 NEW YORK. May i.-The week has been particularly interesting one from the stand tns i,nrs Q, tnose watchins the course of fuctua- so 70 those whose interest lies in the Fall months
 Lne real feature of course was the delivery tracts on Tuesday. but this was without ef- rect upon the price and only in so far as a new interest has been disclosed in that option spot people have taken the cotton delivered on May and from all tha. can be learned both Philadelphia and New England houses must be ,eckoned within the solution of May prob- lem It Is always interesting to get the views or people outside of cotton circles and two sncn snc1 views have recently come to our notice tnst snow the differences in public opinion over the cotton situation. The head of one or the large Western roads, e man noted for ms business sagacity and general information curities. says that if the country does not raise q bumper crop of cotton this season he world are going to do next year. It is gener- ally admitted that consumptin will be in the neighborhood of | ,ooo. ooo bales and equally out of this seasons supply and demand ansertS to carry into the coming year. Last year the visible supply was diminished to the extent the figures on Sept lst would be ss small small as at any time since the Civil War This Sondition % has ere created great deal of interest cotton Is likely to be in demand. .rhis gen tleman was rather optimistic on the pros- poets of prices for such futures as October now selling at 2-cent discount under spot cot ton. The second view and relative to the summer positions is one expressed by a Wal Street man whose knowledg of conditions fl derived from the public press. He Is very much inclined to regard the manipulation ir May cotton as rather similar to that under. taken by Mir. Letter six years ago in thu wheat market. As such attempts uniformi, end in disaster many people regard cotton d view is hardly founded upon actual factor, and figures. Port and interior stocks amount
 to about 67o 900 bales, against e2o GOO las year. ,2i 900 two years ago. and 7Io, OO( in 1900 The New York stock is very smal and what little cotton there Is here is in tn, control of spot people. It Is not as thougl the manipulators were buying. buying, buyins cotton. They are simply holding on the May cotton bought at 9 cents. S% and eh cents the longs have cnuse for anxiety.

 NEW ORLEANS. May LA slight improve ment was noted all around in Liverpool cot ton market today, which cables ascribed to brighter business prospects with India and China as a result of the enhancement in value of silver and this improvement outlook was selected in flrmness for both cloths and yarns in Manchester. Trading moderated somewhat in quantity here. but there was no relaxation in the tone worthy of note. Frequent periodi- cal bidding by bulls served to discourage in- discriminate selling, which the free move- ment for the week may have otherwise per- suaded. Heavy frost was reported in vari- ous localities of the western belt but the disposition seemed to be to await further de- velopments respecting the new crop. The ob- stinate manner in which prices of Summer de- liveries have been sustained in the face of a free movement suggests that the operators en- gagged in such support will continue to re- sist any artificial pressure in a vigorous way
 Thus the announcement that business pros poets for srinners in Manchester have inn proved is quite significant. as any increase in demand for spots is sure to meet a ready response in the contract department and the fact that so much of the cotton available is below the tenderable quality is not likely to console those who have opposed the upward course of the market in a speculative way.

 NEW YORK, May l.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened firm in tone with irst prices at an advance of 3@6 points. The early strength in the market was the result of better cables than had been looked for and comparatively unfavorable crop accounts The old crop months, however appeared to be still under the control of manipuiators. while the new crop futures were inclined to blow up with the tendency of crop adyices. Shorts were good buyers while in addition there was good new buying and some investment business was in evidence. The weather news seemed to be the paramount issue of influence and not few interests were inclined to hold on as the day wore in consequence of . desire to ascertain the extent of damage to the crop plant of cotton. The receipts continued of fairly good proportions. The weekend sta tistics. those that were usually in line with expectation and the weekly summary of The Chronicle was expected to be different from what 1t was At the better prices of the day there was some moderate selling for profits by timid longs. but the stun was generally well taken and a firm urdertone prevailed through out The spot markets were steady with . fair demand from exporters. Spinners did little. The strike news was unchanged. The foreign private news was featureiess the closing quotations being 2hG3 points higher. South ern spectators were on bull side of market. There was considerable liquidation of May cotton by commission houses which had re- ceived notices and wished to dispose of the handling of the cotton.

Perhaps it might be interesting to
you or your readers to know how little
is often really known of that beautiful
flower which grows in such profusion
on the hills of Cameron county and has
been so frequently urged for adoption
as the flower most appropriate for our
National emblem. refer to the laurel
On Friday, June the fifth, Mrs. P. B.
Campbell gave Cuban lawn Fete in
Oakley Hall. Mrs. Campbell is one of
the West Side society leaders and
never does things by half. In speaking
of the decorations for the hall few
weeks ago l suggested laurel and re-
minded her of promise made earlier
in the season, by Mr.. S. J. Fee, to send
her bunch when they were in bloom.
She was delighted with the idea and
l Immediately wrote Mr.. Fee who gen.
erously supplied an abundance of the
lovely blossoms.
The interior of the hall was decorated
to represent the lawn Of a Cuban Club
House, Havana, Cuba. The electric
chandeliers were enclosed in crepe
tissue which cast q delicate shade over
the surroundings. Numerous trees
and patchss of shrubbery adorned the
hall and on which the laurel flowers
had been so tastefully arranged that un-
less closely scrutinized would seem to
have been placed there by nature. A
calcium lamp threw light upon the
principal events. The orchertra play
ed in a bower OF trees and shrubbery,
bedecked with laurel.
Judging from those with whom 1
came in contact dnring the evening l
do not believe that 20 per cent. of the
guests had any idea of the nature of
laurel and most of those present beheld
the flowers for the first time. Some
asked il those were real laurel trees
and some had vague idea that it was
vine. Still others imagined it was a
plant resembling the Golden Rod. But
the beauties of the blossoms seemed to
impress all and manifested itself in the
desire for the possession of sprig with
the result that fully two-thirds of the
laurel was carried away at the close of
the fete
lido not believe that the people of
Cameron county fully appreciate the
beauty nature has bestowed upon them
with anch a lavish hand

His Last Hope Realized.
From the sentinel, Globe, Mont.


ln the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhoea which
it seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became bad he ex-
pected to die, One day one of his neigh
bors brought him one small bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony, and
in a few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect of the medicine was
noticed aud within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep fora fort
night. That one little bottle worked a
complete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item.
