Under the effects Of the depress.
ion in financial and commercial
circles this market declined reln.
lively so much fastor than the
European markets that it became
possible to export cotton from
New York to Liverpool if not at 8
profit certainly upon better
basis than for many years and this
condition of affairs has led to q
short rally from tho lowest point
Of the week. This rally was based
on what appeared to be an over-
sold condition Of The trade, not
immediately justified by the move
mont of the crop, and whether it
will result in q change in the opin-
ion Of the trade as 10 The ultimate
range Of prices, c%n only be solved
by time. Ii NAY chock tho otlcr-
ing of cotton iroM The South but
ut the samo time, il may and prob-
ably will, furth0r Increase tho dis
positiop throughout ,no South TO
plant next seasJn as much cotton
as possible.
If the movement Of the crop
Ialls below 2-l303, it may slim
ulate a demand from exporters
which will further advance the
market, but there is rs yet no in
dications of rry revival in spccula-
tlon or in trado conditions Of
America. In Liverpool tho teal
per of tho trado is reported to be
decidedly bullish, based on the
belief that this crop will not OK
coed 100000 bales and that un-
dor such q yield, England has not
secured her share of tho cotton.
Therefore decline there, is resist
cd although the absence Of specu-
lation is there shown by tho loss
of all premiums for carrying cot
ton. Tho moro distant Summer
positions when if thcro is Il scar
city it will bo felt selling at loss
money than the proscnt deliveries.
Therefore if anything tho difficult
ty the forccasting Of future course
or prices becomes moro involved
by this rally than when il was cvi-
don't such reaction migh1 come
at any timo from an 0yersO.d mar
ket.
From tho standpoint Of q mcr-
chant on this sido of tho Atlantic,
1T seems certain that tho improve
mont must como from abroad. a
unsettled financial conditions have
led to an accumulation OF goods at
the mills which acsrn to have OK
haustable reserve supplies Of cot
ton rs they shoH no anxiety 20 iu-
crease thor purchases. Waite
from tho Liverpool standpoint thc
good demand from India for cot

RETURNED WITH THE SHOW.

A Young Man Who is Alleged to Have
 Committed Two Burglaries Arrested.
 Joseph W. Northrop, who has but re- gently been discharged from the Re form school was arrested last even- ing about o'clock at the circus grounds on Kimberly avenue by De- tective McGrath and Supernumerary Lawton on suspicion of being impli- cated in two burglaries lately commit ted in, this city, that of the store of Fred Collet, the grocer on Grand ave- nue, and that of A. E. Carleton at Wa verly Place and Gilbert avenue Af- ter the last burglary Northrop shook the dust of the city from his feet He was traced by Officer Lawton to An sonia, but had left there before he could be captured. He was next heard of in Bridgeport. from which place he went to New Jersey. Yesterday the police got information that Northrop was working with the Washburn show.
 When arrested the fellow was with out a coat, as we'll as shoes and stock ings.
 Northrop's case will come up this morning in the city court Two of the men, Flaherty and Sugrue, who are charged with having assisted in the burglaries, will be tried July 31.

FASTEST IN THE WORLD.

Bob Cook, speaking Saturday last of the Henley race, said: "The Leander crew is the fastest crew in the world. They did not have the speed of our men for the first half of the race, but they knew how to take advantage Of the skilful points which tend to con- serve the strength of the crew. The Yale crew was not up to the average Yale crew. They would, however, have made a better showing, over a mile course, where such action would not be required"
 You think the Oxford Cambridge course would suit them better ?"
 Decidedly so 1; the Yale crew would be able to do themselves justice over the Oxford Cambridge course and would be as good as Leander in such a place."

