 ran & Co.
 New York August 16.-The market ia being flooded with bad crop accounts by the bull interest centered in Wall street. These reports are to be trusted just about as much as those brilliant 13,O0o. : 000-bale crop accounts circulated in July were. They are considered now as they were then-one-sided. The crop is doing fairly well.
 It never has progressed in a way to make a bumper yield. The normal Au- gust deterioration Is taking place and we expect the next report to show a condi ton of about 75 This would mean a crop of about 100000. and not 13,0Oo, 900 bales. There are many bad spots east of the river. and as far as Texas goes. that state may not produce the crop that it has been expected to. But, on the other hand, any attempt to kill the crop now is as futile as the attempt to prove 1t a big one a month ago. On a break in the market Monday we would be inclined to take back the cotton sold on the advance.
 October Is not likely to work much be- low "A cents until the crop Is beyond the frost period. But at this season of the year a bull market can hardly be ex-

PROFIT TAKING ADVISED

New York, August 1e,-The cotton mar ket opened barely steady with prices two points higher to one point lower. The room contingent appeared to be very mixed in its ideas to the immediate course of the market, owing to the exceptionally conflicting influences Rt work and devoted operations almost exclusively to working out of former ventures.
 The English cables were considerably better than expected, futures closing net unchanged to 1h point higher, whereas q decline of 1M points had been quite gen. eraily anticipated by the trade here Crop advices from the eastern belt reported moderate rains. Europe and the south sent small selling orders and commis- sion houses as a rule advised constituents to take profits, believing that some other decline was at hand. whereas August managed to stiffen to s.45 on the call Later sales were affected at a sharp turn from that figure.
 Receipts continued much smaller than looked for, but had little weight as an influence. Disappointing reports came to hand from southern spot cotton markets and trade in dry goods gave little sign of broadening. The official weather map gave neither side special advantage.

New orIeana Market.

New Orleans, August 16.-A fair de- mand for spot cotton prevailed today, buyers moving about freely in search of desirable lists; but apart from the hold ings of two houses that are not inclined to trade upon the basis of current values, the market is practically bare of accept able grades. Sales, $50 bales. Quota tions unchanged.
 In futures only a moderate business was transacted. The opening range was not materially apart from yesterday 8 closing prices and the variations there after, while fairly wide covering. to 4 points, were not indicative of any par ticular sentiment among operators. On the contrary the market was most un- interesting, and at the end of the short hours showed net gains of but 1 to 3 points from yesterdays closing values.

The valleys are fertile and we'll
watered with fine streams, several OF
which are spanned with substantial
stone and iron bridges. The prin-
cipal harbor of the colony is Kings
town. The harbor is formed by the
projection into the sea of two pro-
montories, the extremities of two
spurs thrown out by Mount St. An
drew. The shore is sandy and the
sea so smooth, generally, that boats
can be beached anywhere along it.
There are about 70 miles of roads
running around and through the is
land, these being for the most part
ways afford very picturesque views
of this beautiful island. Communi-
cation along the coast is maintained
in a very unique manner. The ma
tives propel large, six-oared canoes,
these plying daily for about 20 miles.
to the island to inspect the coast
and the peculiar people living along
it with these vessels.
Steamers anchor in the bay, and
the cargo is transported to and from
the shores in lighters called Moses
boats. These are peculiarly shaped
and are built only in st. Vincent.
The town of Kingstown is remarkably
well laid out and is one of the pref
tiest small ports in the West Indies.

merly under the general government
of the Windward islands, Barbados
being headquarters, but in 1885 Bar
BADGES was made a separate govern
ment, and Grenada, ST. Vincent, To-
bago and st. Lucia were placed under
a governor. The official council of st.
Vincent is composed of eight men,
bers, nominated by the British crown.
The population of the island il
about $4,000, of whom some 1000 are
negroes. Kingstowr has a popula-
tion of 5000. The principal exports
are sugar, rum, cacao, spices and ar
rowroot. The chief imports from the
United States are breadstuffs and
small hardware.
La Soufriere rises several miles
from the shore. Its crater is about
three miles in diameter, and there is
lake within it about quarter of a
mile in diameter. The impression
the islands makes upon travellers pas
sing in steamships was described by
Lafcadio Hearne in his book, 1.-TWO
Years in the West Indies," in these
words:
but over the verge of the sea
there is something strange growing
visible, looming up like beautiful
yellow cloud. 1t is an island, so lof-
ty, luminous, so phantom-like, that it
seems a vision of the Island of Seven
