 NEW ORLEANS, May s.-Co4ton was ex- ceedingiy dull in all departments to-day. There were plenty of advocates in favor of one side or the other. but few willing to en- gage in an active way on the open market. Strong statistics and unsatisfactory condi- tions in growing crop dissuaded short sell ing. while the absence of spot inquiry dis couraged speculative purchases of any ap- preciabfe quantity.
 The attitude of Liverpool was distinctly unfavorable, the occasior for which cables failed to explain; but an impression pre- vailed that fears of a panic on the Paris Bourse in consequence of Russian reverses produced a depressing effect on the English market. Opening prices here were rather steady. as a result purchases induced by the prevalence of colder weather over a large portion of the belt, but in the end matters drifted into a disposition to let affairs shape their immediate course. It is evident that in order to stimulate prices better spot demand is necessary, whether 1t comes from the regular trade or from, combined specu- iatiye sources. The new crop has undoubt- edly been impeded. but traders are not will ing to draw conclusions on that point owing to possibility of interruptions being offset by favorable seasons henceforth. It would be interesting to know, therefore. for what length of time spinners can continue the policy of abstainins from active purchases.

z MOHTGOMEk1t May e.--LfVerpool ana New York opened easier than expected. but New Orleans stood her ground by opening about the same as Saturdays close on near months and a shade lower for the new crop. The market improved slightly after the opening on small receipts and low tempera- lures with little or no rain to speak of east of the Mississippi River. but later sold off on official forecast for fair and warm CT weather west of the Mississippi River tonight and Tuesday, and while fair weather conditions will probabiy prevail. indications point to . continuance of cool weather southwest The New York market opened easy stsa decline Of s to 6 points There was some selling on the part of longs who had carried cotton over from last week Conditions are and have been unfavorable in spite of the fact that the much needed rain has come In some sections of the belt recently. The general aversce of rain in the belt since Saturday is gfcen at .22. It matters not how small the outturn may be if spinners continue to curtaii their takings on the same ratio the past four weeks The visible supply variations and the spin ners' tal<ings from week to week are the most important legitimate factors and should be watched closely. We received to- day large quantity of pessimistic reports as regards weather conditions as affecting ticai about them as they are not backed up by any buying orders as yet. Port receipts to-day, 4,o00. against 5000 last week and s.T0o last year. We had the usual Monday weakness in the market to-day The tone. however, was steady owing to cooler wealth CT Estimated receipts at Galveston to- morrow, 1900 to 2,i00 bales: New Orleans. i.soo to 2,7oo. and at Houston. 800 to 1000 bales.

TEST RUSSIAN RIGHTS.

Washington, Aug. Ambassador
Mccormick has cabled the first offic-
ial report of the prize court proceed
ings at Vladivostok in the case of the
steamer Arabia, whose flour and rail-
way material consigned to Japan were
confiscated as contraband. With the
official statement as basis, Secretary
Hay has taken the case in hand with
a view to making test that shall be
final of the right of belligerent to
seize foodstuffs not directly consigned
to the forces of another belligerent
The State department firmly insists
that such goods are not contraband
and will endeavor to press this view
on the Russian government, which, if
it accepts our contention, will release
the seized goods or pay-for them.

GOOD NEWS.
Many Montpelier Readers Have Heard II
and PrOflted Thereby.

"Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Montpelier are glad to learn that
prompt relief is within their reach.
Many lame, weak and aching back
is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Our citizens are telling
the good news of their experience with
the Old Quaker remedy. Here is an
example worth reading;
Mrs. O. f. Brockway of Sutton,
VT, says: From reading an adver-
tisement in Montpelier paper 1 came
to the conclusion that Doan's Kidney
Pills would cure me. 1 made an in
quiry the next day at the druggists,
and as he did not have them | wrote
to Montpelier for them and received
them from W. E. Poole, druggist.
Doan's Kidney Pills were just what
needed. L was getting along famous
ly when LaGrippe Frustrated me.
When the attack abated somewhat,
severe kidney trouble set in, and 1
had to do something at once My
husband searched Sutton for Doan s
Kidney Pills and drove to Lyndon for
them, but was unsuccessful in procul
ing them there. What endured be-
fore second supply reached me- from
Montpelier is hard to describe. l can
only add to my opinion of Doan S
Kidney Pills that L am confident
had [ known of them when ! first
found out that 1 had kidney trouble |
would never have been as bad as
was. l found Doan's Kidney Pills Of
great benefit and if my experience
will be the means of alleviating such
sufferers you may have permission to
publish it"

BOY CORN GROWERS.
How One Industrious Boy Started
Movement for Scientific Farming.

In his article on the agricultural
exhibit at The fair in the August
Worlds Work M. G.. Cunniff tells this
significant story of corn growing in
Illinois. W. B. Orwell was president
of the Farmers Institute of Macoopen
County. The thought struck him
chat if the farmer boys throughout
his county could be induced to take
an interest in the effort, Macoopen
County would produce the finest corn
in the world. He persuaded the in
stitute to offer prize for the best
ten ears of corn grown by Macoopen
County farmer boys. Each boy made
application to him, and received a
package of selected seed-Yellow Dent
and Boone County White. Hundreds
applied
In the fall, the boys sent in their
corn The prize-a bicycle - was
awarded. Mr.. Orwell went down TO
see the boy who won-expecting TO
find him the son of n prosperous farm
er. The boy proved to be the four
teen year-old son of poor widow in
habiting little prairie cabin. All
summer, the boy had "toteo" water
from the we'll to his corn-patch in
bucketfuls. His industry had been
remarkable. He was invited to the
next meeting of the Farmers Insti-
tute. Mr.. Orwell lifted him upon a
table. "ThIs," said he. turning to
the assembled farmers, as he pointed
to the little barefoot youngster in his
blue-jean overslls, lis the boy who
won the prize. The cheers that
greeted the boy we're louder than those
which later on greeted the Governor
of the State, when ne came down to
make speech.
For, when these contests had con-
tinued several years, the governor
became interested. Mr.. Orwell had
conceived the idea of extending the
contest to boys Of the State, and
showing at st. Louis the corn they
produced. The Governor subscribed.
So did other citizens. One offered a
81, 900 Holstein COW for first prize.
Other prizes were offered-wagons
/ and plows and windmills. Seventeen
| thousandlboys wrote for seed and in.
| formation. Two farm wagons would
not contain all the letters. The State
went into wild enthusiasm-over corn.
