1HE NASHVILLE AMERICAN
Damaged by Fire to the Amount of S1O,-
OOO-Narrow Escape OF the Compos-
itors-Probably Incendiary.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. ia fire start
ing at $50 tonight very badly damaged the
American building, infiicting loss
of about $4,000, fully covered by
insurance. The fire was probably in
cendiary. It was discovered in
the hall on the first floor at the alley way
entrance and the flames were mounting
nearly to the second floor An alarm was
instantly given to the printers In the fourth
floor, some of whom escaped by the
editorial rooms The flames cut
OF the escape of the others by the stair
case and fully twenty men took to the fire
escape. The lack of prompt ladder con-
nection kept them on the fire es-
cape until the flames were roaring
around them in every direction. The
last men out were badly burned. The
injuries of M. o. Brooks and Fl. w. Phelps
were very serious, though it is hoped not
fatal ]. X. Muirhead was also badly
burned. The foreman, Edward Buchanan,
escaped from the front window by rope
which was kept for such emergency. S. G..
Shearon, who with Buchanan was caught
by the flames before getting to the fire
escape, got out through the roof, made his
way to the roof of the Y. NJ. c. A build
ing and was rescued after the fire. The
composition rooms, the telegraph rooms,
the Office of the United Press
and the Office of the Associated Press
were all Quilted. The telegraph operators
escaped. The editorial rooms were dam
aged only by water, and the press room
very Slightly. The paper will appear as
usual Tomorrow.

The Cotton Report.

| Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS. La, Oct. 13.-Atwood,
| Violet 4 Co. say:
| Eutures-We are again lower by 10 points
| to-day, and our advices from New York are
| that the long interest looks tired. Another
| of our correspondents there. however, be-
! ieves in better market, but at the moment
we hardly see where any buying strength
can come from, as there is no encourage
ment to push the market, and the increas-
ing supplies encourage the shorts to hold on
to what they have, even though they do not
sell more.
1t looks as though actual cotton would
have TO reach basis that it has not yet ars
rived at before the continent and LIVERPOOL
will take hold of it actively, and until then
we cannot look for any material advance
We should have, however, an improvement
if any resulted from covering by the shorts,
and we are inclined TO buy, as we said yes
terday, on depressions only for quick
turn.
This we regard as the more conservative
course. However, SO much depends upon
Liverpool that opinions either for or against
the market may change it according as that
market becomes active or weak. fear
Liverpool is letting too much cotton stay
on this side to get anything more than 10 or
l5points advance. This we look for, but it
may not materialize. Liverpool closes
barely steady at a loss of to points, and
New York is 8 points lower.
The Dort movement to-day is e, 900 bales
against 63,0o0 oales last year, while receipts
here tomorrow are estimated at 25.0O0
bales against 10000 bales last year. New
York wires US the market is better after
the close tn ere. Liverpool has dropped
down 10 small sales again, which to-day
were 5000 bales. In some of our reports
yesterday the types made US say that the
price OF New York exchange here was
equivalent to 4 of per cent, which was an
error on Its face. We now make the cor
rection.
Spots closed quiet and easy. Sales, 81, 900
bales Quotations-Good middling and be-
low Lice and down; middling fair un-
changed.
r o. b. sales 800 bales. The movement
is still restricted by the unwilllngness of
the interior 10 meet the decline, together
with an unfavorable exchange market. The
demand IS principally for Liverpool good

operators.

A LITTLE TOO SLOW.
The New Sugar Bounty Law Interiors;
Seriously With the Marketing
of the Crop.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette
New ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 13.-Tte new
sugar bounty law has been found to work
very badly here so far and to interfere
seriously with the marketing of the crop
The sugar is already arriving in consider
able quantities, for as there are no i'm
porters or weighers yet in the coun-
try. the planters have shipped their
sugar to New Orleans to be weighed and
inspected here. The local officials are not
ready for work, and the whole system is so
slow and tedious that under the present
regulations it will take until next summer
to arrange the bounty. In the meanwhile
the planters are unable to sell their goods
until the matter of bounty is settled The
delay has caused complete deadlock in the
sugar trade, and threatens to cause
great deal of injury. a meeting of
the sugar exchange was held to-day to con-
slider the matter and conference with the
officials of the internal revenue bureau was
determined by which changes will be made
IN the regulations SO as to expedite the work
of inspection.

the bank of England did not raise the rate
Of discount was probably due to desire to
keep foreign money markets free of dis
turbance during the placing of the Russian
loan.
The home monetary situation is satisfac-
tory. This weeks bank statement will be
made on rising averages, and ought there
fore to be favorable one. Owing to the
prudent treasury management and expan-
sion in the circulation, together with plenti-
full gold import and the strong position of
the associated banks, there is little pros
pect of extreme stringency in money.
Enough and to spare seems probable for
crop and trade requirements, though the de-
mand from the latter quarter may subse-
quently become urgent enough to stiffen
rates and so affect speculation. When
stocks are active there is always an attempt
to manipulate money; but we do not antici-
pate any natural stringency for some
weeks to come. Earnings continue to show
handsome gains, both net and gross; and,
altogether, the railroad future is as briShe
as it well could be. HENRY .GA
