NEW YORK. May 22.-There was little on the way of news when the cotton market opened today.

Selling on a liberal scale set in towards the noon hour. causing quite slump Liverpool closed at fair ad- vance. but the fact that she will remain closed tomorrow and Saturday had bad effect the fear being that local speculation would thereby be ourtailed.

WALL STREET REVIEW STOCK MARKET WAS rRREG-
 ULAR THROUGHOUT. The Tendency of the Speculation Was Confused and Mixed-Coal
 Miners Strike Beginning to Be Felt.

NEW YORK. May 22-Today's stock market was extremely irregular throughout and closed with that tendency rather accentuated. The same stocks changed their course in some cases and the prevailing tendency of speculation was hard to distinguish and was. in fact. much confused and mixei. The anxiety the coal etrike was rather deeper on account of implied threats of the engineers. firemen and pump runners in the anthracite mines to come out would bring the struggle to acute stage. as the safety of the mines is dependent upon this work being done. Some of the steel stocks were heavy in tone as result of the effect ef the coal strike. which is beginning to be Felt in that industry. This did not prevent Q jump of 10 points in Lackawanna and a late spurt tn Delaware and Hudson. The culmlna- tion of the recent extended rise in Canadian Pacific and its sharp reaction naturally had some sympathetic influence upon the rest of the market There was no news to account for the setback, any more than there has been to account for the rise and the movement seemed to be due purely to speculative profit taking. The late break in the stock to below t33 helped to unsettle the close. break of points in Ann Arbor preferred was prob. of that property. The United States Rubber stocks suffered from the poor financial show Paul offered strong leadership for the grain carriers. but it was not followed with avidity and Union Pacific was rather psrsis,enti, vance of 2S. The news from tho crop region was considered encouraging. Another center of strength was Amalgamated Copper. The gains in the American Smelling stocks and in National Lead were allied to this all being the outgrowth of the advancing tendency of raw copper The meeting of support of silver is benefit to smelting stocks. The specula- tive interest in small railroads keeps alive and was fostered today by the rumors of the acquisition of the Columbus. Shawnee and Rocking in the interest of the Wabash, author, itativeiy denied. and new combination oi Hartman railroads. including a number of smaller properties. for which official sane tion could be obtained. The money market ccn- tinued quite easy with call loans ruling at 4 per cent. or lower and with the sterling ex- change market showing no disposition to ad- vance again. The Bank of France statement shows no change in the plethoric condition of capital at that great money center. which is now the most Important source of supply both for London and New York. New York ex- change at Chicago showed a further reaction today and the movement of currency from that point to New York is believed to be about ended. The market closed active and extremely irregular.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES COMMISSION HOUSES TAKE = PROFITS ON ADVANCE.
Fine Crop Reports and Absence of Buying Orders Weakened Prices g Losses of 6 to Is Points on

NEW, YORK. May 22-The cotton market and for time displayed strength on active demand from shorts and moderate buying. The commission house contingent, however. took advantage of this further improvement tn prices to secure profits on cotton. which had been carried through the previous bulge and subsequent break. fearing to risk possible ad- ditional advances later. The receipts were again very light, the cables reflected nrIn situation abroad and spot demand was fairly active in the South. On the other hand weather and crop reports were almost perfect while absence of speculation and three-dav adjournment in Liverpool naturally. checked active support by professional bulls Later tn the moriing the first hour advance vas wiped out and a slight net loss recorded.

HERMAN RESCUEs THE PRINCESS
Bp TuaIt DcDougaIl

King and Queen, as well as the court attend nts,
whenever the name of the Princess Pamela was
mentioned. Herman soon asked one of the grand
dukes who had been assigned to wait upon HIM
few questions, and learned that the Princess was
young girl whose great beauty had been forever
marred by witch from the land of 0piedildoc, who
had caused the skin upon her beautiful face and
body to become like that of an alligator, so that
she could not appear in public but spent all of her
time weeping in a in the top of tall alabas-
terandgold tower at the farther end of the palace
Cant that be cured9" asked Herman.
"1S6ger, unless it can be done by magic, and many
years ago one of our kings killed off every wizard
and magician in the land, so we have none. There
is, however, a story told by the old women that
away up on the top of yonder mountains, which are
utterly inaccessible. there is perpetuay poisoning
a flower in the snow, that if it could be procured
would change the horrid skin on the Princess into
the feirest and whitest in all the world"

derful ride, for the flea hoped along the shore in
tremendous leaps, so that they were soon fifty
miles from home. An ordinary flea, which is some
what more than sixteenth and less than an eighth
of en- inch long, can hop perhaps fifteen inches or
more, SO you win perceive that if common flea
can leap 125 times his own length, Skip, Who was
ten feet long, could hop about quarter Of a mile
as easily as you can hop one foot. At pinch he
could leap half-nile, and when he grew larger
during the next week he increased his jump to full
mile He could Jump go rapidly that, large as he
was you could scarcely see him BE was just a
long dark streak in the air. He made twelve
jumps to the minute, so that his full speed was e
aetly 720 miles per hour, and he could get to San
francisco, for instance in about half day. Every
forming Herman would have some lunch packed up
and he would mount Skip and then they would visit
different places
One day it would be the Yosemite Valley, the
Yellowstone Canon, Niagara Falls, Mexico, Alaska,
Labrador, Brazil Patagonia some other country
that could be reached by land journey, and when
all of these had been inspected again and again,
they went to Asia, by way of Boring Strait, and
saw China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Siberia, Russia
and then all of Europe. Wherever they went the

