THE MARKETS.
McELRoY X GILBERT.


NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 5,(Spe-
cial) McElroy X Bibert say;
The Chronicle report of this morning an
nouuces that during the past weel, there
has been general improvement in all
the states, but less in Texas than else
where. as the rains which have fallen
over n portion of our sister state were in
sufficient, and more are still needed to
put the crop IN proper condition. Some
complaint of drOuth comes also FROM
Tennessee and Arkansas. Picking Is re-
ported under way in Texas.
We today have adyices from two of our
friends. who have been travelling through
the southern and southwestern portions
Of Texas. Their views are singuarly
unanimous. both expressing the convic-
ton that. the outlook Is far from fnror-
able. that the plant IN most localities Is
quite snail, and where the stalk Is large
ii Is only scantily fruitcd. These two
reports cover all the country from Hous-
ton northwest TO Austin. south TO San
Antonio and southeast TO the coast, and
embraces considerable of the COTTON
growing region. Their views. as OK
pressed, confirm the general expectation
of an unfnyOrable bureau on the 10th
These are the bullish features of the
situation.
On the other hand we have higher
money rates in England and large stock
there, and the probability that English
spinners will be very spare buyers Of our
first arrivals in view Of these conditions.
Eastern spnnors. MS we are well aware,
are not In d position to Dry anything

Sir Henry Hawkins was once presiding
over tedious and uninteresting trial and
was listening, apparently with absorbed
attention, to tedious and uninteresting
speech from counsel learned in the law.
Presently he made pencil memorandum,
folded it aud sent 1t by the usher to the
counsel in question This gentleman, on
unfolding the paper, found these words:

Roadmaking Is easy enough for any.
body to comprehend from the road
which Is made by one wagon following
the track Of another till the grass Il
worn away by hoofs and wheels, to the
road that Is laid with care and regular
ity and presents hard and even surface
that Is neither very dusty in dry weather
nor very muddy in wet.
That we have not AZ many Of the kind
OF roads last described as we ought to
have Is due to the fact that the country
Il new and sparsely settled In compari-
son with Its extent. and also to the fact
that we have not paid as much attention
to the subject Of good roads Al we should
have done. We are beginning. however.
to make up for lost time In this respect
that Is, we have advanced to the point
Of discussing the subject, and that pre-
pares the public mind for the next step,
which we may assume will be the count
ing Of the cost The people will have to
pay that, and 30 it is possible to interest
even those who have no idea what bad
roads there are In the vicinity Of great

The Persian cat is born to the hap.
piest fate Of any Of his family, for.
according to the tales of travellers he
Is, in his native land, not only loved
and cherished, not only well treated
and admired. but thoroughly NJ
spected, and he has ON ACKNOWLEDGED
position and rights. In form the BE-
witching Persian does not greatly
differ from the Angora, but the tail
Is much more effective, for the long
est and the thickest set hairs being
ut the tip, they form magnificent
plume, which the dignifed owner
carries proudly erect, waving in the
air as he moves. In his splendid
silky coat Is not q trace Of woolliness,
and 1t clothes the graceful creature
from the tips Of his ears to the well
'feathered' toes.
Unless some undreamed Of feline
marvel shall yet be unearthed, this
animal must forever be regarded as
the perfect flower Of the domestic
cat family. Not only does ilc easily
surpass all his competitors in beauty
and grace, but he possesses charms
OF disposition and manner and dig
nifty OF bearing, and while mos.
afectionate and loving is still self
respecting and independent. Olive
Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazaar.
