Huhhard Bros. &. co.,a Letter.

New York, September 2.-(Special)-As we have foreshadowed the better demand from spinners in Lancashire apg ared in Liverpool today, steadying thaf market in face of the decline here anA in the south yesterday. A natural reaction has been due here since the first of tho month and it came today in spite of the lower prices for spots in the south. With Savannah at their quotations and October at the closing prices the mar kets are more nearly on a parity than for two years. We hope this natural condition will exist during the season which it will if we have a good crop of the better grades Our local traders have been moderate buyers of the southern offerings during the day and we look for & higher market in Liverpool tomorrow.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 2.--Spot cotton was quiet, with prices unchanged; mid ding, 91sc; sales were 2SO on the spot and 15 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet, with the active months unchanged to 1 point above the close yesterday, as result of favorable advices from Liverpool and covering by shorts in this market and elsewhere. After the opening the October and December options showed some reaction, both op- tons registering declines of about points, Subsequently advices from other markets of q bullish nature brought them up to their old levels, and the losses of the early session were more than re- gained. The improvement continued throughout the late session. and buying orders proved rather stimulating to the market. The general advance brought about by these factors was permanent, and at the close, which was steady the active months were to 10 points above the close yesterday.

An Unstable Laborina Class.

The prospector Of the mountains
and the cowboy of the plains are each
a sort of Bedouin, with no permanent
abiding place-here to-day, there to-
morrow-usually with a long story OF
experiences in different places-going
to Alaska and coming back, rushing to
new mining camps, trying new
ranches, but always moving. Indeed.
the laboring class of the West, as a
whole. Is as unstable as water, with
the very microbe Of travel in its,
blood. I talked with a carpenter in
Tacoma, a man of family, too. who had
worked in every important city on the
Pacific coast, and was then planning
to so to Butte City, where he had
heard that wages were specially high.

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use OF
the Moist Subsoil.

the Moist Subsoii.
In Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning Of April until October there
is practically no rain, yet in July the
fields teen with a vigorous growth
OF watermelons, tomatoes. cucumbers,
etc, all fl%ourishing without artificial
watering, although at that time no
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In fact the Syrian peasant, from the
moment his seed has been sown.
prays that no rain may fall. During
the period OF growth of a crop the sur
face of the soil to a depth of six or
eight inches is perfectly dry and loose.
Below this surface layer will be found
moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this moist
subsoil plants continue to grow until
the late autumn. When the crop IL
removed in the autumn the rains COM
mence and the land is ploughed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil be-
gins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view in ploughing-to furnish a IA
vorable surface for taking up all the
water and to prevent it's upward
evaporation from the subsoil. The
great point is to keep the upper six
inches of soil perfectly loose and fri
able, SO that the moisture from below
Is not drawn upward and lost in
evaporation, but does not ascend high
er than the compact subsoil that Is
not broken up by the pillow. For this
reason the ploughing is shallow, aver
aging from four to six inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is ploughed to a depth
OF about six inches, and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the pillow, falls on the damp subsoll
and is covered by the soil closing over
behind the ploughshare. From this
time the upper stratum of loose soil
prevents the escape of moisture up
ward beyond the wet subsoil on which
the seeds rest and into which their
roots after the process Of termination
spread.
