The Indications 10 Do sure, ~ umes seeu
to show that values are pretty nearly dewn to
an export level, aud indeed great many OF
the trade claim to be in momentary expecta-
ton OF q sudden development OF brisk de-
mand on foreign account, but the realization
and not the hope of an increased outward
movement is what the majority of operators
desire to see. and until this does come. 1t will
be probably difficult matter to restore con-
6dence. The outlook on home account, too,
instead of growing better, offer even less en-
couragement than heretofore, the mills in
several cases being stopped, by strikes OF the
workmen. spinners generally complaining OF
the unremunerative return on her production,
and it is said in few cases they are proposing
70 sell off accumulated stock of raw material,
q likely to afford them better margin than
to manufacture it. Still we find no desire
prevailing to sell the market off on the
months covering the present crop, and SO far
rs actual cotton is concerned holders have
RETAINED from urging sales throughout. In
short there is q sort OF mutual standing of
on the part of two contending interests, with
each warily Watching for some development
calculated to decide the issue for the balance
of the current cotton year.
Nearly all advices from the South have
been Of favorable tenor in regard to the
next crrp, and this, too, has contributed
neuualizing influence against bullish tenden.
cies. A portion of our operators rather favor
the belief of an increased acreage, but some
OF the Southern journals take contrary ground
on the theory that planters propose giving
greater attention to the product OF breadstuHs
and provisions than heretofore.
In the purchase of s'spots" both the English
and the Continental operators have again
been engaged, but hardly with the freedom
of last week, and very cautious policy has
evidently governed all movements.

A Texas Item.

A news item with real South
western flavor comes from Texas.
As two men were entering the
town of Marquee ST alton one morn.
ing recently, they noticed some.
thing peculiar about a tree, and
rode up to investigate the matter.
The odd appearance, they asccr-
tanned, was caused by a quiet
gentleman in the tree top. His
hands hanging carelessly behind
him, being tied together, and his
body was supported by rope a
bout his neck. He swung gen
tly in the air, turning about with
every wind as though lie were a
politician. lie was exceedingly
dead, and appeared to be in that
condition an hour or two ut least.
Near by stood a horse tied to a
tree. The deceased gentleman
was taken down from his eleva-
ton and examined with a critics
eye by several connoisseurs in
dead men, but no one could iden-
tify him. A letter was found in
his pocket addressed from one L.
w. Hardia telling him to be at a
certain place at given time with
a good horse. 1t was the general
opinion of those who inspected the
corpse that death resulted from
the too perfect compliance with
the directions in the letter in re-
gard to securing "a steed. Still
the presence Of the animal indica-
ted that its owner hadn't cared to
secure it. There was no solution
to the mystery, and SO they buried
the man, without a marble tomb
stone, because they didn't know
what name to chisel on it. The
affair was not the cause of any
great commOtion; it was merely
such an item as the Texas report
er can sometimes pick up when
he stroIls through the suburbs in
the gray dawn.
