The Post IS In receipt Of an excellent ar
ticle Of cheese made from the herd of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college and
prepared in the newly equipped agricul-
tura building. Tho texture is firm and
close and the favor mild. Prof. j. II. Con
nell writes.
This particular cheese was made %
March II and had developed "a per cent
of acid at the time the milk WAS set and a
temperature u So degrees. Three and one
half ounces OF rennct were used per 1850
pounds of milk 10 cause curdling. which re-
suit was secured IN twenty-five minutes
from the time the reunet was edded. The
milk was then warmed MP 20 rs degrees and
Kept at this point for thirty-hyc Minutes
when the whey was separated from the
eurd. Il was salted az tho rate Of one and

The condition Of the cotton market today
,resents some anomalies that have not many
times occurred in the memory of the cid
est cotton operators of the country, Spot
cotton today Is quoted OF 0lAc in Houston
and Galveston. II is considered In rsund
numbers TO cost lc per pound to ship the
cotton from these points to New York At
the lnttor market the official quotations
stand Mt 8 1i-16c a difference Of only I Ice.
The question which naturally presents fseif
Is. Where is the lc shipping expense alb
sorbcd and who comes In for the osS IT
Is also counted by some as an indilation
Of The fuct that Liverpool is coming Airrct
to Texas scaports for her cotton aud the
slight variance in the cost of frcghtage
from New York compared to that between
Southern seaports and the big English mar
ket is rapidly removing the difference in
the value OF cotton at New York compared
10 that in Texas.
In the future markets yesterdy July at
New Orleans was quoted at ae time at
o ~ with New York at the sdne time at
.. 80. a difference of 80 points, The usual
parity" between the two mrkets t. %
points In other words, that option today
Is relatively 10 points higherln New Or
leans than New York. The situation in
this respect has existed for fveral weeks
but has recently become NOR pronounced.
1t simply reflects the real influences OF
the market in a clearer High. Where the
story of exhaustion is wd known and |
where buyers are energetic;ly engaged in |
turning every bale from gln.o spindle Il is |
not surprising that bulishHss should find |
It's most ardent advocates. The condition |
has prevailed to the extent hat all present |
crop options at New 0rcap now command |
a premium over the big echange by the
Hudson.

The Maybrick Case.

London, Nov I5-In view of the
revival of interest in America in the
Maybrick case and the fact that de-
putation of women is shortly to come
from the United States to plead for
mercy for the famous prisoner, a state
ment made by one in close touch with
the office of the Home Secretary is of
particular interest. About a year ago
it was rumored that Mrs. Maybrick
would be included among those receiv-
ing clemency from the king at the
time of the latter's coronation The
coronation passed. however, without
any new Developments in the case.
No such proclamation of pardon was
forthcoming and hope was quite abau-
doned by those who had been anxious
ly expecting that his majesty would
extend royal clemency to considers-
BILE number of prisoners and restore
them to freedom and civil life.
The announcement just made that
in India. in connection with the ap.
preaching coronation ceremonies at
the great Dubar, the viceroy would
release large number of prisoners
has re-awakened public expectation
here that the king will be graciously
pleased to extend his consideration
in similar manner. 1t is learned
from the person already referred to
that such an act of clemency is in con
temptation, but il carried out it will
extend only to minor offenders. So
far as can be learned the prospects of
Mrs. Maybrick being released are no
brighter now than they have been at
any other time during the amny years
of her imprisonment.
