AbercrombIe &. Co.'S Market Letter.


There was absolutely little or nothing
doing today notwithstanding our being
on the eve OF census report, which will
be published tomorrow at 1 O'Clock, New
Orleans time and will show the number
of bales gnned from the growth of 1905
up to January Is. General expectations
are for about $3.50. 600 bales to be reported
ginned to the 10th inst. against 1864 900
to corresponding date last year. and D.,
$4,000 gnned to the same date 1904
After making liberal allowances for the
amount remaining to be ginned, there is
every reason to believe that this sea-
sons production will be about 100000
bales less than last years actual growth
of 1369S0O0 bales. yet the movement to
market, 1885, 600, against S,590O0O one year
ago. Is only 10lS,0o0 bales behind arrivals
to market up to last Friday, when COM
pared with receipts up to same time In
1900 1t Is plain to a novice, therefore,
to understand that there is as much as
100000 bales less ON plantations than
was held at even date one year ago. The
trade at large, however, is only looking at
the hugeness of the worlds visible supply
of American cotton as was shown at the
close of last week, 100000, compared with
1867 600 last year, when the market was
about cents lower than 1t is today, SIS
against 11A.

tailed idle. The same adjective might just
as properly be used TO describe the state
of our market, which was dull and mar
row. both sides being apparently satisfied

A slight Improvement followed on some
covering by shorts before the close, which
Vas steady at a net loss Of only 1 to
3 points. Spots were officially reported
quiet and unchanged. Sales amounted TO
loo bales of spots and 500 bales TO ar
rive, on the basis of i1& cents for mid
ding. Eighteen hundred bales were deliV-
cred on contract. The attention of the en-
tire cotton trade is now chiefly directed
10 the census bureau report, to be issued
at l p m. our time, tomorrow, show
ing the amount of cotton ginned to jan
uary Is. A leading operator In New York
who was until recently publicly identified
with the bear side of the market, has
been trying TO educate the public mind
to expect n report of a,925,0OO. We take
no stock in his fine-spun theory that the
market will advance on a report showing
9,931,000 bales ginned or decline on re-
port of 9,950000 or over. In this case. no
doubt, the wish is father to the thought
and should the New York bear crowd at
tempt to hammer the market on a report
of even 100000 bales they will find that
they have reckoned without their host.

DOG DRUMS UP PASSENGERS.
Secures Travelling Men for Livery
 Proprietor of St. Charles, III.

Chicago.-A hotel and liveryman in St Charles, H., makes use of dog for an odd purpose. It is a peculiarly marked coach dog, named Spot, and supposed to be known by all of the travelling men in the country.
 When a drummer" wants to go to an interior town the hotel man drives for him and takes the dog along. When the town is reached Sport is al lowed to roam the streets Another drummer who wants to make the town where the dog belongs knows him as soon as he sets eyes on him and cor rectly surmises that the owner is in town with his rig and will be going back Forthwith he hunts up the dog s owner and engages him for the ride back to the railroad town. In this way the hotel and livery man has a passenger each way, and, of course. doubles his money.
 Sport seems to know what is want ed of him and he goes nosing around a town as if he was hunting GUS toner for his master. Mir. Atwood, his owner, says that he earns his board a good many times over by finding passengers for the return trips.
 It is a coincidence that man living n the adjoining town Of G"neva has .,le sane kind of dog. The two look enough alike to be of the same litter. G.ae Geneva dogs name alzo is Sport,
 -s. tances as has the St. Charles animal. But in this case it is because of this very fact that the owner is obliged to leave him at home or chain him out of sight, for he does not want it kno 9n that he is in town during some of the trips that he makes t3 them. He is the sheiiff of Kane

ECZEMA kFFLICTS FAMILY.
Father and Five Children Suffered for Two Years with Terrible Eczema
 Wonderful Cure by Cuticura.

My husband and five children were all afflicted with eczema. They had It two years. We used all the home remedies we could hear of without any relief, and then went to a physi- clan and got medicine two different times, and it got worse. It affected us all over except head and hands. We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and concluded to try them. So sent for $1.00 worth, cosisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap. one box of Oint. ment and one vial of Pills and we commenced to use them. I do not know how to express my joy in finding cure, for two of my children were SO bad that they have the brown scars on their bodies where they were sore. Mrs. Maggie B. Hill Stevens, Mason Co, W.
