COTTON MARKET NERVOUS.
The Fluctuations Were Heavy Sew
eraI Times During the Day.


New York, Aug. 15.-More pacific condi-
tons prevailed at the Cotton Exchange
to-day, yet the market was still very
active. Neilps cotton crop report, fore
casting the possibility of a 100000
bale crop produced some effect upon the
local market through it's influence upon
the cables, which declined 3d35 at Liv-
orpool. The Liverpool decline was ascrib-
cd, by private cables chiefly to Neill's
circular. The market opened steady, with
decline of s TO 8 points.
fflceS, however, were soon back again
TO Yesterdays closing figures on buying
I'r Wal street account and covering on
large scale. The effects of Nell's esti-
mate We're felt when this demand subsid-
81, ana the market again turned weak
and prices fell away sharply The govern
m"nt chart failed TO Indicate any sign Of
ram - The Southwest, and Texas reports
continued bad. Despite this general out
slde support Was withdrawn and for the
remainder OF the session local sentiment
was exceedingly nervous.
A. one time in the afternoon the net
decline was a matter Of l2nA points due
principally 10 liquidation following the ap-
pearance of outside selling orders. The
MARKET was finally steady, at net decline
Of lGal3 points.

WHEN l AM DEAD.

When | am dead
Bring roses red,
And poppies-blooms of rest
And heap them on my breast,
That | may breathe their perfume deep
And sleep and sleep and sleep.
No flowers white,
For chill delight
Give me on that glad day,
But bend and smale and say
Bring blooms that burn and light and
glow
She loved all warmth and color SOL
And all about my feet
Drop clovers pink and sweet.
Why should you lay those cold white
things
On the heart where lie with folded
wings,
The cold, dead bird of song?
Dearest, the last night is so long
pray you pile the peoples deep
Upon my breast that / may sleep.
When l am dead
Let the suns red
Strike through the uncurtained pane,
From off the singing main;
Yes, everything must sing that day
When | go on my glad new way,
And If there should be any tears.
Let them be for my wasted years
And not for me. Throw all the win
dows wide
And let the strong surge of the tide
Come sounding once more up the hill.
And / shall hear it still!
And each homecoming wave
shall say:
BE glad, be very glad today
And for the last time / shall hear,
But after that 1 would not hear,
For sweet as thought of hearing seems
Who hears must dream, and would
have no dreams!
So pile the crimson peoples deep
For a long, dreamless sleep!

TO JEANNE.

JEANNE, with your eyes as mild as
May
Eyes in which delight doth dancing
roll;
Happy, happy like to melody,
Or poet singing to the soul.
All! your voice is trembling like the
rill,
When the passing wind his love con-
Tossing,
Love that's sweetly whispered, then so
still
Still as the dew the gowan fair ca
ressing.
Yes, your waving hair hath glow OF
gold,
Like the falling moonshine's sleepy
That's reflected from the river bold,
Like the loTe hetwixt us-you and
me.

THE SPRITE OF THE HILL

When Moons are hot and very still. h
It's no for the sprite that lives on the
hill!
Stealing along from nook to nook,
Over the stones in the mountain brook
Along the path where the cattle go,
On shyest ways that the hill-folk
know
Through sunny open and leafy alley
Down he HES him into the valley.
Then the thistle-wheel round and
round
Goes rolling and rolling without
sound,
And silver simmer runs over the
pond,
And he runs after, and on beyond,
Swings the wild cherries asleep by the
wall,
Rufus the fur of squirrel, and that Is
A Whit of sweet from the wood orNthe
meadow
He is here again, on the back of atsha-
dow,
And it's crickle on crickle along the
track
his quick feet make on the shadows
back,
OH he jumps, and, whisking up,
Spills sunshine out of buttercup,
And yellow bugs, all shiny and lazy,
Tumbles headlong off the daisy.
He tickles the rib of fat old toad;
He smothers the mulleins with smoke
of the road
The fun's just beginning-still! all
still!
The sprite has gone home to the top of
the hill.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Throughout it's
open session the senate considered the
executive, legislative and judicial ap-
preparation bill. A lively debate was
precipitated over an appropriation for
the support of the Office of the super
visin architect of the treasury and
that official was criticised for the de-
lay in the construction of public
buildings throughout the United
States.
Washington, Feb. 1o.-Chairman
Cannon, of the appropriations COM
mittee, in the course of the general de-
bate on the sundry civil bill, sounded a
note of warning against extravaganza
appropriations and practically serveu
notice that neither the ship subsidy
bill, nor the Nicaragua canal bill could
be passed at this session. Mr..
Cannon, in charge of the sundry
civil bill, made general analysis of
what 1t contained. 1t carries S62,92S,-
101. but s20.0O0.000 is for payment to
Spain to carry out the provisions of
the Paris treaty. Exclusive of that
the bill carries sS.O95,75 less than es-
timated, and s5.929.311 less than the
current law. The secretary OF the
treasury in October last, Mr.. Cannon
said, had estimated the deficiency of
revenues for the fiscal year ending July
l, 1893, to be sIl2.000,0O0. The actual
deficiency up to February /. 1899, was
ssS,l5l,OO0. At this rate the deficiency
for the fiscal year will be $3.50. 900, 600.
But this would not include the $780,
100000 provided by the bill to carry
out the provisions of the Paris treaty.
The cash balance in the treasury Feb
ruary l, including the 500. 0OO,0 900 gold
reserve, was s274,O00.0OO 5000, O0O. 0O5
OF that has been put into revenue by
the war loan. Deducting the monthly
estimated deficiency for the next .dye
months, there woald be. tai
