DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CRIsFIRID-Two-
thirds of the business portion of Crisfield,
Nd was destroyed by fire which broke
out in the store of James Booth, at 4 O'Clock,
last Sunday morning. There was no fire
apparatus in the town and the citizens had
to depend, as usual, upon water buckets for
extinguishing the fire. Booths stock was
valued at 81 900 and he had recently had it
insured for 81 800. He was suspected of fir.
ing his property and came near being lynch.
ed. He was arrested along with other per-
sons.
We have frequently urged the importance
of providing in Bel Air some means of ex.
tinguishing fires. 1t is true, we have fortu.
nately been exempt from destructive fires,
but the burning of Prince Frederick last
March and now of Crisfeld, should serve as
a warning that our turn may come next. 1t
is difficult, perhaps, to keep a fire engine
always in working order, when it is seldom
used, but our town commissioners should at
least provide ladders, axes, buckets, &c, and
keep them in some central place, for use at
fires. Simple apparatus of this kind, easily
accessible when fire breaks out might avert
wholesale confiagration

The following is synopticai statement OF
the cotton consumption and overland move
ment to July 1st," taken from the New hork
Financial Chronicle, OF Saturday, excluding
tabular details:
The gross shipments by rail for ten months
still show an excess over last season OF A.
sos bales, although the June movement Is
smaller than year ago, the total gross for
that month in 1882 being II ,02S bales, against
50,449 bales in June, 1881, or a decrease OF
942i bales. The net figures for the month
show an increase over last season, the total
being q lS4 bales this year, against l,l61
bales last wear, difference in favor OF The
present season OF 1907 bales. For the ten
months the net figures reach 464 1886 bales,
against sos, 100 bales during the correspond
ing period OF lSS0-Sl, a decrease this season
OF "a, 46S bales.
The port movement during the month OF
June, as our weekly statements have shown,
has been only about half that during the
same month OF 1881. The falling off up TO
the close of May was, as given in our last re-
port, 997 ,602 bales; the receipts Tor the
month this year have been 6S,6IJ bales,
against 13l 81 bales last year, or decrease
OF 6S ,l92 bales, making the total for the 10
months 060,7 94 bales less than for the cor
responding period of last season. The de
crease in foreign exports has been during
the month il ,S5I bales, and for the 10
months reaches 9O5 ,329 bales. Stocks have
been much reduced in June, the aggregate at
both the outport4 and the interior towns be-
ing now about $1,000 bales less than at the
same time in 1881. In this connection 1t
may be well to draw attention to the TACT
hat the interior town stocks on June som
were only about 1900 bales greater than
September ], 1881.

statements, We shall End that the portion OF

Cause of the suae Mise.

The present wonderful high water in the
Mississippi river at this point naturally
causes one to inquire what, without rain,
causes the "June rise?" The question can
be easily answered, though large majority
Of people do not know the cause. The east
ern boundary of the Rocky mountains is at
an altitude of some 5000 feet above the Mis-
souri, river. The plains between the noun
tains and the river are underlaid with clay
and sandstone at depth OF lew feet below
the qnicksand surface, through which the
water from the mountains, produced from
the melted snow, permeates and 6uds an out
let in its passage into the water-courses
emptying into the Missouri. In short, the
great Western plains are an immense water
shed, debouching into the Missouri river.
Thus, in June, the Platte, ksw, Cimarron
and Arkansas rivers have been known TO rise
bank full in few hours, and al time when
no rain had fallen 10 several weeks. So the
water in the Mississippi, now surging
muddy past St. Louis, has filtered lts way
through the underlying chalky soil-crust OF
the plains from the snow-clad Rockies. The
peculiarly of this underground irrigation in
the production of crops has been known bur
a few years. When the Union Pacific rail-
road ran up the Platte river 1t was not al
first supposed the land along that stream was
worth anything for agricultural purposes.
But the experience OF a dry season or two
demonstrated the fact that corn especially
developed more vigorously there than any
where else The "June rise, ;" which u ay not
be beneficial TO the middle and lower Missis-
sippi, ia nevertheless fruciifyipg power in
an agricultural way TO Western Kansas,
without which great portion OF that coun-
try in dry seasons would be comparatively
