 THE MARKETS.

New Orleans, May 30.-There was very little trading in the market for spot cot ton today Offerings were poor, though somewhat better than during yesterday and particularly desirable lists were hard to find except where held for fairly pro- hibitive prices Buyers were on the lookout for bargains, but they showed no great anxiety to trade. Sales, 150O bales, including 450 to arrive. The cotton exchange committee advanced the quo tations of good middling and middling fair 1-16c. The market for contracts was dull and almost featureless. With New York out of the way owing to observance of decoration day holiday and Liverpool listless and without material change in prices there was little incentive to local operators to spread themselves and the result was @ meagre business. Prices for the day opened at 8 decline of one to two points on the several positions, but the market became steadier in sympathy with Liverpool after the call and ranged up slightly. Later on the market Improved finally closing with a gain of five to six points on the opening figures with June 7.57@7 .59; July 7.55Q7 .56; while the other months were one to three points higher than yesterdays closing prices.

began TO feel little nervous, went into
the house and shut the door.
The bear or whatever it was then went
over to Mr. Alex Chavis' and ran his dog
of. From there it went 70 Mrs Mary
Chavis' and fought her dog, a very large
cur. From the tracks made and other
signs on the ground it is conceded by all
to be a bear.
