RALEIGH COTTON MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS & co.'s LETTER.


New York, June Especially -
Manchester and the continent continue
to buy cotton freely, their takings to-
day being the largest for many months
and advanced the Liverpool market
sharply III face Of the apathy in Amel-
lea. Locally the market fails TO re-
spond either to good or bad influences
and remains quiet at practically I'M
changed prices. The feeling through
ont the cotton belt is exceptionally
bearish upon the market, based upon
the crop prospects, but the short in
terest for outside accounts is SO large
that the trade hesitates to remain any
longer on that side because of the
possibility OF crop damage before the
end of the season. In other words the
conditions given by the bureau is so
nearly perfect that there is little room
for Improvement, while the crop which
promises the best in June, is usually
seriously reduced in condition before
gathered. Although the market closes
steady at about the prices of the day
the outside interests expect lower
Liverpool in the morning, based upon
the expected favorable weather report
in the Chronicle. The continued ex-
port to the continent may be the factor
which will sustain the activity for cot
ton in Liverpool, which is now the
cheapest market

Couldn't Break His Neck.

San BERyARDINo, CAL, October 13.-H. A.
Wood, bridge man in the employ of the
Santa BE Railway, had most remarkable
escape from death near San Bernardino few
days ago, and the accident was in every way
peculiar one, Wood fell distance of
nearly forty feet, and would certainly have
been dashed 10 pieces but for the fact that as
he fell through the air his chin caught over q
guyrope and he was turned a complete somer-
sault, and he seems to have suffered no seri-
Gus effects, except that his neck feels some
what stretched, and he is otherwise strained
Wood was working with gang of men at
the bridge over Lyle creek, between San
edge of the bridge he lost his balance and
over he went. 1t so happened that at the
spot where he fell pile Of rock lies under
the bridge, and Wood was falling straight
toward it. But the guyrope saved him. 1t
was stretched away from a derrick to sup
port below, and was not drawn taut, the re-
suit being that when Woods chin caught over
it the rope at first gave way a little and then,
tightening, turned him completely over and
tossed him to one side, and he landed upright
The other workmen hurried to where he
was, and from their examination they Judged
that no bones were broken, but made ready
to bring Wood TO San Rernardino, and DR.. j.
n. Baylis was summoned. Farther than the
bruising and the effects of the shock, he could
discover nothing in the way ofinjury. Woods
neck is badly swollen and is pulled out even
with his chin, but the marvel of it is that his
neck was not broken by the force of the fall,
he having dropped much farther than is al
lowed on the scaffold of the condemned.
