It's about the easiest thing in the world to talk

A DISTINGUISHED WRITER.

The Toronto Standard, July 2nd tells what
Catholics of the Diocese Of Salt Lake may expect
from the pen of the distinguished and learned
author, who is TO write its history from the ar
rival of the first Catholic missionaries in 1776 up
to date. That history, not only ancient, but mod
em that is. from the planting of the mustard seed
of Catholic doctrine in 1873, by the present bishop
Of the Diocese down to the present, will be a rev
elation unsurpassed in the annals Of Catholic mis-
sions. To the sacrifices made the historian viii
refer. The Standard says:
1T very often happens that the records of i'm
portant historic events political and ecclesiastical
lie buried and apparently forgotten until the time
when the hour brings forth the man who will give
them a suitable setting in the worlds great liter
airy pantheon of history. Such appears to have
been the case with Fathers Escalante and Domin-
quez. the first missionaries of the Catholic church,
who visited so early as 1776 the district of Utah
We learn from the Intermountain Catholic that
the Very Reverend Dean Harris, well known to
all the readers of the Standard. Is now engaged in
writing the early history of that important mission
1t is safe to affirm that there is no more capable or
brilliant lterateur on this continent than Dr. Har
ris and we are justified in saying that while the
devoted missionaries may have waited long. the
hour has brought forth the man, and the man,
above all others, even in the well repenished ranks
Of Roman Catholic scholarship, best able to do jus
tice to those pioneer servants of the cross. 1t IS
not everyone that possesses the patience and tact
requisite for the historic investigation of early
records, and fewer still are in possession of the
even gift of presenting such facts in a way
to attract modern readers who have little time and
less inclination to read or study that most attract
i've of all forms Of literature-the historic. In
both respects Dean Harris is facile princeps and
tho Diocese and Bishop of his church, having their
seat in Salt Lake City, are TO be congratulated on
having on the clerical staff 50 distinguished
scholar and divine"

Hubbard Bros. e Co.,. Letter.

New York April 10 Special )--Liver- pool advanced so quickly today in re- sponse to the improvement here yesterday that the local trade do not think the ad- vance will be sustained there tomorrow. With this idea they remain bearsh in their views although they now admit that there is a slow improvement in business and that the financial outlook Is more cheerful. Yet until there is ar improved demand from American spinners, they will not be apt to change their views. during the past few days several Wall street houses have been large buyers of October, believing that the decline has carried cotton below it's actual value, and that as an investment 1t was an attrac- tive purchase. The general feeling in the trade remains bearish, based on the at titude of American splnners.

COTTON MARKET HANGS IN BALANCE
  Trade Is Waiting te See Which Way Scales Will Turn BULL SUPPORT IS RENEWED
 ---=H- Expectation of Bullish Visible Supply Statement Is Factor That Prevents Prices From Going Fur
 ther Down.

New York, April 10-1nere was consd- erable support from Wall street sources in the cotton market today, but prices made little progress toward a higher level with the close steady at a net ad- vance of only to points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points and during the early session sold to points net higher on covering, Wall street support and higher cables. There was quite good deal of cotton for sale on the advance, and as soon as Wall street buying orders were withdrawn the market reacted. After selling off to a net decline of to points prices firmed up again on a renewal of bull support and covering, which was encouraged by expectations of a bullish visible supply statement and reports of a better spot demand in the south, but in the last few minutes the advance was checked by rumors that southern spinners in convention at Charlotte, N. C., had decided on further curtailments. The close was about 3 to 5 points below the best prices of the day.
