to show a distinct improvement accord
ing to mail and Geographic advices and
there is no improvement in trade condi-
tons. The market declined slowly until
the publication of the summary of the
government weekly report showing less
improvement than anticipated, brought a
rally. The detailed report by states shows
an improvement in all sections except the
Carolinas. where rain is reported as need

Ellwanger was sitting on The window
sill stercay counting some pennies which
he he'd in his hand. His parents said af-
terward he had asked for two more pen
MES because he had just thirteen and
wanted enough to get glass of soda wa

Harlem Bridge and back. He lost his bal

COTTON FUTURES
Market Closes Firm With Prices : a
IL Points Higher.

New York, July 24-It was mostly a
day of professional trading at the cot
ton exchange until well into the after
noon. Neither side had the backing Of
the speculative public nor did either the
bull or bear faction show the least dis
position TO take the initiative in a fresh
NOV ment. The influences at work around
the opening were of a bearish character
and depressed prices somewhat. But as
the cary afternoon government crop sum
mary for the year was decidedly less ia
voi able than looked for, the decline was
superseded by a sharp rally. Scalpers
from start to finish were the chief part es
disturbed by the conf citing influences and
made nervous changes from one side to
the o her. The market started steady in
tone with prices down to points under

Unfavorable cables from both depart
ments of the English market and optmis-
tic rews from priva sources regarding
the crop were the incentives which
prompted unloading during the forenoon.
However bear speculation on the decline

HAD FIST FIGHT WITH GRANT
and-Tumble Contest in 1860 with
the Future General.

From the New York Sun.
/ Marshfeld Wis, July 2O-Probably the
! only man who ever had rough-and- tum-
I bic fight with L. s. Grant is an old resi-
dent of Wood county Don Rain, far
mer living in the town of Rudolph. Forty
years ago a controversy arose between
the two men, which by mutual consent
was settled on the banks of the Missis-
sippi near Gaena, Ill. In the summer of
1860 Dan Rain, guiding his raft of lum-
Der into the mouth of the Fever river.
leading to Galena, encountered Grant in
a fiat boat. The channel being a mar
row one a dispute arose. After exchanging
epithets it was decided to have it out on
the bank, whittier they repaired. accom-
panied by several men 10 see the sport
and make certain of fair play.
Rain was taller and weighed less than
his stocky antagonist He was descended
from hardy Irish stock, in his thirtleth
year, and a clever man in a wrestling
match. Selecting a level green spot the
men opened the battle. At one stage It
looked as If Rain would be pounded into
insensibility. and then Grant would be
forced underneath TO receive his share of
punishment. For an hour the contes,
ragged fast and furious until both men
were forced to desist from sheer exhaus-
ton. They shook hands over the result
and were good friends from that time
forward.
To-day Rain is three score and ten
years of age. possessed of all his faculties
and going about his farm duties with
the suppeness of a man one-half his
years. He is fond of story telling and OF
his long liss there is none he takes more
pleasure in relating than his fight with
the great American general, L. S. Grant.
