s~usleton,. Arctic Longing satisaed.

AT one time," said Mr.. Bugleton,
"Ihad a sort of inclination for arctic
exploration. I thought I would like
to join some expedition setting out
to reach the north pole. There was
a fascination about this work that
was attractive, but it seemed to me
that before starting I ought, in some
degree at least, to inure myself to
cold. l thought that perhaps the
easiest way in which I could accom-
plish this would be by braking on
u freight train one or two winters.
I tried this, but with a somewhat
curious result. 1t led to my giving
up the north pole idea entirely, for
I found that in this way I could get
right here in a single winter all
the arctic experience l wanted,''-

This week we convey the sad in

in Oakfield township last Saturday.
The immediate cause of her death
was heart failure resulting from pneu-

old and leaves a mourning husband
and four children-three girls and a
boy. The funeral occurred Sunday
with interment in the Adventist
cemetery. This is but another case
OF where a kind and caring mother

from her loved ones, and the bereaved

New York. June 19.-IThe cotton market opened fairly steady. The first call showed unchanged prices to decline of one point. There was a further decline of 2d4 points after which the market made sharp rally of 6d9 points. The rise was chiefly on the months of July, August and September. The early weakness was the result of pounding by local bears, who took advantage of out side support. The strength later was due to covering by shorts in anticipation of the Liverpool holidays and on favorable reports from business centers at large and notably from the dry goods trade in Fall River. The close was very steady at net unchanged prices to an advance of points.

 New York, June 19.-The prominent fea- ture in the corn market this week and that which has overshadowed all other infiu- ences has been the great improvement in spot business at Liverpool. The sales or cotton there have jumped without warn ing from very small to extremely large proportions. This . and the consequent strength of the near months here has bol- stered up the entire market and resulted in an advance of 20 points since last Saturday. The leading bears here appear to have lost confidence in their convictions, for. they have been the principal buyers dur1lg the last two days. Liverpool cabed up q l ad- vance on 1-64 this morning, which was hardly regarded as adequate and cur mar ket opened slightly lower. The Chronieies report on the progress of the new crop dur ing the week was decidedly beari5h, and for a short time after the opening prices dropped
 But the covering fever was still strong among the shorts, and the market became very firm again and scored a fair advance. August opened at 7.29, declined to ' v ad- vanced to 7.36, and closed at 73A te 7,3o, with the tone of the market very steady. That there has been an undeniable and red;c'i change in sentiment genrally there is no doubt. fl The belief that we are about to pass frrm a period of business depression to one of ac- tive and merited prosperity has become general The effect of this cheerful feeling has been very marked upon stocks and mas had not little to do with the adVan"a P cotton this week. The strength of the sta tstical position is again talked abont cn all sides and the opinion is frequently express ed that with good business present an1 m prospect the manufacturers will not face the yicisstudes of the wrowipg crop. but will become competitors for the small stocks of cotton now on hand. Although the bulls are most confident it must not be forgotten that the course of the market has entirely overlooked the great improvement in crop prospects that has occurred. Pub lie and private accounts alike agree that the crop is now in splendid condition. It must also be remembered that rise in prices may check the spot demand at any time. There are no signs of speculative revival as yet and we are inclined to think that If the crop continues to improve no advance of consequence can be long sustained. Sales of the summer months. however, are un- doubtedly extremely dangerous
