COTTON.

New York, March 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices unchanged
to points lower and for a brief time
showed rather heavy undertone through
realizing by tired longs and urgent bear
pressure. The latter contingent were con-
fdent that receipts would over reach
early estimates and that the English mar
ket would be seriously affected by the
talk OF curtailment in production in
Lancashire. But before the end of the
first hour there was a decided improve
ment III the class of buying while offer
ingS were seen to have been greatly re-
duced. Early cables were quite as ex-s
pected while at the close Liverpool was
significantly steady Bullish reports came
through from the South concerning the
spot situation, and rumor had it that a
we'll known New Orleans Statistician in
tended to reduce his crop estimates to
barely IL 100000 bales while at the same
time estimating the American consump-
ton at 4,160,000 bales, the latter being an
increase of some 100000 bales over last
year. Then came small estimates for to-
morrow'S receipts, a pronounced advance
liz the New Orleans market and substan-
tial bull support from Wall Street. Shorts
were unable to withstand this combined
strength and FASTENED to seek cover. Port
receipts of only 10000 bales as compared
with exports for the day of 81, 900 bales
helped to stimulate buying for both ac-
counts in the afternoon. During the last
hour the bear element vigorously bid for
the May and July options and at the close
the market ruled firm with prices net five
to IL points higher. Total sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.

The Hospital Supper.

The supper given in aid of the Burling-
ton County Hospital, last week, was de-
cided success The original intention was
to hold it on Thursday and Friday even
ings only, but the storm of the latter
evening made it bad for many and it was
determined to hold it again on Saturday
evening. This was not much better than
the other, but there was good number of
people out and the eatables rapidly dis
appeared Each of the churches of the
town had a table and there was good
natured rivalry to secure the most custom.
The Temple had been decorated by ]. Sex
ton Folwell in pink and green with natural
wood trimmings.
| Mrs. J. Howard Shinn was the moving
spirit in this matter, and there is little
story connected with the entire affair
When it was said the hospital was about
to close on account of lack of funds, the
mother of Mrs. Shinn became very much
interested and urged her friends to aid il
preventing such an end. Later the moth
er was stricken with what proved to b.
her last illness The hospital seemed t.
be on her mind great deal of the tint
and one day she called Mrs. Shinn and re
quested the latter to use her efforts, SOM
day, to giving a supper for the institution
Mrs. Shinn promised and the result wa
the supper of last week
The net profits will exceed 800. This
considering everything, is great success
4 A large quantity of provisions were pre-
missed, but the blizzard came and it wa
impossible for the farmers to get il
Then came the two stormy evenings, ye

Letter from Porto Rico.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb 9. 1902.
The carnival festivities are now in full
blast. They commenced last Sunday al
10 A. NJ, by what is called the confetti
battle Confetti is made of thin paper OF
various colors and cut into small round
pieces which they throw at one another
Serpentina is made of paper about 4 of an
inch wide of different colors and is wound
like piece of tape. 1t is thrown at and
around people, across the street from bal
cony to balcony. Nearly every thing that
moves has some of it hanging to it. They
also throw flour at each other and some
times squirt water on it.
Sunday afternoon there was masquer
ade procession, which however did not
amount to much. In the evening a dance
was held in the theatre at which blue con-
fetti was used. On Tuesday evening we
attended the full dress ball at the theatre
at which white confetti was used There
was large crowd there and we as well as
the rest were deluged with the confetti
and serpentina.
The children's fancy dress ball was held
Yesterday afternoon. Tonight there is to
be a masquerade ball at the theatre, where
red confetti will be used. tomorrow there
will be a great confetti battle at the
Olimpo hotel and a masquerade ball on
Tuesday night ends the festivities which
take the place of the Mardi Gras al
Havana and New Orleans
Then comes Lent and fasting from those
ladies they say means candy.

Can This Be True {?

