case the prospector had found a piece of

place where he drove his stake, and ore
was produced together with an assay, to

How to Recover Your Umbrella.

morning by the Daily Chronicle. A man
alighting at the station in shower of
rain ran up to an acquaintance. tapped
him on the shoulder, "as one who should
say: How are you? Lend me bit Of
your brolly." The umbrella carrier, with
detection writ large upon his face, turned
and said without preliminary parlfy, as
he handed the umbrella over: Here 1t is.
/ didn't know it was yours"
There is a tale of preacher who set
himself up in umbrellas by a similar ac-
cident. His own umbrella had been taken
from the porch of the chapel On the next
rainy day he gave ou', after sermon on
honesty. that the person who had taken
away the wrong umbrella should leave II

COTTON.
New York July 12.-Speculation in cot
ton futures today was upon hesitating,
if not an Indifferent scale and was par
ticularly lacking in the element OF out
side interest. The course of the market
was irregular within narrow range OF
variations. The first call developed G
steady feeling with prices unchanged to
four points lower. Immediately after
the call prices eased off, then there was
a rally of three points. The early weak
ness was the result of unsatisfactory
cables and generally unfavorable crop
news. The latter rally was without ex-
PLANTATION so far as news material went
The demand that held the market pretty
steady appeared to come chiefly from
the shorts. The summer positions held
q weak relation to the general list. The
local sentiment, as rule, was inclined
to be bearish on the crop intelligence, but
the strong talk on the part of few lead
ing traders here backed up by the Stats
tical position led to hesitation when 1t
came to taking the short side of the ac-
count. Private cables showed that senti-
ment in Europe was also very much mix
ed with crop news from this side, leading
spinners to procrastinate while the spec
ulative interests were still dominated
more or less by manipulation. The mark
ct here was finally steady, three points
higher to six points lower.
