New ORLEANS, LA, Feb 23.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say.
Futures-May closed here on Saturday at
7.54; it sold this morning at TAG, but i'm
proved again and closed at SATURDAYS
prices. Liverpool closed at yesterdays
closing prices or sod lower than Saturday
The improvement to-day is attributable
to small receipts expected here to-mor-
row, 1900 bales, Receipts tomorrow at all
ports last year were Il, 900 bales. Port re-
ceipts for the week viii be about 125, 900
bales. TIE same as last year. Liverpool
spot sales are 5000 bales, and the tone quiet,
and little doing. The market has been
very quiet one to-day, and the improve
ment was caused by some shorts covering
to take profits. Liverpool is expected to
be shade better tomorrow, and our New
York advices are to the same effect. If so,
this will be readjusting of the parity.
as they have declined since Saturday
whereas we are unchanged. The seni-
weekly movement at thirteen interior
towns reported by our exchange every
Wednesday will give you some Indication
of the interior movement for the week.
Port receipts yesterday were p, 600 bales,
against $4,000 bales last year, and to-day
are 1900 bales, against 1900 bales last
year. The stock in New York to-day is 40S,-
COO bales, against $4,000 bales this day last
year. This shows how large 4 short in
terest there is in New York, protected by
actual cotton and just to that extent is a
short interest of that character of
beariSh feature AS we said
few days ago every month as it becomes
current there will be rendered against, and
the long interest VIII be made to liquidate
on notice The stock here is Asa, 900
bales, agaiustC I335, 900 bales last year
but we doubt if 10000 bales are held here
against short contracts The total port
stocks to-day are AS, 900 bales larger than
last year.
Spot-Sales exported to-day included 22OO
bales sold after hours on Saturday, and
also what was sold yesterday as well as to-
day.

watterson,s Opinion.

LOUISVILLE, KY, FEB 23.-Mr. Waiter
son in the Courier Journal this morning
says: Mr.. Cleveland is no longer a
possibility. His selection as the Demo-
cratic standard bearer, would be on the
part of he7natlonal Democracy an act of
deliberate suicide. He will not allow his
name to be used.'' After reviewing yester-
days work in Albany and asking that
justice and fairness be shown the authors
of the Hill movement because they are all
Democrats, Mr. Watterson says: ITO the
nomination therefore put forward by the
Democrats of the empire state we must
respectfully vote no; and we offer as 3
substitute Hon. John Griffin Carlisle OF
Kentucky, next in succession 10 Grover
Cleveland, as q leader and the embodiment
of the great issue of revenue reform, and in
eminence of ability in public service, and in
personal integrity, altogether worthy to
wear his mantle and entirely large enough

To Nominate Grover Cleveland,
Says Mr.. Watterson.
CLEVELAND IMPOSSIBLE AS
A Leader of the Hosts of the Democratic
Party.
Opinions of Republican and Mugwump
Papers on the Albany Convention-For
HilI-The st. Louis Convention Not
Down to Work Yet
The Hera Id,s Comments.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The Herald this
morning says: Hill has handled the stu
alton with conSummate tactical shrewdness
He holds New York state, or at least he
thinks he does, in his fist. Yesterdays
conventions emphasized the fact that New
York state was very badly split. Hill has
the machine without q doubt, but q very
large number of Democrats are vet to be
convinced that he has the people. The
party of this state has very bitter feud on
its hands, ana the aggressive policy of Hill
has excited degree of opposition which
renders the vote of November uncertain for
himself or Cleveland. a Western man,
who has also the respect of the people,
man like Watterson, for instance, with Hill
for second place, would be certain 10 carry
New York and the country. The Demo-
Gratis of this state who are now divided into
factions, and are losing no opportunity to
knife each other, would unite on such a
ticket and carry its banner to undoubted
victory"
THE WORLD SAYS:
Senator Hill has the delegation from
one state, but there are forty-three states
yet to be heard from, and even in two
months from now the real fight for the
nomination will be hardly begun" The
World antagonizes Hill throughout its edi-
torials.
THE TRIBUNE SAYS:
The anti-Hil movement is rapidly gain
rious enough to be called Il faction. 1t was
rather late in making itself manifest and
the influential and upright who are con-
cerned need not wonder that the general
public cannot understand how it happens 1
that decent Democrats, who were not ex-
cited at all by the seat stealing conspiracy,
were not itself dreadfully moved, because
the convention was held rather earlier than
is customary. Their Indignation against
Hill does them credit, but it Is rather be-
lated and is open TO the criticism of lacking
hrst-rate moving cause. However, if
they only have the necessary courage and
wisdom, the anti-Hillites can atone for the
past by making the most of their present
opportunity. If they forced the fighting
they can quickly destroy him as a presi-
Dental possibility"
THE TIMES SAYS.
almost and at the worst Mr.. Hills con-
ventlon can serve only as hindrance to
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. That it
will serve as an effective hindrance, we do
not believe and the revelation of Demo-
cratic sentiment IN all parts of the country
diminishes every day the doubt upon that
point That the work of this convention
with its body of instructed delegates will
lead to the nomination of Mr.. Hill for the
presidency is a notion too absurd to be con-
sidered for moment. The Democratic con-
vention at Chicago will not nominate Mr..
Hill. 1t conceivably may go West for its
candidate, or South, or to the Pacific coast.
If it comes East or to New York it will
come for man better kown and more re-
spected than David b. Hilln

