A Pretty Show Window.

There is nothing so attractive in a business house as pretty show window. and a prettier one was never seen i1 Pine Bluff than is that which brings all passers-hy to halt in front of S. A. Rosenbefg's book store. The window contains q dis play of decorative wolk, soarran&ed as to represent a ssun burst. All the tints in nature are boldly shown but so hurmoniously blended as to produce q magnificent picture.
 The arrangement of the windo" was the work of Mir. Horace Holiness the advertising man of the great clothing house of Isaac Dreyfus. MT. Holmes possesses great talent, not alone as a decoratoe of windows, but is also an engraver of no mean order. 1t is his brain that designs ana his hands that works out the many handsome "cuts" which appear Tn the ads for Isaac Dreyfus' clothing house.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Agricultural Department figures
Out the Seasons Crop.
THE FALL MONTHS WERE DEPRESSED.
Futures Closed Lower in the Amer
lean Markets-Bix Decrease In
the WORLDS supply.
Office Of Thu POS.

ftouSucll, SATURDAY, April ~.
The governments cotton report was Is
sued today, but local traders havo not yet
decided whether that or the natural lack
of interest caused the slight decline in
values on this side, Liverpool futures
advanced i1-6id on tho near months ana
spots showed a gain of l-S2d. New YORK
closed to points down on the summer
months. while the distant positions de-
clined TO s points In New orleans tho
loss on futures was 3 TO points, the new
crop deliveries suffering the greatest de-
cline. The southern spot markets were
generally firm, and unchanged, with a tair
demand reported.
The report OF the agricultural bureau.
which came In two months late, gives the
railway movement to February /, the
amount remaining on plantations and at
orter.or towns. and the amount taken by
southern, Northern and Canadian mills.
The returns appear 10 be very complete
and are given in fun elsewhere. From tho
figures compiled ME government csti-
mates the total crop at s.5SI.S10 CONNER
cal bales. The bears say that. adding
on the governments usual percentage OF
errors which are all nearly always on
the deficit side. these figures would mean
AN actual crop in the neghborhood OF
1900. 600 bales
The bulls contend that the government .
returns have evidently been doubled up
somewhere and predict that the total crop
will miss S,5Si, 600 by at least 1900 bales.
They point to the Texas figures. in which
the department estimates a total crop of
2.312.i5i bales as perfectly ridiculous. The
actual amount brought into sight In this
State by April l would seem TO Indicate
a crop of only 100000 for Texas. For
the crop to reach 2.372 600 1t would be nee
essary TO receive 90, 600 bales from Aprii
] TO September /. or lS7. 600 bales more
than were received in 1S9i-95. the season
Texas produced $4,000 bales.
