JUMP IN COTTON FUTURES.
Exciting Time at New Orleans Cotton
Exchange.

New Orleans, Dec. 3-New Orleans
cotton futures jumped from 50 to SO
points on the reading of the bureau re-
port and estimate of this seasons crop.
1t was the most exciting day in Ehe
history of the cotton exchange. The
trading ring had to be roped off so that
the brokers, 20 deep around it, might
have all the room possible to trade in.
The trading floor was so crowded that
was hardly possible to get from one
end of the room to another.
When the estimate was read the
trading was almost impossible owing
to the confusion The volume of trade
probably greatly exceeded that of any
previous day in the history of the ex
change.

of other prominent bulls, bid for i'm

Ariznna Sunshine.

the name Arizona, first of all, suggests
sunshine and plenty of it. Nowhere on
the globe is sunshine more abundant,
more appreciated or more harmless. IN
deed sunstroke has never been re-
corded in this territory. Though all
good Arizonians have crossed the Has
sayampa river. which act, according
to tradition, divests one of the power
to tell the truth, believe their records
are accurate as to sunstroke. The ex'
planation'i is found in the fact that heat
Is not so much a matter of thermome,