Special to the Gazette.
HoUsToS, Tex, Feb. 2S-This morning
Mr. Joe Merkel went out to Merkel's grove
and while there found lying on pile of
moss man having the appearance OF
a Swede, or German, with a bull
let hole in his head about an
inch above his right ear. The ground
around the body was covered with blood
The pistol found by his side was 3S-call-
Der American bulldog, and all evidence
pointed plainly 10 a case of suicide. The
man had youthful appearance, with
smooth face, and looked to be about nine
teen or twenty years Of age. Justice
Schwander, acting as coroner, held an in
quest and had the body removed to an IN
dertaking establishment, where it will be
held until this evening for identi-
fcation, as nothing was found on
his person to reveal his iden-
uty. In his pockets were found Sl.3O
and lottery ticket. Last Monday he ap-
piled 10 Mrs Merkel for something TO eat,
stating he wanted work. His hands had
the appearance of those of a laDoring man,
but beyond these facts nothing is known.

TAMPICO HARBoR.
The Jetties Completed-How They Are
Constructed.


Special to the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 23.-H. w. Marks,
assistant engineer of the harbor work at
Tampico, Mexico, arrived here to-day.
The jetty work was commenced in April
1890, E. L. Corthell, of Chicago, being the
engineer. The improvement consists of
two parallel jetties at the mouth of the
Panuco river, each one thousand feet apart,
constructed of rock and brush mattresses.
They extend into the sea seven thousand
feet, and at either end there is now twenty
five feet of water The jetties were
completed a few days ago and the river
current is rapidly removing the bar at its
mouth and deepening the bed. 4 depth of
seventeen and half feet of water has
already been secured, and Mr.. Marks ex-
poets it to reach twenty-five feet in a short
time. He states that four-ffths of the
shipping vessels Of the world can now enter
the harbor without difficulty. The cost of
the work was 50, 500, 900. S. J. Reynolds,
president of the harbor company, and
several of the principal stockholders, are
residents of Boston, Mass.

Tho Sport of Fortune.

Inventors are proverbially the sport of
fortune. A poor fellow of this class
named Jobson was once boarder in a
house on Washington place, New York
He had invented lot of clever things
which were of no use to anybody. and he
was very hard up. The landlady was a
kindly soul and she did not press him
for a long time, but at last his debt was
so large and his hope Of paying it SO
small that he vanished from the house.
Two months later, in the middle of win
ter, the man reappeared and begged
shelter for the night. In his old room
he committed suicide. At that very
moment an advertisement appeared in a
paper calling on Jobson by name to go
west and claim his share of relatives

Lawn is soft stuff made from the
wool of the lawn, an animal in South
America. 1t is also part of the flesh Of
the COW or sheep, the rib part. Shoddy
is drink made from mixture of ale
and sugar. 1t is the leather before it
goes through the process of making into
boots and shoes. and for this reason is
called shoddy. tits the flesh hnear the foot
of any animal. 1t is a kind of whisky.
Wincey is the wool off an animal which
lives in America; the lamen is its name.
Calico is good heat conductor, because
it catches fire very easily. If print
dress is dried outside it must be careful
not to be left in the sun.
Calendered means turned from one
kind of species into another. 1t is things
which are the shape-of calender, like
our bodies. 1t means preserved with
