cothran X Co.'S New orleans Letter.

New Orleans. March 6.--Iiverpool to- day gave evidence of a pronounced op- position to enhanced values There was an effort toward a substantial recovery in the English market, but the offerings proved too much, and before the ses- sion was over. one-half of the improve ment was lost Thus such traders that came to the conclusion that liquidation had been completed were distined to dis appointment Exceedingly cratic fluc- tuations were the order here. Intervals of active bidding by big bulls were sue ceeded by pressing offerings from longs, and shorts, which caused prices to sway in wide fashion, but the undertone was extremely nervous and was rather in- clined toward easiness on account of the free movement and the unpromising con of this country.
 Altogether the immediate surrounding features a5e not of nature to encourage liberal purchases of the staple at the present time, for speculative purposes. The infusion of a nervous money situa- tion, in the face of a continuous free movement, notwithstanding bad weather, is not calcuated to effect a prompt re- storation of confidence in the value of the staple, especially considering the ex- isting level. Yet there are various legal arguments to be advanced on the other side, which make the market an exceed ingly risky proposition both ways. Vio- lent fluctuations are very likely to be the rule, and one must be prepared for sud- den reverses on either side of the ac- count.

VI ANKYLOSTOMIASIS.
Queer African Disease that Attacks Cor
:: nish Miners. e.. -.


A new medical name has been given to
disease to which the Cornish miners
are specially addicted. Hitherto it has
been called miners anaemia, but in fu-
ture it will be known as ankylostomiasis.
The home office has issued a report by
pr. J. S. Haldane on. an outbreak Of the
dlsease in Cornish mine, from which
it appears that the miners over their
Liability to it largely to their own unsan-
ltary habits in the mines.
When miner contracts ankylostomia-
SIS his face becomes pale particularly
the lips, tongue and inner surface of the
eyellds, just as in the case of anaemia
commonly met with in young women.
Then he complains of palpitations, diz-
zlress and shortness of breath. His ap-
petite being abnormal, the puzzled suffer
er puts the trouble down to heart dis
ease. At length he dares not ascend a
Ing. and then he has to leave off work.
The disease is a common malady in
Egypt, Brazil and in tropical and sub
tropical countries all over the world.
About twenty-five years ago disease
known as miners anaemia attacked the
workers constructing the St. GOtharl
tunnel, causing great trouble and much
loss of life. French and Belgian coal
miners and German brickmakers are also
subject to it's attacks.
DIR. Haldane is now engaged on de-
tailed investigation of the trouble in as
sOciatiOn with the government inspector
of mines
1t is stated that the present outbreak
Of the disease in Cornwall is due to i'm
portation Of the germ from South At
rica.-London Express.

GIVE ALL YOU CAN.

1t is related that certain farmer once
went to hear John Wesley preach. The
farmer was not a converted man, he
cared little about his religion. On the
other hand. he was not what we call Il
bad man. His attention was soon excit-
ed and riveted.
John said he should take up three top
les of thouSht-he was speaking greatly
about money. His first head was: Get
al lyou cam The farmer nudged a neigh
Dor, and said: This is strange preach
ing! l never heard the like OF this be-
fore! This is very good Yon man has
good things in him. This is admirable
preaching.'
John discoursed of Industry" "Actiyi-
ty, Living to purpose" and reached
his second division, which was: ''Save
all you can" The farmer became more
excited: WAS there ever anything like
this?' he said
Wesley denounced thriftlessness and
waste, and satirized the wicked wilful-
ness which lavishes on lxury, and the
farmer rubbed his hands as he thought,
al! this l have done from my youth
up, and what with getting and what
with boarding. it seemed to him that "sal-
walton had come to his house,
But Wesley advanced to the third head,
Ta Which was: "Give all you cam "Aye
dear, aye dear" said the farmer, ''he
has gone and spoiled it all.''
