Houston, Monday, May 10
Future sales OF only $500 bales in New
York and $500 in New Orleans shows the
apathy in cotton speculation. Fluctuations
are narrow aud investors with money are
turning their attention to grain and provis-
ions, where action is quick and margins wide
enough to guarantee big profits when the
money is up on the right side.
The spot markets all closed unchanged
with prices In favor of buyers in Liverpool,
where sales we're moderate.
Liverpool futures showed a decline OF l-6i
to 2-e4. and New York and New orleans are
down to points.
The Liverpool market will be closed on the
2Sth and Goth. on account Of the Whitsuntide
holidays.
II has been decided to discontinue posting
the expected receipts Dor Houston and New
Orleans until after the new season opens up.
Port receipts today were SS5i, against 1906
last year and 5535 In 1895.

been in LewistOwn since 1t became a
town. Mr.. Badgers ride from Mar
tinsdale to Okla, Saturday night, was
a most dangerous undertaking, asan
awful blizzard prevailed and the
stage was frequently lost in the
storm. The nine miles from Hay
maker to the Bower ranch consumed
nearly six hours, and it was only by
very careful proceeding that the stage
continued on the journey. As a re-
suit of the ride Mr.. Badgers face was
quite severely frozen. His many
friends were pleased to meet the
Judge, but regretted that such unpleas-
ant circumstances necessitated his
coming.
The benefit given Friday evening
last at Culver's hall, the proceeds
from which were given to Owen
Couchman, the young man who
recently lost a leg, was very credit
able to the performers and was en-
joyed by a good sized audience. 1t ID
hardly necessary here to speak of
each of those who participated as
nearly all took part in the Society
Minstrels presented two weeks ago.
Mr.. Ed. Folmsbee was certainly
the star performer. his entrance up
on the stage being greeted with
liberal applause and he was called
pack several times. His talents are
a UrAn nd6tNn tn nyu
performers. In an Irish character
Mr.. Folmsbee kept the audience In
laughter. Mr.. Winans
sang "The Little Hero" with much
his listeners followed every
word of this pathetic song. Miss
Noble and Miss Mabel
appeared as sOloists while
Mr.. Hanke, as IN. Kelly" attired in
a wonderful makeup, sang that
popular melody "A Prodigal Son"
much to the amusement of his hear
ers. Frank Morrison and Miss
Mahana danced the clog and Joe
rendered several beautiful
on his harmonica. Kiddo
c~aricatures of prominent
creating an uproar of laugh
ter, and Mr.. Bernier gave the
audience some excellent advice in a
serious vein. Mr.. Bernier
is excellent. The skirt dance by Miss
Judith Waite was very pretty. The
program vas well worth the
price. After paying all expenses
800 was left and this, in addition to
$50 raised by the liberal people OF
Gilt Edge, has been handed to Mr..
or which he is sincerely
grateful. The young man is doing
and will soon leave his bed.
