declines because of the large quantity of
cotton in the world. Well informed farm

talking declines exceeds the number of

NEW ORLEANS. June 1S-The wealth
er map shows further very favorable de-
velopments over night. General and ample
rains all over Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas. Cooler in northwestern quarter.
Some showers in Tennessee and north
Louisiana. No rain in rest of the belt.
Fair, warm in the Atlantics High night
temperatures in central and eastern
north Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
further rains in south Texas, and prob
ably a rainstorm formation coming in
lower central and eastern states in d day
or two.
This prospective rain for the eastern
half of the belt is the only unfavorable
outlook as the cEop in the Atlantics
needs more sunshine and warm weather,
Liverpool was a little easier, quoting
spots points lower; sales 1000 bales.
Correspondence from there shows strongly
bulish views owing principally to good
trade. Our correspondents say that the
that pence for new crops enormous
trade buying would appear.
Our market opened about 10 lower, but
the regular support soon appeared in New
prices to last nights figures This per-
Torrance certainly gives a true insight
into the constitution of the market inter
est. Last year on a rain in Texas that
was not nearly as ample and general, and
on a far less promising crop, with a total
exhaustion of supplies in the world the
market was vigorously sold this year
With far more bearish conditions the mar
ket holds, and even advances on weather
conditions, which well might assume a
bumper yield for the western states This
difference in the behavior of the market
now and last year is entirely due to the
different positions of elading speculative
interests. They have shifted to the long
side. The market was never broad
enough to lquidate. and the defensive
consequently must be kept up.

Weather Conditions Favorable

Cables Show Firm Tone.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The cotton
market opened to 10 points lower today,
rejecting weather conditions over the
northwestern belt, where considerable
rain fell New crop positions showed a
better tone than had been expected. Flu
lures in Liverpool were steady; spots
there we're easier. Opening:
A strong tone developed upon the mar
ket after the early trading, starting an
upward movement in prices, with the near
positions around the previous close. This
advance was mostly due to the irregular
support shown on the market Leading
professionals were good buyers from the
ring crowd on the advance. However,
very little cotton was for sale.
AT noon the market became weak buy
ing was scattered and prices began to
sag toward the opening.
At the close the market was quiet, with
prices to points under the final quota

eases from man to man.
1t was long ago observed that the
prevalence of yellow fever CORES
ponded to the prevalence of the mos
quito, and that the disease was more
"Ketching'' at night, which is the
mosquitoes time to travel, but it was
long before the mosquito was accused
of being the transmitter of the dis

1t has also been observed that the
prevalence of typhoid fever and dys-

the fly, but the fly was not at the
time accused of being factor in the
transmission of these diseases. Now
the fact that the fly does spread these
diseases is determined and the fight

be waged till the death dealing pest

How shall the fight be waged? 1t

When the husband died the aged wo-

pan'on had gone. She called them to
Ter bedside:
John is dead isn't he?"
When told the truth she said
