COTTON SITUATION UNCHANGED
Movenent of Southern Farmers to
Hold Staple Causes Uneasiness
NEW YORK: The cotton market
is still a waiting one, and the deveolp-
ments of the past week have failed to
clear the situation, which would en
courage traders to take a position on
one side or the other. Uncertainty is
the keynote of the market, with the
spot position the pivot on which the
market must turn.
The movement on the part of the
southern farmers to bold back cotton
is being lived up to much better
than had been anticipated, and thus
far there has been no evidence of any
weakening which would naturally
find reflection in increased offerings
at interior points. The movement
has been small and the amount of
cotton brought into sight during the
week amounts to only 146,752 bales.
The position on which the bears lay
greatest stress is that at least 2,000,-
000 bales will have to be carried over
to next year. With the ruling price
this would present a total value of
$70,000,000, and with the assurance
of a smaller crop this year and con-
sidering the strong financial con-
dition of the south, it is not believed
there is any reason to apprehend any
liquidation of spot holders at anything
like ruling prices.

His Reason.
"Jones is a friend of yours, isn't
he?"
"Sure."
"Then why don t you give me an
Introduction to him?"
"That's why."—Houston Post.
Envy.
She—Did you notice how that bald-
headed man stared at my poodle?
He—Yes. He looked to me a6 If
he wanted to know what kind of hair
resteer *h* poodle uses.
Robbie's Idea.
The Mother—Yes, she's a good
woman. Robbie. She is always cast-
ing her bread on the water.
The Boy—I don't call that good,
mamma. Don't you suppose the poor
fishes like cake once in a while?
A Selfish Motive.
Farmer—Here, duckie, duckie, duck-
ie; come get the corn.
Duck—No, thanks. Si; I don't want
corn for breakfast half as bad as you
want duck for- dinner

Bread in the Transvaal
Every district in the Transvaal has
its mill or mills, the proprietors of
which do a good business. When a
Boer wishes to have a load of mealies
ground he takes-them over in his wag-
on and outspans until they are done.
Time is not of the first importance
here, and it sometimes happens that
a man who arrives at the mill in the
morning, expectiug to return home at
night, is kept waiting two or three
days before he can get his wants at-
tended to.
The Boers make their own bread.
They bake it in large, outside ovens,
which are a feature of every house-
hold. These ovens are made of the
clay taken from the ant hills. A fire
is made in the center, and the front
of the oven is blocked up with a stone
wrapped up in sacking. When the
Inside has reached a sufficient temper-
ature the Are is laked out. the bread
put inside, and the entrance again
closed up. By the time the inside of
the oven is cold the bread is baked.
The Boer bakes once a week. The
loaves are of substantial proportion.
Meaiie meal is used. "Kaffir beer" be-
ing used in place of yeast. The bread
is appetizing enough when fresh, but
it reaches the consistence of a stone
before the week is out, but the Boer
is blessed with good teeth, and he
never complains. When the "old
man" is going away on a transport
trip several of these loaves are pie-
pared. These are packed away in the
wagou 'box. Before a quarter of a
Journey is completed they will be
broken up-sometimes with a chorper
—and soakod in hot coffee.
When the traveler arrives in town
he generally lays in a supply of
baker's bread, and throws the other
away, but he does not te'.l his wife of
this when he gets back.—The Miller.
