RAPID ADVANCE FOR
COTTON CONTRACTS
Local Market on Better
Selling Basis.

Though a very poor Liverpool cast
a gloom over the cotton market early
in the session, the depression was
only for a short time and in the
rally which followed prices were
at the close was nearly quarter of
a cent in some instances above the
final for Saturday.
Habersham King, of Georgia, has
a good share of the honor of the adj
vance, for when the market was de-
cidedly in a droopy condition he let
loose his crop estimate of 11,75O,OOO
bales This followed so closely be-
hind the estimator more properly
the estimates-of Mr.. Buston, the
English authority who was reported
as placing the crop all the way from
II 100000 to 100000 bales, produc-
ed a hasty reyulsion of feeling among
some who had been sounding the
bear drum most strenuously, and in
the zeal of a new convert these trad
ers rushed for protection. The inn
proved condition in the financial world
also had a good effect. On the other
side of the medal Galveston came in
with colossal estimate for today's
receipts, which exerted a brief but
telling effect upon the market.
On Friday the census bureau will
issue its report on the amount of
cotton ginned to Nov L. It is the
general expectation that the figures
will be around 100000 as against
6, 100000 last year The figures nam
ed are regarded as bullish
New York opened at declines of 16
to 10 points and New Orleans at de-
clines of 10 to IA points, but after a
little hesitancy turned to higher
level. The close at New York was II
to 10 points net higher for the active
months, with December leading.
Spots we're marked up 10 points. New
Orleans closed IS to % points above
the close for Saturday Spot quota
tons were advanced Lice
Liverpool spots were quoted at 5.97,
a loss of 7 points, with sales 5000
bales. Futures opened to points
off, but improved until the close was
2 to 6 points net lower as compared
with Saturdays close.
The receipts at the ports for the
day were $4,000 bales, of which New
Orleans got 1923, Galveston 1868
and Savannah 1864. The estimates
for today are: Galveston 34,5OO to
$500, against 25,6OO last year; New
Orleans $4,000 to 1880; Houston 49,
600 to 10000.

The Dutch government recently

to Merouke, the new pearl fishing vii
lage in Dutch New Guinea. The men
were kept in a stockade, and every
one of them knew that to remain there
was their only chance of safety. The
surrounding country was infested with
head-hunting savages. One night a
large number of the prisoners cut the
wire and made a dash for freedom,
running straight inland. Every one of
them fell into the hands of the saw

90 WOLVES EAI MENT
Most of the Yarns to That Effect De.
clared to Be Fakes.

A sceptical person, calling himself
st. Croix, has been trying to find out
whether wolves and bears are ma
ligned by the popular stories Of their
man-eating ways.
First he tried running down the
stories told in newspaper dispatches.
Foiled in this effort, he turned to the
Indians. They knew the gray wolf.
having wintered and summered with
him. Had they ever known of an In
dian being killed by one? N-no; but
Mingan was very crafty and very much
to be dreaded.
Quite so, but once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed a man?
No, but they had heard So it went;
always the same intangible, uncon.
firmed rumor and the same absence OF
proof.
Now for a few facts as to the wolf"
writes So Croix in Recreation. He
can go eight days without food and
can then eat 40 pounds of meat at a
sitting so the Indians say. This Is
pretty fair for an animal weighing but
so pounds. Yet We do not know the
length of the sitting.
The wolf will not venture on glare
ice, he never crosses lake until there
Is enough snow to hide the ice. To
wetting his feet he is as averse as the
domestic cat. He will not kill his
game in the shelter Of the forest, al
ways driving it into some open place
for the kill.
when chasing a deer he goes at a
leisurely lope, sitting down at intervals
to give the most dolorous and blood
curdling howls. This drives the poor
victim into a wild gallop and soon ex-
hausts it and as the wolf never tires
he is sure sooner or later to catch up
with the quarry.
IN winter the deer often makes for
some wild rapid into which it plunges.
knowing that the wolf will not follow,
Too often the deer browns, but better
such death than one by the fangs.
In summer couple of wolves will
secure all the deer they need by very
simple tactics. Having put up the
quarry, one wolf drives it by easy
stages to some little lake-I speak
now If the Laurentian country-and
on reaching the shore the deer plunges
unhesitatingly in, for its instinct tells
it the enemy will not dare to follow.
$50 on it swims, while the pursuer
sits on his launches and howls dis
mally, no doubt because he sees his
dinner escaping. At length the tired
deer drags itself wearily from the
water, and shakes the drops from its
coat on the sun warmed strand. Then
the companion wolf, which has way
laid it's coming, springs at its throat
and when the first wolf joins him they
have a gorge that makes them indie
pendent of fate for whole week.

Within a few yards of the marble
arch, Hyde Park, London, stands a
unique building. This Church of the
Ascension was erected at the expense
of Mrs. Russell Gurney, widow of the
late recorder of London. The building
is for rest and meditation only, for no
services are ever held within it's walls,
and on Sundays it is altogether closed.
The floor is tesselated and the walls
are covered with paintings, the work
of Frederick Shields. Admission,
which is free, is between three O'Clock
and five only, when the visitor is ex-
pected to enter his name l. book
kept for the purpose. The object of
this church is set forth on either side
of the entrance as follows: "Passen-
gers through the busy streets of Lon
don enter this sanctuary for rest and
silence and prayer. Let the pictured
walls within speak of the past yet
ever continuing ways of God and
man."

In May last the German steamer
Willehad brought back to Sgd
ney story which well illustrates the
desperate risks that man will run for
the sake of freedom. The Willehad
had just returned from the Bismarck
islands, and there she discovered, in
a remote part of New Britain, six
French convicts in deplorable state
of starvation and want. These were
the survivors of II men, who, nearly
IL months before, had escaped from
the French penal settlement of New
Caledonia on two RATS chiefly COM
posed of the slaves of beer barrels.
On one of these craft rigged with
mat sails these six desperate adven-
turers had succeeded in crossing near
ly 1000 miles Of stormy sea, only to
find themselves cast away on a saw
age island.
