HAVEN AND SHOUTS COTTON
LETTER.

New York. July 9.-(Spccial.)- CondI-
tons throughout the cotton bclt anu
prces for the stable are practically I'M
changed from those of Il week ago. Ihe
trade has eagerly scanned the weather
map from day to day. but has 1ound
little in the rains which have fallen III
the Atlantic States and the warm
weather prevailing in Mississippi ana
Texas to awaken apprehension. WINE
fiattcring prospects tend to render Il
good yield the more highly probable the
longer they continue, the fact that Il
good crop has seldom been gathered
without some setback, leads even the
most sanguine bears to temporarily cur
tail their operations.
Our fleets great victory and the immi-
nence of the fall of Santiago had n
stimulating effect upon prices early IN
the week. and the prospect of general
revival of trade and speculation as
consequence Of the restoration of peace
led some of the leading houses ana
operators to espousc the bull side Of the
market But crop accounts continued
so exceptionally favorable that the up
ward movement soon lost its force
There still appears to be an undertone
OF strength pervading the market and q
more general disposition to support
prices than for some time past. This Is
due largely to the covering of shorts
upon every incident tending to indicate
an early ending Of the war. If an, early
peace is established and the expected
trade demand for cotton materializeS,
the market will probably respond to
some extent in spite of the favorable
crop outlook, but rs yet this is a matter
for the future We think the market
will continue small and narrow pend
ing the development of the crop and
definite political news.
The textile market shows no new fea-
lures. Out of town buyers are arriving
in the city. and there is Il we'll dstri-
butcd spot trade. Stocks III first hands
are generally not excessive. Rather en-
couracing reports come from Manchester
owing to the better outlook in
India caused by the favorable breaking
up of the Monsoon.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. July 9.-The bullish senti-
ment on the stock exchange was IN
mistakable to-day, and carried prices
aggressiycly upward during the two
hours of the session, routing the bears
and defeating their rather feeble efforts
to work reaction. Some professional
traders were skeptical about the char
acter of the buying of the last two
days, regarding it as a Vancouver TO at
tract outside buying to realize on. and
they attempted TO check the advancing
tendency by renewing yesterdays nj
tack on the coalers. This group of
stocks proved easy victims on account of
the demoralized condition of the antbra-
cite industry, owing to the increasing
competition of gas as fuel and the ex-
IRENE cheapness of btuminOus coal!
The losses ranged from IL to 21a. This
drive against the coalers did, in fact. I'M

But the character of the buying at the
decline made it evident that the stocks
absorbed during the last two days had
been taken for something more than Il

DANGEROUSLY INQUISITIVE.
The Exciting Situation of = Venture
somc Little Girl at the
philadelphia Zoe.

The Philadelphia Record says that a
big grizzly bear at the Zoo" had lots
of fun" one afternoon not long ago.
This may or may not Ice true. but il
is plain from the Records narrative
that lady and a little girl had pret-
ty severe fright.
Among the visitors 10 the bear-pits
was a woman accompanied by girl OF
six or seven summers. They stood close
TO the railing at the top OF the pit in
which the grizzly was confined, and
were very muck absorbed in cOutempla-
tion Of Bruin. Suddenly there was a
loud shrek from the girl, followed by a
series OF screams. The child had
squeezed her head between The bars
and, finding that she couldn't getit out,
was screaming to her "auntie" for help.
-lt first the lady regarded the matter
as a joke, but when she found that no
amount ot pulling and tugging would
eN.rIcate the girl she. too, became fran
tic
Meanwhile the bear, surprised at the
unusual racket, climbed up the pole in
the center Of the pit until he was on a
level with the railing, and wagged his
head. This proceeding, taken as a mani
fcstation of hostility. served TO increase
the terror of the child, who redoubIed
.Icr screams.
Then one of the keepers came run
hing up. and pried apart the bars with
lie handle of a shovel until the girls
head was released.

LOOKS OUT FOR RATIONS.
A Ships Dog That Always stores Up
supply of Bones for Long
Sea Voyage.

Aboard the Portuguese bark Indus
tria, there is an intelligent little mon
gIel dog, which always attracts atten-
ton among the people at the Point
whenever the steamer comes there,
says the Philadelphia Record. They
call the animal "Scaycnger," by reason
of his peculiar trait Of gathering to him
self ali the old bones he can find and
boarding them up to serve as food on
his long voyage home to Lisbon. The
Industrial pulled into Point Breeze late
ly and the dog was ashore before she
touched her wharf. Scavenger was i'm
patient to get after his bones, and when
the opportunity offered he jumped from
the steamer TO a ting. thence to a lighter
and from there to the shore. He found
a good likely bone cy the time his fOat-
ing home had tied up to the wharf and
hurried aboard to hide il. His great sa-
Cacity leads him to the most OUt-of-the-
way parts of the ship. where he knows
his treasures are not likely to be found
and disturbed. All week Scavencer was
found as busy laying in his stores as
the men were loading the cargo Of
oil, and had kept this work up until the
last whistle blew. One of the workmen
who watched the dog expressed the
opinion that Scavengcr had not less than
$50 bones stored away aboard ship.
