New York, April 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened easy with prices to Q
points lower in response to weak Liver
pool cables and large port receipts but
almost Immediately rallied on a movement
to cover by leading bears who beared the
bullish legitimate side of the market.
Whereas, May sold at eli, July at 9.oS
and August at S.s5 on the call, these OPP
tons soon stiffened to s.14. $40 and s.ss
respectively. In the New Orleans market
July opened of points and Immediately
rallied points to 9I for July, thus
showing no lack Of bull courage in that
market.
Private advices as to the ruling OF spot
Southern markets told OF continued heavy
demand at full prices. Receipts at the
ports we're close to 1000 bales, an compared
with 1895 bales same day last year. The
Houston estimate for Monday helped to
check renewed investment buying this
morning. Between 1900 and 200 bales were
expected against a75s last Monday and
1924 bales last year. Wall street was
light buyer of July on the break and
the room trade as a general thing adopted

Haydn's Dictionary Of Dates"
makes the settlement that the old name
of the city Of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin. meaning "the city
on the lake" An old tradition gives
us to understand that London was
founded by Brute. a descendant Of
Eneas. and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time of Lud. who sur
rounded the town with walls aud nam
I'd it Caer Lud. or Lud's town. This
latter is probably the correct version of
the story. if for no other reason be
cause II is an easy matter TO detect a

Wien SIX Wa. PRECIOUS.

Common as is silk nowadays. in car
lier times IL was most precious ma
terial. When ii was first brought into
Europe, silk commanded three times
its weight in gold. and so valuable was
it deemed that in the reign of Tiberius
law was passed forhidding it to all
save noble ladies' and prohibiting men
from wearing il on the ground of its
effeminacy. SO unusual was it even
200 years later for a man to wear silk
that every historian OF the time OF
Heliogabalus noted the fact that that
emperor had silk gown. For ages it
continued at an abnormally high price.
CharlemaEne in the year $50 could
send to King Offa Of Mercia no more
valuable n present than two silk coats.
