encouraging character than OF late and

uort to the spot market which has so long
been wanting The sales there today
reached 2o'M0 bales and arrivals were
quoted st from . to points advance
The markets on this side are developinr
an improved spot demand, continuation
OF which would materially improve prices.
New YORK closed very steady al Is points
advance and this market is Is 10 10 points
higher When We consider that the amount
of cotton brought into sight up to Friday
last exceeds that Of last year by only
some S5oeol bales and that the 20 interior
towns of chief Importance throughout the
cotton belt show no increase OF stocks
over last year ana that the unenumefatcd
towns in so far as we can gather are
much ~ the same fix, while the planting
element IS claiming that orly a small per
centase yet remains IN first hands, we
must confess that we see nothing tangible
on which TO base large crop estimates but
TO the contrary. The information on which
we based our ideas Of the last crop was
of the same character and kind MS is now
reaching us daily and except In Isolated
cases We doubt very much II any but I'M
favorable accounts could be had Spinners
have been cautious buyers. expecting
lower rates to follow the full realization Of
the crop estimates which have been given
them and shortage in the movement
such as would tend to dlsabuse their minds
OF a heavy yield would likely bring about
a sharp reaction.
Receipts today are 43.oSS against 5l.592
last year and 95.1S9 year before; thus far
this week 2O5,7fs, against q 1856 last week

The Bees Working Tools.

Naturalists say that the feet of the
common working bee exhibits the Curl
Gus combination of ii basket. brush
and pair of pinchers. The brush. the
hairs of which are arranged in SYM
metrical rows. are only to be seen with
"a high-grade microscope With this
tool the bee brushes its velvet robe in
order To remove the pollen dust with
which it has become loaded while the
bee was engaged in extracting nectar
Another delicate apparatus is the spoon
shaped appendage which receives the
gleanings tina. the bee wishes to carry
home to the hive. Finally. by opening
the basket and the brush by means of a
neat little hinge the two become
a pair Of pinchers which render effectu-
al service in the construction of cells
for the reception of honey.-Philadel-

NEW Yosx, June H.--Tho shipment Of
currency to tho West and South by New
York banks was continued to-day and ex.
cited much comment. Tho amount sent
out yesterday is estimated ut about
100000. and another million was ordered
to-day. When asked as 10 the cause of the
large shipment, which Is mainly to tho
West, the amount sont out within tho last
10 days 10 believed to exceed $l4O0O, 900,
bankers agreed in saying that the demand
Is largely due to the distrust prevailing
everywhere in tho country and especially
In the West. where there have been a
great many failures, both of banks and
commercial houses, the strlngency of
tho money market being felt ut
both ends Of the line now. Saw.
ings banks, as well as other
banks in the Wcst are all fortifying them
selves as much ms possible and that, es-
pecialiy in the case of country savings
banks, Is causing the boarding of money
In those places and the consequent drain
upon the banks Of Now York city. As a
result, many New York banks are being
compelled to call in loans in order to
maintain their lawful reserve. The send.
ing forward of wheat. II is believed. will
only account for a very small part Of tho
demand for currency from the West.
Last week the United States treasury
took 81 .ooo.000 from the banks ms tho re-
suit Of tho weeks operations. but this
week It is expected that the hanks will
gain at least Si.OO,OOO from tho sub.treas-
ury and very probably more next week. as
the payment of pensions has begun and
will reach its height next week.
As an indication of how the monetary
stringency is effecting trade, it was re-
ported in Wall street to-day that three
large mercantile houses in Chicago were
endeavoring to get extensions in this city
from the wholesale houses of which they
had bought goods. Another indication of
the strineency is tho fact that large mer,
cantilo house in Cincinnati Of first-class
credit, has had to pay l2 per cent for an
extension to tide II over tight place. A
lack Of buying is also reported to he one
OF the unfavorable conditions, and il is
generally attributed to the curtailment of
credits. The had state Of affairs in the
West Is generally due to the money strin-
Gency and to lack Of confidence. The
transactions in government bonds have
lately been in excess Of the usual amount.
Bankers say that the amount has been
sll 10000 ip the last fortnight. Tho sup.
ply came from the West and there has
been decline Of about per cent. in tho
price.
There was . meeting of tho clearing
house committee to-day. The meeting
was special one and lasted more than
two hours. None of the members would
say why the meeting was called or what
was done. but Inter in the day it was stated
from reliable source that the question
Of issuing clearing house certificates az n
makcshift in the absence of ready cash
was the subject of discussion. SO far ms
learned the committee did not decide to
issue certificates. the matter going over to
a second meeting to be held tomorrow.
