TONS OF HONEY.
Where the Wild Bees Abound in Val
 verde County, Texas.

| w hCLG tHc Wilu bStS ApOuIlti III v dl- verde County, Texas.
 There Is enough honey in the brakes of Devils river to make any man rich who wiH get 1t to market. There are tons of it; In clefts in the rocks in hollow trees, in caves and In the famous Devils
 Punch Bowl" which is great sink in the Devil Valley and out of which bees swarm always in clouds so thick that at
 a distance of two or three miles it has
 the appearance of a great signal smoke. The hills and valley land along the riv-
 CT are covered for q great part of the year with all endless variety of flowers, and in the winter season, which is nev- er cold enough to freeze the bees, there is an abundance of decaying fruit--cac-
 tus apples and berries of many kinds so that they never have to stop working on account of lack of material or bad weather; and thus go on piling up their wealth throughout the whole year
 The business of gathering this honey, while fairly profitable, is not followed to any great extent, for the reason that there is little in the work of the honey hunter which is anything like sport and everything connected with 1t is full of ptivation and danger. The country is so rough that it is impossible to get anywhere near the honey caves unless che goes on foot, packing his camp equipage on his back or on a burro; wa ter is not over-plentiful and much of that to be found is unfit for use and besides all this the actual getting of the honey is no easy task. Sometimes the caves are in such inaccessible places that the hunter has to let himself down the face of cliff for two or three hun died feet and hang there at the end of his rope while the bees sting him half to death while he digs out few pounds ct honey; or, again, he may find a cave easy to rob only to find that he must carry the spoil several miles on his ibae k before he can get it to a place where he can load it upon his burros.

Several thousand acres in southern F'lorida will be devoted this year to the raising of espnosa, otherwise and familiarly known there as the Fliroda coffee-weed. It gets it's name from it's seed growing in pods, and somewhat resembling the coffee-bean To what use it is put the Florida growers pro- fess not to know. It is sufficient for them that it has market. Like the .sunflower seed, so largely raised in western Iowa, 1t is probably used as an adulterant. The plant is a native of Mexico, and it's seeds have been import sed into the United States in large quan- titles for number of years large firms in the West and North buying heavily. So large was the demand that attempts were made to grow the plant in the United States Experiments with it in Arkansas and Texas failed, but satis- factory results were obtained in Flori- da last year, and rapid growth of the industry there is predicted

COTTON LIrTTIfRs.

New York April 23.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co., say: From Liverpool our private adj
vices report a very quiet market, with the
English spinners keeping very quiet haV-
ing a reserve supply compared with the
visible supply. Our market opened lower
with continued outside selling and rallied
on European buying of the new crop
based on the heavy rainfall in the Miss
issippi valley. A slow reaction followed
the trading, being limited in volume as
the trade reports are not thought to be
indicative of a revival of speculation. The
local trade are disposed to await further
developments before entering into fresh
engagements.
New York, April 23.-Murphy & Co,
say: Cotton in Liverpool declined lie on
spots sales 5000 futures opened about
S-64 lower on the near months and 1-6i
lower on the late months, and closed
about the same. Our market opened two
to three points lower on the old crop
months and about two points higher On
the new crop months. At the opening
there was considerable buying for local ac-
count and prices advanced some five
points, but the buying for the local ac-
count proved to be scalping orders and
then sold them out at The advance and
prices declined to about the opening
figures. Receipts are light, particularly
so at the interior towns. The weather re
ports from the South are still bullish, but
as they are not accompanied by buying
orders they do pot have any effect upon

factors believe the receipts are apt to
fall off at an early day in consequence
of the heavy floods which have done much
damage in many sections of the naval

worse, however, others think the damage
will be intinitessimal so far as a shrink

that little was doing in the New York

COTTON Futures.

New York. April 23.-The cotton mar
Bet was disturbed to-day by conflicting
advices as to crop conditions in general
and particularly as to the situation in the
flooded territories. The weakness of the
stock market was another element lead
Ing to speculative hesitation. Our market
started steady, with prices points lower

traders had the market to themselves Re-
ports Of further heavy rains in the flood

unsatisfactory average Of crop accounts

that there was some pretty brisk buy

to be confirmation Of reports OF damage

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York April 23.-Saturday's break
in prices of stocks brought large selling
orders into the market and they were in
evidence all through the list at the open
ing But there were also buying orders on
very large scale to take the offered
stock Part Of these were evidently placed
In the market by friends of different
stocks for the purpose of supporting
them.
The expectation was quite general that
the market would open with something
like a crash in values but as is not I'M
tation defeated itself and there
were onoughh buyers waiting
to take advantage Of the crash to
steady the market almost Immediately.
Professional Wall street perceived the abb
sence of pressure Of long stocks In the
steel industrials with a cynical lack Of
surprise. Evidently the opportunity had
been seized TO dispose Of long stock at the
high level Of prices and the shorts were
the most eager operators in the market
IN endeavors to cover. This pretty clearly
indicated a pause in the most aggressive
tactics of the bear campaign. A collater-
al object of that campaign is generally
believed to be to take on various stocks
at the lower level of prices. The liqulda-
ton continued heavy during the first
hour, and q second drive was made by
the bears at the end OF that time. But
the steady absorption OF offerings begot a
very cautious mood among the profess
SIGNALS and a decidedly quieter tone en-
sued in the market.
