ANIMALS AND SCENT.
One of the Miracles of Nature That
Is Past Understanding.
>ae of the most Interesting of all the


>ae of the most Interesting of all the
4acles Of nature is scent as applied
TO animals. The subject is neither UNI
derstood nor eEplainable. Whether it
Is d sixth ee5&:e o. Il marvellous sdevel-
lOpment OF ore Of the i've is uncertain.
Quite likely. however. it has very little
tEelafion to that sense which we know
=as smell.
To the sportsman the quality of scent
LIS extremely important When the air
is dry and the ground hard there is lit
tie scent. When the wind is north or
east scent is either largely wanting or
does not readily diffuse itself. A
soathegly wind without rain and a
westerly wind if not too rough. are
most favorable to it. OF course if the
wind is strong it blows the ss,slt away,
and severe storms entirely destroy it.
II is very difficult for Il dog to follow
8 scent just after a shower, and it is
dispersed by the hot sun as well as
by The storm. 1t is a fact also that
scent comes as much from an animals
body rs from its feet.
There is 40 time that dog will fol
low a scent better than when the track
IS made upon white frost. Z If the frost
IS thick over the track. of course the
scent is buried. but as soon as it be-
gins to disappear the dog follows it
easily! During thaws or melting snow
Scent seems to dissipate rapidly Sled
paths, swamp bottoms, dry wood and
Ice are all bad for holding or preserv-
3ng scent, and SO are sandy places and
OF course plowed fields when the feet
sink ia so deep that the earth is likely
20 fall over them.
Another peculiar thing about scent
is that it genelRly ceases as soon as
the animal is dead This, at any rate.
IS the clailA, and, for that matter, al
most all knowledge concerning scent is
merely made by observation and is
rather unscientific, or at least liable to
be erroneous. 1t is. claimed also that
sture often protects animals in the
<sding season. so that they give out
~Jut little scent. For illustration, the
coon gives no scent from spring until
about the middle of August. when the
young begin to take care of themselves,
and their scent increases with their
age and size. Both the rabbit and the
coon have very little scent, but the fox,
deer, moose and elk give out strong
scent and can be followed by dog
long after the track is fresh. Birds
give but little scent, and it has been
claimed that quail close their feathers
closely when the dog is near and. thus
destroy their scent altogether.
Whether scent as we understand it
as applied to animals is the same quail
ity that human beings possess in smell
ing a flower is uncertain Just how a
dog, for illustration, can distinguish
the track Of his master from that Of
some one else CT from a score of others
perhaps hours after the track has been
made is simply one Of those marvellous
miracles that are as incomprehensible
as eternity or Iimitless space. -Amateur

EXCITING DAY IN
COTTON MARKET
Prices Were Up from the
Opening
SHORTS BUY FEVERISHLY
In the Late Trading the Market Was
Very Firm on Support From
Lower Wall Street
Brokers.
SHORTS BUY FEVERISHLY

New York, April 2S-The cotton market
was active and excited. The opening was
strong at an advance of to 10 points,
with shorts active buyers owing to
strong advanced Liverpool market; fears
that May notices would be promptly
stopped and private estimates placing the
probably reduction in cotton acreage at
about IA per cent. Inside of thirty minutes
after the opening. the general list was
about Is to 10 points net higher, when
selling promoted by the unsatisfactory
condition of affairs in Wall streets cir
cles caused or 6 per cent reaction. On
the decline nearby shorts bought feverish-
ly and prices soon started upward again
with May In the middle of the morning
selling at 7.37 or 20 points over last night s
finals. Notices were still circulating, how
ever, and at the second advance there was
scattering liquidation by commission
houses, which, with a temorary with
drawal of bull support eased the mar
ket off some 10 to II points from the
best But 1t was reported in the after
noon that notices had been stopped by
Philadelphia spot interests. and the mar
ket in the late trading was very firm on
support from lower Wall street brokers'
The close was steady within a couple of
points of the best at a net advance OF ~
to 26 points.
Sales of futures were estimated at half
a million bales. The weather south was
good, but receipts ran a little smaller
and southern spot markets were un-
changed to 1sc higher.
Receipts at the ports today 2l,5O9 against
27,715 last week and 1922 last year. For
the week (estimated) $4,000 against IT,
5S5 last week, and ii. 1903 last year. Today

