Something out of the ordinary is IT omised our the atre goers when the Daniel Boone on the Trai company visits our city at the opera house next Saturday Nearly everyone is familiar with the history of the famous pioneer and know of his many exciting exr eriences, all of which are presented in a realistic manner by this company To properly present this play, resl wolves, bears and Indians are carried by the company which will be seen on the streets the day of the sbow., The company numbers Cs CT 20 people, all artists. aud there will also be several clever specialties.

New Orleans April Trading was re- sumed today at levels somewhat lower than the closing of last Thursday. Developments over the holidays were favorable to lower prices Beneficial rains on last Friday and Saturday gave temporary relief to the whole drought stricken sections of Texas and Louisiana and by today the whole beIt had ben the recipient of much needed rains The breaking of the drought was not without the usual fall in temperature, the mercury in the early cottou producing districts of the Southwest registering about 45 degrees which. while giving cause for apprehension lest damage be inflicted upon young cotton, was probably harmless, es- pecially since warmer weather is the of ficfal forecast for all states tonight ana Tuesday, except the Carolinas where rains are looked for.
 Variations in the worlds visible supply displayed bearish comparatives, that or AmArican having increased relatively l6&,OO0 hales during the week by reason of the movement for the week to market having heen 40. 900 larger than last years, by mill takings for the same period having been 62 OOO bales smaller than year ago ana be- cause of there having been a minus correc- ton this week last year of 60,O0O bales in the stock at Bremen, Germany.
 In explaining the smallness of spinners takings during the past week, 2l1,oO0 vs. 273 900 last year, longs cited the Easter holidays as the cause, which is probably true However. the fact remains that the already large visible supply of American in the world increased relatively during the week 162000 bales and that it now shows an excess over visible stocks Of one year

MARKET FOR COTTON
QUTET DUR1NG SESSION WITH FLUCTU-
 ATIONS NARROW.
Qoooed 1teady nt . Net Decline of Two to Gix Points.-Salss were Estimat-
 cd nt 10000 &s eIlalee.

New York. April 1.-The cotton market was quiet during today's trading with fiuc- tuatious narrow and the close steady at . net decline of 2@s points. Sales were esti- mated at 6o.o00 sales.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to decline of four points and active months sold about 567 points lower right after the call. There was scattering lfuuidatfon and bear pressure which was ruled pretty steady during the middle ses- end figures and the reports of rain in the dry sections of the Southwest. On the oth- CT hand low temperatures were reported following the rains in the belt and frost was notde at couple of points on the early map. This was not generally thought to be in sections where the crop was suffi- cientiy advanced to suffer any damage but the presence of the low temperatures check ed aggressive offerings and the market ruled pretty stady during the middle ses- sion. Reports that cotton was being brought here from Memphis for delivery on contract eased prices off another point or two at one time in the afternoon but the market steadied on covering toward the close.
 Liverpool being closed until tomorrow may have restricted business to some extent Southern sopt markets were generally un- changed.
 Receipts at the ports today 1s.os5 bales. against l7,002 last week and 12,133 last year For the week (estimated) 125.0o0 bales against 147.2s1 last week and 113,sss last year.
 roday's receipts at New Orleans 1900 bales, against 3.0s1 last year and at Hous- ton 2.1ss bales, against s,2Ss last year.

 New Orleans April 1.-The principal change during the holidays occurred in the weather conditions which improved in two ways. Good rains fell in nearly all the states and lower temperatures checked too rapid development Our market opened two to four points lower and showed a dis position to ease off further on weather and unfavorabe visible supply statement but manipulation in New yogk continues it's grip on the markets and checked free de- yelopement. Correspondence from abroad Is not very pleasant reading.
 Shipments are turning out badly in quali- ty. lower grades imported owing to their cheapness. are found difficult to dispose of and competition to get rid of the stock i'm ported on this seasons cratic basis for grade and staple Is on in earnest and re- ducing profits generally The spot mar ket is quiet; there was hardly any thing done since Thursday but little demand is in evidence so far today.
 Futures were dull in the afternoon but the action of New York prevented further decline. Spots continued quiet Several sources in the interior complain about let up in demand and report that off cotton Is being shipped to New York for tender Liverpool Is due about three points higher and the action of that market tomorrow may stimulate more activity one way or the other.

New Orleans. April 1.--spot cotton clos ed quiet i-1s of point lower than last Thursday Middiing 10&c. Sales were 1850 bales on the spot and IFS to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet at decline of from one to five points compared with the closing last Thursday. This was attribut- ed to bear pressure and reports of good rains throughout Texas. Owing to the con- sinuation of the Easter holidays fin England and the consequent elimination of the Liv- erpool market as a factor trading was not active. The close was quiet with prices ranging from two to six points below the closing of Thursday.
