Avery's Letter

The cotton market today was under the same influences as yesterday. poor Liverpool, caused chiefly by the Whitsun- tide holidays was the cause of slight weaness in the early trading.
 The shadow of the July notice day still hangs over the market and the real fac- tors will not assert themselves until after this is out of the way. I have studied this July tender business until I can't sleep nights, and have finally come to the conclusion that there is enough cotton for which there is no immediate market, but which is tenderable on con- tract to make it profitable transaction to tender immense quantities on the July option. Not that I mean that the cotton so rendered will be of inferior grades, but on the contrary it is all good cotton, but of short staple. for which at present there is no demand from the mills.
 In view of these facts, I believe it the part of wisdom to accept profits on- July contracts before notice day. and replace the same in distant positions.
 c. F. AVERY.

 A scot had his leg injured at fac- tory and was treated for some time by the doctor without much favorable re- suit. Nils mother had great faith in a local bonesetter and wanted her son to go to him. lvt the boy objected, pre- ferring, he said, the "reg'lar faculty" Finally, however, he yielded to his mothers persuasions. and was taken to the town where the famous bonesetter resided. The leg was duly examined and it was found necessary 70 pull 1t very severely in order to set the bone in,' as the quack expressed it. The patient howled in agony, but at last the bone was "got in" and he was bicden to go home. In few days he would be all right and could resume work
 Didn't he do it well?" said the joy ous old lady, as they started homeward
 "Yes, he did mother" said the lad, "he pulled it well; but I was no sic a fool as to gie him the sair leg
