c. E. PIERCE 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire rom Gioert N Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS, April 29.-Some of the old featuses were revived in the cotton market to-day. but the level of price un- derwent no material change. Good Man chester business was again referred to. and unreasonable weather in the belt occasion ed additional complaints of replanting. but free circulation Of May notices in New York met with reluctant acceptance and Liverpool was inclined to display an un- favorable attitude.
 The trading here was trifle larger for both sides of the account. Room traders as a rule operated against the market under the belief that spinners are not urgently in need of cotton and will continue to hold off from active purchases while few days of warmer weather will cause present crop complaints to be forgotten. Support was rendered by others. however. who were not satisfied with the start of the plant and are of the opinion that spinners will soon be compelled to buy more freely. At any rate 1t Is clear that resistance of some importance exists around the basis of I4 cents for July here and the fact that port stocks are being diminished by liberal exports is not likely to impair this power of resistance, The nature of current demand for spots will govern the immediate range Of prices, but all eyes are centred on the new crop. for without an early movement the available supply will be drawn down to the danger point and bulls will have another advantageous opportunity to exer- else their feelings.

Caldwell. Ward 6 Cos MarEs. Letter.

NEW YORK, April ee.-The first notice day for May which has been rather a off in what might be called a satisfactory way. Information points to notices for about IS. 900 bales having been circulated and practically all stopped. Offerings in New Orleans were absorbed and the market at the close tonight shows a better tone than for some days. There is talk of i'm provement in demand from American spin ners some buIlish New Orleans wires and covering of nervous shorts. The advance in the price of silver. 1t is claimed. will re- vive Chinese business and there is a feeling that Liverpool will do better tomorrow
 Some talk of too cool weather over the belt is strengthening the new crop options and any material advance Is likely to catch a number of stop, orders as the offerings, particularly for October, are quite small a decided advance would not be surprising

No disposition is shown to enter into fresh Engagements in the sum- mer months, as 1t Is feared the strength of the statistical-position and possible manipu- 1ation will make them too hazardous to have any interest. Owing to this fear the new crop months are becoming active.

DOG WATCHES.

-Four Different Theories as 60 the
Origin of the Term.
Four distinct explanations have been
given OF the origin OF the term -dog
watch" One, which commands Itself
as probable in the mouth Of a sailor,
Is that it Is really the dodge" watches,
two short watches from to 6 and
from G to 8. introduced so that the
crews may get a continual change Of
hours Of duty and each man have only
his fair share in the small hours of the
morning.
Others maintain that the dog watches
take their title from the fact that they
are short and ftful in character. so
that the phrase is akin to a dog sleep.
Admiral Boys, in a lecture at the
United Service institution In London
in 1880, remarked that he believed dog
watches are so called because dogs are
at times employed on shipboard, as in
the army, for keeping watch as scouts
or sentinels.
Others connect It with the Scandi-
navian dagmalastad, day watch, cor
rupted into dog.
Theodore Hook wittily explained dog
watches to be watches that are cur
tailed.-London Standard.

Eldest Sons Not Allowed 20 Marry
Eldest Daughters In Japan.

Eldest Sons Not Allowed TO Marry
Eldest Daughters In Japan.
According to old and established Gus
tom in Japan. the eldest child, whether
male or female, must under all circum-
stances abide at and inherit the home.
By this means a continuous succession
Is assured. and the estates cannot pass
into the hands Of strangers.
From this arrangement It follows OF
necessity that no eldest child can mar
~ and live with an eldest child Of the
opposite sex. When an heiress weds,
her husband must assume the family
name.
A similar custom prevails in certain
families among the people OF the
Basque provinces, in the north of
Spain. An eldest son among them is
not allowed TO marry an eldest daugh-
ter IL both are arstborn.
In this case, too, the husband Of any
eldest daughter takes up his residence
under his wife's roof and adopts her
name, which is thus transmitted to
their children.

Of types of birds and animals Sir John

male bird has a bill, stout and strong.
adapted 20 cutting and digging into the
tree, but he is deficient in that horny
pointed tongue which would permit
him to pierce the grub and draw it

elongated and straight bill, "and when
the cock has dug down to the burrow
the hen inserts her long bill and draws
out the grub, which they divide be-
tween them--a very pretty illustration
OF the wife as a helpmate to the hus-

The ways Of the dealer IN antiques
are too often as dark as those OF the

very hard to get the best OF a really
wideawake member OF the trade. A
certain dealer in London, having a
number Of alleged Chippendale chairs
for sale. approached a well known no
bleman and succeeded In selling the set
for $1,000 to the latter. Later on the
purchaser. being Informed that the
chairs were faxed" wrote to the
dealer and demanded his money back.
The willy dealer wrote back a hurt
and offended letter TO his patron, pro-
testing that his honesty had been i'm
pugned, but to show his good faith he
would be willing to pay 1000 guineas
to get the chairs back SO It was done,
and within a very few hours the noble
mans receipt for that amount was be-
ing held under the nose of an Amer
lean millionaire as proof that the
chairs had been bought from that well
