COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Oct. 6.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of Gas
points on better cables than expected
and covering, but demand was light
ana after showing little further gains
on some months, the market eased off
10 about yesterdays finals under liqui-
dalton, and bear pressure. The re-
eeipts for the day bid fair to fall be-
low last years, however; there was an
ldea that the weekly weather bureau
report would make a bullish showing,
ana toward noon the market steadied
up on renewed covering, and some out
SIDE demand, reaching a basis about 4
TO points net higher. At this level
the weekly report was read and proved
more favorable to the crop than had
oeen expected, and with fun estimates
Tor to-morroWS receipts at leading
points in connection with further
southern spot markets, the list turned
weak again, declining sharply under
heavy selling for bear accounts. The
close was within or 4 points of the
lowest on the active nearby months.
While the later positions were at the
potion, and the general list was final
~ net, to Is points lower. The clos
ing tone was steady. Sales were esti-
mated at $4,000 bales. Port receipts
for the day footed up 6S232 bales,
against 70,5S4 last year, and exports
amounted to about $1,000 bales. The
weather reflected very favora BILE
temperatures over the belt, and the
showers reported were not thought det-
rlmental to the furthering of the yield.
The Liverpool market after opening
ABOUT as expected, reserved most of
the loss. and at the hour of the local
opening was about at the first quota

street keeps uncertain and every one
is conservative, To-day Liverpool did
some good buying, but it did not pre-
vent the break later on in the day.
There was too much cotton for sale.
We feel this is the time to be very
cautious on the short side. 1t is so
easy to sell there is nothing in the i'm
mediate situation to cause one to buy,
that it may. prove very disastrous to
go heavily short just at this time The
average trader is bearish in the ex-
IRENE. The cotton to be turned over
on October seems likely to carry that
option down through cents. We can
not advise buying, but we would be
very cautious on the short side on
such breaks as this Crop news is the
worst of the year.

Atlanta, Oct. 6.-Following is the
summary of the weekly crop and
weather bulletin as issued by Section
Director Marbury Of the United States
Weather Bureau to-day:
"A very dry, moderately warm week,
favorable for cotton picking, but detri-
mental to late growing crops. Cotton
continues opening steadily but is taxi
ing on no new growth; bolls are small
and late bolls are opening premature
ly; lint is short; shedding and rust app
pear to be decreasing. The proportion
of cotton gathered is variable in the
northern section one-fourth to one-half
of the crop is picked; in the middle
counties. one-third to one-half, and in
the southern, one-half to three-fourths:
the general yield is below the average.
Pastures are failing, owing to the
drought"

Ware & LeIand's Cotton Letter.

New York. Oct. 6.-There is very lit
tie to be said about this market. 1t
is very weak There seems to be no in
ducement to buy and every one is will
ing to sell. The movement is very
heavy and as long as this keeps up. it
is hard to realize that the crop may
not prove equal to the supply later in
the year. There is no buying power
in evidence and a few traders have
courage to sell on any advance. Spin
ners can not see their way clear to
buy heavily at the moment and this
completes the bear factors. Wall

While weather conditions are not now

KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON.

Artillery charged with grapeshot
has been employed to destroy great
fortresses which the termites, or war
rior ants have made in many tropl-
cal countries.
In South Africa the termites work
enormous havoc They live in re-
public of their own, and some OF
them have wings The workmen, the
soldiers and the queens, however.
have none.
The workmen construct their build
ings, the soldiers defend the colony
and keep order and the females, or
queens, are cared for by all the others.
These become, in point of fact. mere
egg laying machines which have to
remain tied to one spot.
Their nesting homes are crten
twenty feet high and pyramidal in
shape. Cattle climb upon them with
out crushing them. dozen men can
find shelter in some of their cham
bers and native hunters often lie in
wait inside them when out after ~ila
animals
The aunts construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore of a large
cannon and which run three or four
feet underground.
The nests are said to be five hun.
dred times as high as the ants body.
and it has been estimated that If
we built our houses on the same
scale they would be four times as
high as the pyramids of Egypt.

The shcps are full Of the loveliest
and most inexpensive materials which
make up beautifully into summer

Leonardo Da Vinci's Great Painting,
fThe Last SUPPER Destroyed Forever

my hearers To such a national
trait Leonardo, who observed every
characteristic with the greatest at
tention, must have TUNED his search
ing eye; IN this the present picture is
unique, and one cannot observe it
too much
The figures or both sides of our
Lord may be considered in groups of
three, and each group may be re-
garded as unit, placed in relation and
still held in connection with it's
neighbors. On Christs immediate
right are John, Judas and Peter.
Peter the farthest, on hearing the
words of our Lord rises suddenly in
conformity with his vehement cnar-
acter, behind Judas, who, looking
up with terrified countenance, leans
over the table, tightly clutching the
purse with his right hand. whilst with
the left he makes an involuntary
nervous motion as if to say: What
may this mean? What is to happen?
Peter, meanwhile, with his left hand,
has seized the right shoulder of John,
who is bending towards him, and
points to Christ, at the same time
urging the beloved disciple to ask:
Who is the traitOr?' He accidentally
touches Judas side with the handle
of knife held in his right hand,
which occasions the terrified forward
movement upsetting the salt cellar, so
happily brought out This group may
be considered as the one first
thought of by the artist; it is the
most perfect New York American.

the other hunters and secure the
prize.
There are as many different theor-
les about the best way to catch the
Summer Man as there ale ABOUT me
thods of angling for trout. Some Wo-
men boldly hunt it in the open on
hotel galleries and annex il by force;
others spread their snares on the
golf links still others attempt to lure
1t to their hand by singing sentlmen-
tai songs in the moonlight, While
some very successful hunteresses de
clare that theie is nothing like get
ting one out in boat, throwing 1t Off
its guard by a pretense of mannish-
ness-for no man could be given one
OF these birds as present-and then
nab it quick before it has time to
back to the woods All women agree,
however, that the only way to keep
a Summer Man is never to introduce
it to another woman or let her get
within speaking distance of it.
1t is not known why women value
these birds SO highly, or are so ready
to break their necks to catch one in
the Summer, as they generally turn
them loose as soon as the season is
over. Some ornithologists contend
that they are hunted merely for the
pleasure of the chase, and that the
only reason a woman wants one is
to keep some other woman from hav-
ing it, but this is clearly foreign to
the sweet, altrustic spirit of the fair
sex
The best place in the world to snare
the Summer Man is in New York dur
ing the dog days. Then. thinking its
pursuers have all gone to the noun

great numbers, and the girl on the
