A Circular to Merchants.

A st. Louis commission house has is.
sued circular to southern merchants
in which the following suggestions are
made:
The present condition of the cotton mar
ket arises from the enormous surplus, con-
sisting of nearly 100000 bales, which will be
carried over, together with the prospect OF
another large yield from the growing crop.
The increase In the visible supply is 10000
bales, and the estimated increase in the in
visible supply is 2J0,0o0 bales as compared
with last year, on a ,count of the large pur-
chascs by the mills this year, owing to the
low prices. Another factor, is doubtless the
effects arising from the extraordinary
money stringency of last winter, which is
still felt to some extent Whilst the present
crop is not made, and could be cut short by
an unfortunate fail and picking 5eason, still
Judging from the results of the past two
years, as well as our extended experience in
this business, we would advise our friends
to go slow IN the meantime, and not load
themselves up with surplus stock of mer-
chandise until the existing outlook has
changed somewhat for the better, or at
least defer doing SO until early in October
when you will be in a position to form o
very clear opinion of what your trade can do
for YOU.

A Snake Tries to swallow a Baby.

Mrs. VIM. Hux, living in log cabin
near Buffalo Shoals, not far from Hunt
ington, w. Va, was making soap in the
back yard, having first put her 6months-
old babe to sleep in the cradle. Pres
emily she entered the house and was
Mortified to find hideous blacksnake
of enormous size trying to swallow the
child. 1t had engulfed the hand, swal-
lowed it up to the arm pit, and was
writing in its contortions and efforts
to make further progress. Grasping
the reptile in the middle it seemed to
relax its hold and disgorge the child'a
arm, and then turned upon the mother.
She dashed it to the floor and stamped
it to death. 1t proved to be of the
black racer species, feet 2 inches
long, and measuring 619 inches in cir
conference. The baby still lives, and
the only inconvenience it suffered from
it's terrible experience was that its arm
and hand were blistered as if scalded
in hot water.
