From he App'eton (WIS) Crescent.
Quite q number of the boys OF this city are
putting in their spare time gathering Indian
relics. There Is good money in them. and also
lots OF hard work. The relics most sought for
are copper. spears and arrows. pottery, axes
and almost anything that has become very
scarce. Nearly everything that is copper COM
mands high price, all the way from SIS to $50
The firms for which the collections are bought
up are New York companies, which furnish tho
boys limited amount Of funis with which to
session. Of the relies the boys have to take
Inquiries at the, different farmhouses
y is not a, difficult matter 10 find
the relics, hut it is almost impossible to buy
them, The moment the owner has suspicion
that they are worth anything, that moment he
refuses to part wit them under any considera-
tion. The boys frequently locate n dozen or
more relics day, but often return empty

New York, April 3.-The usual ac-
emulation over Sunday of buy at

prevailing figure for call money on

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

New York, April 3.-As there were no
English advices on account of Easter
HOLIDAYS. the local market for cotton
was quite narrow, there being an alb
sence or speculative support from out
side sources, while room traders were
pessimistic on account of the generally
pearish indications regarding the pro-
gress of the new crop preparations.
The market opened quiet as n decline
or l to points, and further declined
to points. with scarcely II reaction.
AT the best the market was n very
small one. Selling was finally checked
by forecasts of moderate receipts for
to-morrow. The weather map was gen
orally favorable, as were also the gem
eral run of private advices and gossip
respecting the crop situation. The eX-
ception was in the condition of the
weather in Texas; this was said to
have reached Il drought crisis These
reports. however. failed to stimulate n
speculation or to alarm the bear con
tingent enough to cause them to cover,
although they did check selling for
short account. Just before the close
