A brewing house in the West has pat
ented a brand-neW deck of playing cords
which does away with kings, queens and
jacks of the old familiar style, employing
in their stead heroes of the army and
navy. Admiral Dewey is the king of
hearts Rear Admiral Sampson is the king
of Spades, Columbia is queen of diamonds
and Miles and Merritt jointly are the jack
of clubs etc Dewey carries an anchor
in each hand Sampson a sword, and Co
lumba a liberty pole and cap. Miles ana
Merritt carry swords. The design is
unique and probably will prove attract

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, April Hubbard Bros. &

continental long interest, who have be-
come uneasy, through the conditions ex-
listing in India and the improving weather
throughout the cotton belt 20 liquidate
caused a very weak market in Liverpool.
This was a surprise as the small response
to the decline abroad by the American
markets on Saturday, led the trade to ex-
pect steadier Liverpool market. With
out support from Liverpool, our market
broke away from the quotations of Satur-
day until a decline of about II points on
the old and u points on the late, were
recorded sharp reaction at the close in
Liverpool, brought a rally here, but the
market needed new factors on the bull
side to prevent a further decline, mproV-
ing weather conditions throughout the
cotton belt, depriVes the market of much
support. The close was steady with the
local trade looking for a reaction from
the weak market i'm Liverpool tomorrow
New York, April 2-Murphy e. Co. say:
Cotton advices from Liverpool to-day

Price, Mccormick & co.'s Letter.

New YORK, April 2-Price. Mccormick
q Co have to-day issued the following
clrcular When the cotton market ad-
vanced 10 $500 for August, some three
weeks ago, We strongly advised our
friends to accept profits on the cotton they
held and have been disposed, as most
OF them know, TO expect a decline This
expectation was based upon our knowl-
edge Of the fact that there was an excep
tionally large speculative long interest in
Liverpool, which did not represent the
purchases of consumers, and the lauida-
ton of which seemed to us inevitable in
view of the mercurial character of the
people who were reputed to head it. This
long interest has now been llquidated the
Liverpool market having been in a con-
dillon of great decentralization to-day.
selling at one time some S-6id below the
prices of Saturday. Our cables advise
that the liquidation has been fairly COM
plete, and when we come again to study
the legitimate facts of the situation
there does not seem 10 us at the moment
any justification for further decline in
cotton.
There is TO real pressure to sell actual
cotton. Any selling pressure comes en-
tirely. when IT does come. from an exag-
gerated long interest. for the LIQUIDATION
of which the shrewd operator must
watch. With this long interest iiquidated
and out of the way, attention IS again
turned 10 the StatlSIcal tdctS OF fhe STU
alton. The visible supply Of cotton, az
made UP by the Financial Chronicle on
Friday last. was 2.9j9. 723 balee. These
figures compare with 1901. 900 in 1897.
when cotton sold at 9hc. with 3439, 900 in
1896, when cotton sold at SIC. and with
1888, 900 in 1890. when cotton sold AT l2Ac:
and when the present visible supply Is
considered in connection with the light
stocks in Liverpool ana the enormously
expanded consumption, It would seem
that cotton was certainly worth present
prices II not more Calculating only
twenty-three weeks from now until the
first Of September and the worlds re-
quirements at 10000 bales weekly, the to-
tai Is $780, 900 bales. Assuming that from
now until the end Of the season we shall
receive OF American cotton l.2O0O00 bales
which Is rather more than most people
expect, the addition 70 the visible supply
will give US only $4,000 bales. as against
prospective requirements Of 4,S300O0 bales
As the worlds visible and invisible sup
ply cannot be reduced possibly below
/ 10000 bales IL would seem that the
price 70 which cotton must go, in order
TO check consumption has not yet been
reached-ad.

Gov. Steunenbera Here.

We forgot last week to chronicle
the arrival in Grangevilie of Gov.
Frank. Steunenberg, who came
overland in q wagon from the
Pierce city country, where he had
been with Major G. A. Williams
and Frank Gilbert, of Moscow, to
look at some placer ground in
which he contt mplates investing.
The visit of the governor was abso-
lutely without political signifi-
canoe, and he only came this way
across the Nee Perez reservation
in order to see for himself the
situation in regard to some of the
state school lands, concerning the
appraised value of which there was
considerable difference of opinion
between the state officials and
parties who contemplate purchas-
ing the same. Gov. Steunenberg

introduced Mr.. Standrod, who
spoke at some length on national
issues. He was followed by p. M.
Bruner who proceed to tell the
people what great things the
Il. o. P. was doing for the coun-
try and succeeded in winning some
applause with his ludicrous COM
PARSONS and funny stories, but on
the whole his speech was more
oratory than logic, and it is doubt
full if any votes were changed one
way or the other. State. issues
were not touched upon.

been known AZ q gold district
scarcely two years; it is an unex-
Iplored district; the rich finds Of
the past year, however, have given
it all the possibilities Of . great
mining camp. Its first stamp
mill is now running on .
ledge Of ore % feet wide With ore
values of t48 average for entire
width. A large number OF CON-
panies are working properties and
making transportation connect
ions.
This promising district has an
area ofabout 5000 square miles,
situated near middle Idaho, aud
its name is taken from q big hold
mountain rising nearly in the
center Of the gold district. Buff
alo Hump is oblong in shape, rises
to an altitude of 1900 feet, and
has circumference at base Of over
200 miles. The rich placer de-
posits found and worked since
the early COS, along the streams
of the Buffalo Hump district have
their source in the quartz leads Of
the higher attitudes. A number
Of rich veins have been discovered
by working back from the placers
to the birthplace Of the streams.
The millions Of wealth taken from
these placers from the COS to the
present indicate the richness of
the mother lodes. From the snow
capped crown Of the great Hump
run innumerable rivulets gradu-
ally growing into formidable
streams as they course down the
mountain slope, and between that
enow crowned cap and tho placer
deposits near it's base are the rich
leads from which all the placer
wealth extracted during the past
was originally washed. The camp
Of Florence. at the base OF the
mountain, has produced over
$40, 900, 600 in gold taken from the
place deposits there.
The early placer miners never
dreamed of the origin Of these
rich placers, and their discovery
dates back only two years. Eight
of these large mother lodes are
now being worked, and arrange
ments made for equipping with
stamp mills, Several well-financed
and conservative companies are
now operating in what Is called
Buffalo Hump camp; other COM
panies are working at various
locations in the district. Thous-
ands Of square miles Of this vast
mineral zone have never been
prospected. and it is along the
rivulets coursing down the slopes
Of Buffalo that the birthplace Of
these rich placers are yet to be
found.-D. G. Doubleday in N. Y.
