OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,
FORT WORTH, TEX. Jan. IL, 1889.

There has been no occurrence of i'm
portance to report on the market That
a culver has been felt in quotation, ex-
eept on cotton, which has stiffened, but
not quotably So The best grades will
win bring Sc and above. but the receipts
now are of an off quality, late pickings,
and seldom bring more than so.
Broom corn raising promises ere long
to become an industry in Ochiltree coun-,
ty, Tex. a meeting of the farmers of
that county has been called to discuss the
business.
1t is thought before long the exports of
wool from Northern China win be of suf-
ficieut magnitude as to cut q figure in the
markets of the world. The wool is of
fair quality, suitable for many manufae-
turing purposes, though on the whole in
ferior to the Australian and La Plata ar
ticle
The total stock of domestic wool in
Boston, comprising all descriptions of
wool grown in this country, sheared as
well as pulled, is IS $40 600 pounds, of
which about 4 400 ZOO pounds was grown
east of the Mississippi river. This can be
accepted as substantially correct, as I'M
usual care has been taken by dealers to
report everything this year, whereas it is
admitted that such was not the fact
year ago.
Considering that last week was hoii-
day week the cotton market reflected
considerable animation at values fiuctu-
ating more widely than of late. The re-
ceipts of cotton at all the ports during the
past week were POP ,224 bales (pre-
vious week. 254 1913 bales) COM
pairing with 259 1903 same time
last year, an increase of 43,6l6
bales. Since September l the receipts
were 1892 1876 bales, as against 4 ,144,-
658 same time last year, a decrease
of 81 1868 bales. The exports for the
week were 1877 ,612 bales, as against
1873 ,573 bales same time last year, an in
crease of 20 ,039 bales. The total ex-
ports foot up 2 ,529 1886 as against 2 ,604 :
2I0 bales same time a year ago, a de-
crease of "A 1874 bales. The amount of
cotton on sight is 2 ,947 1903 bales, as
against 3 ,08l 1856 same time year ago,
a decrease of 133, 1888 bales.

Had Porter Gaines of the Park Central
 Hotel Done as HIS Wife Desired He
 Would Not Have Been Killed.
 Mrs. George Gaines, wife of the night DOT ter who was killed by the explosion at the Park Central hotel in Hartford, says that her husband was not feeling well on the evening before the disaster, and as he was about to leave home at g o'clock she begged of him not to go but to remain at home. He said his services were wanted as night porter, and he needed the pay, which he would not get if he remained away. Mrs. Gaines said she burst into tears and begged of her husband to remain, ns she felt gloomy, and feared that something terrible was about to happen. Her husband told her to cast away all snch ideas, as they amounted to nothing. Bid- ding her good night, he went on duty, and she threw herself on the lounge and cried for an hour. In the morning she was told that the Park Central hotel was blown to pieces. More calm and less nervous than in the pres ceding evening, she said: "Then George is killed, and I feared that something awful WAS to happen"
 Mrs. Gaines and her little daughter left on the Washington express last evening for Annapolis, Md, where her parents reside. Hartford people have raised & subscription for them, $150 of which has been placed in 8 Hartford bank for the baby to draw interest until she becomes of age.

GRATITUDE OF A TROUT.
Hicks Was Kind to the Fish and They Vie With Each other in TryfnG to Mako Him Happy.

Hicks Was Kind to the Fish and They
 Vie With Each other in Trying to
 Mako Him Happy. From the Amateur Spottsman.l
 "A man named Hicks, who lives out on the hills of Arkansas, has on his farm beau tiful stream. He attempted to stock it with trout but soon discovered that the water was to warm. Not discouraged, he proceeded to
 cool the water. He started an ice factory, and every morning now during the sum- mer he deposits ice in the different pools. We'll, sir, it would tickle you to see the fish. When Q wagon draws up to pool the driver yells Tcel' and the fish come flying out from under the rocks. They get up on the ice and carry on in perfect futter of glee. Beats anything ever saw" "You know Hicks, do you, Dave" "know him? Why, he doesn't live more than two miles from my place." "Does he allow anybody to catch the trout?" "He will give you all you can catch with a hook" Believe will go out some time" Wont do any good" "Whyl" ff"The fish won't bite for anybody but Hicks" "They won'ts" "No, sir; you couldn't get nibble." "How do you account for ita" Gratitude" "What?"
 Gratitude, tell you. They know Hicks. They know how much he has done for them. Why, sir, he can pull them out as fast as he can throw in. You ought to them look up in his face and smile. One day I was with him. Two of the biggest trout you ev- CT saw began to fight for the hook. One of them got it, and the other one determined not to be outdone, came out on the bank and lay down. I never saw such grati- tude."

A Convenient Poultry House.


 I have been often asked in regard to the size and plan of building suitable for eigh- ty or one hundred head of poultry, and will give the readers of the Examiner a descrip- ton of house that I built two years ago, which is liked better than any other on the place for convenience and warmth. The building stands on dry site, with slightly southern cant. It is forty by twelve feet in area, twelve feet high on the front, and seven feet on the back or north side. Three sills, five by six inches, run the entire length of the building. The floor timbers are three by four inches and are placed two feet apart. These were joined and spiked together and covered with good square edged boards laid double, thus excluding all drafts through the floor. For the frame two by three scantling was used, set two feet apart This is large enough for the house, except the corners, which should be of three by four stuff. The rafters are three by four in- ches. This frame, with the aid of four posts inside, will be sufficient to hold, without settling the roof, what snow may lie on the building. Four large windows were placed in the south side and one in the west end, affording sufficient sunlight the whole day. The walls were covered with tight fitting
 
 finally elapboarded with No. 3 clapboards The roof was covered in the same way, ex- cept that No cedar shingles were used in the place of clapboards. The paper excludes any wind that may get under the shingles, should any of them become loose or curled The house has neat and attractive appear ance, it being painted two coats with white lead and oil.
 The inside arrangement is as follows: There are five pens, each eight by nine and one-fourth feet, opening into 8 walk which runs tie length of the house. The windows can be raised from the walk without entering the pens. The pens divided with two inch mesh wire netting, thus excluding no light. On the back side of each division are the roosts, built two and one-half feet from the floor, with platform to catch the drop- pings one foot below the roasting bar. On the right of these pens are the feed trays, and on the left the nests, raised one foot from the floor. The water cans have slat- ted frame over them to prevent the hens from fouling the water, which must be sup- piled pure and fresh daily. The pens are furnished alike, giving them a uniform ap- pearance. There is heating apparatus at the west end of the walk, over which the morning mash is cooked.
 A building like this is inexpensive, and very comfortable and convenient. Great care should be exercised to keep these quar- ters clean, as foul houses are detrimental to the health of the hocks.

Dennis McCarty of Portland Terribly
 Lashed by Masked Men.
 M1DDLETowN, March 7.-Tuesday night four masked men visited the house of Dennis McCarty, a well known character of Portland, took him to vacant lot near by and lashed him with rawhides till he was hardly able to stand. After this they told him that they would give him thirty hours to get to work and threatened further injuries if he did not mend his ways. McCarty has had the repu- tation of being rather hard citizen, addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, and has been drunk good deal of the time lately. There has also been stories that AcCarty was in the habit of beating his wife whenever he came home intoxicated. Other persons of both sexes in Portland have been likewise threatened,
