 From the action of the market the last few days, cotton is lively sort of com modity and one where speculator has got to take a lot of risk whether he buys or sells.
 The break of 100 points has been fol- lowed by a rise of GO points and every one is wondering whether the market Is going on to a new high level or is mere ly getting ready for another break. The trade Is now on large scale and In or der to make money 1t is necessary to know whether the big fellows are buying or selling. There Is no use in ignoring the fact that several large operators are now practically in control of prices and 1t will require some sort of head-on col lision to bring the market to stand still.
 for several days, but the condition of the crop is not good enough to prevent rising prices when the larger interests buy.
 We had rather work on the theory that 11A cents was top for while than to 20 on the belief that 12 cents is the next point in view. Of course we can have an- other wild market at any time. They say the government may have new June report issued If this should be done, ev- erything would be all at sixes and sevens. Nobody will know where he Is. It Is very dangerous market and one where traders must catch swings by go- ing with the tide while it's running.

smoIIen d Co.'s Market Letter.

The stock market was very active dur ing the early morning session with prices generally higher. Big steel was the most prominent among the iron shares and sold up to 102s4. Republic preferred gain ed point, while Sloss and Tennessee Coal and Iron rallied Ia per cent. Union Pac- fife gained about 1 and Louisville and Nashville s4. The buying of Union Pacific was considered very good but we are of the opinion that it should be sold at the present high level. Virginia Chem part of the session, big lot of liquida- ton was going on causing the price to sell off 1ks per cent. very prominent Wall street house was credited with the buying of all the stock offered down. We favor the purchase of this stock on the opening in the morning for point rally.

II has been said that Henry Clay
achieved success so easily that lie
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
lie had to do. In "The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance of
this
At fourteen Henry became clerk in
a store in Richmond, whittier the fam
lily had removed. Stories are told Of
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproyed by the store
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again it was explained that using this
sort Of Irvine might be offensive to the
customers. as it made the packages
look untidy by reason of too many
knots SO he consulted with "A sailor
Mt Richmond, who showed him how to
splice strings with smooth joint.
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces of Irvine Of
the same size into a continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this he
was so much pleased that he had all
Irvine saved and turned the task Of
splicing It over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enthu-
siasm rapidly abated.

A SWIMMING HORSE.
The Proper Way 10 Ride the Animal
In the water.

The Proper Way to Ride the Animal
In the water.
\ military Journal of Paris gives this
account of the way "A horse should not
he ridden and of the way he should be
ridden IN swimming n stream:
To begin with, It must not be sup
posed that "A horse always swims nat
urally aud with ease the moment he Is
off his feet in the water, The animal
under such circumstances has but one
notion to keep his head out of the wa
ter and TO lift his shoulders rs high as
possible.
In doing this his hind quarters sink,
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail, or at least in position
three-quartcrs erect
In such position, If the rider draws
upon the rens or throws his body back
I'm the least, the animals hind quarters
will sink more and more, his body will
take II vertical position, and, beating
the water uselcssly with his forefeet
he viii finally sink.
As soon as the horse gets off his feet
in the water let the rider grasp hand
full Of the animals name, leaning at
the same time well forward upon his
shoulders, but without touching the
horses head. The riders knees should
be pressed tightly to the horses sides;
otherwise he is likely to be swept off
by the vatcr
This Is the only position which will
enable n man to remain In the saddle
aud The horse TO swim Mt the same
time.
