COTTON PARES
EARLY LOSSES

NEW YORK, June 4 G.N.sO.
Cotton prices continued easy
during the forenoon session, al
though prices were above opening
lows. Profit-taking on the recent
advances made on June 2 was still
in evidence. Some short covering
and scattered buying acted as a
check on further declines.
Trading was moderately active
during the opening. Lower Liver
pool cables, coupled with heavy
selling orders from abroad, added
to the beariSh sentiment.
Commission houses sold on re-
ports of rain due in the Eastern
and Central belts. The Far East,
locals, and Wall Street bought.

While there was an increase in
the loss and damage payments
by the railroads last year over
1884 the actual figures, when con.
sidered in relation to the volume
and value of goods transported,
reveal that the carriers really
made some progress in their con-
certed efforts to reduce this item,
according to the report of the
Committee on Prevention of Loss
and Damage.
Last years loss and damage
payments, according to the COM
mittee's report, amounted to ST.
a46,049, an increase of $912,018, or
5.4 per cent over 1884. When COM
pared with 1898, there was an in
crease of $2,46O, 500, or 15.9 per
cent, but in this connection at
tention was called to the fact that
freight traffic was approximately
13 per cent greater and wholesale
prices in general rose 81 per cent,
while claim payments per car
originated and per million ton
miles remained about the same.

Course Essentially Fair.

A FTER good look, I am inclined to
agree with our complainant
within limitations. Essentially, the
course constitutes a fair test of a
hunter, offering an opportunity to
gallop in the open, negotiate one or
two obstacles where good judgment is
needed as much as nerve, and calling
Tor display Of most of the qualities
that go to make up superior horse to
hounds. There are few minor altera-
tons that mnght be made, however in
the interests Of safety and fairness.
To be more explicit, the second of
the II fences is chicken coop with
the take-off in a field and the landing
in a road. That's fair enough, but a
few feet past the road there is a small
ditch to be popped over, and yester-
day that ditch was so covered over
with bramble and weeds that horse
might fail to see it, step in and break
a leg. A few minutes with a scythe
could clear up that situation.
The fifth fence is made Of poles
nailed up solidly and approximating
the bar gates so often met in hunting
around here. Because Of the wide
spaces between bars in these barriers,
horses sometimes get in close to them,
and no doubt intending to be helpful
you have placed big logs on the take
off side of this fence to make the
hunters stand back. The trouble is, If
one should happen unavoidably to get
in close and strike one of those logs
it would be bound to throw him.
Hows for putting the logs directly un-
derneath the bottom bar, thus en-

A FEW enthusiastic carpers might
also have something to say about
No. 8, that simple brush affair on
the hilltop. 1t bears a suspicious re.
semblance to the customary first fertce
in horse shows, and not much to the
rough and ready posers of the hunting
f1eld-but after all, maybe there is
chance that a fox might run through
somebody's horse show grounds some
day, and there you'd be with a nice
brush jump, big as life and not half
so natural.
Please don't imagine this Is an al.
tempt to discredit your work in build
ing the new hunter trial course. With
a few adjustments, it undoubtedly
will be the best ever set up in the
long and honorable history of the
Riding and Hunt, and yours the glory
be when the meet goes off with a sky
rocket bang on Saturday. I only
thought you might not have the time
to check up these little items yourself,
and wanted to pass on to you the ideas
Of some Of your incipient competitors.
