Caroinas, the drought having been broken in those sections by copious rains, which were in some places excessive. The condi- tion of the crop was also bettered by fall in temperature of from IA to It de- grees in the South. With good rains in the Southeast the crop conditions are no doubt much improved since this day last week. In Texas people are increasing their es- inmates on the probable out-turn or that great State, the general run of the es- inmates being from three and quarter to four million bales. The statistical position of cotton continues to entrench itself stronger than ever, the loss of visible in American this week being S4,000 vs. 4O,0OO last year and S7000 in 1888, it standing at 621 900 vs 2,O03, 900 last year and 1,470,000 in 1898; cf all kinds the worlds visible tonight is 1112,0O0 vs. 2,662.000 last year and 2,G76,- 900 in 1898. This feature is offset, how ever, to some extent by the prevailing high price compared with twelve months ago by trade conditions and by crop promises. For, notwithstanding what the Bureau has to say on the subject, Texas gives prom ise of crop of something like 3,500,000 bales and if we can get from the older States, say 100000, 1t would give us a supply of Il, 100000 bales compared with @ supply of about Il 200. 900 that the world worked on last year; but trade is not as good as it was last year. and this being a Presidential campaign year, will have an unfavorable effect on all markets until the uncertainties attending same have been set aside
 Conditions in China and in South Africa are also worthy of consideration in this connection.
 August contracts lost 4S points today, but cotton the table is unmoved at 10 , cents for middling. In it's summary of weather and crop conditions the Memphis Trade News reports an improvement in the crop owing to timely rains where wanted . and continued dry weather where desired.
 We close points lower than last night on winter months.

A MORNING PRAYER.

Let me today do something that shall take
little sadness from the worlds vast store,
And may be so favored as to make
OF joys too scanty sum a little more.
Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed
Or thOughtless word, the heart of foe or friend,
Nor would pass, unseeing, worthy need
Or sin by silence where | should defend.
However meager be my worldly wealth,
Let me give something that shall aid my kind,
A word of courage or a thought of health,
Dropped as pass for troubled hearts to find
Let me tonight look back across the span
'Twixt dawn and dark and to my conscience say,
Because of some good act to beast or man.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
1t Was Opened Saturday with Appropriate
Ceremonies. s.s- ...

IL WINS openeu saturday with Appropriate
Ceremonies. ..,-,
Paris, France, April IA. The Par is
Exposition opened OF noon today. The
most favorable weather conditions Ere
vailed, and innumerable brieht-colored
domes and minarets glistened in the
sunshine. I'M
Paris was early astir with people
vending their way toward the Elysee
and in the direction Of the exposition,
10 the hope Of witnessing the Presi-
Dental procession at some part of its
journey. All the public buildings and
mum terless private houses were Deco
rated with trophies of flags, chiefly the
Tri-Color. The neiRhborhood OF the
exposition was especially gay with
bunting, while most Of the payilions
were adorned with noating banners.
Within the exposition grounds, this
morning, all was hustle in supreme
effort to clear away all unsightly
obstacles. The finishing touches were
hastily given the magnificent SALES des
Fetes. 100
The unfinished condition Of the ex-
posi- tion on inauguration day is re-
grettable, and perhaps misleading. It
must be borne In mind that this is
only passing pbRse, and on its COM
pletion, within three weeks or month
from now, the exposition will in
disputably be the most attractive and
magnificent yet seen.
Americans, especially, will be proud
OF their country's display at this
Worlds Fair, for the United States
stands second only to France herself in
the number of exhibitors, which treble
those Of any foreign country. The fol-
lowing is table of exhibitors, which
speaks eloquently of American enter
prise: France, $4,000; United States,
6,564; Belgium. $500; Germany, 1000;
Italy, 1000; Russia, /, 500 Scandinavia,
1,40O; Austria, 1,000;I Great Britain,

Bradstreet's said Saturday - Back ward
spring weather conditions have figured
considerably In distributive trade re-
ports this week, and, in connection with
some weakness In prices of leading
staples, have impaired an appearance
Of irregularity to the general situation.
Another one Of those downward swings
in the prices of agricultural staples is
exhibited this week in slightly lowered
prices for the cereals. partly because of
the bearish position of immediate SUP
plies and partly because of the better
than expected government crop report,
which is taken to indicate possible
winter wheat yield in excess CT all
records. The crnp outlook ms whole
farors the expectation of large yields of
wheat, corn and cotton.
Evidences accumulate that active
missionary work in favor of lower prices
for iron and steel is at last bearing
fruit Pig iron is no lower, and
stocks as a whole are claimed to be no
larger than month ago, but steel prod
uots have weakened noticeably during
the week, billets noting the sharpest
decline, with corresponding DECREASES
in some other products. The other
metals show little change on the week. -
X. g. Dun & Co.. Review says
Failures In the first quarter Of 1900
were 2l.6 per cent greater than last
year, and in March %. 8 per cent greater.
Such increase might seem ominous
without the details which reports by
branches Of business give today. Last
years expansion of s25, 600, 600, 900 In
business, of 1858 per cent, was too rapid
for some. Millions reaped prosperity,
but a few thousand reaped disaster
only. The increase of q sixth in the
average OF commercial liabilities was
quite within the line of safety and to
most brought gains, but few were
caught by the stringency near the end
OF the year, and, according to the
maturing Of their liabilities In differ
emit lines, have been failing since. In
five years of the past six March fail
ures have been above the monthly aver
age In machinery and lumber manufac-
ture and building, and three large fail
ures in machinery, with four in lumber
and building, besides others in con-
Meeting lines, make up great part Of
the increase this year, and suggest that
the building may haye been pushed too
far In 1899. Omitting the twenty three
failures for 100000 or more, the rest
10 March were smaller in amount than
In any previous year, and in average
liabilities Fer failure smaller than in
any one year but one. ="

''The present open.door policy fol-
marriage in America cannot exist much
longer,'' writes Edward Box In the
April Ladies' Home journal. "Th1
question must be met, and it should be
met squaiely. Any discussion of divorce
is untimely; 1t Is futile ut the moment.
1t is graphing with the question al
the wrong end. Whether divorce is
right or wrong; whether there should
be divorce at all, and on what grounds
decree Of divorce should be granted
these are not the pressing questions OF
the hour. The whole matter ofdiyorce
does not begin to stand In such urgent
need of discussion as does the question
Of the laws Of marriage. When we
adjust marriage as we should adjust it,
then We can give our attention Il to
divorce. And then we shall find that
in adjusting the one we shall have
come pretty close to the wisest and best
adjustment Of the other. The practical
solution Of both, in short, lies in the
proper adjustment and rigid enforce-
ment of laws which shall make mar.
riage more difficult Of accomplish
