Curious Growth of Oysters

Mr.. Henry Haar, superintendent OF
the Wrightsville turnpike, on yesterday
presented us a curiosity in the shape
of a piece of ~gaspipe, three feet long,
containing the shells of more than a
100 oysters. He found it while trimming
UP a cedar tree alongside of the
of the Manning place at Wrightsvllle
Sound. Some one had roasted the oyS-
valves, leaving the shells sticking TO
the pipe. Most of the oysters were
good sized and the pipe must have af-
forded a bCunteful repast to somebody.

RIORDAN & co.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, March 2.-There was a
further rise in cotton futures today.
The advance was due to higher cables
from Liverpool and heavy exports. The
penin was steady at an advance of
2 'O 4 points Oh the more active posi-
tons, on covering by shorts and large
purchases for Wall street account. New
Orleans and Liverpool were also buy
ers, and what little selling there was,
was chiefly by longs securing profits.
In the afternoon prices held to the
high level on continued covering by
shorts and predictions of smaller re-
ceipts than estimated tomorrow. The
close was steady with near months
to 5 points higher and distant months
unchanged to 3 points higher.

New York, March 2.-The undertone
of the cotton market was good again
today n prices were higher. Liver
pool was quite favorable, the cables re-
porting a good spot demand. There was
an advance of 2-64d. Our market open
4 points higher on this crop and / point
higher on the mex The weakness on
the fan and winter months was due to
heavy sales for Liverpool of those pO-
sitiOns. This vas the solitary unfavor-
able feature of the day. The demand
in the south was good. No attention
is paid to the movement. May opened
at GIG, declined to eli, advanced to
6.21 and closed $40 to 6.21, with the
tone of the market steady. The feel
ing here has become quite hopeful and
higher prices are not unlikely.
