THE 7 MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The cotton
market opened steady al ar advance
of S@7 points in response to firm ca
bles, covering and a renewal of tue
Wall street buying, which was a prom
inent feature during yesterdays late
trading. There was considerable sell
ing at the advance. but the prices inn
proved after the call. and the market
during the middle of the morning was
steady in tone and about 7 to 8 points
net higher. The Mississippi River is
reported at flood stage at Memphis,
Vicksburg and New Orleans.
The market was unsettled late in the
forenoon under realizing by yesterdays
buyers for a turn. a renewal of bear
pressure and the absence of sustained
support from Wall Street bulls. Prices
at midday had lost all the early adj
vance. and We're net unchanged to 4
points lower. with all the active months
selling on practically ever terms.

oyster is its abhorrence of race suicide.
An extremely fat and vigorous oyster
has been known to produce as many as
sixty million eggs, while sixteen mill
lions is a fair average. Suppose there
were but a single pair of oysters at the
beginning. how many would there be

he could not undertake., in the legis-
lat1ve field, to grapple with the per-
manent causes thereof until the next
session. The government, he said,
was prepared to provide a fund of
$1,50O,OoO to help the unemployed and
the admiralty was giving out orders
for the construction OF nine torpedo
boat destroyers and five unarmored
cruisers, to cost a total of $12,500, 900,
two months earlier than originally
had been intended. The premier
made also bid for recruits, saying
that the war office was ready to take
on $4,000 men for winter training in
the special reserves.
These proposals quite fail to meet
the demands of the labor members of
the house.
