have always oontended that
whiskers, In and Of themselves, are
dangerous. The Washington Post has
for many years carried on a cam
paign of education regarding the rab-
bit, claiming with much incriminat-
ing evidence that the rabbit is the
most ferocious Of quadrupeds. Whis-
kers are far more destructive than
either rabbits or war. More men
wearing whiskers have died than were
ever killed in battle. Not only all
cats should be made to shave regu-
larly. but all bewhiskered citizens
should by compulsion be forced to
eliminate all facial drapery.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 9.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of Is
points on August and unchanged to 2
points lower on later months. Private
advices from Liverpool indicated that sew
eral Manchester mills were closing down
on account of the railroad strihe, but
there seemed to be quite a general dis
position among local shorts to take pro-
nus Crop reports were a little less favor
able and there were apprehensions of
hot winds in the southwest. The market
irmed up right after the call, and while
August showed little improvement, later
months soon sold up TO net gain of 14a
15 points.
There were numerous crop complaints
in the market, and some wires from
Texas reported a deterioration of from .
to 15 per cent during the past few days.
which encouraged purchases during the
morning. but the demand became a little
less active around 111.c for the active new
had sold about 1G to II points higher
fluctuations We're irregular. Reactions
Of from to points were mostly recov-
cred, however, and the market at midday
was steady within or points from the
best.

FRESH FISH CHEAPER.
Sold at Lower Prices for Past Ten
Days Than for Months.

Fresh fish of all kinds have sold lower
at the Wholesale market. at the 1lth
street wharf. in the past ten days than
they have for several months. and those
who arc fond Of fresh fish should be able
to obtain a bunch OF them at a price
within the reach Of even a poorly filled
pocketbook. Yesterday morning and
again this morning the receipts Of fish
from the Jersey coast fisheries and from
the nets In the vicinity OF Virginia Beach
were quite heavy. The bulk OF the sup
ply consisted of gray trout. and at the
fish auctions on the wharf they sold at
from $1.50 to $2 per barrel.
Other varieties OF the fnny tribe. which
usually brought anywhere from - to &6
per barrel. sold this morning at about -
to s. per barrel, and the demand was
light even at those prices. The dealers
attribute the light demand to the long.
continued hot weather which has created
a distaste for Ash with many persons.
Cooler weather will restore the market to
the normal
