to horses in order to increase their pluck. and there are numerous cases in which they have acquired too great a liking for intoxicants. An extraordinary instance occurred in 1899. A well known horse, which had gained an unenviable reputa- tion for ''faint-heartedness, was always dosed with a good deal of whiskey be- fore taking part in a race, in ordeEf to imbue him with greater courage. At Lewes, where he was running at the au- tumn meeting. he duly received his usual ..pick-me-up." but 1t was remarked by several people that he looked strangely sleepy on leaving the paddock.
 On the way to the post his jockey treated him to a liberal application of whip and spur, in order to get him 10 canter; but every effort proved of no avail, for the animal refused to so fasier than a walk, and after travelling at this pace for a short distance, stopped alto gether, and, leaning up against the rail- ing, quietly dozed of to sleep. A by- stander, noticing the "disguised' ani- malls attitude, remarked to the jockey {: "If did my duty, gov'nor, should give that horse in charge for being intoxicat- ed and incapable"

 Dogs.
 The dog is generally considered the most temperate of animals; but one or London's leading vets states that he has had under his charge many four-leg5ed patients which have shown a great ilk- ing for strong drink, On one occasion a Skye terrier was sent to him to be cured of a bad attack of distemper. For some days the poor animal was so i'll that it's life was almost despaired of. and 1t had to be treated with doses of port wine three or four times an hour. This physic undoubtedly saved the terriers life. but ever afterward this curious dog evincsi a most extraordinary partiality to port wine, and when sent home its master discovered that he was the owner of a perfect kleptomaniac. Whenever port wine was put on the table the dog would sit up and beg. whining and doing all it could to draw attention to the fact that it was thirsty
 Wasps.
 In hot weather it IS quite a common slgnt to see number of intoxicated wasps lying here and there around jan pot partly filled with beer, which proves a never-failing trap" for these insects, who buzz around the pot until they fin- ally decide to sample it's contents, with the result that they become insensible at once.

virgin . Fauncs's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, March s.-There was c moder- ate trade in the cotton future market to-day. The general conditions were not essentially changed. The bears were disposed to make capital out of the least bullish week and sta- tistics. but the bulls were confident in the be- lief that later on the figures will be abso- lutely in their favor. The advices from the Interior regarding cotton stocks were builish and the spot markets were steady under fair demand and moderate offerings The foreign advices were about as expected aHd the for- eign houses had few orders of consequence: although 1t was evident that the English crowd was rather bullishly inclined. The receipts were moderate to-day. but there were mixed expressions regarding the prospective move ment for the ensuing week The conservative interests in the pit were disposed to look for a traders market for the forthcoming week, since 1t was pointed out that there are num- Der of good traders on both sides of the ac- count On the little dips, however. the bull ish interests to-day continued to buy cotton quite freely and 1t is believed that they have accumulated quite a line of July. The port estimates for to-day were 5000. against 2O- 3e0 for the same day last year.

GHICAiO, March 0.-An interruption or the long standing drouth in Kansas and Ok ahoma caused wheat to weaken to-day, the May delivery closing $ on. July was down A4%. May corn h4h higher oats unchanged and provisions l6G25c higher. A reflex eff feet of the Ohio crop report was keenly felt at the opening in wheat an advance at Liv- erpool being credited largely to the Ohio report. The pit crowd was quite bullsh and bought freely. The general demand caused an initial advance in May % to lc. A cablegram from Odessa predicting a euftail- ment of crops owing to a reduction fin acre age due to the war was another source of strength. The principal trading was in July. Some of the longs In May took profits early and caused decline. but shorts were active buyers and it quickly rallied to s9& July sold up to 93h Additional realizing occurred the advance and when rain was reported in Kansas and other sections of the winter wheat belt. selling became brisk and the market was poorly supported. May declining to e6h and July to sIA May closed weak at s6N and July at e29e2h. ciearances equaled i60. 200 bushels. Primary receipts were 545.2oo bushels. against 4I3,6oo bush els a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported 344 cars. against S2f last week and SIS a year ago.
 Strength in wheat and an active demand from a prominent provision interest caused a firm corn market early. There was very little corn for sale until May advanced nearly a cent above yesterday's close. Offerings then became rather free and prices eased off. Commission house selling due to the late weak ness in wheat caused an additional decline

 Early in the session an impression pre- vailed among traders in oats that the biz long in May was accumulating c line of July. The pit crowd was inclined to follow this buying and the result was a strong market with both May and July showing gains. Quite general selling developed late. The tone at the close was easier, After opening N6M higher at 4lsk to 4I% May ranged be- tween 4lK and 4l%, closing at 4fN. R G. ceipts. 272 cars.
 A small run of hogs with higher prices gave provisions a strong start and the early strength was we'll maintained throughout the day. There was a big general trade.

c. E. Pierce & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire from Gilbert Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS. March 5.--A very satis- factory half days business again resulted in the spot department, with sales 5000 bales at unchanged quotations in Liverpool. al- though the variations in futures were not cal- eulated to cheer bulls. In fact. outside of the happenings in the raw material In Liv- erpooI there is nothing In the situation to cause renewde bull activity. Spots on this side are apathetic and American spinners re- main uninterested: the visible supply figures are susceptible of various constructions, the most bearish feature being the decreased mills takings as compared with last season. result ing in the lack of snap to be noticed in the markets of the raw material on this side. the international markets are all out of gear Liv- erpool futures being at a discount, May New York above New Orleans, with the July op- tion just the reverse. and the difference be- tween May New Orleans and May-June Liv- erpool in the neighborhood of 36 American points, all of which spells manipulation pure and simple, and while this condition obtains opinions to the immediate course of prices are of little value. Variations here through out the day were on a comparatively small scale and business decidedly limited. the mar ket acts as though it was tired and manipu- lation in New York furnished the main incen- tive for any variations at all. in fact, with any withdrawals of support the market has every appearance of being in for decline, even though temporary.

HEARST PEOPLE BARRED
IN THE FIRST DISTRICT

Harmony prevailed unretarded at the
caucus of delegates from the First district,
which was held in Room As. because the
Hearstites were barred.
For a time it appeared that the Hearst
people would show a formidable front, but
the Parker men held the cards and played
them with no conscientious scruples. Only
about five Hearst men succeeded in getting
into the meeting. Many others applied
for admttance but they did not present
the regular ticket. and were turned down
ker button. Most of the Hearst henchmen
presented an order slip as admttance
card, but it was not recognized. Several
inclined to protest, but the stolid
front of the Parker men seemed impene-
trable, and the Hearst element faded away
by the time the meeting was called to
order
John w. Spencer was made chairman Of
the meeting. A committee was appointed
to draft a slate, and while it doing
this Henry Kreamer, of Spencer county,
made short speech in which he advocated
harmony in the settlement of the conten-
tion arising from the election of two sets
of delegates from Nanderburg county. He
proposed as the best way of getting around
the impending tempest the exclusion of
both sets of delegates. He then dwelt on
the contest which is on between Parker
and Hearst and admonished the delegates
to work for votes for Parker. After the
district slate had been adopted resolu-
ton was presented and adopted to the eff
feet that the member from the First dis
trict on the committee resolutions be
instructed to indorse all resolutions in
structing for Parker.