Fred POtter's Pacer Francis Wilkes Adds
 Another to His List of victoties.
 There were very few patrons at the Branford race track on Saturday after noon which may be accounted for by the fact that two of the advertised classes failed to fill. notwithstanding that purses of s200 for each were offer ed for the two classes. Francis Wilkes lowered his record and is now eligible to the 2:30 class. A race for Branford horses was added to the program, The judges were E. M. Smith of Meriden (starter), Samuel Hodgkinson of Wal lingfor6 and George L. Beach of Bran ford H. W. Averill took the time. The secretary of the association, MT. F. A. Finch. is entitled to credit for his able management.

In Tho Journal Of the American Medical
Association the following account of the
death of Washington appears In view of
the fact that the general impression pre-
walls that Washington died Of quinsy, the
paragraph Is interesting;
Washington Mt 81 years of ago died of
acute laryngitis complicated With ndema
of tho CLOTHS. On Dec. IL, 1890, he rode
over his estate on horseback and as II was
q day of rain and sleet he became thorough
ly chilled. He contracted u severe cold and
at the end of two days was very sick. Be
foro sending for n doctor he had his over
seer bleed him. When the doctor camc he
blcd him again. AS there was no improve
ment n consulting physician was called,
and again he was bled, Finally they gave
him tartar cmetic and calomel They also
applied fly blisters to his throat. This
medical treatment has been the subject OF
much criticism"
Ben Jonson had his mental faculties i'm
paired by repeated attacks of apopleXy.
His bodily health also was shattered, and
he died in state Of the deepest depression
and gloom. Benjamin Franklin died OF
abscess of the lungs Napoleon died OF
cancer of tho stomach. Burns, Shakes
peare and Edgar A. Poe died Of exposure
the results of too much drink. John Bun,
yam died of cold caused by exposure
\Shclley was drowned. Keats and Charles

Thirteen Miles of Diners.

cat the coronation Of Alexander II, :"
says tho Moscow correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph, there were no less than
10 miles of tables, 672 in number laid
symmetrically along the Khodynsky Field,
just outside Of the city, and on the eve OF
the historic day they were covered with
various kinds Of eatablcs for the multitude.
Thus, on each table wero placed five roast
cd sheep, the horns gilt or silvercd, and on
each side of the improvised tables stood
frs or pines, like the traditional Christ
mas trees of the Germans, from which
hung not merely the usual apples, pears,
sweetmeats and fancy breads, but likewise
roasted ducks, chickens and hens galore.
There were no plates, and the venerable
old saying was acted upon that fingers
were made before forks, and hands before
knives.
"No government with the wholesome
fear of bankruptcy before its eyes would
dream Of undertaking to supply the people
with alcoholic liquor in sufficient quaint
ties, and therefore barrels and tubs of wa
ter were placed within ensy reach Of tn,
thirsty mooshiks who might be unlucky
enough to miss their share OF tho creature
comforts por excellence, which were also
supplied in vast quantities FREQ of charge

and the curious drink called myod. Tn,
national vodka, however, was conspicuous

st. Louis n Typical American City.

St. Louis, in more than one sense, must
be accorded central placein the series of
great American towns. 1t is not only cen
trail by virtue of its geographical situation,
but 1t Is also moro typically American
than any other Of our largo communities
by reason OF the blending of the several
American types Of population. The process
of assimilation has been more complete
than in the northwestern towns and dis
tinctions Of race and class are less sharp
than In most eastern cities. st. Louis Is
comparatively an old community. 1t has
succeeded fairly we'll in reducing New
Englanders Virginians, New Workers,
men from the gulf states, Kcntuckians,
northwesterners, Missourians, the Illinois
contingent, the Texans, and tho Irish and
Germans rs well, into body Of progress
I've yet conservative Americans, to which
each element has contributed something,
while losing the sharp edges of its own &C.
centricities There results community
that Is typically American and more COM
pletcly representative of our whole coun-
try, such as 1t Is, than any other ono of
tho dozen largest American cities. 1t also
happens that st. Louis Is the most salts
factory exponent Of what may be called the
distinctively American system OF city gov
eminent that the country affords on any
similar scale of magnitude. ALBERT Shaw
