SEVERAL BAD STARTS.
Fitzgerald at New Orleans Dis
f,upuishcs Himself.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, February A.
II is very doubtful II another such ex-
libition OF starting will ever be wit
messed by race-goers as was given by
Starter Fitzgerald this afternoon. He
started off badly i'm the first race, gave
a fair start in the second. and a bad
one in the third: hut in the handicap
he eclipsed all his previous bad work
by giving one OF the most w-etched
starts ever made. Birdcatcher who car
ried nearly all the wise money, was at
the seventy-yard pole. while George w.
Dockstadcr and one or TWO others were

Blrdcatcher raced up 10 the field. but
on account OF closing up the gap tired
badly i'm the stretch. and was unplaced.
with anything like a start not one Of
the first three could have been placed.
The first race was taken by Elsie Fer
e1lson. who got the best Of the bad start,
and won all the way. Parmesan demon
strated that he was a good horse by
giving away weight and winning the
2-year-old race, with OEeye. who got
off badly.
Evanesca, thanks to Thorpes vigorous
riding, took the third. although Fannie Ro-
wena looked a winner in the stretch.

The Dry-Goods Market.

NEW YORK, February i.-The Journal
OF Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, in
its weekly review OF the dry-goods mar
ket, says:
Tha week closes with the dry-goods
market presenting but little change in
material conditions from week ago,
there having been no change OF impor-
tance In the outside influences which
are so largely governing H.
Buyers have maintained their attitude
OF reserve. and Ia staple cotton goods
have rarely shown a disposition to pro-
vide beyond near requirements, whilst
sellers, recognizing the futility OF en-
deavors to break down that reserve. have
seldom made unsolicited oyertures entail
ing breaks in prices beyond what they
were prepared to accomplish week ago.
The business transacted In cotton dress
fabrics has been moderate, and without
material alteration In values.
The woollel and worsted goods depart
ments have also failed to disclose any
change In values.

facts are made very evident by last
weeks statement of east-bound ship
ments:
Those by the Newport News route
suffered a falling Off. and large tonnage
OF export corn went east via
Columbus and Norfolk. using the Erie
and Norfolk and Western railroads. Ac-
cording TO the Board OF Trade state
ment. the Erie railroad took east 7,iT
tons Of export corn. which II turned over
to the Norfolk and Western road at
Columbus, o.. something like 800 cars.
Ii was reported that the additional
advantage OF the 3-cents dlfferential rate
over New York y influencing traffic OF
this nature by the route mentioned.
Another fact that has its effect Is that
al Norfolk the Norfolk and Western owns
an elevator, and elevator charges are per-

MEXICO AND ATLANTA.
No Attachments on the Formers Ex-
hfbit Mt the Fair.

ATLANTA, GA, February 4-The
statement having been printed that at
tachments were made upon the Mexican
exhibit at the late Cotton States and In
ternationai Exposition. II Is necessary
TO say that they were untrue In fact. The
Mexican exhibit was not attached. and
Mexican-Commiss.oner Signor Gonzales
was served with no legal papers Of any
character.
1t seems that shortly after the opening
OF the exposition the Government Of
Mexico decided to be represented While
the exposition was In progress. and be-
fore the Mexican exhibit had taken full
shape, Commissioner Gonzales concluded
that he would like to give 1t much
wider scope. Several citizens offered him
the money with which to proceed. with
out having to walt for an appropriation
from the Mexican Government. After the
exposition was oyer the gentlemen who
