Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By H. and E. Beer.
 New Orleans February 25.-Notwith standing Liverpool was not encouraging. our market opened 1 to points higher, and subsequently, advanced "A to 2S on March notices being stopped. Later in the session the anticipation of bearish vis.- ible supply statement and lack of sup porting orders, oecasioned realizing, which brought out stop orders, causing break of fl to 43 from the top. Near the close shorts covering and fresh buying, super induced an advance of 19 to 20 from the bottom, making the net gain to points on the day. The amount brought into sight for the week is estimated at 130,000 as compared to 166,000 last year. While the movement figures are bullish, it is an- ticipated that the visible supply statement will be bearish, as the decrease in Ameri- can for the corresponding week last year was 124000. u Is expected, therefore, that the decrease in American this year will be considerably less, owing to the lack of export demand for spots. Nevertheless the local spot sales were 430O at ls off, and it Is claimed that the southern and eastern spinners were good buyers of spots in the interior today. Liverpool cables say that the market feels the in- f1uence of manipulation, and it is believed bv many there that the decline is only temporary. If the crop is as short as in- dicated famine prices are expected early in the summer on the question of sup ply and demand alone. As an offset to Eu ropean financial troubles brought about by the war in the far east and Balkan troubles those favoring the article state that we will soon compare with heavy March movement, and It must not be forgotten that the census bureau will is- sue an estimate of the crop about March 15, which is generally believed will~not aggregate over 1oooo'ooo bales. There IS no doubt that technically the market is in healthier position, in consequence of the elimination of the speculative long in- terest. and barring international eompli- cations and further financial failures fin Europe the chances are any encouraging feature will have tendency to maintain or enhance values.

Earthouake Forms New Lake.

A remarkable phenomenon is re-
ported from the Russian rural COM
mune of Schaya, in the government of
Ezareff KOksaka. Inexplicable sounds
were heard for several days issuing
from the earth. The sounds varied
from something like the booming of
cannon to the screeching of steam
whistles, and seemed to come from
forest skirting the commune. In this
forest. where the terrified peasantTy
gathered in expectation of some cal
amity, the earth was seen to heave in
cessantly. Gradually huge cracks APP
peared and water was seen. AT last
the earth seemed gradually to sink,
water rose and there appeared a new
lake of considerable extent, which is
now being examined by biologists.

Depression of the nervous system at

General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tons, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss
of sleep. Peruna meets every indica-
ton and proves itself to be perfectly

ties. PerunR invigorates the system,
rejuvenates the feelings, restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect Of
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken.
Thousands are dairy testifying TO its
priceless benefit.

happy to give my endorsement for

work, and felt better than l have for
years. ! take 1t now twice a year and
find that it keeps me in perfect
health" Mrs Kassatt was for over
ten years the manager of a plant fur

hundreds of women.

Clever Western Cattle.

Western cattle raisers have noticed
in recent years a wonderful illustra-
ton of animal intelligence and in.
stinct. The cattle of former days
we're of the long-horned kind, and
when a herd was threatened with an
attack by wolves the calves were
placed in the middle of the bunch
and the older ones formed themselves
into a circle, all facing outward. Now
that the cattle are mostly hornless
they place the calves in the middle,
as in old times, but face inward them
selves, thus presenting their hoofs to
the wolves.

Fashions Changes Recorded by Brit.
ish Observer.
Ten years, says a British chronicler
OF bibulous fancies, have warped the
palates of the connoisseurs in strong
drinks. The beverages that gave our
fathers govt have been supplanted-
some of them even forgotten.
Champagne has come to- be almost
common, drink not only for the great
dinner, but nowadays quaffed at lun-
cheons by people who, in the old days.
would have considered so expensive
wine as hardly meet on all occasions.
Brandy and soda, after a relapse. is
rising into favor anew and threatens
to drive whisky and soda into a back
seat, while the once tabooed sherry
undoubtedly is becoming a favoTite.
Not many years ago creme de
menthe was the fashionable liquor, but
it has had its day, and now bran
dies, especially cherry brandy, are
deemed the proper thing after dinner.
Beer seldom is seen in stylish circles,
being reserved for family parties,
although the noble head of some
great brewing houses still persist in
serving tiny tumblers OF strong ale
or special brew to their dinner guests.

tie Favorlte Roost IL on the Top Of a
Large Clock.
Perhaps one of the oldest pets in
Albany Is a full.grown owl owned by
William Hill Of 81 Washington ave.
nue.. Mr.. Hill has a farm in The vicin.
ity of Greenbush Heights. and last fall
while gathering the apples from his
orchard he captured the owl and
brought It home with him.
An owl, when captured, after attain
ing its full growth, is considered one
of the hardest birds in the world to
keep alive in captivity Yet Mr.. Hills
owl has never shown any signs of pin
ing. It's favorite roost is on the top
of a large clock in Mr.. Hills place of
business, where 1t perches for hours
at q time, like Poe's raven on the mar
BILE bust Of Pallas. On this account It
has been christened "Owl Father
Time" Three or four times during
the day It will fly around the room.
Mr.. Hill believes that owls can see
much better in the daytime than most
persons suppose for mis- bird has no
trouble in making the circuit of the
room without colliding with ANYTHING.
Moreover. when a piece of fish is left
on a bench the owl promptly flies to II
and devours It. At other times when
hungry the owl will leave mis- perch on
the clock, fly down to the foot and
take his station within about two feet
OF his master, where he will cock his
head first on one side and then on the
other in the most comical manner.
When he is given something to eat
he promptly returns to his perch on
tho clock.--Albany Press.

Cloves are probably the greatest
speculative article in the spice trade
and have been SO for many hundreds
of years, because they have always
come from small and restricted areas
of cultivation, and have been used as
tribute, almost taking the place of
money in ancient times. They have
been mostly grown on the two small
islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, on
