Spontaneous Combustion Of Hay.
Hardly a week passes that q case Of
spontaneous combustion of hsystscks is
not cbronicled in the newspapers. The
hay Is imperfectly cured before it is
stacked and when several hundred tons
are piled up the damp hay heats and COM
bustion results. AS q rule the hay has
been piled in too large stacks in the field
and while the outside Of the stack Is cured
by the sun the inside is not and goes to
the stack 10 q half green state. This can
be obviated by raking in lighter rows and
punching with the fork instead Of heaping
in massive piles with the horse rake. One
good fork full laid up against another
loosely will enable the air to circulate we'll
and hay thus cured will be we'll cured. In
stacking large stacks we would suggest
placing three-qusrter inch gaspipe
through the center Of the stack at inter
walls Of q dozen feet apart and II the tenn
perature Of the hay rises sbnormslly 1t
can be asocrtained by one person holding
the hand in front Of one end while an
other blows through this pipe. A good
many hay fires are laid to incendiarism
which are really the result of spontaneous
combustion .-Silver State.

but rallied and advanced, closing at net
firm and the sales Az, 300 bales.
Today's features: To describe today's
speculation as excited would be putting 1t
mildly In fact the excitement was a per-
feet pandemonium at times. OF course it
had been expected that Liverpool would
make some response to the late advance
here, but the sharp rise in that market to-
day was more than the most radical bull
had hoped for. Then, too, the weekly gov
for 1t confirmed unofficial reports of damage
by drought and excessive heat, while to-
day fresh reports were received Indeed,
there were damage reports galore. So what
wonder then that prices shot up like a
rocket There was a reaction shortly after
the opening but this loss was supposedly
recovered and once more prices scared, and
the last figures were near the top prices OF
the day.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


New York, Aug. -(Special)-Ths was
the widest day the cotton market has seen
for a long time. January opened at 7.31, re-
ceded to 721, then advanced to 1862 and
closed at 755Q756, with the tone firm. The
trade now recognizes the fact, of the truth
of which we have felt satisfied for ten days
past, that the crop is badly hurt, and the
attempts of a host of shorts to cover stimuli
taneously caused the remarkable advance of
today, but the rise that has taken place of
nearly cent and half a pound from the
lowest discounts a deal of damage, and the
purchase of nearly half a million bales to-
day has largely reduced the short interest
so that at the present moment we can hard
ly advise buying. The new cotton is pouring
in with freedom altogether without prece-
dent so early in August, and the pressure of
this cotton upon the market is sure to
make itself felt Upon any further advance
we favor selling for turn.

New York, Aug. 5.-The continued activi-

ket is a, severe tax upon the firmness of sell
lers despite the supporting influence of the
severe curtaiment of production, and there
are reports current of some weakness
This weakness Is not, however, general
feature, and is so confined as to have little
bearing upon all around conditions beyond
the fact that it furnishes buyers with an
argument in business they endeavor to pros
ecute in other quarters. Today's operations
at first hands have again been quite mod

periences show more buyers at work In Sc