great sums to see him, SO that Herman made lots
of money everywhere he went All the crowned
heads of Europe and Asia came to see him, and
pronounced him the greatest thing they had ever
seen, which, indeed, he really was. Then they went
to Africa. fo- Herman wanted to hunt elephants
and lions, and here they discovered new and un-
known land, the Kingdom of Pompano where all
of the houses were palaces Of gold and silver, every
tree fruit tree, and flowers of marvellous beauty
and rarest perfume covered every inch of ground
that was not devoted to grain. The cattle, the
horses, pigs, dogs, Birds all were most marvelousy
beautiful and the inhabitants were all handsome
and stately. There was not cripple nor an ugly
countenance in all Pompano from border to border
When Skip landed and stopped before an imposing
palace that CLEANED and glittered in the hot sun
shine like an immense piece of jewelry, Herman
gasped with wonder for never in all their travels
had they anything so imposing or so beautiful
Instantly many richly dressed people ran out of
the great arehed doorway and gathered around the
giant flea, with many expressions of establishment,
and in a few minutes the King of Pompano, for
this happened to be the royal palace, came hurry
ing out, forgetting all his dignity, to see the won
der.

Guarded BY Dragon Eagles

"Hum," said Herman; 'T'l try to get up there
and gather few of those blossoms.

II have been all over this world" said Herman,
"and I've heard all sorts of tales, but I've never
seen any of these fre-breathing creatures yet.
They're always somewhere else Now, III see if this
time they are not, after all, a myth and fairy
tale"
"You would soon find them if you could get up
there" said the Grand Duke Percy.
perhaps. l expect, however, hat it's just like
fishing. You always find that you should have got
there yesterday, when they were biting like every
thing"
He hurried around looking for Skip, and found
him lying in a shady place. telling the palace dogs
about feas, for they have none in that happy land
Of Pompano, and he mounted him hastily.
Shop as quick as you can to the top of the snow
covered mountains yonder," said Herman, and
away Skip darted like lightning fash.
In a minute they among the eternal SHOWS
of the highest peaks of the Tambourino Mountains
and seeking everywhere for anything resembling
flowers. They were chilled to the bone and ready TO
give up the search, when Herman suddenly spied
whole acres of palid, waxy blossoms covering the
snow. He could see no fiery eagles anywhere, and
surely the pallid blossoms needed no such guar
dams, for the bitter cold in these inaccessible
heights was defense enough. He gathered an i'm
mense quantity of the snow lowers and heaped
them upon the seat on Skip's broad back, and then
they gladly left those awful, SILENT frozen wastes
Arriving at the palace, he went to the King and
told him what he had done and asked to see the
Princess.
"That is impossible, for she viii not permit it."
replied King Multipex with a frown. mo one sees
her except her own attendants"
"Will you ask her to allow me to have few
minutes conversation with her." asked Herman
persisting, for he saw that the King really was
anxious TO try the experiment
Il viii ask her, of course" said King Multiplex:
"but don't be disappointed if she refuses"
So the request conveyed to the Princess
Pamela and she was thrown into a state of great
excitement thereby, for she had seen Herman sew
eral times from her tower window and had fallen
deeply IN love with him, for he was handsomer
than even the handsomest IN Pompano. She was
alarmed at the thought of his disgust when she al
lowed him to behold her disfgured face, bat finally
she let her desire TO meet him conquer all other
feelings, and he was admitted bearing g1eat bou-
quet of the pale but sweet snow flowers. The face
of the Princess was hidden by thick veil of gold,
but after he had spoken few words he requested

He Had Come From America

"Where do you come from!" he cried, as Her
man stepped down the ladder from Skip's back that
reached to the second story of the palace. Herman
told him that he came from America, and then the
King asked him to enter the palace, where he saw
more riches than his eyes had ever beheld before
Here he related to the King the incidents of his
travels and the King was filed with wonder for he
had never heard of any Of these countries He knew
only Of a couple Of large neighboring kingdoms all
Of which were surrounded by immense and impassa-
bic deserts and swamps, and they supposed the
whole world to be like the surrounding wastes
When he heard about far-away kings and republics
he wanted TO get on Skip's back at once and visit
them but his Queen and his Minister'S who sat
around listening, would not allow this at all so he
asked Herman to remain with him for some weeks
and teach him all that could be learned about these
strange countries. Herman very glad to rest
for awhile in such lovely land, where the people
seemed to be continually smiling and happy and he
readily agreed to instruct the King in these mat
tiers.
He had not been in the palace two days, how
ever before he observed that there some secret
sorrow there which revealed in the looks of the
