Weather Conditions.

Fair weather has prevailed in the East and South, with increased cloudiness in latter re- zion, under influence of decided disturbance moving eastward over the upper Mississippi valley. which has caused rain or snow in mid dle western and some central and Lake dis tricts; temperatures are higher f. om the Gulf States north through the great valleys to the upper lake region, but are somewhat lower in the Northeast; an area of comparatively high barometer dipping southward over Mon tona Is causing somewhat colder in the middle west and south along the east slope of the Rockies.

 NEW YORK. March Io.-May and July cot ton sold at i6.l2 cents in the local market to-day. That is the high point of the pres ent move and shows the trend of the market. 4 peculiar feature of the advance is the com paratively quiet way in which the price moves up. To-day for instance. there was no furore. just simple advance and a steady one. In Liverpool spot cotton sold at lIlh cents or about that price and futures held their own. The local market opened lower because prices abroad weee hardly strong enough. But there very little cotton for sale and as the spot markets of the South showed some improvement prices here ad- vanced We have seldom seen a steady, easy advance of this kind that ended In this way. It nearly always ends with wild advance of several days. We cannot but feel that prices may be higher, because the move- ment Is small and consumers are likely to become alarmed. Liverpool is s:aking tho cotton and before long there is likely to be scramble unless receipts much larger. While advising caution We can see nothing in the situation to bring to short cotton as there is everyr eason to believe prices will be higher than ever before a new crop can be raised. For this reason would continue to go with the market Receipts are alarm ing.

New York. March 10.-The cotton mar ket opened barely steady at decline of 6712 points on the old and of 3@7 points on the new crop months. This was in line with rather easier cables than ex- pected which promoted considerable liqui- dation on the call but after some little ir- regularity the small estimates for the Hays receipts and reports of an improv d spot demand checked selling and the market rallied. ruling thereafter gener- ally firm until in the middle of the after noon prices were above the high point ot yesterday with May selling at 1655 and July at 1652, net advances of 1oGI11 points. Room realizing just before the close eased the market of from the best but 1t was finally quiet. and steady net un- changed to 10 points higher. Sales were estimated at 4o0,00o bales. Trading was rathe. active right after the opening but soon became quiet with operations large ly of a professional character. The small estimates for the days receipts and for leading points tomorrow. which show that Galveston, New Orleans and Hous- ton combined hardly expect as much cot ton as the first named point received last year, naturally had a tendency to re- strict selling even for long account and as tending to influence sentiment In the same direction where claims of a better spot demand.

 NEW ORLEANS. March Io.-Liverpoo was in hesitating mood to-day far the contract department was concerned, but spots proceeded cheerfully in the upward direction under presshrs of large transactions For eign spinners who have discovered the folly of procrastinating have evidently concluded to set matters right in resolute fashion. SO that quantity and not price appears to be their object at present.
 Trading here was fairly active with the tone rather inclined to frmness in view of light receipts and prospects of astonishing dimnution In the weekly movement by com parison with last year. thus making room for bullish visible supply statement especi- ally when the liberal spot transactions abroad are taken into consideration.
 Of course, there Is the danger that these features have been excessively anticipated, but if the movement shows tendency to con- tinue dropping off at anywhere near the pres conclusion that the old season will go out the chief feature against the market is the enormous premium of contracts over spots. On the surface such condition indicates that contracts have been enhanced out of pro- portion to the trading value of spots, but there are many items. such adequate hnan- cial arrangements against all infiatons. heavy carrying charges and prospective loss in weight which contribute to the maintenance of these premiums. the burden of which the speculative buyer must assume, while waiting for the trade demand in the spot department to increase consistently.

and grinning sarcastically. 1 mean
that when an emotional woman needs
a good cry, he realizes that it will
relieve the tension. He does not
get up and rage about and kick foot
stools out of the way and say, "Oh,
for heavens sakel stop crying, or
you'll drive me to drink"
MOI He goes and pats her shoulder
soothingly and says:
There, little woman! I'm sorry
the cook has left and your new gown
hooks up crookedly. but cheer upl
Let's go out and have a jolly little
dinner, and tomorrow I'll write that
tailor letter that will make his hair
curl"
Then she looks up through her
tears and thinks how handsome and
big and strong and glorious he is,
and before the dinner is over, she has
thought up two ways in which to
economize, and SO pay for the ex-
travagance of his order to the waiter.

are expressed by Mr.. Spencer on the
right of the city to build dykes. He
says:
zone thing seems to be pretty clearly
settled by the previous decisions, and
that is that if the city goes to building
dykes, it must proceed very carefully
or it will become liable for damage
done to other property by reason of the
construction of those dykes If we
should build dykes in such way as to
throw the water back from North To-
peka, and cause it to inundate the
whole country west, it is a serious
question whether or not the city would
not be liable for damages to that pro-
perty. There are numerous important
legal points involved in the building of
dykes"
Most people would be inclined to the
opinion that any individual or any city
would have the right to build any kind
of dykes it pleases for its own protec-
ton, leaving the fellow outside of the
dykes the opportunity to do the same
thing. But Mr.. Spencer says the city
has no right to fix things SO that vag-
rant water shall cut across somebody
else's land instead of his own.
Mr.. Spencer went to Kansas City not
very long ago, and had long confer
ence with the city attorney there re-
garding the question of river encroach-
ments and possible damage suits. Kan
sas City, Kan, was at that time get
ting ready for trouble.

river has been filled in for 200 feet
on each side, narrowing the waterway
from $50 feet to $50 feet.
At Topeka there has also been a
lot Of the same sort of encroach-
menu and the city itself has been
one of the guilty parties. 1t has cut
down the river channel to about two
thirds of it's original size by the cree
erty holders have been constantly
filling in, and making new land by
dumping over the bank. The rail-
roads have followed the precedent,
and built high embankments as ap-
proaches to their bridges. cutting
down the waterway under the bridges.
Those who suffered damage at Kan
sas City, Kas-, are attempting to hold
the railways and private property
holders liable for the damage.
Not long ago the city council passed
an ordinance prohibiting any further
dumping over the river bank. This
new land" by people who are anx-
fous to increase their property.
Mr. Spencer's Investigations are be-
ing made along three lines. first, the
river; second, the liability of the city
for taking care of drainage; third. the
power of the city to change the channel
of a stream.
Il find the laws on the subject are
not very we'll drawn" says Mr.. Spen-
as the Kansas river is not very clearly
defined For instance, the bed of the
stream is supposed to be public pro-
perty, but there is nothing to show
what is meant by the bed of the
stream. The man who owns property
on a stream may claim that he has til
tie out to the low water mark of the
stream, while it may be that his title
is to high water mark. He may contend
he has the right to fill in the stream
to low water mark. These are matters
which 1 am trying to determine
The point as to the extent of the
citys liability to take care of drainage
is the one which is involved in the Root
damage suit The storm water flows by
natural drainage channels down across
Mr. Roots land, and he claims to be
damaged thereby. He says it is the
city's business to keep the water off his
land. and that it has by it's system of
grading, tended to throw the water
over on him.
