COTTON.
New York, Dee 2233-Attention of
room traders on the cotton exchange to-
day was given over largely to the adj
justment of accounts. Outside orders
were very scarce, and at times trading
came to full halt. The scope of fiuc-
uations was Il mere five points. and ut
no time during the session could the
market have been said to be in con
troll of either bulls or bears. Sentiment
was very much mixed early i'll the day
owing to conflicting reports from the
South regarding the status~of the spot
markets and TO something of surprise
iii the weeks statistical changes The
opening was quiet and steady with
prices unchanged to = points higher.
the better feeling resulting chiefly from
more favorable cables from Liverpool
than had been expected and Indications
that receipts would not exceed those
of yesterday. Shortly after the call,
however. liquidation set in on a small
scale. following a slight reaction abroad
and assurances that the crop movement
would considerably oyer-run conservative
early estimates. Several Of the leading
bears aided the decline by hammering
the March and May deliveries. Later
in the session business fell off owing the
scattered operations of the professional
element. who directed efforts TO clean
ing up affairs pending the three days
adjournment. The South sold from
time TO time during the day and few
mixed orders We're. received from Liy-
erpool, but this class Of business was too
small to have great weight. Thecloss
was steady with prices / to 2 points net
higher.

Too Much tIongoose.

In 1872 Mr.. w. Bancroft Espeut import.
ed four pairs of the Indian mongoose from
Calcutta into Jamaica for the purpose OF
destroying the cane piece rat. Ten years
later it was estimated that the saving TO
the colony through the work Of this ami
nal amounted TO ai00, 600 annually. Then
came sudden change in the aspect OF
affairs. 1t was found that the mongoose
destroyed all ground nesting birds, and
that the poultry, as well as the insectiyo-
.cus reptiles and batrachians of the island,
wero being exterminated by 1t. Injurious
insects increased in consequence a thou
sandfold. The temporary benefits of the
introduction were speedily wiped away.
and the mongoose became pest
Domestic animals, including young
pigs, kids lambs, newly dropped calves,
puppies and kittens were destroyed by il,
while it also ate ripe bananas, pineapples,
young corn, avocado pears, sweet potatoes,
cocoas, yams, peas, sugar cane, meat and
salt provisions and fish. Now, we are
told, nature has made another effort to
restore the balance. With the increase Of
insects due To the destruction by the
mongoose of their destroyers has come an
increase of ticks, which are destroying the
mongoose, aud al Jamaioans rejoice. --Na