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 2S.-Spot cotton in
good demand but desirable grades are
very scarce and factors do not seem to
be anxious to put out fresh lines. Inf1u-
enced by the improvement in New York
,and an advance of ten English points In
Liverpool, the local market advanced &c
with sales of 340O bales including 1850
to arrive
Futures opened steady at an advance OF
10 to IA points in response to the upward
turn in Liverpool, the advance there be-
ing attributed to heavy buying on Amer
lean account. Prominent local operators
stopped notices for $4,000 bales in New
York and the opinion seems to be gaining
adherents that a strong bull movement
is on In the trading the trend of prices
was distinctly upward and the movement
comparatively heavy. The market closed
firm within a point or two of the top.
Net gains of q to 25 points. the more

snolIen g. co... Market Letter.

The cotton market opened strong. with
old positions to points higher and new
crop months IA to Is points higher on a
flood of bull news chief of which was sur
prisingly strong cables, due to American
buying and to Theodore Prices report.
which was construed abroad as bullish.
After this came estimate, noting decrease
of 14.7 in acreage and of 20 per cent In
use of fertilizers.
Covering orders at the start were heavy,
some houses taking big blocks. of May
and July, with one broker big buyer
of May. Houses with. private wires did
large business. especially after the open
ing. when orders poured in from quar-
ters that had just learned of sharp rise
in the English market. This demand sus-
tanned prices around the opening, in face
of violent selling by bears in an effort
to stay upturn. Notices of 25,000 to 1000
bales were expected. but they had no
more effect than did fine weather through
out the south Intosight for the week Is
now estimated at $4,000 to 100000 bales
against 1857 and 67,251 last year. New

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The appearing in public print OF a bull
ish review on the situation of cotton by
an ex-boar operator with large Wall
street client, and big following in the
south. wherein it was estimated that the
reduction on acreage would probably be
14.2 per cent, when compared with the
area devoted to the raising of the staple
last year, served to cause continual
ton OF covering by shorts In all markets
of the world today. 1t is rather prema-
ture for one to estimate the probable re-
duction in acreage at so early a date in
the season. for while great deal OF the
seed has been sown in the southern naii
of Texas and In sections of the east gulf
and south Atlantic states, there remains a
vast area in the northwestern portion OF
the belt north Texas, the territories ana
Arkansas, and in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, where blowing has only commenced
For the same reason the talk OF reduc-
ton of 20 per cent In the use OF fertilizer
is little too previous.

Ware e. leIand's Market Letter.

New York April &.-There were enough
bear factors In the air this week to break
almost any market.
Not since the beginning % the year and
the final end of the bear movement has
there been anything as discouraging as
the market this week Everything seemed
to operate against the long side, and as
a result traders became indifferent to the
market, which has been against prices
throughout the season.
1t would take pages to enumerate the
discouraging features that came to the
front as July worked through TIC, but
the main obstacles in the way OF buying
were the apprehension In financial circles
over DEVELOPMENTS in this country as well
as abroad, uncertainty over the acreage
question, free selling on the part OF
southern holders, and so lilrle outside
speculation that professional bear opera
tors had everything their own way.
The market slowly declined and 1t
seemed as though 1t would be compare
lively simple matter to drive July through
&c.
The bear clique took the matter In hand
and succeeded In forcing July to 7.V. 1t
was then found that orders for at least
5000 bales were in the market at this
figure, and no one dared attempt so large
a contract as this.
They started to cover. ran the market
through 7.15, when another effort was
made to bring about break.
Anywhere from 5000 to 5000 bales OF
cotton was poured on the market from 40
TO It's Yesterday, and 1t was not until
after the close that the bear traders
learned that their cotton had Been taken
by people who were going to bull the
market
