HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.
New York, June .-(Special) Our
adNices from Liverpool state that the
decline at the close of business was
largely due TO the failure of an outside
operator who was long of cotton and
unable to meet the settlement of differ
ence tomorrow. The decline was a
disappointment to our local traders
who expected a good demand from
spinners. and our opening was weak,
although there was no decided pressure
From the lowest point there was a re-
covery, based on the execution OF buy
ing orders from Liverpool, the East
and from the dry goods market, where
the anticipated action of the St. Louis
convention is having a beneficial effect
on trade. Crop reports continue gen
orally good, with complaints from linn
tied districts in Texas that needed
rains, but the trade is not prepared to
admit, as yet, any change in the crop
conditions from the Bureau report.
From the South a few selling orders
have come TO hand, indicating belief
in lower prices Many of our local OPP
orators are changing in favor of the
market on the expected revival in bus
mess. Some pressure to sell the Au
gust position by yesterdays buyers, re-
suited in that delivery closing at the
lowest prices of the day, and affected
the remainder of the market.
Liverpool bought freely at the close
of business, which was barely steady,
with the trade looking for a lower mar
ket tomorrow.

Fortune Telling.

When on the grain was summers gold,
And blue was summers sky,
We went to have our fortunes told,
a witching maid and I.
The gypsy sibyl seemed uncouth
And wierd to look upon,
And yet for each ol us, in sooth,
A merry tale she spun.
Mine was kindly horoscope;
I heard my birth above
Had hung the happy star Of Hope.
The lambent star Of Love.
Tho star of Love that bringeth bliss.
I learned, still shed it's glow.
Much more the sibyl said, but this
Was all cared to knew.
Then into sylvia's slender hand
saw the gypsy peer,
And words I longed to understand
We're whispered 10 her ear;
While on her cheeks blush had birth
That spread in rosy fire,
As when the winter wakened earth
Feels Springs divine desire.
We left behind the gypsy old.
And meath dusky pine
Again was that fair story told
That ended. "Sweet, be mine!"
Then Sylvia, the rUguish-eyed,
Laughed IN her winning way;
"That's what" triumphaatly she cried,
THE gypsy said you d sayl'

though only hominally and In appear
ahce, could not fail to distract the ideas
Of the community and would be apt to
breed discomfort as we'll among those
who live OIL the income Of their money
as among poorer classes Of the people,
to whom the necessaries Of life would
seem to have become dearer.
Among the evils attendant on such an
operation are these: Creditors both OF
the public and Of individuals would lose
a part Of their property. Public and
private debt would receive wound.
The effective revenues Of the govern
ment would be diminished. There Is
scarcely any point in the economy OF
national affairs Of greater moment than
the uniform preservation Of the intrinsic
value Of the money unit. On this tho
security and steady value OF property
essentially depend.-Alexander Hamil-

Beauties Of the Past.

sappho is said by the Greek writer's
to have been u blonde.
Jezebel, the Queen of Ahab, accord.
ing to one OF the rabbis, had "black eyes
that were set on fire by hell"
The Empress Anna of Russia was very
portly, The Aeshiness Of her face greatly
detracting from its good looks.
Margaret of Anjou had the typical
face of French beauty. She was black
haired, black eyed and vivacious. Her
features were indicative of her strength
of character.
Pocahontas is described as having fea.
lures as regular as those of an Europe
an woman. She is also said to have had
lighter complexion than usual among
Indian women.
Theodore, wife Of the famous Justin.
ian. was beautiful, crafty and unscru-
pulous. She is said to have been tall,
dark aud with "powers Of conversation
superior to any woman in the empire"
Catharine Of Braganza, Queen OF
Charles H., was singularly gifted both
in person and intellect, but in spite Of
her beauty aud good sense, she was new
er able to win the love Of her dissolute
husband.
Cleopatra was not an Egyptian, but a
Greek beauty with perfectly white skin
tawny hair and blue eyes. Her chief
fascination was her voice, which is de-
scribed as low, we'll modulated and sim
gularly sweet in tone.
The Empress Catharine I. had red,
coarse face. generally broken out with
plmples from the constant use Of strong
drink. Sne was a slave to brandy and
died of disease brought on by intem
perauce. In youth she had been famous
for her beauty.
