Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

A strong Liverpool, excessive rainfall in north Texas and an improved demand for spot cotton were a combination of bullish influences that the bears were un- able to cope with today. Despite their desperate endeavors to keep the mar ket down, an advancing tendency grad ualy developed, which finally carried the prices up to the level of 11.5S for July contracts. Around this level, profit taking by satisfied longs set In and was the chief feature of the late afternoon trad ing The continued spot sales in Liver pool, while accounted for in measure. by the fast that spots in that market are relatively cheaper than on this side, would also seem to indicate that spinners are becoming alarmed over the crop outlook and are preparing against a possible famine next fall by purchasing actual cotton.

THE LOCAL MARKETS

The price of spot cotton in the Birmng- ham market yesterday was less steady than has been the case for some time, but good midding closed at 11A cents twelve points higher than on Tuesday. No receipts whatever are noted.
 The main features of the local produce market yesterday was the overstock of strawberries Nearly all the merchants on Morris avenue had more than they could handle yesterday but there was no decrease in the quotation of prices on the product. Chickens are few cents cheaper and eggs are plentiful at 15 cents.

Market ruled steady and somewhat higher on favorable trade accounts from Liverpool, backed up by continuance of unfavorable wet weather in north Texas, further heavy rains having oc- cured in the northwestern portion of the belt over night
 The large spot business in the English market is not attributed to unfavorable crop accounts from the south. but, ac- cording to private cables received today to q good export demand for Russian account.
 As a result of the rains in the north western portion of the belt since last Sunday. streams are swollen, and some fear is entertained lest the Red river leaves it's banks.

circle. of which the center was divan
higher and more gorgeous than the rest.
Here places were pointed out to them
opposite the divan, and they took their
stand by them. They had not long to
wait for presently there was a sound
of music and, heralded by troops of
singing women, the lord Sinan, clad
now in his blood red festal robe, ap-
preached.
Around him marched four slaves,
black as ebony, each of whom held a
flaming torch on high. while behind
followed the two gigantic guards who
had stood sentry over him when he sat
under the canopy of justice. AS he
advanced down the hall every man in
it rose and Frustrated himself and so
remained until his lord was seated
save only the two brethren. Settling
himself among the cushions at one end
of the divan. he waved his hand
whereon the feasters, and with them
Goodwin and Wulf. sat themselves
down.
Now there was q pause, while Sinan
glanced along the hall impatiently
Soon the brethren saw why, since ct

had entered appeared more singing

by four black torchbearers-Gtly these
were women-walked Rosasnund ald

Since the tragic death of Mrs. Stan
ford at Honolulu, reported to have
been due to poisoning, the control of
the university has been vested in a
board of fifteen trustees. The univer-
sity is coeducational and now has
about 1900 students enrolled.
The building up and development
of the institution is due largely to
the work of David Starr Jordan.
DR.. Jordan delivered a series of lee
lures before the recent meeting Of In

Lafayette. He went East bat was ex-
Dected to reach Palo Alto the first of

TN HE brethren and Rosamund
81 looked at each other; then.
moving to the center of the
chamber, where they thought
that none would hear them, they began
20 speak in low voices and in English.
/ 'Tell you your tale first, Rosamund,"
said Goodwin.
She told it as shortly as she could.
Then Goodwin spoke. and told her
theirs. Rosamund heard it and asked
a question almost in a whisper:
'Why does that beautiful dark eyed
woman befriend you:'
II do not know" answered Goodwin,
'unless it is because of the accident Of
my having saved her from the lion"
Rosamund looked at him and smiled
a little, and Wulf smiled also. Then
she said:
BLESSINGS be on that lion and all it's
tribe! l pray that she may not soon
forget the deed for it seems that our
lives hang upon her favor. Oh, that
we could escape this place!"
"An eel in an osier trap has more
chance of freedom" said Wulf gloom
lily. LET us at least be thankful that
we are Gagged together-for how long, l
wonder?"
AS he spoke Masouda appeared, at
tended by waiting women, and, bowling
to Rosamund, said:
at is the will of the master, lady,
that / lead you to the chambers that
have been made ready for you, there to
rest until the hour of the feast Fear
not; you shall meet your brethren then.
You knights have leave, if it so pleases
you, to exercise your horses in the gar
dens."
"She means that we must Co." NUT
tered Goodwin, adding aloud, Farewell,
sister, until tonight"
So they parted, unwillingly enough.
In the courtyard they found their
horses, also a mounted escort of four
fierce looking fedais and an officer.
When they were in the saddle this
man, motioning to them to follow him,
passed by an archway out of the court
yard into the gardens. Hence ran a
broad road strewn with sand. along
which they began to gallop. This road
followed the gulf which encircled the
citadel and inner town of Masyaf. On
hey went, the gulf always on their
right hand. Thrice they passed round
the city thus, the last time by them
selves, for the captain and the fedais
were far outstripped. Indeed, it was
not until they had unsaddled Flame
and Smoke in their stalls that these
appeared, squirting their foaming horses.
Taking no heed of them, the brethren
thrust aside the grooms, dressed their
steeds down, fed and watered them
About the hour of sunset the women
servants came and led them to the
bath, where the black slaves washed
and perfumed them, clothing them in
fresh robes above their armor
When they came out the sun was
down, and the women. bearing torches
in their hands, conducted them to a
great and gorgeous hall, which they had
not seen before, built of fretted stone
and having a carved and painted roof
On the floor Of this hall, each seated
upon his cushion beside low tables in
laid with pearl, sat the guests, a hun
dred or more, all dressed in white robes
on which the red dagger was blazoned
and all as silent as though they were
| asleep.
When the brethren reached the place
the women left them, and servants
with gold chains round their necks es-
corted them to dais in the middle of
the hall, where were many cushions, as
yet unoccuDied. arranged in q semi

COSTLY CLOTHES FOR WOMEN.
Enormous Sums of Money Can Bs
Spent for Finery.

"As much as $50 a yard is often
paid for gold and silver tissue-cloth
Of gold, as it is called, though it is not
really" said dressmaker, cloth of
gold at all. For cloth of gold. the
real thing, is made of pure gold,
drawn into fine wire, and then woven
by hand. Such cloth was often used
during the middle ages. 1t is now
used only in Sumatra Its cost is quite
5000 yard.
THAT seems high, doesn't it? It is
nothing, though, beside the cost of
lace. A court train of moire antique,
decorated with gold thread and pearls,
was made in Paris for an American
lady last year at cost of $500.
ITO the empress of Russia not long
ago the mobiles of the province of
Kherson presented an ermine mantle
worth $4,000.
There are lace handkerchiefs worth
$4,000. Even the thread of which lace
Is made comes ridiculously high. The
