NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET

New Orleans, July 1.-Spot cotton
quiet but firm. Quotations unchanged.
The future market opened with bullish
sentiment much in evidence. LIVERPOOL
made fairly wide advances in both
spots and futures and the weather
forecast contained enough rain and
cool weather to be considered decided
~ pulllsh. Added to these two factors
was the coming bureau reports for
June. To-day was receiving day and
contrary to reports spread by the
bears that the long bull clique was un-
able to finance its July deal arrange
ments were made to pay the money
for the $4,000 bales rendered on notice
day. Early in the morning it was esti-
mated that about 5000 bales had been
received by the local longs. This ready
receiving of the cotton rendered also
had the effect of strengthening the
market. The opening prices were 5
points upon July, August, 3; Septem-
Der 2 and I points on the other new
crop positions. Later in the day the
winter months gained to points adj
ditional, but eased off before the close.

DRY GOODS.

New York, July 1.-The situation in
drv goods shows little improvement as
far as buying is concerned. Sellers
are advancing prices every day, and
the effect of the curtailment policy
is likely to be felt in the near future
to more appreciable degree than it
has heretofore. Everything tends to
even higher prices, but buyers are
operating conservatively as possible in
order to avoid to bidding the market
up against themselves.

Nativity oftLle Potato.

There is as much mystery as history
connected with the common tuber called
I he potato, says the Boston Transcript
It's nativity, original place in tho king
dom Of natulv and several other things
regarding 1t are still open questions. AS
to its nativity, the weight of argument
seems to favor the tropical or sublropi-
cal regions of America. There is n tradi-
ton that the vines once grew to mon
strous size and that the "bdlls" were of
he 'bigness OF melons," and at that time
The roots were not tE,ers,e the edible parts
growing among the branches. 1t seems
that they We're first introduced into
Europe in the year 1865.
Haskell's Roots end Wild Plants says
"Wamkins first fetched a queer dubious
root out of America which some called Il
'bodado,' while others, who had heard tho
Per,vians mention It, spokeyof 1t as a
potato" Pe,:ams, Gyclop2edia , of Agrl-,
culture says that Sir John Wamkins found
it growing wild near Santa Re de Bogota
ut an altitude Of 5000 to $1,000 feet. He
nlso SAYS that It was ,"fetched out u

by Haskell, the year 1850. 80

OF clover that makes a horse slobbcr and
Is there any preventative?
OLD READER.
1t is an undecided question, what causes
sobborpE OF horses from eating Of a
second crop OF clover. 1t Is thought by
some to be caused by the nature OF the
second crop others claim that It Is
caused by the presence Of tiny milk
weed. growing In the clover. and this
may be the case. M horses often slobber
