"No man la fonder of tobacco than an Eskimo," he said., as he lighted a cigar ette. "The Eskimo depends for his to bacco solely on the white man. For a pound of It be would sell his eldest son. It is odd tO see an Eskimo smoke. He chops his tobacco fine and mixes it with chopped willow twigs, so as to make it go further. Then he cleans out with a picker of bone the small stone bowl of his pipe, and then he plucks a lock of hair from his deer skin suit and rams it down in. the bottom of the pipe bowl so as to prevent any of the finely chop ped tobacco from escaping Into the stem. ' Finally he lights the pipe and ptnokes it hi a swift series of long, strong puffs, so that there may be no waste.

Miller & Co.'s Cotton Letter. ' Special to The Observer. New York, Feb. 6. An Impression wan abroad early that the report ot amount ginned to February 1st, - which Mr. Price premised to make publlo at noon to-day, would be bullish and confirm the recent Census report of ten amount remaining to be ginned. The heavy big buying Sat urday by people close to Mr. Fries was accepted as ah Indication ot a bullish report. There was a great surprise, therefore, and a general disposition to Ignore it, when a - rumor began to cir culate that his report would show 10. 271,000 bales ginned to February 1st. This wruld mean 273,000 ginned during the 15 days from January ifith to February 1st, which was more than the amount ginned during the tint half ot January and also considerably in excess of the Census esti mate or only 260.000 Wt to be ginned for the balance of the season. : Although tbe figures were, not given out here until neon, they were wired to Southern cor respondents an hour and a half earlier, which accounts for the rumor circulated. In this instanoe, the rumor proved to be absolutely ' correct and, although It, was thought to bave been discounted by the early decline of 30 points, the market was called upon to sustain another additional aecune or ten points. Thorn have been several fitful attemnt to rally but the close Is only four or five points from tbe lowest and about 2S points down from Saturday on the old crop posi tions. The new crop suffered to the ex tent of 12 or 13 points. The South sold freely here throughout the day. So also did Liverpool, but spot people say that the Interior refuses to Belt spots at any thlnr like the decline of U cent estab lished In futures. Tho demand from spinners is light, and we may see a sharp falling off to-morrow In Liverpool sales, which will be strik ing to the eye lB.flon bales on e eye in contrast with sales of several nays of tne cast week. Port receipts continue very heavy, as also do those at the Interior towns, espec ially In comparison with the phenomen ally light movement of last year. Vn Census report of the amount remaining for some days to come will continue to run bearish. It - would seem that a re vival of spot demand, such as was met 1 1 "1 congratulate you not only on the handsome manner in which this volume has been gotten up, but also in giving to the public the opportunity of knowing and appreciating the most charming bit of writing that has appeared in North Carolina in our, day' ew York City, Jan. 8,1906.
