HORNED NEGRO HAD
HIS HORNS SAWED OFF
His Exhibitors Didn't Want Him to
Leave Them.

Waycross, Ga, July 20.-The young
men who recently went to st. Louis
with the horned negro they intended
to exhibit, have returned, and are
preparing for trip to Coney Island
with freak of a like nature. The
men were not allowed to exhibit their
freak in the Worlds Fair grounds, but
joined a carnival company, and gave
exhibitions for several weeks. The
negro was about to skip and join an
other show which promised a higher
salary, when his Waycross managers
decided to saw off his horns, thereby
running his chances for exhibiting as a
freak.
The dentist who gave the negro his
horns and his long teeth does not hest
tate to tell how they were prepared:
A silver plate was first fixed under the
Negroes scalp, and the horns were
screwed into the plate. They could be
put on and taken off at will, and it is
said that many physicians have ex-
amined the Negroes head and could not
tell how the horns were kept in place.
The teeth were over an inch long, and
were formerly taken from an alliga-
tor. They were fitted into the Negroes
gums.

HAYWARD, WICK & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

Norks
New York, July 20.-The situation
this morning seemed to have very
bearish average. Cables lower than
due; the European political situation
unsettled; crop accounts favorable and
the weather about all that could be
desired. But once more moderate de-
clines attracted profit taking by small
er shorts, and this buying in a quiet
market was enough to check the de-
clines and bring about complete re-
covery. 1t was rumored that the
British steamer whose seizure by Rus
STA caused so much uneasiness abroad
had been released; Liverpool after the
local opening rallied partly on this,
and there was a continued absence of
offerings from Southern sources which
was the feature of trading a few
weeks ago. Receipts were large COM
pared with last year. On the other
hand spot sales are running heavier
and stocks at all points decreasing,
the New York warehouse stocks being
down to the smallest figures in -four
years.
The whole thing of it is that peo-
pie are too bearish on the crop out
look to buy in a general way
and are too apprehensive that some
thing will happen to the crop to SELL
but let this weather continue for an
other week or so and lower prices
would seem inevitable, particularly il
the new crop by that time is begin
ming to move. For the immediate flu
ture it is likely to be nothing more
than a scalping market, barring bad
crop news.

New York. July 2O.-There was no
change noticeable in the market to-
day, just the same steady, resisting
undertone. and the same steady buy
ing of cotton by those, who regard
discretion as the better part of valor.
If the market wont go down under
perfect conditions, why It's likely to
so up with any change. Thus far
there is no change in sight. Weather
is simply perfect, but will IL con-
tinue so? If YOU will turn back to
1898, one the two record crops you will
find the condition went off II points
in August. We always get damage
talk in August. II may not be so
this year, but ii always has been in
the past. Now its an open question
whether with the market: heavily
short prices can be kept down, when
the crop reports become less glowing
II may be, Of course, that new cotton
Will move so freely that prices will
not hold. But as yet there are no
signs OF this. Rather the tone seems
TO get stronger as the month pro-
crosses. Here October ran up TO 3 .6Oc

PRICES DROP AGAIN
LIGHT DEMAND CAUSES BOTH

With but a very limited demand for
either spirits or resins, the markets
for those commodities went lower again
yesterday. Spirits opened firm at 53Ac
to 53l2c. with sales of 391 casks. and
closed firm at the inside price, with
additional sales of ass casks. All the
afternoon receipts were taken at the
closing figure, so that the market is
in good shape so soon as the demand
shall increase. The receipts of the day
were 952 casks, and the exports. 100
The New York market was quoted
quiet at 81 cents. London was quoted
at 1-16Q4A.
Resins opened firm, at decline of
212c on upper grades and sc on lower
grades, compared with the closing
prices of the day before. Sales We're
2,31l. The close was steady, and un-
changed, with no further sales. In
the late trading there was only a
small demand, comparatively, and such
sales as were made were at a decline
of DC along the entire list of grades

The cotton market yesterday was in
pretty good shape despite the good
crop reports, and though in the futures
rings the opening was several points
lower than the close of the previous
day these losses were made up later
and prices rose to a point that at the
close left the markets generally from
point down to points up. In spots
Liverpool went off 20 points. New York
reported an advance of points, and
Savannah and New Orleans We're I'M

Little business was done in the local
market. There was an absence of any
demand to speak of for spots and only
IL bales were reported sold. In the f. o.
b. department the chief business is now
being done in cotton for fall delivery.
The market was quoted at INC for i'm
