Tombstone Did Double Duty.

q used to say I'd haunt anybody who called me 'relict' in case I be- came a widow" said the girl who has just come back from the South, to writer in a Washington newspaper, but now have seen something which makes 'relict' sweet to my ears, though it was not of widow it was written. I'd rather live relict twenty years than escape that title by lying beneath such tombstone as saw down South in Savannah, think it was It was a tall, white marble slab, and on it was chiseled:
 Sacred to the memory of Jane Jackson'-I don't quote the real names, you nderstand-'beloved wife of John Smith, and Louisa Jones, his second wife, beloved also
 'If Jane and Louisa don't haunt that man for his stinginess, it's because they can't; that's all"

partly on account of the scarcity of labor. but more owing to the desire to diversity crops, with leaning to'plant more corn.
 We believe the great possibilities from every point of view favor the long side, and would advise purchases on every break of the old as well as the newcrop position; in the meantime the market may have sharp advance as hardly season passes by without the crop scares are factor to some extent and this year will pro cbably prove no exception to the rule.

Lee & Cos. Cotton Letter to cothran &

 New York. April 13.-The persistency with which the old crop months-May and July have been lowering around the 8 cent level for the past two weeks and the quick recovery from each break is con sidered by many suficient evidence that values have at last gotten down to a basis which fully offsets the bearish features that brought about the decline and that the future course of the market will be governed to considerable extent by the usual factors which predominate after this season of the year. viz, news pertain ing to the next crop prospects.
 The season is several weeks later than usual, which in itself might be construed as guide. but with favorable weather from this on the delay could easily be overcome. Light rains have fallen in Texas the last few days, but much more is needed to give the crop favorable start. ..li
 A short time ago record breaking acreage was predicted but this Is not SO generally indicated now. partly on ac- count of the severe decline in the price of cotton during the past six months;

COTTON FUTURES WORKING UPWARD Nervous Covering and Scarcity
 of Offers CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY Chief Causes of Worry in Bear Circles Was the Fear of Summer Month
 Squeeze, Particularly
 In July.

3 New York, April 13-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices unchanged to ? points higher and then worked slow ly upward until May reached s.oS and July 7,96 on nervous covering and scarcity of offers. The news in hand contained nothing to alarm shorts or to stimulate bull aggression. Liverpool closed as about expected. Receipts at the ports were more than double those of year ago, the clearance of a steamer from Brunswick swelling the otal to fully 17,OOO bales. During the first hour the market showed a firm undertone on fitful de- mand from the bear side and was subject all the session to spasmodic variations. The chief cause of worry in bear circles was the fear a summer month squeeze, more particularly July. in which the short account was believed to be extensive July was peculiarly sensitive to buying orders all the forenoon. The pit traders were the only active operators during the short session.
 The market closed quiet and steady, 2 to q points higher.
