 Lower July Report.

New York, July 6.-The cotton market opened quiet and steady at a decline of 1@2 points, cables being unsatisfactory and crop accounts no worse, if not better, than yesterdays advices. Later the mar ket dragged and was weak without fur ther change until the carry afternool, when steadier feeling followed a demand from the shorts without any particular new fea- ture to explain the unexpected movement May covering soon became quite general, and the market slowly worked up to to points above yesterdays closing. On the rise there was some investment buying on the part of outsiders, but it failed to ma terialize to any extent A preference to hold off for the July government crop re- port was apparent. The character as well as the volume of business was unsaus- factory today There was d decided lack of outside interest. At the lowest point the market showed decline of 1012 points; at the best a net advance of 445 Apoints and was finally steady net unchanged to points lower.

messy buds, full-blown blossoms, fallen

cobwebby meshes as lavishiy as if the days

Spring Millinery.
As breadth of appearance decreases, so
cubits of height are added. long skirt, a
long, tapering waist and a hat trimmed
high appear as certainly together as the
three fates.
There is a stiffness in the bearing of the
earliest spring millinery. Flower stalks six
inches tall or more are securely bedded In
the dem-seasoned felt or straw; they BIOS

differing species. Roses, crocuses, V1olets
and hyacnths are borne on the same stem
which. lest it sink under so strange bur
den, is bound with wire and ribbon. The
effect Is that of a military cockade-to be
worn in war of the roses.

A little girl frequently fancied she saw
bears and tigers whenever she happened to
awake in the night Presumably she dream
ed of some danger, maybe on account Of
having eaten too much for supper or hav-
ing eaten the wrong kind Of food. At any
rate, she frequently awoke crying in the
night, and in her fear interpreted the dim
outlines of dress or a curtain as fear
full beast that was about TO attack her. The
best thing to do is to deal tenderly with
such fancies and remove the child as far
as possible from the object that has caused
her excitement Then, if you can do so
without disturbing the other children light
the lamps and let IL fall full on the thing
that has given risa to her fear. Be slow
and express your opinion first as a kind Of
preliminary assumption that the bear may
after all be mammals skirt or the curtain
moving in the draft; and when this com
forting probability is understood, follow ed
your advantage and declare il to be a good
joke that 4 harmless piece of cloth should
look like a fearful animal. Make the cLild
smile at the incongruity of her fancy, a,ld
her laugh will cure the horror of the dfeam
and dispel the nightmare as sunshine dis
solves the mist.
