SHORTS AFTER PROFITS

New Orleans, April 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices to 4
points higher following a firm lead by
Liverpool, where prices were net X point
higher as compared with an expected de-
cline of to III points. Room shorts and
Europe bought here In the first few min
utes, but commission houses took advan-
tage of the higher prices to secure profits.
Soon after the call the whole market
very large port receipts and increased
estimates for this weeks insight" Bear
pressure stimulated the unloading move
ment, and a severe relapse IN the Eng
lish market greatly added to the alarm of
smaller holders. For the balance of the
forenoon the market was weak and ir-
regular, with May off to s.94; July 500
and August to 1882. Bullish statistical re-
ports and claims that spot cotton was
easily maintaining its position at top fig
ures of the season were the supporting
influences in the southern market, but
made little impression on local sentiment.
The afternoon market was quiet and mar
row after light rally occurred on small
estimates for tomorrow's receipts. The
close was barely steady, with prices net
! to s points lower.

A corps of surveyors, fifteen in
number, who have been at work for
the past three months are just two
miles out north of Pennington and 60

defiHitely in whose employ they are or
what is the purpose of their work.
But the belief Ia we'll founded that the
Iron Mountain is surveying a new
road to leaye the main line near
Peevely and continuing southwark to
connect again with the Iron Mountain
or the Cotton Belt. This would en-
able the Mountain to cut off all the
heavy pulls on the main line and get
rid OF the pushers and consequent IN
noyance and delays. As related above,
the object OF the survey ia unknown,
but the Of opinion among
the men who are well posted on these
matters, is that the facts are as we
have stated. OF course Pennington
will not object to getting a direct road.

A much regretted affair occurred
last Saturday q little before dinner at
the High School building. Glenn
Greason, the fifteen-year-old son Of A.
H. Greason, stabbed Prof. W. H.
johnson. The Citizen reporter called
at the High School and saw Prof.
johnson, who said that he had repri-
manded Glenn twice for some breach
of order and had gone to him the third
time and it seems boxed his ears.
just as Prof. johnson struck the boy
he drew hack with his right hand, in
which he held the knife, and stabbed
Prof. johnson in the left forearm.
The kuife was a common pocket knife
but was sharp and went clear to the
bone. The wound was an inch and a
half or two inches long. DR.. David
son dressed the injury. The only ap-
prehension felt is lest blood poisoning
should set in. The affair is regretted
by the boys parents. Glenn and MIR.
johnson seemed to have disagreed
once or twice before, 30 the boy felt
that he was being picked on and hence
relations were very much strained be-
tween the two.-Poplar Bluff Citizen.
