 There is much in the tarpon fisher, more in the guide, and most of all in luck.
 A hook on the bottom of Captive bars may be swallowed by anything from snapper to q shark.
 A tarpon pulled MT. Conner several miles out in the gulf, made lunge, broke the line, landed MT Conner in the bottom of the boat and cast his rod and reel over board.
 Mir Moore's tarpon carried him out in the gulf and about two miles down the beach beforeshe was landed.
 The mosquitoes on the netting every morning were so thick that they had to pull it apart to see the sun rise.
 The cat fish in the river are very abun- dant. When the guide prepares the null let for bait, they congregate around the boat in satnumbeTs. They will eat out of the hard, nibble the fingers, and With fish language beg for more. There is great danger Of their so crowding the boat as to raise it out of the water. In that case the method of relief is to cut a few mullet to pieces and scatter them some u1Sldnee around the boat, WHsb lle fish on the outside make for the boat; the next layer follows, and the next and next until the boat is allowed to settle down in the swater and the guide paddles away in safety (only one of the party vouches for this).
 There are two kinds of people in Flcr ida, the suckers and the sucked. The suckers are. those who live there; the sucked are sick Yankees and tarpon fishermen.

strong tone that marked it at the close of
the week previous Staple cottons are

that still further Improvement will be
made with the advance of the week. The

of good-sized transactions reported.
Coarse colored cottons, in the more prom
inent markets, show continued good re-
