VARYING SIZES OF FISH.
Surprising Fact Concerning Separate
Species Learned at the New
York Aquarium.

There are big fish and little adult
fish of the same species, as there are
big men and little men. Strange and
unaccountable as it may seem, it is
demonstrated fact that there ara fish
of the same species and of the same
age which differ greatly in size. In
some cases it is possible to explain why
there is disparity in size AT the
aquarium, for instance, there are fish
which have not grown for several
years, which would have increased in
size had they been in their native
habitat. In their cases it is known
that their confinement has something
to do with this failure to grow.
A visitor to the biological laboratory
of the New York aquarium few days
ago was surprised to be told that
fish in one of the round glass jars,
which was only an inch or thereabouts
in length was more than year old
Such a fish in its native waters prob
ably would have been four or five
inches long, he was told.
ndb tneTe 10 dlSo an uhuSSouh'o p''
reason for this difference in the size OF
fish was shown by Mr.. Spencer, who
has charge of the aquarium. "You
would be surprised to know" said he,
chat in fish hatcheries you will often
find fish of the same kind and the
same age which are not at all alike
in size. Some will be only half as long
as the others. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to take out the smaller ones, be-
cause the larger ones swallow them"

New York Cotton Futures.
NEW YORK, July 9.-The ruling prices in ne Cotton Exchange today were as follows:
c. E. Pierce 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

lBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee q Col
 NEW YORK, July e.-The market today was decidedly hrmer That is to say, yester- days reaction continued. but with a steadier undertone and less irregularity In the courR of prices. As natural on the first day of covery prices moved around rather uncer- tainly and sentiment lacked confidence during the greater part of yesterdays session. Today. however, there were more buyers In the market in all options and the outlook seemed clearer. After slight setback following the opening commission house orders for the purchase of December and January began to come in and the market improved. Reports from Liverpool showed better spinning demand over there and there a noticeable increase in the invest rnent buying in such options October De- cember and January here. It is now known that the supply of cotton at the close of the year wi be at about record figures as re- gards smailness and this will result in ex- ceedingly active demand for the first of the new crop. This would be natural under any conditions and now that the New Orleans pool seems bent on closing many mills pos sible by charging exorbitant price for the cotton owned by 1t there will be a very liberal demand for cotton during the early Fall months. We have received trustworthy ad- vices that fully 75 per cent. of New England mills will shut down for or weeks during August. Weather conditions were again satis- factory today although reports of insect dam age continue to be received from Texas. We cannot but feel that the purchase of December and sanuary around e1ac is to be advised and the very first unfavorable weather develop fnents will result in sharp advance in those positions. s1 2

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
BULL SUPPORT AND BETTER
 CABLES THAN EXPECTED.
At the Close of Trading Values Show Net Gains of 8 to 95 Points Excitement in the Last
 Hour.

NEW YORK. July e.-The cotton market opened hrm at an advance of 3 points to . decline of point. the loss being confined to the January option The gains were due to further bull support and frmer cables than ex- pected. particularly in regard to spot cotton. which was 10. points higher In the English market, with sales reported of 10000 bales. The bears were in way disheartened appa- rentiy by this showing. however. and with fa- vorable weather all over the belt they imme- dfately attacked the list vigorously, selling prices down from about 5 ito r points. Then % appear more prominently in the dealings. From that time to the finish the course of values was almost uninterruptedly upward. At frst the rally was slow and lacked the vio- fence and activity which has recently marked the movement of prices. but finding the resits- ance of the bears becoming less aggressive, the bulls bought more and more freely until at dent by the apparent poweriessness of the Wall Street syndicate and reports of damage by boil weevil in Texas. were in fuli retreat In the last hour the market became very active and excited and the near positions were ad~ ixanced in quite as sensational a manner as has yet been witnessed during the bull cam paign. August had reached I2. or. then 2 20 bid and no sale; finally a seller was found at i2.30 Then 2.35 was reached. this being nn advance of s7 points over the closing of the preceding day. or nearly S5 bale July, while less active was less firm, reaching l2. 65. . net gain of TO points over yester- days final quotations. while September reached to.5o October 9.e5. December STA and January e7o In the last few minutes real tive months. July closing at l2.40. August l2. 25 and September io77 The market was finally steady. net 9@95 points higher. Sales were estimated at 300, 900 bales.

 NEW ORLEANS, July s.-Liverpooi advices were more favorable than expected. but our market. in tine face of this only opened 50 I2 points higher on the old crop months and 1 on September and declined i@3 points on the new crop months. Realizing subsequently, occa- stoned an aditional decline of 416 points on the nearer months Later in the session the circulation of more boil weevii reports from Texas. claiming that they were spreading and doing considerable damage and shorts cover ing caused an advance of 32G35 points from the bottom on old crop months, 8 on Septem- Der nd 2lG22 on the other positions. Near the close room traders taking profits superin- duced a slight recession, making the net gain 40 points on July. A on August. 35 Sep tember and ll@I3 on other positions Liver pool cables say the general opinion prevalent there Is that prices have touched bottom for the present. and spinners seem to be taking more interest in spots. In addition to the steadiness displayed in Liverpoi 1t appears as if the Wall Street clique succeeded in creating tried to cover there was an absence of sellers. which foroed values upwards quickly In the meanwhile the new investors taking hold now are not as strong as their predecessors, con sequently any ainfavofable feature may again precipitate a decline Nevertheless, as long as spot holders are firm and the near positions can be held, there Is every inducement to buy Winter months on all decided declines with a view to realizing on spurts. The visible sup ply variations, the weather conditions and the demand for spots will. however. ultimately reg ulate values.

NEW ORLEANS. July e.-A substantial fac tor in the English market today the lib- eral purchases of spots while foreign buying in this country is also a large scale De- iiveries were advanced at one time during the day some l4 points on the near and on the late months Early cables read fol- lows; The position ot cotton its own merit sis healthy. There is a good undertone and any favorable circumstances will cause ad- vance. Think both spinners and exporters will enter the market soon. which they have shown a disposition to do yesterday and today. It must not be overlooked that the big bear in- terest recently developed has now to deal with a different character of long interests than when they began selling last week. for now 1t is strongly margined long interest against a moderately margined long interest then" Not withstanding the decidedly more favorable and Encouraging foreign news. the opening of the local market practically at unchanged prices and further hammering by the bear crowd carried prices down some 7G6 points However. the raid made by the shorts was soon checked by the ready absorption of all offerings the bulls proving too strong for the contingent opposing the advance and in con sequence a rally to yesterdays highest prices was soon in order. September selling high as lO.77 and December 9.64.
