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. New York, June 16—Cotton futures opened easy.

Write for our Market Manual ana book containing Instructions for traders. 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. DRY GOODS.

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 Philadelphia Press says: The German bark Marie Siedenburg, which was formely the famous American ship Oracle, and which recently assumed her former name at Savannah, having been purchased again by Americans, will be towed to Baltimore to be converted Into a coal barge. She was built In Thomaston, Me., In 1862, and Is 1,143 tons register.

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 v lo the process of measurement, peck ing sharply by way of protest, but a gene lie box on the ear soon induces submls- J lon es the dimensions sre rapid’y 710 o\ 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.
