Among other soecla'ties that We're strong

as bear argument, but crop damage re-
ports caused the grangers to be sold freely
Important bull interests seemed to bid up
their properties in the forenoon, but we re
not heavy buyers, judging by appearances.

(3y Private Wire to r. G.. Hewlett Agt)
Birmingham. April 13.-Cotton declined l
to 2 points in Liverpool today and this
market ruled weak on liquidating sales
though Europeans covered old crop deliy-
cries. As compared with last year, the port
and interior receipts and stocks are increas-
ing, and the demand is not active enough
to bring cotton freely to the parts which
is a bearish feature. Favorable weather
and absence of stimulating features may
cause further closing of specultive holdings
and force the market lower, as there is lit
tie disposition to take the bull side of the
market.

NET LOSS OF 6 TO 7 POINTS
Occurred on the Days Trading, Good
Weather in the Cotton Belt Be-
ing One of the Causes of
the Decline.

New York. April 13.--Heavy liquidation
OF long cotton characterized todays mar
ket for cotton futures. The bulls made
something OF a stand at tho beginning Of
the opening call, which started at un-
changed prices and finished at decline OF
8 points Immediately following the cal
there was sharp break.
Large selling orders from New Orleans
and Philadelphia supplemented the local
selling movement which in ITSELF was one
of the features of the session, relieved in q
local way by some Wall street buying,
mostly for Liverpool, although continental
traders were also buyers on the same class
of transactions, having been consistent
sellers last fall and recently showing dis
position to secure the handsome profits
which they have in sight.
The direct bearish influence was the fine
weather reported to he prevalent through
OUT the cotton belt. There were also some
further unfavorable reports from New Eng
land At the weakest point the market
showed loss of points as compared with
the final figures of yesterday. The close
was steady at a net loss of 647 points.

Ordered to Discard stays

The minister of education of Saxony
has issued a decree that hereafter all
girls and young women who attend the
public schools and colleges of Saxony
shall discard corsets and stays.
The decree is the result of vigorous
agitation in the press and public lee
lures of the medical fraternity. Physi-
clans have been unanimous in their de-
nunciation of the alarming increase OF
tight lacing, especially in Dresden and
other large cities of Saxony. The prac-
tice has become SO prevalent that chill
dren at the age of 10 and 10 years have
become addicted to tight lacing, and II
is feared that the continuance of the
custom Nill prove fatal to posterity.

TO REDUCE SEAL HERDS.
The California Fish Commission VIII
Send Out Killing Ex-
pedittons.

The Pacific coast seal herds are to be
reduced without interference by the
government. The treasury department.
has indorsed the movement, and in
structions have been issued to Com
mander Sebree, of the Twelfth light
house district, to allow the California
fish commission to send deputies to the
Farallones, Ano Nuevo, Point Reyes
and other reservations for the purpose
of killing seals.
In accordance with the instructions,
the commissioners will send out an ex-
pedition of four men. Two will go to
the Farallones and two to Ano Nuevo
point. Owing to the numerous COM
plants from fishermen along the Sac
ramento river, it may be found neces-
sary to send launch to cruise ON the
tributaries of the bay.
A rigid set of rules has been drawn
by the government TO regulate the
slaughter of the sea lions and seals. No
person except those designated by the
commission will be allowed on the res
ervation while the animals are being
killed.

CAT FALLS SEVEN STORIES.
Brindle Tom Would Have Lived But
for n "Humane" Chicago
Policeman.

Bill, brindle tomcat that lived in
the Dubuque apartments, Chicago EMU
lated the greedy example of the dog
which saw the shadow of chunk of
meat in the water and jumped from the
seventh story window at a sparrow,
missing, and falling to the stone pave
ment. Bills antics in midair were
watched by many persons, who say that
he turned dozen somersaults before he
came to earth, and then scampered
away through the alley. A policeman,
overzealous and hankering to display
his firearms, followed Bill to the back
yard, and, ignorant of the enduring
qualities of brindle tomcat, sent a bull
let into the feline's head to end it's sup
posed suffering. The small boys in the
neighborhood held post-nortem ex-
animation, which disclosed the fact that
no bones were broken in poor Bills
body, and 1t is believed that if the po-
liceman had not been awaF aned by the
cats fall nothing more serious than the
disappointment of losing a dinner
would have resulted.
