Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, March 27.-There was no
change in the early market. The de-
cline of yesterday was believed to be
ample and a better market was be-
lieved to be pending. The weather sit
uation is still bullish factor. 1t keeps
too unsettled and tends to restrain the
movement and prevent cotton coming
forward, provided there is any of con-
sequence to come forward, which is not
at all probable. To-day's weather re-
port was good, except for portions Of
Texas and adjoining country, while
the government forecast was for rain
or showers over the entire belt, and
this was enough to advance the market
5 points after the opening on small
dealings. The insight figures for the
week pointed to. 10000 bales, against
1922 900 last week, and port receipts, 49,
900, against $4,000 last week. The fear
of a May corner is growing, and bulls
expect to profit by the census ginning
report, to be issued before many days,
which can scarcely fail to be bullish.
The threatened strike at Lowell has
failed SO far to undermine confidence.
Gables, dull, 1@2 points decline. Yarns
in Manchester dull and little further
inquiry.

hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cation Letter.

New York, March 27.-Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.81@9.S2c,
closed 9.S5c, and after selling at 1850
9.S7c, ruled at 9.S6 at p. M The Liv-
erpool market to-day was idle on ac-
count of the grand national steeple-
chase and annual race, which draws
nearly every one who can possibly at
tend Therefore, although closing dull
and lower, it hardly represented for
eign opinion. Locally the July position
was supported from the start by the
bull party, who absorbed the liquida-
ton of outside holders, who are dis
couraged by the movement, showing
an increase over last season. 1t is now
generally thought that the movement
points to a crop of about 100000
bales. Large receipts are reported at
Bombay, $4,000 more than last season,
with shipments to Europe aggregating
274, 900 bales more than last season. So
strong, however, is the statistical posi-
ton that even in the face of the threat
ened labor troubles in New England
and dull market abroad, no one dare
sell short. The close was steady at
the best prices, under continued sup
port from the bull party. Liverpool
should rally tomorrow. The spot mar
ket was dull and unchanged.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet to-day, with
the demand moderate, and sales from
factors tables of none. The market
closed &c down on the week. The de-
mand was of desu1tory sort, with an
evident intention on the part of Europe
to remain out to test the strength of
the American markets. To-day's re-
ceipts were 1898, against 500 last year,
and 2,143 year before last. In the t. o.
b. market the demand was also light,
and the trade on both sides Indifferent.
Cotton appeared to have little attrac-
ton for any. The current price of ba-
sis &. m. was 10Hc.

The Lick Observatory.

Atlantic: 1t is the equable climate
OF mid California that has justified
Mt. Hamilton's distinction as the site
Of a great observatory. Lifting far
enough above the populous valleys to
escape their dust and smoke, 1t yet
avoids the rigors Of greater attitudes
and their varying extremes. over 1t
domes q sky like Italy's, sparing of
rain, prodigal Of sun, where by nights
magic heights Of blue grow depths of
blackness, and reach beyond reach the
far stars shine we cannot number. This
u%ntroubled atmosphere has kept the
Lick telescope, no longer the largest in
the world, still king in It's realm. and
has drawn to the wilderness a group
Of men who count the heavens a re-
compense for the loss of the world;
men who are willing to give their lives
to the working out of problems that
may take a life's time to solve. For
discoveries OF sudden II startling facts
and phenomena, in which the Lick OBJ
s~ervatory has had Its share, are usual
ly incidental, things picked up by the
way in the prosecution Of long inquiries
such as only observatories Of pure re-
search may undertake. The patient
saving of detail, the persistent follow
ing of uncertain clues, the applying of
mathematical tests, the interpreting OF
mathematical prophecy, the handling
of machinery, the designing Of delicate
Instruments, II the making and care
of them-all these things make up the
astronomers workaday life, but are
hardly guessed by the visitor who is
entertained Of a Saturday night with
a surface view OF results, and the look
of the stars through the telescopes that
James Lick willed should be free to all.

Cyrus Townsend Brady was talking
about the itinerant preachers of the
past.
These men," he said, were rugged
and sincere. Their minds, If they were
coarse, were also strong. Their elo-
quence was something powerful; some
times It was amazing.
There was a notable itinerant who
once preached on the Glory of the
Saints and the description Of a saints
glory that he gave in this sermon de-
serves, ! think, to be perpetuated.
This is 1t, word for word:
""Who, my brethren, can describe the
glory of a saint? Why, nothing on
earth can liken it. If you drill a hole
through the sun and put 1t on your
head for a crown, and split the moon
in sunder and put the pieces on your
shoulders for epaulettes-if you tear
down the starry curtain OF the skies
and wrap it all round your body for a
robe, and ride TO heaven on the light
ming wings of the tempest, his will
be nthing to the glory of the saints"

THE AMERICAN OSTRICH.
He's Doing a Good Business in Feath'
ers and ls Breeding Rapidly.

Town and County: A recent shipment OF
forty ostriches TO Nice, on the borders Of
Italy and Frarce, from California, directs
attention to this growing California indus-
try-the culture Of the African ostrich I'm
America. Just about fifteen years have
elapsed since the American ostrich farm
ers gave their first serious attention 10
this subject. Now the ostrich Industry Is
well established I'm the United States, some
800 birds existing in the country, and
these will doubtless form the nucleus OF
that Immense number that will one day
cover the mesas OF southern California,
the meadows of Arizona, the vast plateaus
of Texas and the everglades OF Florida,
as their kind do the African Yeldt today.
The ostrich has come to stay, ne costs
little to keep-not more than the ordinary
Sheppard yields an annual value Of $50 to
the proprietor. on man can take care of
100 ostriches. The creature is hardy and
OF a careless appetite. The average In
crease to the stock Is between fifteen and
twenty ostriches to a pair. Some have
been known to produce as many as thirty
seven in a year. The birds are kept In
pens In California, and a source Of revenue
has been found In exhibiting them TO
many tourists who are attracted there.
1ncubators showing the various stages of
ostrich life are also on view. A growth
$3.50 NS 49, - - 49,
feet Is q question of only six months.
When the birds are a year old their
feathers are ready for the market. The
cropping Is accomplished by covering the
ostrich's head with a hood and plying 9
pair of shears. This process takes place
every eight months. The feathers on the
large side wings are cut off near the roots
and the smaller feathers on the all are
pulled out without injury to the llrd. fol
on the care now bestowed depends the fu
ture health of the coming feather In tn,
course Of three weeks the stems left staG
to fall out and a new feather begins e
grow, which in due TIM IS taken off foI
the benefit OF the ostrich farmer. Th'
feathers are graded and sent 10 the feath
err manufacturers Of New York, who max,
them up In the beautiful articles OF dres
SO dear to the hearts of those who wea
them. When the American woman cal

OF Edwin Cawston, the pioneer Califor
MIA ostrich farmer, will ave been real
