NESTS IN QUEER PLACES.
A sparrow That BuiIt 81 Home Under tho
Shade OF an Electric Light

Sparrows are possessed OF queer traits, and
are In the habit OF building nests In strange
places. One would scarcely believe that spar
row would build nest upon the gear under
meath a railroad car that travelled many miles
in n day, yet such n case WAS noted by the press
not long ago.
The reporter not long ago was standing upon
n canal bridge, and saw attached to the rail run

nest. Almost every electric light contains a

Cotton Letter.

New York, May -(Special.)-After yes
terdag1 feverish advance today's market
was comparatively quiet one. The i'm
provement in Liverpool was no more than
was to be expected, and though the cover
ing of shorts caused further rise of to
points on the opening here the traders
seemed more willing to sell than to buy,
and the advance was not sustained, closing
prices being but trife higher than yes
terday's. August opened at ST. advanced
to $40, reacted to 8.12 and closed at S.13 bid,
with the tone steady. The general feeling
seems to be that the weak short interest in
the summer and fall months has been pref
ty well wiped out, and that with the superb
crop outlook it will not be easy to lift prices
much higher. But Mr.. Inman, who was a
seller at the advance today and buyer at
the reaction, continues to talk in a very
bullish strain, declaring that his only fear
is that the rise in prices may be so rapid as
to check the export movement. He seems
comparatively alone, however, in his ex-
IRENE bullish view, and expresses great sat
isfaction that such is the case.

distant months, with the tone steady and
sales of 233, 800 bales.
Today's features: The Liverpool news TO-
day was more encouraging, prices there re-
cording quite a sharp advance. Accord
ingly early prices here moved upward in
sympathy, assisted by support from the
prominent bulls, and some covering of the
shorts. The southern markets were also
strong and more active, while the exports
from the ports were of fair proportions
stated, were buying cotton at some south
ern ports today. The improvement, how
ever, was lost before the close. and a de-
cline in the summer months ensued. The
next crop months were firmer. The decline
was due to realizing sales OH the sharp ad-
vance here yesterday. The specula ton to-
day what there was of it. was confined to
local operators.
