COTTON FUTURES.
The Market shows Less Activity Mt
Rise of 1910 Points


New York, July 5.-To-days cotton
market was less active than any of late,
with the trade showing evidences of indie
cison. The influences bearing upon een-
timeut were varied and not easily weigh
ed The first factor to be considered vas
a pronounced advance in the English mar
ket, both spot cotton and future delivery
cotton being affected there by rumors of
continental failures, continued feverish
demand for spot cotton from European
spinners, and apparent effort on the part
Cnf prominent operators TO bull the mar
ket and knowledge that the short interest
was yet a formidable feature. Our mar
ket opened steady with July seventeen
points hiaher and other months seven to
eleven points higher on brisk demand from
foreign representatives and nervous buy
ing for the account OF local shorts. Before
midday both Liverpool and New York
were affected by sensa Jional political news
from China and fine weather map. Sell
ling for long and short accounts here and
abroad carried prices off sharply.
Later in the session prices rallied on
light covering by local parties closing the
market quiet and steady at a net rise of
four to ten points.

A Hive of Bees Left Their Ten-Yenrs
Homo in Senrch of Another.

Home in Search of Another
Athens. Ga, July "a swarm of honey
bees has been taking possession of the
crockery store of ]. H. Higgins & Co,
on Broad street.
The building ia which the store is To-
Gated is very old one. On one side of
the shop there is an unused chimney. and
in this, fer he rast ten years, a hive
of bees has made its home.
Recently, however, the bees have be-
come restless and perhaps a bit crowded.
Boring their way through a hole in the
wall, they forced an entrance in o tie
down stairs Gcpartme Mt of the store, and
for several days past have passed in and
out Of the room in a continuous stream,
singing and buzzing around the heads of
the cur Gus beholders.
But he bees finally became a nuisance.
Mr. Iugsius was forced to stop up the
entrance and the busy little insects will
have 70 continue using the top of the
chimney "a an entrance CT exit.
Years ago Policeman Moon, now de-
ceased, used 10 rob the hive. He would
secure quantities Of pure honey, unhurt.
save for a slight smuttuess gathered by
the bees in their meanderings up and
down the chimney.
