THE BULLS AND BEARS.
Excitement Over Cotton Flu

Are still in the Lead.

New York, May 26.-Trading was fair
ly active in the cotton market at the

lively little Of the rush and excitement
that has marked the last two weeks.
Still the cables were better than due
lon the local orders OF yesterday and
and the weather more recently has been
considered more favorable the market
at a decline of 2 points on May
Ito an advance of y points with the new
crop months again exhibiting the great
lest strength. Speculation early was
quite general, the transactions being in
smaller lots but coming from a greater
humber of sources. Europe, the south,
and commission houses bought the late
months on the theory that the weekly
bureau report due at noon would make
la bullish showing while there is also a
disposition to look for a bullish monthly
report on June 3rd.'
There was a reaction Of five or six
mouths from the best prices of the
morning under profit taking and whe
the weekly bureau report, which at
first sight seemed less bullish than ex-
|pected was published, tn, losses were
lightly increased. But the details Of
the report proved less favorable than
had been gathered from the summary,
$50 the new crop shorts covered, rally
ling those positions sharply.

the trial Hussner vas sentenced 70
four years and one weeks impr.son-
ment and to degradation.
Hussner's replies 10 the presidents
questions were straightforward. He
said that while regretting that his
sword strikes killed the artilleryman ne
affirmed that he acted within the ser
vice instructions and that ne was oh
liged by honor to compel obedience.
But. said the president, you said
you never drew your weapon without

Here Hussner mentioned the name Of
an officer who after having been struck

When prize fighters meet in the ring
for a contest the last thing o after
all arrangements are made and before
the war of fists begins is for the two
fighters to meet in the center of the
ring and shake hands. h is simply
a formaEty. 1t does not signify any
friendship of the men toward each
other; nor is it a pledge that either
will not try to bung the other up to
the best of his ability. The spectators
know this; still they take an interest
in the manner in which each of the
fighters demeans himself toward the
other during this ceremony. Some
times this is done with a smile. and
perhaps a pleasant remark by one of
the fighters. which is met by a scowl
and a look of hatred and defiance on
the part of the other, or at least a
merely ~perfunctory performance OF this
accustomed ceremony. The battle of
papers is on in Charlotte. The Even
