throughout that large market for Ameri
can and English manufacturers. It also
unsettled the relations between the Euro
pean Powers. It is greatly exaggerated,
yet it keeps people from buying cotton
goods for export. Onthe other hand, Liv
erpool has so poor a selection of cotton
and small a slock that the local operat
ors there are tempted to try manipulation
on the nearby deliveries. Memphis dis
tricts need dry weather, otherwise the
crop conditions are Improving, especially
In Texas.
New York, June 16.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool l-32d higher on spots;
sales 5,000 bales. Futures only % point
up on old and about l-64d on new crop.
These advices were not up to expectations
of the locals, and consequently the market
opened 2 to 4 points off on old and 1 point
on new crop, weakened further after open
ing on local and Southern selling. Rains
are again reported this morning at points
in Gulf states where dry weather Is need
ed.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, June 16.—The stock market
to-day abandoned the altitude of waiting,
in which it has been so long steadfast,
and gave itself over to active liquidation,
with all the appointments of a state ot
alarm-. Two expected Incidents were
the cause of this change. First of these
was the action, of the directors of the
Northern Pacific, announced after busi
ness hours yesterday, in reducing the div
idend on the common stock. This wa ac
cepted as a well considered and well in
formed decision from conservative author
ities that a serious shortage In the*whea;
crop in the Northwest was to be faced
this year, and a period of declining rail
road earning's was to be expected as a
result of this, and the reaction In general
business. The effect was pronounced on
the stocks of grain-carrying roads, espe.
dally In the Northwest, and the rather
numerous group of stocks which have
risen in price on score of good earnings,
and hopes of liberal dividend disburse
ments. The policy of extreme coneerva
'ism In dividend disbursements adopted by
the Northern Pacific, it was taken for
granted, would have an influence on other
railroad directors. The report of a strlko
of employes of the Tennessee Coal Com
pany weakened that stock and other steel
stocks by sympathy. This might be call
ed the first phase of the abort Saturday
session. By the end of the first hour,
what with the demand from shorts to
cover and supporting orders by the friends
of different stocks, the decline had been
arrested and the pressure of liquidation
relaxed at a rally In prices.
The second and' decisive phase began
with a resumption of realizing In some
stocks, and was precipitated Into acute
weakness by the publication of the bulle
tin reporting the destruction of the for
eign legations at Pekin, and the killing
of the German minister there. This,
though without official confirmation, was
accepted as throwing the Chinese situa
tion into an acute stage, and the market
which has been waiting in hopes of a
peaceful and satisfactory solution of Ihut
problem, threw over stocks In heavy vol
ume. After a momentary pause when
room shorts began to cover, the decline
was renewed and the closing was active
and weak at the lowest. The principal
active stocks lost from 1 to 2% points, as
a result of the two hour* trading. North
ern Pacific shows a loss of 4%. Great
Northern preferred 4, and Minneapolis
and St. Louis preferred 3 points
The bond market fully shared In the
dullness of the stock market, and the
movement of prices was not important.
United States new 4’s have advanced %,
and the s's % In the bid price.

