COTTON MARKET
 IS SMALL AFFAIR New Orleans However Shows
 Strong Undertone WAS TYPICAL SATURDAY coterie of Bears Displayed Some Az eressiveness, Showing Desire to
 Send Prices Down for
 Wide Decline.

New Orleans, March 5.-The cotton mar ket was rather small affair today but it showed strong undertone that caused prices to close l2 to 1S points higher in May and July than the close of yesterday after some hamering by bears, and li- quidation by longs had been indulged in. It was a typical Saturday market and there were few traders who cared to put out lines in either direction over Sun day.
 A coterie of bears, however, displayed some aggressveness and it was their evil dent desire to send prices down for a wide decline, so that Liverpool might be intlu- enced Monday morning. The longs di- vined the intent of this clique, and offer ed just enough support to absorb all of ferings. and to send prices up for a mod crate advance.
 Market Opens Steady
 The market opened steady and from ' points lower to points higher than the close of yesterday. Liverpool was called disappointing, so far as futures were con cerned, and this had its effect until well into the morning. The movement at the ports was so extremely light and statis- tics Tn general so bullish when closely read. that the weaker shorts grew nervous at the Idea of remaining uncovered over Sunday especially as estimated receipts for Monday were wonderfully small, This caused some buying and the longs added enough orders to cause a slight furry at the close which was the most excited part of the short Saturday ses- sion. The most noticeable feature of the day, so far as prices were concerned, was the narowness of fluctuations.
 Made scalpers' Paradise. While all the week fluctuations were so rapid and wide as to make a scalpers paradise, they were too narrow today to give the scalper much of any profit. They were frequent enough. but they show a stubbornness to bring depressed to any extent. The close was within and 3 points of the highest levels of the day
 The spot market was quiet and prices were unchanged Buyers were out with good demand. but they expected lower prices today which factors refused to grant Sales amounted to 1900 bales.

The TaIIest Cathedral.

From the St. James Gazette.
 The most remarkable and striking fea- ture-of the new Liverpool Cathedral will be the height of the vaulting of the nave and choir--measured in the barrel vault ing, 116 feet. and into the high transepts. 14O feet-which cannot fail to produce a very magnificent effect. No cathedral in the country approaches It's height. The nearest is Westminster. the nave of which has a height of 102 feet. while York measures 30 feet; then Salisbury s4 and Lincoln s2.

 Nassau with it's gorgeous climate Is quite popular with Americans who make the southern circuit in the season. "lsles of June'' indeed s an appropriate name for the Bahamas. The houses are built with the over-hanglng pia2zas and lat ticed windows common to Spain and Spanish St. Augustine. The governor is appointed by the Crown, and the white residents are for the most part descen- dants of English colonial families. 80 there Is always a spirit of hospitality.

for monarchs. Railways officials co rot
seem to consider this a reflection on
their own methods for safeguarding the
public. They know. however. that if
any of the royal party should be injured
when travelling on any special line that
that particular line would "see its fin
ish," so far as the British travelling pub
lie is concerned.
Each portion Of the line on which the
king travels is guarded from section to
section by railroad men with flsg5. They
direct the movement of the train. There
are two signalmen to every quarter of a
mile. For instance, in signaling the
train from Folkestone to London up
ward of 3S8 men sre required.
When his majesty is about to travel
the railway station is cleared of all or
binary passengers. ard only a favored
few are allowed on the platform. Just
before the royal carriage drives up q
roll Of crimson velvet carpet is carefully
laid along the platform between the
kings carriage and the train.
Usually the kings carriage Is pre-
ceded by a few outriders-men ON horse
back who clear the way-and not infre-
quently by a small body of cavalry, the
horse guards being the favored regi-
ment. as the king himself is a colonel
in that regiment.
Railway officials line the platform
and make a low bow as his majesty
passes by en- route to his carriage.
Usually, the president of the road-oi

Ensland-accompaniesth king; though
of course. in a separate carriage. II

dent in England to ride In the game con

Mr.. HowELL's POSITION.

1t is hard to sec how the Democrats
are going to make any political CAPT
tai ont OF Congressman Howell's part
in the post office investigation. Ii
seems he is the owner of the building
in which the SoutE AmpoJ post office
is situated. Mr.. Howell wrote to the
post Office authorities suggesting that
he thought the building was worth
$25 per month. He was then getting
but $40 per month for it. Everyone
knows that South Amboy's post office
is admirably located in q brick build
ing in the heart of the business Sec
tion of the borough and it is safe to
say any merchant would be glad to
pet the building for $25 a month rent.
MIR. Howell does not ask as much as
the average property owner would for
tine sftg anu at SO Il month the govern
ment is getting decidedly the best of
the bargain. Making the Bristow re-
port public has made Mr.. Howell more
solid with his constituents than ever.

THE ROsECUToRsHIP.

The best class of citizens, whether
Democrats or Republicans, are shocked
at the possibility OF George Berdine
being appointed prosecutor. At first
the report that he had any show at all
was not taken seriously, but is seems
all too true and Theodore Strong had
instructed Senator jackson to back
him. Berdine has done some work
for Strong and as long rs Strong
wants to reward him, the Republican
party and the respectable people of
Middlesex can go fish. We look to
the Governor to give us the best in
tho Middlesex bar for prosecutor.
Strong wants to pay his political debts,
let it not be at the expense OF the
people. There are plenty first class
men to choose from without going
among the doubtful ones. The only
dirty mud singing III this city during
the whole campaign last fall WAS by
George Berdine. The best people,
regardless of party, protest against
his appointment.

WHEN KING EDWARD TRAVELS
of Railway OMciu1s Are
Upon His Train.

Royalty on the railroad presents to
the busy American some very amusing
aspects. Every time King Edward goes
from n part of England to another
the mercantile community Of Great
Britain loses something like $4,000.
This is due to the fact that English
railway officials use most %extraordi-
nary methods in safeguarding royal
trains. says a London report.
Even in performing so simple a jour
ney as going from Windsor to London
"a distance of about % miles-trafic
is suspended for hours when the king
travels that way. .
On longer journeys the loss to bust
ness houses along the Sine of royal
route is something When
the king last journeyed from Scotland
to london it was estimated that the
direct loss to tradesmen was something
like $4,000 on account of the tying up
Of traffic and delay to perishable goods.
When King Edward travels along a
certain line all passenger and freight
trafic-even including the fast express
service-is suspended. Most elaborate
precautions of every description are
taken to insure royal safety. For in
stance, for every 10 minutes before the
departure of the royal train from any
sfation all trains are held up, and or
Einary traffic is not resumed for Is

USING AMERICAN HORSES.
Animals from the United States Being
introduced Into French Cav
airy Service.

Numerous inquiries have been made
at this Office by Americans concerning
the demands for horses from the
United States, and several horse deal
ers have requested information on this
subject.
Limoges is the headquarters of the
Twelfth Army corps, and the horses
of the light and heavy cavalry need
renewing constantly, as the life of an
army horse is only five years of active
service.
A number of American horses have
been introduced into France for cav
airy service; some have not given sat
isfaction, because they were pressed
into service before they had become
acclimated. 1t usually takes a for
cign horse the best part of a year in
France to get into good condition, es-
pecialiy if he ome from the western
plains without being trained.
This business could be greatly de-
veloped by intelligent painstaking eff
forts. The particular requirements Of
the French market should be followed,
such as the height, weight, etc. French
horse breeders are exporting many
horses to Russia for her army, and
horses are consumed as food In all EN-
ropean countries. This branch of tie
trade IS very remuncrative all over
the republic.
