that the rank and file Of the job hold

A GENTLE SLAP BY MINNIE
Bill Dawson Started Things, But an Elephant Ended Them
From the New York World.

From the New York World Minnie is large for her age. has a big heart and was never known to be peevish. But Bill Dawson slapped Min nie yesterday and Minnie slapped Bill. So Dawson is in Flower hospital.
 After Minnie slapped Bill she went outside the stable and elephant tears coursed down her broad face. She would not be comforted till Hans, who has swapped peanuts with her these five years, came along and listened to her plaints as she laid her trunk con- fidingly on his shoulder.
 Minnie is 29 years old and her owner says she Is the largest elephant in cap tivity and also the most docile. William Dawson, an experienced trainer, re- gently was engaged to take the place of Hans, because Minnie was getting too big for Hans to handle.
 Be nice to Minnie,' cautioned Hans, "because she's always been coddled and doesn't know what blow is.'
 Dawson had his own ideas about tend ing elephants and when Minnie did something capricious Monday night. Dawson struck her. Minnie replied with her trunk and-weH. the physi- clans say Dawson may recover.

Dry Goods Market

New York, February 2s.-The cotton goods markets have been easier in the dry goods division during the past week. Trading continues in a conservative way, retailers buying steadily, but in moderate quantities for early and prompt ship ment. Retailers operations in print, gin ghams, wash goods, dress goods and domestic departments have been larger than in ready-to-wear departments or in notions, carpets, laces or underwear and hosiery. It is inferred from this fact that retailers stocks of staple merchant disc are in very snug shape and any increase in buying at the counters will be quickly reflected in the primary mar- kets.
 Values on branded cotton held fair ly steady. Fall River sold about 5000 pieces of print cloths, of which half were for spot delivery.
 There has been a better demand for made up sheets and pillow cases and other staples, domestics in the jobbing houses but the demand Is not broad enough to force jobbers into the pri- mary markets. Hence the mills. are gen. orally increasing the volume of curtail- ment.
 The yarn markets are easier and prices have become very irregular.

SHADOWOF SCOTT BILL OVER MARKET The Trade Wants to Know
 Where It Stands CHANGES NOT LIKELY The New Crop Is Now Being Consid- cred and the Weather Conditions
 Will Sway the Price of
 Cotton

New Orleans, February 26.-The cot ton market this week will still be un- der the shadow of the Scott bill, the measure now before Congress which pro- poses to do away with the future mar ket altogether. Not until the end of the week and the adjournment of Con- gress will the trade know just whore
 it stands For a couple of weeks now, all fresh trading has been done with the knowledge that legislation of a most unsettling character had a chance of passing and this knowledge will still persist this week, although the majority of traders express the opinion that Con gress will not pass bill that does away with cotton contracts, but still al- lows future trading in grain and other commodities.
 Because of the uncertainty over the Scott bill, legitimate features will not have their true weight. Statistics will develop much more strength this week than they have yet shown this season, but it is doubtful if the leading bulls will attempt to make use of them with congressman still trying to force the passage of anti-future legislation. How ever, should it be seen that all chances of passing the Scott bill were lost, the attempt might be made to interest the outside public in the market once more by an exposition of the statistical po- sition of the staple. Any change in prices from this is liable to come along toward the last of the week when tho weekly tables are being made up.
 The weather over the cotton belt prom ises to be warmer this week. during the early part. at least; and this may lead to more planting of seed in the earliest counties of Texas. Should the market open on rains in the west over Sun day. the new crop months will probably decline, although the decline may not be wide because of the oversold condi- tion of the market and strength tha- will come from the old crop deliveries. The time is fast approaching when great interest will be taken in the new crop and developments are bound to sway the price strongly one wav or another.
 This week will see le March position become the spot month. which means that outsiders will be out of it and more willing than ever to try to solve the problem presented by May and July. Should conditions be favorabl many traders expect some signs from the lead ing bulls regarding their intentions in connection with these two months.
 Tuesday will be holiday in the New Orleans market because of the Mardi Gras festivities. On that day the last of the replies from correspondents in the belt will be mailed to the census bureau to make up the final report on ginning of the season. This report will be issued on March 20 and will affect trading for some time before that date.
