New York. May 2.-(Special.)-A quiet

est tender on delivery ever made in the
process of which the stock passes into
the hands of the bulls and their southern
spinning associates. 1t is probable that
shipments to their mills will begin with
in a few days Several Liverpool ex-
porters are here, evidently with the ex-
pectation Of exporting such cotton as
they may be able to buy.
Crop accounts from the Mississippi VAL

as greater than at first believed posi-
BILE. The markets are awaiting further
developments on the old crop while the
new crop is being closely watched. Local
traders expect a somewhat lower Liver
pool tomorrow.

WHERE FISHERMEN FLOURISH
I'll Their Nets Daily and Four Illinois
Villages Ship Carloads to
New York.

Browning. nl.-This village IL one
Of four that ship enormous quantities
Of fish to the Eastern markets. It il
not unusual for three cars, containing
$4,000 pounds. to be shipped in one
day. and practically all of the fish 60
to New York.
Immense hauls are made by the
fishermen. Two fishermen delivered
at . fish company's wharf few days
ago 500 pounds Of buffalo, 900 pounds
Of bullheads. 1000 sunfish. $50 pounds
Of carp. 1000 crapple.
A great number Of fish markets are
scattered along the bank Of the I'LL
nois River, where the fishermen dis
charge their catches from day to day.
The fish are sorted, according to varie-
ty, cleaned and dressed and put into
immense ice boxes and tubs. When
shipping time comes the boxes are
opened and the fish are packed In
barrels partly filed with cracked ice
and are shipped in refrigerator cars.
In past years the town was the cen.
ter of an extensive clam fishing indus
try. The shells were shipped to
Beardstown. ILL.,, and Muscatine, Ia.
but the clam beds are now practically
exhausted.

of East Altoona was the victim of one
Of the queerest freaks lightning ever
played.
Her wash was hanging on q wire
stretched between pear tree and the
house. Seeing a storm coming, she
hurried out to take down the clothes
While she was thus engaged there waa
a binding fash and she was knocked
down. The bolt had struck the pear
tree and run along the wire into hen
body.
Her dress was polka dotted with
holes the size Of penny. the holes
looking as II they had been cut, the
edges not being singed. Immediately
under each Of these perforations
which were numerous. . blister the
size Of the hole was raised on the
flesh. as II she had been scalded.
The woman's garters were clearly
cut In two, and the eyelets Of her
shoes were made red hot and burned
her severely. She suffered terribly
from the shock.
