Cotton Futures.
New York, April 10 -The Sun I
says Cotton advanced 2 to 4
points, closing quiet and steady after
sales of 91,000 bales.
Today's features : Most of the
developments to-day were of a bull?
ish tenor. Prominent interests here
which have recently been active on
the bull side gave the market their
support. The Liverpool news was
better, more encouraging reports
were received from the dry goods
trade, and there was an absence of
any pressure to sell. It is a waiting
market ; everybody is holding aloof
from the market pending definite
news as to the size of the next crop j
The time is near at hand when
weather conditions will become the
leading factor in the speculation, and
advices from the South are being
closely watched.

of the American Missionary Associa?
tion state that they have instructed
attorneys and bondsmen in Florida
to secure the release on bail at once
of their teachers who were arrested
in Orange Park last Friday, under

crime to teach colored and white
pupils in the same school.
The Association will test the law
before the State and Federal tribu?
nals until a final decision is rendel ed

An old book dealer in New York bas
a pack of playirjg cards which he val?
ues at $75. They were made for George
IV., at the time of the accession, and
are quite a curoisity-irrespective of the
historic interest that attaches itself to
them. The four suits represent the
four continents of Europe, Asia, Africa
and America, Europe having the hearts,
Asia the diamonds, Africa the clubs
and America the spades. Each suit
card has a map of one country in each
continent on it-in all 40 dainty and
weli-exeeuted maps.

The Amendment to the Old
Law to be Tested.
The attorney general bas about com?
pleted arrangements? fur a, case, under
the last <ii s pe:, sa ry act. to be tested tu
see if the law is as chemically pnre as
the X brands of liquor thar the S;ate
s<-U*
f?e has ordered stopped all t.eizure*
of imported drinks for private use until
the law shall be acted upon
fn the <?ld act Judge Si a?->n ton ruled
that a person couid have as much as
five gallons of whiskey brought into
the Stater or his personal use without,
molestation from the constables. The
amendment to the act passed by the last I
legislature provide.' that a person may
order liquor, but before lie can taste
tberonf it muet be resied bj the State j
ohemist to see if it is chemically pure.
The case that he has prepared to
argue before Judge Simonton is ooe of
the recent seizures in Charleston, the j
liquor being that of Mr. W Gibbes |
W haley, who has applied to the United ,'
States eircuit court, for his keg.
If it i.s ruled that persons must yield j
to the parental care of the State and j
send their private demijohns io to
be analyzed by the State chemist, then !
seizures will be ordered ; but if decided
to*the contrary, the constables will bei
instructed to forbear and to let the five j
gallon kegs go unscathed.
The case will be heard next Monday
week, April 27. This step on the part
of the attorney general will save trou
b'e and worry until the matter is pro?
perly settled.
For the next nine days kegs, not
razirs. will be flying io ?he air, and
great will be the supply laid in by the
importers.
To be Made Pure.
Between the hours of 2 and 4
o'clock yesterday morning the dis?
pensary constables made an incur?

with the State officials The liquor
was in ten kegs of ten gallons each
and was hidden iii the marsh at the
foot of Council street. Two kegs
were taken from a raft and eight
from a boat. They were unmarked
and for whom they were intended is
still a mystery. The stuff is valued
between $200 and ?300.

horror of chamber performances in gen?

Better demand at wholesale and at

aroused by bargain prices, but the
closing of many mills for a time is
urged as necessary.

nation was hastened by the treatment
he received at the hands of the con?
vention.
