DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. July Houston
gets one new bale. Last year the first
new bale made its appearance on June
H. but other new bales did not appear
until the beginning Of July.
Indications are for part cloudy over en-
tire belt Continued warm, probably
scattered showers; precipitation less eX-
tensive and the tendency toward clearing
weather in the Eastern states more pro-
nounced.
Liverpool came in points lower than
due. but futures recovered in the last
hour, due to the frmness in New York.
Spots 3 points higher. sales 10000 bales.
Our Liverpool correspondents write that
feeling is hullish on good trade and the
fact that a large portion of the European
stock is of undesirable quality.
First trades here were at unchanged
figures. but the market improved steadily
on small buying induced principally by
the idea of too much rain in the Eastern
states. anticipation of an unfavorable
weekly weather report at II o'clock and
scattered short covering proceeding to-
morrows bureau. This will be issued to-
morrow al II O'Clock and will give acre
age for this year and condition of the
crop on June %.
The trade looks for condition average
around So and a reduction in acreage of
around Z per cent Comparisons will be
made with IS 6S1 900 acres in cotton last
year and a bureau condition on June %

Fight Between a Swordfish, a Whal.
and . Thrasher Shark.

Not many days out from s.. Vincent,
says a writer in the Wide World Mag
a7inc, there occurred nat was per-
haps the most remarkable incident of
the voyage. The weather was fine. the
sea almost dead calm. Captain Nap
per happened TO be leaning over the
side of the boat. looking into the water,
when suddenly he saw, passing silently
underneath. a huge shape. The exact
outlines he could not perceive. blu he
caught a glimpse of a long %protuber-
ance from the head, and recognized the
creature as a large sword fish.
Now il is the pleasant habit of the
sword fish to form an alliance with the
species of shark known as the trash
err" for the purpose of hunting the
whales upon which these two creatures
mutually prey. The victim having been
found. the sword fish attacks from be-
low. plunging his cruel sword into the
belly OF the whale. while the thrasher
delivers an attack from above, leaping
out of the sea and descending upon the
whales back to administer a Fearful
blow with its fiail-like tail.
Such an encounter the crew OF the
Brighton were presently to witness.
Suddenly out of the still sea, only
about q quarter of a mile away, there
rose an immense whale. High in the
air at the same moment leaped two
thrfsher sharks, dealing their enemy
fearful blows as they dropped upon
his back. The murderous thrusts of the
ssvordfsh could not, Of course. be seen,
hut evidence OF them was very soon
forthcoming. for a crimson stain spread
rapidly over the surface Of the water.
