New York, March 1S.-Liverpool advices
We're very disappointing this morning. An
advance being expected. in view OF re-
covery of our market Saturday, conse-
quently, when cables reported futures 1854
Q5-64d lower. it created stampede among
recent buyers, and led TO considerable
liquidation While there was some cover
ing by shorts, it was not sufficient to
check decline. Prices declined 10Ql5
points under Saturdays close, with re-
covery of only SQ4 points during the clos
ing hours. At the present moment there
appears TO be very little encouragement
for holders, particularly as the movement
continues rather free; demand dull, even
at reduced prices for spots. Estimated
port receipts, 2l,O0O, against 1886 last year
New Orleans expects tomorrow 5000 TO
5000 bales against 1851 last year; Hous-
ton, 1900 to $500 bales, against 1926 last
year

The responses of the cotton futures
market to-day to a lower Liverpool and
tbe liberal offerings of spot cotton
brouahout the South was a decline of 8
f., z points, with the closing steady and
tastureless. Local spots closed dull and
easv at a decline of 1-1Sc on the two
higher grades, and sc on low middhng.
The decline in spots generally ranged
rom 1-16c to &c. The movement continues

NV encouragement as the basis for a re-

commenting on the situation, Charles
me week Chronicle figures), show a to-
tsl of 125,27S bales, compared with liz 432
and $3.50 one and two years ago. Exports
for the week were 1927 bales, compared
with lO3, 707 last week, and 1882 one year
ago. The insight movement for the week
shows a total of 1882 bales, compared
with 16l, s46 and 1873, 1856. The amount
brought into sight to date shows a total
of S.479,6S6 bales. against 1856, 1893 bales one
year ago. The visible supply is still larger
Than a year ago, now 4.0S5, 1854 bales,
against 3,71O, 155 bales. 1t is true this does
not make a bullish showing, but with
smaller receipts from first hands, larger
exports, and a continuation of the i'm
proved demand from foreign spinners, the
visible should soon begin to decrease rap
Idly. though we hardly expect to see the
total reduced to any such small proper
tons, bordering on an acute famine, as
certain statisticianS are predicting.
The season for planting the next crop
is fast approaching, and from our CORE
spondence we can plainly see more inter
est being manifested among the outside
llade in future values, with a desire to
lake hold on first sign of a turn in the
market. The large discount at which the
new crop futures are selling, with a be-
lief among many that the acreage will. not
show much if any increase, and the pur-
chases at this season of the year usually
show handsome profits, makes the buying
of the far off months offer rare opportu-
mites from the standpoint of possibilities,
and we believe advisable. Complaints of
dry weather. said to be delaying planting,
are now being received from Texas, and
more Of such news may be expected from

WATER KEEPS MEN ALIVE.
This Says That Healthy Persons Can
Live for Fifty Days without
other NOurishment.

II is no secret to medical men and
PSYCHOLOGISTS that there is a great
deal of nourishment in water. Even
that which is sterilized contains
enough of solids to keep human be-
ing from death for long time.
During a prolonged fast the loss OF
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as time goes on. Death en-
sues when a certain percentage of the
loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according to the orig
inal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps
two-ffths, a man or woman, of rather
spare build, weighing lab pounds
might, therefore, lose about So pounds
before succumbing Children die after
a fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost quarter
of their weight. Healthy adults, how
ever, have tasted so days when water
has been taken. a German physician
reports the case of woman aged ~
wears who tasted for 43 days, taking
water freely. She lost A pounds out
of 143 pounds and died from eXhauS-
zion

SENTENCED TO BE SPANKED.
New York Magistrate's Queer Meth
cd Of Dealing with n Trouble
some Boy.

On the backyard fence of the home
of the Foote family at $50 Linwood
street, Brooklyn, the other after
noon, says the New York Times
were perched a grinning and ex'
pectant group of urchins. They were
the playmates of 12-year-old "Heney'
Foote, and with chuckles of glee they
were waiting to hear him wall and
howl from within.
"Heney" had been arraigned in the
morning in the Myrtle Avenue police
court. He was charged with commit
ting a slight offense, and Magistrate
Manner was puzzled as to just how
to punish him. Finally the court had
an inspiration.
"Pll sentence you to be soundly
spanked by your mother" decided
the magistrate, looking severely al
the small prisoner. "Will you prom
Ise to carry out this sentence, ma
damp" turning to the lads mother.
Mrs. Foote promised, and led
"Heney," who wore a look OF utter
detection, out of court.
Whether OF not the sentence had
been executed could not be positively
learned. One of the urchins who had
been perched on the back fence OBJ
served, however, with a finger laid
along his nose and a deep wink OF
his left eye, that there had beer
"somethin' doin', all right"
