New York, March 2O.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline OF 104 points,
cables being disappointing and the gen.
eral influence much the same as they
were yesterday when they were generally
adverse. About the only support the mar
ket had was derived from covering by
conservative shorts, but as a class the
local traders were more inclined to sell

indications of continued heavy port and

Small shipments of the new naval stores
crop have been received during the past
few days by factors. Ordinarily the
movement of new stuff does not begin
until about the opening of the new season
on April l, but from the present begin
ming the indications are that by that
time stuff will be rolling in freely.
The prevalence of lower prices during
the season about to close as compared
with last season gave rise to a general
movement on the part of the trade to use
every possible influence to bring about
reduction in next years output. Turpen-
tine is now around 34c, whereas last year
the price was above so. The effects of
over-production impaired heaviness to the
market, and largely explains the lower
prices. With the output more in accord
with the worlds requirements the trade
realizes that the prospect is infinitely bet
ter for higher prices. 1t is conservative
ly estimated that the result of the eff
forts in this direction will be reduction
of from 80 to 40 per cent. in next seasons
output as compared with what the pres
ent seasons will be.
No sales of turpentine futures for May
August delivery have yet been made, and
it seems certain that all next seasons
trading will be in the open market The

New York, March 20.-Liverpool is the
weak sister showing no rallying powers
whatever to the surprise of our local
trade, which felt that if the decline was
to be checked it would start there where
the short crop views have led to a large
speculation for an advance. Here each
point decline continues 10 be fought pre-
venting the formation of a short interest
which might be forced to cover from time
to time. 1t is the movement of the crop
which is forcing the market down on this
side and until that ceases or trade i'm
proves investment buying will be upon
small scale. What else can be expected
when the receipts must each day increase
the opinion that Mr.. Neills' crop estimate
is radically wrong.

The demand was light, the same hesita-

A Book Hunters Worry.

The worry of finding that book is incomplete is often to be expected. Often most respectable looking books have page missing somewhere. One cannot trust even a folio that has been connected with religious houses all it's life. It may be invincibly bound in the strongest calf; it may have passed all its quiet, unread days behind glass and be as clean as on the day on which it was issued, and yet page 341 may have vanished.
 We once knew a man who had firm belief in the devil and for this reason: He said that he could hardly count the imperfect books by which he had been misled in his time, and in nearly every case these books had highly respect able past. They had grown mellow in monasteries or had been carefully tend ed in great libraries, where they were never touched except to be dusted. It seemed morally impossible that harm could have come to these books, and yet each one had page missing some where. Therefore he was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the devil was ill 1t. He supposed that when ine devil was in need of more quotations he abstracted page from some little read book, choosing it both in order that he might obtain a reputation for wisdom and also that he might not be found out.
 We do not uphold this theory, but we do recommend the book hunter, so far as possible, to cOllate every book of any importance which he may con- template buying.-Macmillan Maga- zine

Doubled the Fee.

A clergyman who used to be pastor of church in Kansas City says that on one occasion he had rather an anus ing experience in marrying young couple in that city.
 "The gentleman" said the clergy man, was handsome, noble looking young man and the bride to be more than usually beautiful. 1t was plain to be seen that the prospective groom thought he had secured the one prize in all the matrimonial market and was correspondingly elated.
 "Just before the ceremony the gen. tleman handed me the marriage license to see that it was all right. Inside the license there was crisp $5 note, plac- ed there as the fee. The couple stood up before the few witnesses in the par Tor, the ceremony was gone through with, and they were pronounced hus- band and wife. The first thing the new husband did was to draw his wife to him and imprint a fond kiss on her sweet lips. It seemed to thrill him with unexpected joy, for, immediately turning to me, he said, 'Parson, I'll be switched if paid you enough for this job,' and. pulling from his pocket an other $5 note. he thrust it into my hands.

Why A1bino. Do Not See We'll.

According to Dr. A. D. Williams, the white, faxen hair of albinos shows that there is deficiency of coloring materials in their bodies. Further proof of this fact is found in the ab- sence of the necessary amount of pig ment in their eyes. Such persons have pink eyes because there is not pig ment enough in the iris and upon it's posterior surface to prevent the red re- dex of the fundus from shining through the iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed by strong light because there is not icient coloring to prevent the ingress oi flood of 1t, the bright glare entering not only through the pupil, but through the substance of the iris as well.
 The choroid being likewise deficient in pigment, the excessive amount of light dazzles and greatly confuses the vision Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments in the choroid prevents the light after 1t has acted on the retina from being absorbed, that being the main function of the chorOidal pigment Albinism is an unfortunate condition, as there is no way to supply the defi- cient pigment to the iris and choroid.
