NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The sales of cot
ton to day reached the unheard Of total
of $40, 700 bales.
The largest sales ever before recorded
were made last week when on Wednes-
day the total reached $50, 200 bales.
This Is another way of saying that the
cotton market at this point has been IN
condition of unparalleled excitement and
confusion. The pendulations in
prices has been more violent as re-
suit Of conflict between certain opera
tions to arrest the decline on the one
hand and the tremendous outside pres
sure on the large class of widely scattered
holders known as the ''outsi lie public"
The latter have been panic stricken and
orders TO sell without limit fell on
market which seemed to have no bottom.
At the outset there was decline
of 29a30 points. At the Weak
est intervals the decline was So
points. The close was easy at
net decline of 53a58 points. Some
steadiness was given to the market at
one time by reports that the New Or
leans bull leader in connection with a
New Orleans firm made great efforts to
hold October, November and December.
Later dispatches from New Orleans said
that the market there had gone all to
pieces again and was in panicky con
dition A small failure. that of Emmett
81 Teuch, at New Orleans, accelerated
the decline here only slightly. In the af-
ternoon there was a good class Of buying
orders including some by the firm re-
cognized as the leading operators at this
point. The early advances from LIVER
pool showed loss equal to 80 points
hers.
At the close the market was nervous
and unsettled with panicky feeling
prevailing and depending upon the Liv-
erpool opening prices to morrow.

Smells Of Fish.
BY BEN. BLOOMER.

The time has come for "Potes" to sing
OF all the "goings on" of spring;
When herring run, and shad go smish,
And lovely nature "smells of fish,"
When blue birds "call,' and frogs do croak
And life seems just jolly joke.
And SO 81 take my pen in hand"
Away down South in Dixie land,
Aud from my muse take the tip,
Cast off the line and 'let 'er rip"
The buzzard circles through the sky,
The hawk has chicken in his eye,
The lizard lies on sunny rail,
8 ow winks his eye and wags his tall
The bee means business and the fly
Returns to kiss the family.
love the spring beyond the rougt),
And cannot sing its praise enough;
When roosters go a counting hens,
And pigs play porker in the pens.
Now some may say, and say with truth,
tbs just little trick of youth"
That, as it may, the spring has come,
And makes one feel so much al home.
