 Futures opened dull with the active months two points below the close of yes e4erday.

 The notice ordering a continuance of short time in the New England mills had been expected and did not effect the mar ket to any great extent. There was 0 moderate improvement in the speculative side of the market, and this. with good sup port from room traders gradually brought the futures back to better levels before the close, which was steady. with the active months six to seven points above the close of yesterday.

 The tone of the cotton market yester- day was called easy and futures in New Orleans and New York were or 5. points of. Small lots changed hands Ut about the nominal prices that have prevailed. They indicate a tendency on the part of holders to let go. That fs the bear side.
 Loss in the prices of contracts in the big markets has been inconsiderable. The market Is firm. While small lots have been let go they are nothing. as an Indication of market tendencies. when compared with the big lots that are being srubbornly held for higher heures sure to come. That Is the Bull side .' are more of them. Most of the remain ing cotton in MontgoTSery ls held. as might be presumed, by bulls, and the gaine condition, as might be presumed with equal show of intelligence, pre- wails In the South. The long side is very enthusiastic in its cause. and 1t has right to be. It has some very plausible grounds for it's argumenta- Hons in favor of better prices. and among It's adherents yesterday there was no talk or turning loose much cotton at the prices now being paid. They are confident that their faith will be rewarded.
 The market, was still quoted nominal- ly at 1I1-s for middiinE: II 1-2 for strict middling. The trade was dull, with little offered and little asked for.

New Orleans.-After two burly rats
each had eaten enough of his feet to
give them a good meal, Morris Ia
quino. three years old, son of George
Taquino, alderman in the New Or
leans fire department, was taken to
the Charity hospital, where part of
one of the rats tooth was found i'm
bedded in its foot.
While the rats were feasting on the
boy he was squalling Justify in an at
tempt to wake his mother, who was
lying by him in the same bed. She
did not wake until the rats had eaten
half of one Of the child's big toes and
had gnawed gashes in his heel.
At the hospital where Morris was
taken the injury was declared to be
not serious and after the wounds were
bandaged the boy was taken home.
Students at the hospital said they had
never heard of such an injury and
that they had never treated a person
who had been injured by ravenous
rats.
The Taquino home is one of the old.
est buildings in New Orleans. and is
infested with swarm of rats.
