New Orleans Cotton Review.
New Orleans, April it.—With many
periods of activity the cotton market
last week developed frequent, yet
moderate fluctuations in prices, the ex
treme spread between the high points
on Monday and the low of Friday being
93 points. Net decline for the week,
howeyer, wns oiry 53 points.
The week started With- the market
still under the influence -qf the'western,
drought reports of the emitrnl and east
ern- sections of the cotton region. As a
result the" market receded moderate
support and ou Monday the July posi
tion reached 25.34, the high point of
the week.'Reports of better spot inquiry
and some improvement in , the stock
market induced a better tone.
The list continued fairly steady on
Tuesday in anticipation of a bullish
weekly weather and erop report Wed
nesday. but the report appeared more
fnvorable than expected and prices be
gan to ease off. The decline was ac
celerated on Thursday by reports of
more good rains in Oklahoma and
Arkansas and some rain in north
Texas. Friday the market turned com
paratively weak on general rains in
northwest and west Texas.
Advices indicated the drought was
fairly wMI broken in Oklahoma. Ar
kansas und Texas. Enough rain fell
over a fairly broad section to permit
planting and germination.
After, the market had eased off to
• 24.41 foFJuly. however, there was more
, or less cowering on the reflection that a
ensiderable portion of Texas had as yet
received no moistuie and (reports that
many portions of tjie central and. east

The Romance Os Monte Carlo.
Paris. April 25.—The annual statement
juat issued showing that the gambliitg casi
no at Monte Carlo has enjoyed a year of
record-breaking prosperity has been re
ceived with some surprise by the gen
eral public, in view of the fact that the
times throughout Europe are far from
1 being good. As a matter of faet. how
ever. there is never an unprofitable year
; for Monte Carlo. The gambler always
loses 1 The “house” always wins. The
gambler may win a fortune and go away
with it intact, resolved never to stake
another penny. But the lure of the tab
les is too powerful for him to resist; like
a magnet, it draws him back until his;
; millions have been swallowed up at the
whim of fickle chance.
The real romance of Monte Carlo cen
tres round the ex-waiter who founded
the great palace of gambling. He was a
1 waiter named Francois Blanc, who lost
bis job in a Paris restaurant, and was
later sent to prison for a fraudulent
stock transaction. After his release be
obtained a gambling concession in Horn-'
burg, made a fortune there, and then se
cured a concession at Monte Carlo, which
he proceeded to transform from barren
rock to a. place of glittering splendor. ff.e
had married a servant girl.'Charlatte Hep
sol. who was a* ambitious socially as her:
husband was financially.
The time came when the ex-waiter
found himself a multi-millionaire and the
girl who had Oftt'e scrubbed steps began
to dream of royal -marriages for her
children. It was a deeim which was to
be realized, for she married both her
daughters to Fringe*, one of whom w*s
a descendant of tbe great Napoleon and *
pretender, to Che throne of France. ‘
When the eg-waiter died he left a for
tDne amounting to millions, but the ,
family's fortunate association with the
principality of Monaco did not end there,, ]
for a son assumed command and raised |
the casino to even greater bights of l
splendor. \
Not Much Difference.
“There a grand row going on betwixt j
the new postmaster and the public!” I
stated the landlord of the Pruntytotyn ]
tavern. “He’s fixed things up so’s there ]
is more fight in the office to distribute I
the mail by. giving more room behind ]
the eases but cutting down the space ]
in the lobby so’s there ain’t room enough I
for more than about half of the popn- J
lation of the town in there at one time”. (
"Their mail will be handled till the! I
quicker, no doubt." returned the guest' ,
addressed. “So what difference does it
make if there is less room in the lobby?”
“Difference? It don’t make much dis- J
ference to the most of ’em whether they t
get their mail quick or not. But— jump- ]
mg Jeriwhy, man!—they gll want to \
jam iuto the lobby on Sunday mornings (
and kick about not getting their mail 1
quicker.”
