Cotton Letter

New York, March 3.-Liverpool was dis appointing today and the local cotton mar ket was lower. Instead of showing strength, as expected, Liverpool declined one sixty-fourth. The market here opened one to three points down. The trading throughout the day was narrow and large ly local. There was some disposition to attack values, but fairly good investment demand was always present and absorbed the offerings sufficiently well to prevent any real weakness. The possible outcome of the strained relations with Spain con- tinues disturbing feature. May opened at 6.7S, advanced to 6.2O, declined to 6.16 and closed at 6.17@6. .18, with the tone of the market steady. The southern market continues to hold its own and while this lasts no serious break is robable.

Paine, Murphy S Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, March 3-There was considerable strength in the market at the opening. London was a feature, selling high priced stocks. Features were trac- tions and Industrials, Sugar tip was out for 13O but after an advance of points, the bulletins from Washington claimed the president had received partial official re- port from the court of inquiry, proving the Maine was destroyed by outside agency. The market broke from 1 to points on this rumor the greatest decline being Tn Sugar. This rumor was denied by news bureau and the market rallied. Cables from London claim Spain preparing Tor war had the effect of again making a feverish market. The situation IS this' Nothing definite is known, and although everything outside of the Cuban matter favors advances, still Wall street Is pre- pairing itself to follow whatever courses coming events produce. Closing prices showed rallies.

 However. losses were quickly recovered on renewed rumors regarding complications with Spain, these reports were contradic- tory and the effect soon died out.

These advices and with assist auce of liberal selling orders caused decid- ed weakness during closing hour.

New York. Aug. 19--R. G. Dun e. Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
\ war which brought no shrinkdsc of
business while it lasted has brought with
its cndinS a quite remarkable expansion.
orders and purchases have increased in
nearly all branches. few as yet being of
such nature that they can be attributed
to the material enlargement of trade with
the Lately Spanish islands which must
come Il little later. 1t Is odd that the iron
industry while reporting decline in pro-
ducts shows the most surprising gains.
Hoth returns of output August ! show
considerable decrease from July but that
entire decrease is caused by the stnppagc
OF two Shenango and -four Mahoning fur
naccs under agreement to force higher
prices for bcsscmcr pig, In all other
States showing the changed output in
creased excepting for one furnace in Viz
ginil The demand for finished products
expands remarkably, considering the
enormous orders prior to July, which
crowd some of the biggest works until
December Structural orders include
many bridges and the Drainage canal
contract for i000 tons at Chicago. Tin
plate works which require 1000 tons per
month have been buying 10000 tons bars
ana steel works there have bought l2jO0O
tons pig, raising the price to 5000.

THE WICKED kNORT.
He Makes More Trouble In Lapland Than
the MnsuuitO.

The Sun was shining brightly through
the window of the little wooden hut as
tumblcd out of bed on Aug. 10 last year.
Three days tramp from the Norwegian
coast across rough fields and spongy boys,
one long day of rowing and shooting rap
ids, varied with spells OF walking round
the dangerous falls had brought us late
Che night before to this little settlement
in Lapand The dozea inhabitants, part
SwcdcS part Lapps, were already hard ut
work on their soanty harvest. and beyond
the small field | caught a glimpse of tho
river, here widening out into n glitterinS
lake, shining like a sheet OF silver, scarce
~ rufflcd by a breath Of wind. What .
morning for bath How gloriously re-
freshing to travel tired limbs
Look outr' cried Jack. Tho rooms

The air was suddenly shrill with the high
pitched, hungry whistle of the mosquito
Tho window | had observed before WIS
tightly closed-indccd would not open.
Tho wide platform fireplace was stuffed
up with green boughs. Perhaps my broth
er had opened the door too boldly and had
been lost in admiration of the snow line
mountains in the distance or the creatures
had worked way down the chimney. At
few, and for five minutes nothing was
heard from us but the steady puff, puff Of
our lips as we filled the room with clouds
of Supplying tobacco smoke.
One sometimes hears people who have
only met the mosquito in its milder form,
perhaps in Norway or Central sweden, or
in southern countries, or possibly IN Lap
land in favorable years, or lato in tho
season, maintain that its terrors are much
exaggerated. / have not found it so. The
worst accounts that had heard of it be-
fore l visited the country did not come
anywhere near the reality. And even If
the mosquito crop be u comparative failure
in any season, there is II far more deadly

natcly are comparatively rare in Lapland.
His bite is practically painless. You rare
