COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, La, November 15.- Fluctuations in cotton were confined to a marrow range today, with buyers and sellers pretty evenly divided. There was a fair amount of weekend realiz- ing. This caused a moderate dip at the start, but was apparently absorbed by trade buying. The steadiness of the market and it's ability to absorb the offerings checked the, liquidation later and induced enough covering in the last few minutes to give the market a good closing. Finals were above the previous close. Reports of increased activity in the dry goods markets, be- lief that the demand for cotton will in crease as a result of this and general expectation of improvement in all lines of business were the sustaining influ- ences. Sentiment as a whole is more favorable to the buying side than for some time and spectators as well as the trade are absorbing contracts on all dips of consequence.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, November 15.-Cables over the week-end.-Fenner h Beane due, private dispatches reporting a small failure in the Liverpool market, with a consequent covering of open contracts. In the American market business was not active, but the under tone remained very steady despite the speculative feeling that after such a substantial advance and reaction would be only natural. This feeling is in creased by the fact that there seems to be a certain amount of cotton for sale in the. south on the basis of 25 cents for the near delivery. The market has absorbed a good deal of this cot ton in the day-by-day purchases of the trade, but 1t is still for sale. From purely speculative standpoint, the reaction sentiment is both natural and justifiable, but as a matter of fact the advance in the market has not come from any speculative movement but from the natural expansion in the trade demand brought about by the improve ment in business during the past two weeks This accounts for the firm ness of the market at higher prices and for the lack of the usual speculative rofit-taking. It looks as though weather conditions would be unfavor- able in the south over the week -end but favorable in the balance of the country, because temperatures are more seasonable and will move fall merchan- disc more rapidly. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow, December 13.55c, January 13.60c.-Hubbard Bros. & Co NEW, ORLEANS, November 15.- Notwithstanding the disposition to real. ize profits after such extreme advances in the speculative markets, the under. tone, especially of the cotton market remains steady. It Is now generally agreed that this years crop of lint cot
 ton will be in the neighborhood o1 13, ,OO0, ,O00 bales, and this feature of the situation has been pretty well dis
 counted. The trade Is now taking 1t. cue from prospects for a much larger

There are many varieties Of

reality, IL Is not difficult to

side the salmon and catfish families
grows this fin, and no amateur
fisherman can mistake a catfish
for trout or salmon.
There are two distinct kinds of
trout in the Eastern States, the
lake trout and brook trout. These
can be readily told apart. Natives
of Maine call the brook trout the
square tail, thus being able to dis
tinguish 1t from the lake trout.
The tail of the brook trout Is al.
most square at the end. and the
tail Of the lake trout is forked.
The majority of American trout
favor this squareness of the tail
rainbow, cut-throat, golden, Dolly
Warden, and many others. The
true steel-head. however, sports a
more forked tail than any other
species in America.
The smeIt family has the adj.
pose fin, and though these fish
are somewhat small, they are
legal members Of the salmon
tribe.

difference between q small.mouth

An increased value is given to a

Of Fisheries plans to continue the
