The Brazilian minister to the United
States has been endeavoring to encour-
age the importation into this country
of Yerba mate or Paraguay tea, to take
the place to some extent of Chinese
tea. Yerba Mate Is a stimulant used
generally, throughout South American
countries. Most Americans who visit
Southern countries become fond of the
drink, though 1t seems doubtful IL it
will ever take the place Of tea in this
country. Our consul-general at Rio

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 5.-The cotton market
was again in a whirl of excitement to-
day. Whether it was because the Eng
lish market was sensationally higher cat
one time the Liverpool advance was 51s
and points or whether it was on more
local conditions, the most experienced
traders were at a loss to decide. Both
influences were actively working In max
ing the opening of the market excited at
an advance of 11G1s points. This i'm
provement was followed by a further rise
of one to 26 points. great business
was transacted, especially during the
early hours of the session. The pendula-
tons in prices were frequent and violent.
Within thirty minutes after the strike of
the opening gong the market had ad-
vanced 25qSO points on the more active
positions, reacted 15GD1S points and recov-
cred 5QS points, after which it was any
body's market with views mixed and the
local traders disposed to sell on what they
considered the merits of the situation,
but afraid to do so on account of the
public bull fever.
The failure of the Liverpool market to
hold all of the early advance created
selling movement here later in the ses-
sion in connection with estimates of 49,
900 bales coming into sight this week,
against l4liO6 last week, 232 last year

the local traders for a large March
movement of cotton. There was much In
the way of predicted manipulation to
make the market nervous, while there
was any quantity of bear material in the
way of fertilizer stories calculated to
confirm late predictions of enormous
acreage and superior cultivation.
The market at the close was offlciaiiy
called steady, with prices 1 point lower to
20 points higher.
The near positions finally showed a net
| advance of 1920 points; the Later
months were anywhere from I point low

ALL even though there is a disposition
among farmers TO plant heavily The larg-
est fertilizer concern in the South is said
to be $4,000 tons behind la its supply, and
it is assumed smaller plants are also be-
hind in their supplies. This shortage has
carried the price very high, and notwith-

to SELL with the hope of supplying their

Taking In the NeGrOes-Price of Cot
ton at Americus.
Americas. Ca, March 5.-The alleged
agent OF a Kansas City grocery house is
doing a land office business among the
country negroes here by taking orders
among them for groceries and delivering
the original packages here at about first
cost. Nearly thousand negroes met the
agent" at the Central Railroad depot
here yesterday and received little pack
ages of tea, coffee, etc, and if their
statements are true they paid pretty stiff
prices in thus having their orders filed.
The agent received several hundred dol
lars from the sale of the contents of q
single barrel He evades local license I'M
der the protection of the interstate com
merce law. 1t is a brand new scheme in
this part of the country and a gold mine
for the manipulation. The negroes are very
reticent, and will talk little about the
agent, their purchases or prices paid.
Rev. T. c. Upper, d. D., the newly
called rector of Calvary Episcopal Church
here, entered upon his pastoral duties
yesterday, preaching to a large congre-
cation.
Cotton is selling right along in the
Americas market at "a cents, though the
supply is very limited. A warehouse firm
owns about 500 bales, which is held for
higher prices, and aside from this but lit
tie remains here, probably 100 or 200 bales.
But the farmers are preparing to plant
heavily, and enormous quantities of
guano will be used a large and early crop
will be ready in September.
Congressman +. b. Lewis will shortly
have another rural mail delivery in oper-
alton in his district running out from
Americas. The one recently established
in Pulaski county proves highly salts

ious for one as well. Formal application
will be filed through Postmaster Smith as
soon as the number of signatures neces-
sary to the petition can be secured.

COTTON.

The cotton market remained unsettled
and unchanged to-day. Sales were light,
and there were few evidences of business
in any quarter Liverpool was up the
advance al one time being 81 and 7 points.
New York also had an exciting day of it,
values vaulting about in all directions, and
the total transa ctions in futures for the
day being 100000 bales. At the closing
the market was officially called steady,
with prices one point lower to 20 points
higher. The local receipts were about A.
600 bales in round numbers. There is
decidedly bullish sentiment locally, and
until more bearish material comes to
light. the belief in 10-cent cotton will be
strong
The following were the official spot quo
