CHI. Berry was driving up from DAN

while crossing the Horse Back" saw
two moose in the road, one lying down,
the other standing. They did not seem
at all frightened, but the recInh bent one
deliberately arose, and then both, after
calmly viewing the inturder and sizing
him up, walked off into the woods to
retired spot to have little private con
versation on the subject.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, May S-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton rose 2 to points, and then reacted and closed quiet and steady at a net advance of 1 point, with sales of 3S 900 bales. Liverpool advanced F to point, closing quiet and steady with sales or 5000 bales. Spot cotton was quiet and un- 2OOO for export and 31O0 delivered on con tract. Silver advanced Ad in London A New Orleans dispatch says that there will be de4ease in the acreage in Louisiana; large diminution in the use Of fertlilzers, and that recent rains have been bad Tor the crop The. New Orleans cans receipts eSdd & to- morrow are estimated at 2090 to 5000 bales, against 2s21 last Thursday and 757 last year. The port receipts today were 4l95 bales against 6199 last week and S69i last year. thus far this week z3,99o bales, against 42, 20l thus far last week
 In Manchester yarns were dull and cloths were quiet. The southern spot markets were quiet and unchanged. The exports from the ports were 4543 to Great Britain. Memphis received 122 bales, against 141 last week, and 57 last year. and Houston 407 year The exports of yarn from Great Britain fin April were 32,000,000 pounds, against 19.37S.000 in the same month last pounds, against 75,997 100 last year FIX ports of cloth were 40,200 900 In April against 4l,9l7, ,S20 last year, and thus far this. season 1,6S2 sS9, ,10O against 1S2O, 600 thus far last season.
 Today's features There was an under tone of strength in cotton today in spite or. the fact that Liverpool was dull that Man chester was rather blue; that the weekly government report on the whole was favor able. and that there was an absence of life in speculation here. ~But some un- favorable private crop reports were re- ceved from various sections of the cotton belt, and dry weather is undoubtedly need ed in central Texas. Silver was higher and it was believed that the dispute between Russia and Japan has been practically settled. Although there was no large buy ing for long account and the speculation was anything but animated, there was more or less nervousness noticeable among the bears, and their covering caused a slight advance Most operators, however are holding aloof awaiting the bureau re- port to be published on Friday. The bureau report is expected by many to be bullfsh Quite a number of operators are inclined to the opinion that it will show decrease in acreage of 15 per cent.

ciding to take important ventures. Around the opening the rains of last night were the cause of freedom in selling, but with fractions decline the shorts" deemed it eXpedient to cover, the demand from that source bringing about a rally, but when the support was withdrawn another set back took place and no news of sufficient ability to force a recovery was then re- ceived. In the early firmness immediately succeeding the opening, the strength or corn was a factor, but the sympathetic in huence lost power later. July wheat open ed from 631s to 63Ac sold between 621ld629s 0i621Rc, closing at 6219c, 5sGAc under yes terday. Sales of cash wheat in the sample department were at 1c advance over yes terday's prices, but the close was weaker with the futures.
 May corn made another gain this morn ing, but 1t did not hold the full apprecia- ton. Although a recession took place, faith in the value of this grain was not by any means destroyed.
