were better than due, but our market failed to
follow their advance. There was some pres
sure from professionals and further liquidation
from commission houses on private reports Of
rain in Texas. The amount of good done by
rain in Texas somewhat discredited later
and the market advanced sharply. The cotton
goods trade is improving daily and the in
creased movement is to be expected at this
time of the year, but 1t is quite probable that
the new crop will be taken by spinners as
fast It appears, as they for the most part
must be pretty bare Of supplies.

ROYAL ROMANCE.

Strange Courtshfp Of Archduke and
Jobmaster's Daughter.
More than one royal romance has
occurred in the family Of the Haps
burg. The best of all, perhaps, is
that of the Archduke Johann, brother
of the Emperor Francis 1. One day
he was travelling incognita when he
arrived in a village where he desired
to take a coach for Vienna. He looked
around to hire a carriage, for which.
having been obtained. he sought 9
driver. At length a lad was brought
to him.
Your Names" queried the arch.
duke.
Johann. SIR" answered the lad.
The archduke was cute" He had
seen at a glance that this was no boy
before him, but a girl disguised.
what do you call yourself when
you are at home helping your mother
in the Kitchen he asked. smiling.
Anna Ploch," she answered, land
what is your manner"
Johann, too: I am an archduke."
II suppose you will say that you
are the Emperor himself next?" she
laughed back at him. Then she drove
his carriage into Vienna.
Here. behold. the people saluted,
and she made inquiries, thus finding
out the real facts. But she thought
little more of the matter until 4
month later the archduke strobe into
her fathers cottage Just at the dinner
hour, and asked permission to Join
the family gathering. The girl began
apologies. but the archduke laughed
them aside, and insisted on being
called plain Johann"
The visit was repeated again and
again, and at last the villagers began
to talk--unkindly. Anna at last asked
the archduke to come no more be.
cause OF the gossip. That settled It.
He asked her to marry him, and, de-
spite the objections Of the Emperor,
the two were married. Later, the
girl, once daughter OF a 1obmaster,
was created baroness and countess,
and at last forgiven by the Emperor.
