The market opened inanimate, with light
offerings, especially of the kinds wanted, and
o moderate demand, mostly from brokers, who
claimed concessions which factors were un-
willing to admit The business during the
morning was consequently of limited extent,
but later in the day parties came together
more freely and the movement became quite
active, swelling the days sales, as noted
above, to 400 bales. Factors met the de-
mand at our quotations; but in some cases,
when pressing sales, accepted fraction un-
der our outside figures. Low Middling sold
ct 124c and 1880. Strict Middling at 1890 and
1910, Strict Low Middling to Middling at 13c

G'he Cas- and the TaranfuIa.

l had a pair of jet-black yellow
eyed cats, twin brothers, of very
large size, which followed me when
walked about my grounds, and
they usually accompanied me when
l hunted the Texan hare on the ad
Jacent mesquite prairie, or when
angied in my fishing boats on the
Colorado river. They were very
much attached to me, and common
ly sat near me or slept under my
chair or table when 1 was reading
or writing. They possessed unus-
ual intelligence, and I had taught
them variety of amusing tricks.
They were as useful to me in nv
war upon the tarantulas as the
pointer was in my contest with the
snakes, although the spiders were
not so numerous or dangerous as
the copperheads. One day I was
sitting in a passage between two
rooms OF an unfinished house upon
which the carpenters were at work,
carelessly leaning back against the
wall reading, while the cats were
lying near me OH the rock pavement
which formed the floor passage.
One of them sprung suddenly and
gave me sharp blow upon the
side of my knee, which attracted
my notice slightly; but as they of
ten did something of the sort to
induce me to lay aside my book
when they wished me to lay aside
my book when they wished me to
give them water or play with them,
L did not pay any particular atten-
ton to it, and resumed my reading.
Soon one of them leaped three or
four feet in the air and struck me
On the shoulder, and Instantly the
other sprang almost as high as nv
head and knocked a huge tarantula
from the collar of my coat, which
fell heavily upon the pavement. 1t
Immediately made battle" by fac.
ing the cats and raising its two fore
legs at them, and threatening them
with a display of its fangs. l did
not interfere with the fight, know

how to conduct it. They quickly
separated, and one confronted the
enemy while the other placed him.

nouncing that the government OF
Newfoundland has resolved to ex-

regard to the property of the Ang-

that the matter is up for discussion
