market eased off 7G10 points from the best

tolerated by generally favorable crop and

ing the week from the amount of cotton
available The visible supply of American
cotton tonight is 2,625 600 bales, which Is
a smaller visible supply than we have
had at any time since 1890, when, with a
consumption about SO per cent. less than
at present cotton went to 1874 cents.
1t looks as If the world was fast running
into a natural corner and there is no
reason in our opinion why those who hold
the remnant of this crop should sell 1t
below ten cents per pound. At the present
rate of absorption every bale in existence
will have disappeared before August l.,
and prices must go to a point that will
check consumption. At present consump-
ton is apparently undiminished. Vigor-
Gus efforts have been made by exporting
firms in New York during the past two
days to break the market in the hope that
they may secure the cotton they require
more cheaply; but the impression that
has been made upon it is tritiing and
the addition to the short interest is at
least 100000 bales. The short interest in
August contracts alone in New York we
estimate at 10000 bales.-ad.

Montpelier's New Trade.

Within the last year or two Mont
pelier has had new field. of trade
open to it, It IL from the innumer-
able sheep herds now ranging in
the adjacent mountains. Some
trade has been derived from this
source in former years, but during
the past season this trade has in
creased many fold until to-day it is
one of the largest the city has.
And this is not all. Many car
loads of wool will be shipped from
this point this year, and every sea-
son hereafter will sec these ship
ments increased. More owners Of
sheep are making Bear Lake their
home as the years go by, and
Montpelier is the buying point for
all these sheepmen.
For example, last Tuesday no less
than fifteen wagons loaded with
wool came down Montpelier canyon
and other days it is the same. All
these take out more or less of sup
niles from our stores. All this
money is having a good effect on
trade and is a proverbial remark
that money has never been ''easier"

Problems of Imperialism.

Judge William H. Taft and his
colleagues Of the Philippine Civil
Commission were beset during their
drst week in Manila by a multitude
OF callers ofall nationahties, profes-
slons and interests, who presented a
bewildering assortment of recon-
mendatlons touching military and
civil politics. The Commissioners
maintained the attitude of unpreiu~
dlced listeners. They admit that,
while they anticipate an enormous
task, the completely and difficulty
OF the problems and conditions are
well nigh staggering
One of the foremost questions is
how and from what material to or
ganiSe civilforce with which grad
ualiy to supersede the army as a
governing machine. Spain's auxil~
larry, the church, is barred from con-
sideration> American experience
with the natives discourages the
hope Of honest government through
them until generation or more
have eradicated the results of Spain's
tutelage, A large proportion of
the provincial officials already in
stalled have proven treacherous,
while the native police and officials
here in Manila are living on a scale
of luxury euspiciously disproportion-
ate to their salaries, Charges
against native judges of failing to
account for thousands of dollars re-
ceived in fines are under investiga-
ton.
The Commissioners also find that
the future state of. the church in the
Philippines is leading question IN
the minds of many, although most
of those who have talked with
Judge Taft and his colleagues, draw
the inference that the Commission
ers are opposed to the reinstatement
of the friars. Archbishop Chapel
lie has taken a strong stand in sup
porting the request of the friars to
be established in their old position.

SILLY VOWS WELL KEPT.
Artist Whose hasterpieoe Was Due t.
 an ostn He Took.

The French artist. Gerieamd. was determined to allow no distraction tn interfere with the painting of his great picture, The Wreck If the Medusa." ;" He had his head shaved and vowed that he would never allow his hair to grow until his work was done. This VOW he religious!y kept. in spite of strong temptation to break it, and the reward of his heroism was the most perfect painting of his life. A story ia told of young man in F gland. great chess enthusiast, who was sJ annoyed at his failure to solve an ap- parently simple problem that he vowed he would neither sleep nor eat until the solution was found He shut nim- self ID in disused room and was found four days later by his relatives terribly emaeiated and out of his mind. tie spent year iii the lunatic asylum Rs the result of his rash VOW; and the problem remains unsolved. It was for very curious reason that an old lady. who died few years ago, condemned herself to more than thirty years confinement to her house She had married @ widower, as nfserly as he vas anromantie, and he insisted that his second wife should wear the clothes left behind her by his first wife. The wife vas as mutinous as the husband was resolute, and she de- termined that until she could have her own clothes she would never leave ths house-a vow she kept until her death. Woman appears to be at the root of many eccentric vows, for it was ha- tred of the sex that once impelled a well=knoWn lawyer to swear that he would never speak 10 a woman again as long as he lived Nothing would induce him to see a lady client, and he would never conduct a case i'll which woman appeared $ a witness. He never employed a female servant, and deliberately ''cut" all his lady aequain- tances. The inevitable result was that the men deserted him, his practice dwindled and he died, less than year ago, alone in sQualtd room.-Pitts7 burg Dispatch.