The Abifncf of Fear of Maa In tka
Makeup of This Great Ben Bird.
From the Cornhill Magazine.
By the time that we had approached
Tristan da Cunha three or four spec lea
of albatross had congregated round the
ship, as many as thirty birds settling on
the water astern in a manner highly satis
factory for close and continuous observa
tion. After half a gale of wind a lull not
infrequently occurs, when the speed is re
duced to two or three knots; then the hun
gry creatures literally clamor for food.
Directly n bird intends to alight the lega
appear straddling downward In ungainly
fashion—;t moment when even an albatrosa
looks lik an ill balanced goose of un
weildy size. For half a minute it runs
along the surface of the waves, treading
water, so to apeak, until the enormous
wings become manageable. Then the bird
swims both wings thrown back, like
a pair or lateen saha, a very Argonaut on
the translucent sea. At length the diffi
culty is overcome, the wings are packed
away, and—like a large gull—it rides tba
waves with consummate ease. Sometimes
it paddles to and fro, or, again, it dives
gracefully beneath the surface after squids
or similar ocean dainties. Half a dozen
birds, perhaps, gravely assemble to in
spect an empty beer bottle thrown over
board, to bob up and down idly upon the
waves, and inquisitive bills peck vigorous
ly at the unsatisfactory flotsam, until fc
battle royal disperses the family party.
1 he wiser ones meanwhile hover in midair,
craning their necks to throw penetrating
glances from a superior hlght.
With the birds settling by* the dozen,
it is easy enough to capture specimen# for
examination, without causing injury o w
pain. Any sharply barbed hook is alto
gether superfluous. The albatrosses ebso
lutely enjoy the excitement and the sport
obtained is not without a novel interest.
A small metal frame should be mado in
ine sliape of a hollow triangle, attached
to a hundred yards of stout line, end kept
afloat by a good-sized piece of cork. Th*
sides of ihe metal frame are then covered
with bits or fat pork, the hard skin of
Which is securely bound thereto; the batt
la thrown astern, and (he line is slowly
paid out. Presently a great aibatros#
swoops through the air. impelled by curios,
uy to investigate the nature of the float
mg pork. It settles before the dainty mor
el of food, numbers of birds follow suit,
euclt one made bold by competition, and
ida?n' h ®i7? ort At this moment
additional line must be given in order to
compensate for the progression of the ship
thus enabling the bird to seize the desired
lood. With a sudden ruh the supreme
' ffort Is made. Once or twice the attempt
proves ineffectual, but. rendered bold by
greediness, a final grab finds the curved
HI securely wedged inside the apex of
die triangle, as the fierce tugs on the Una
quickly indicate. Steadily the haul ia
made, hand over hand, until a helpless
albatross Is bodily lifted on to the poop
in an absolutely uninjured condition. A
slackened line enables Ihe bird to escape,
ond if scattered wits permitted such an
"(Tori sudden flight would also obtain re
lease, The other birds invariably com
mence to attack a claptured comrade a
steady puit being required, even If the
line does cut your hand#, to save it from
is friends.
Once safely on deck, the mandibles nr*
tied together, for otherwise ihe hir®
Ihrows up an oily fluid, a di ag e.**bt
habit possessed by all the tribe. Subject
to this precaution, it may wander gravely
around to survey the new horizon of Uf.
The large eyes gaze with a truly natheMc
confidence, expressive of anything but
fear. It is a strange spectacle to witness
the inquisitive bird solemnly waddle to
nd fro among the equally !rqull ive hu
man beings around, True, It obJe tM Ighf

lie box on the ear soon induces submls-

the albatross meanwhile repost g affec
tionately in the arms of the second offi
cer. The specimen happens to be a small
one, but the wing expansion from (lp. lo
tip ia no less than ten feet; (he extr me
length of body is three feet six lnchee,
and Ihe formidable bill measures upward
of four inches. Everything about the
great wandering albatross (D. evulans)
Is vast —the wings are enormous; th* flight
is reckoned by the thousand mile*, and
lls very nest may be found within th*
extinct crater on the adjacent Island of
Tristan da Cunha—7,ooo feet above th* w*
level. The plumage varies greatly on dif
ferent specimens end at different season*;
young ones, like our friend under ol:i*r
-vatlon, having a mottled brown appear
ance. The bill has n rosy tinge at the
base of the manldbles, passing Into born
color at the tip of the curve of the qui
nt en. The head, neck and body, together
with the * breasts, are principally white;
the manilS has beautiful of
black. The w'rgs are brown above and
while underr \ tipped above and bfl>w
with black—an invariable character of the
griot albatross. The tail Is chiefly white,
relieved by blotches of black, which gtv*
the appearance of a black bar edging th*
white covcrls. The legs, feet end toes have
a peculiar bluish gray, with a suspicion
of a livid pinkish hue somewhat difficult
to define. The black pupils are bordered
with green. I found elevi n feet six Inches
to br the average wing measurement, al
though a gigantic specimen In the Syd
ney .Museum extends seventeen feet six
Inches, with a bill six Inches long. All
sailors are. familiar with the great won
dering albatross in its varying plumage.
While the young and even second year
birds possess evei? variety of brown colo
ration. the really mature specimens—ea
peciiiliy round the Horn—are nearly pure
white, with the black tips above and be
low Most of the other species ere hope
lessly confused by sallore under the gen
eral term "moilymauk" (a word spelled
in divers ways), and it took me many
wi eks to distinguish the different kind*.
