The course followed by the crack is

lurgists as Il cooling strain" which
offers the least resistance to the pres

Jordan, will affect the bell in time,

SINGING FISH DISTURB TOWN.
This Remarkable Fish Tale Comes
From Bellevue, @.

Bellevue. O.-This town is all fused
up over certain singing fish which
keep the villagers awake at nights.
These fish, variety of bull pout, live
in the subterranean streams which
flow under the place and. possibly be-
coming lonesome, come to the surface
and sing.
Anyway, they gather at the surface
of cisterns and quiet pools in the gath
ering dusk and chant in chorus what
prominent poetess of Bellevue calls a
sweet. sad. haunting melody. which
she likens to the moaning Of night
winds through lonely, brooding pines.
She also believes that the pout in the
subterranean darkness keep track of
each other by their cries and that the
droning sounds are their callings to
their mates. But plain citizens who
are kept awake are beginning to euss
the gosh blamed noise.

NEW ORLEANS, March lit became
pretty plain yesterday that bull interests
were trying another move against the
the steadiness in futures in the face Of
weakening spots
Wall Street had the tip and covered
freely. Liverpool appears to be in
fiuenced in the same way, as futures this
morning were l to 2 points better than
due, although spot sales were small, only
5000 bales, and political and financial news
continues bad. Consols again sd lower.
Our market opened about 5 points
higher and held very steady. Sellers were
scarcer, owing to the good Liverpool, bull
ish activity in New York and prospects
for bad turn in the weather. New York
reports say that the short interest is
very large. some estimating it at 500 000
and the fear of short scare induces COW
ering and sustains the market.
There was more willingness this morn
ing to take spots at concessions, probably
to fill old March export commitments,
but there is no new demand from abroad.