There is some concern because of ru-
NOR that a prominent citizen of Mount
Holly has been compelled to hand over a
sum of money to unknown persons under
threats, the degree of punishment for
failure to comply being unknown. What
little can be learned from the meagre facts
upon which to investigate, gives color to
the mystery. The name of the alleged
victim has thus far been kept secret.
The latter, it is claimed, received letter
in which he was commanded to put GER
tain sum of money in box and to place
the box in hiding at given point on the
outskirts of the town on specified date,
which was done in order to escape the
promised punishment of the bold schem-
ers.
It is said that gentleman connected
with bank at Hopewell has had SINH
lar experience, probably from the same
persons. The story goes that he placed
the box as directed, but did not put any
money in it, and the next day the box was
missing. At any rate it is known that
this same gentleman has written letter
to resident of Mount Holly giving his
experience in the matter He claims to
have evidence upon which it is hoped the
rascals may be apprehended, who are
thought to be engaged in a matchmaking
scheme to extort money.
The authorities are not investigating,
as the matter has not yet been brought tc
their attention.

During the high winds of Tuesday
morning destructive fire was avoided by
Miss Nida Let's seeing in the nick of time

Office building occupied by Thomas Sprag-
ue at Manahawkin. The origin of the fire

tinguished the blaze before much damage
was done.
The house owned and occupied by
Thomas j. Cowperthwaite at Tuckerton,
burned to the ground about 2 o'clock Tues

have started from crack in the chimney,
there being a bend where the chimney
passed from the first to the second story.
1t is said that Mr.. Cowperthwaite noticed
smell of burning wood when he went to
bed; but thought it came from the wood
burning stove About a. M, he was
awakened by the smoke, to find that an
adjoining bed room was already ablaze.
The house was built by Cowperthwaite,
who is wheelwright and carpenter. 1t
was insured for $500.

To Protect Glover.

Yellow trefoil, the bane of many a
farmers otherwise happy life, has got to
stop growing in the soil of New Jersey.
Yellow trefoil is weed, and has ruined
many field of fine clover According to
Assemblyman Charles Wright, of Bur
lington county, New York seed dealers
encourage the growth of the trefoil in this
state by mixing trefoil seed with red
clover seed. The clover seed costs about
So bushel when it is unmixed, and as the
trefoil grows wild and costs only the
trouble of threshing it out of the stalks,
the dealers profits are greater on the mix
ture in proportion to the quantity of ire
foil seed he puts in.
For the mixed seed the price the farmers
pay is the same as though it was all clover
seed, and the seeds look so much alike
that no one but an expert scotsman can
tell the difference, until it has been sown
and begun to grow Then even the cows
know the farmer has been cheated, for
there is about as much nourishment and
enjoyment in eating trefoil as in chewing
shavings, and it isn't anywhere nearly as
palatable So nearly are the seeds alike
that even the seedsmen sometimes make a
mistake, and put some clover in with the
trefoil instead of mixing trefoil with the
clover. Then the profits are larger and
the crops worse.
So general has become this practice OF
the seedsmen that Mr.. Wright wants law
made to stop it, and has introduced bill
in the assembly having that object in view
The bill provides penalty of 800 for the
in mixing his seeds and selling the mix
ture for pure clover seed.
Mr.. Wright was kept busy explaining tc
the urban members the nature of trefoil
and its baleful effects upon the clover
crops. He had to explain at length tc
some of the city fellows that trefoil was
nothing like tinfoil, and that its growth
in clover field was not conducive tc
good farming or to good morals among
the farmers
''The yellow trefoil." explained Mr.
Wright, lis weed with three leaves
something like clover, but with a bunch
of roots that choke everything in its vi
cinity. It bears little yellow flower
which gives it the first part of its common
name In the books On botany it is LISTED
as Stylosanthes procumbens, species O
the hedysaraea, native in West Indies. IT
yellow dimorphic flowers mature and G,
to seed before the clover ripens, and il
that way SOW the seed for an increased
crop the following year.
The Wright bill has the support o
farmers, grangers and agriculturists il
every part of the state, and an energeti,
campaign is to be begun against the un
scruplous seedsmen if the bill becomes
low
