things in the local cotton market Officially
the opening was dull ut last nights prices.
All through the short session the crowd was
purposeless and exceptionally few trades were
made. Tho fact that Liverpool was closed
tended TO increase the indifference OF the pro-
tessiona brunch or the trade aud eflectually
checked investment business. The weather
charts showed warm clear weather in all por-
tons OF the belt with no signs OF an imme
date change. Private telegraphic Information
reported considerable suffering by tho plant
In number OF states from drouth cut worms
and grasshoppers. Reports from Fall River

The Monument

This splendid monument to the i'm
mortal Bard OF Ayr which now stands
unveiled by all its granite grandure upon
the High School Grounds was cut in the
Barclay Brothers of this city, from Barre
granite.
The monument was designed by
Barclay Brothers, who in the design and
cutting of the work have abundantly
proved their love for the memory Of
Hobby Burns. They have most gem
erously contributed to the monument
fund and besides gave the monument
free of cost.
The statue of Burns was modelled by
by j. Massey Rhind of New York. the
brilliant young Scotch American sculp-
tor who designed the bronze doors of
Trinity, the Sufus King memorial, the
Calherm stntue, the decorations of many
splendid commercial buildings and
churches, and various other beautiful
statues. Mr.. Rhind was born in Edn-
burgh, and inhcrits his talent from a
father and grandfather who were noted
European sculpturs. His brothers
were all sculptors, excepting one VIII
is Il successful London architect. Mr..
Rhind was Il pupil of Delaw, and a
student at the Royal Academy.
The statue was sculptured by Samual
Novelli of this city. The panels of the
die were nodded by j. b. King of Mil
ford, N. IL. and sculptured by Eli Corti
OF this city. The whole monument is of
Barre granite. and so far AS known tn
statue is the only granite statue of Burnse

Hope springs cxutingly on triumphant wing
That thus they all shall meet in future days:
