COTTON REPORT.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 11.-(Spe- ciaL)-In it's summary of the cotton market situation tomorrow, The Times Democrat will say:
 The future markets responded to professional reactionary sentiment. The spot markets about held their own. On the one hand acute distress among the non-employed in the manufactur- ing city of Glasgow and the smallness of forward demand favored price op- ponents, while on the other a trop- ical hurricane coming up from the west Indies and a storm over the west gulf region, giving rise to fear of movement checking conditions worked against them. The talent as whole was cautious in the extreme. and the days loss resulted from one-sided trading rather than from volume of selling. The season of storms now having arrived the talent looks upon the next few days as critical period for the crop, and since the near flu, ture course of the market will depend upon conditions which man can neith . CT control nor wholly foretell. profess sional opinion. for the moment at least. is of but little value to the cotton
 on the day New Orleans lost 8 points on December (s.65 range S.64-75), and broke even on spots @ 3-16)., The tone was called quiet.

A certain man in this city. who is

startled his wife by the sudden ejacu-
latlon What In the H. are you

The wife said nothing about the oc-
currence until breakfast the next
morning. Then she took her husband
to task
The husband was as much surprised
as the wife. Presently he laughed out
right. His dream had come to him.
He explained that he had son his
wife down in a quarry pit trying to
sell a horse. She was giving the
horses good points in detail and the
way she was talking would have put a
phonograph TO shame. The husband
came along and looking into the pit was
astonished to see the lady of his
house at the bottom
1t was then that he made the re-
mark which caused her inquiry at the
breakfast table. AS he did his cuss-
ing aloud. while the rest OF the dream
was silent. his wife was ignorant of
what was in her husbands mind at
the time Of his surprising remark.

At the urgent request of his friends
Throughout the county John Levey. Of
White Clay Greek hundred has filed
his name as a candidate for coroner.
Among Republicans Levey has always
stood up to the collar and never jumped
the traces. When a man carried his
life in his hand. when it meant some
thing to be a Republican. when the
disfranchisement machine worked
against Republicans. when the poor
white man and the negro had little
show Levey was always at work trying
to get these men their rights. Now
that he is a candidate for coroner is a
splendid opportunity to repay him and
a vote for Levey is a vote for a de-
serving party man who has always
been ready to work for the success
of the Republican party. White Clay
Creek hundred deserves a little recog-
milton in the makeup Of the county
