New York, June 7.-The dry goods mar: ket conditions are generally favorable in their tendency. There is a movement for the cleaning up of stocks, which seems to be met by buyers in way which shows increased confidence.
 Staple cottons show more firmness than heretofore. The sale of brown goods for domestic markets have been heavier. Prints are unchanged. Print cloths are again quiet at Pc for extras.

New York Cotton Market.

New York June 1.-The local crowd had today's cotton market pretty much to themselves, but in the absence of important news. transactions were indifferent and purposeless. Early in the afternoon there was some liquidation and July and Au- gust contracts and reinvestment in the new crop positions, more especially October Aside from this trading throughout the ses- sion was featureless and of scalping na- ture. The close was dull and steady at a net loss of to points.

The Need OF More Men for the Navy.

Congress might we'll. in view of exist
ment of considerably larger number
of men by the navy department than is
now permitted by law. 1t was, ma
urally, expected that the disaster to
the Maine would make new enlistments
somewhat slow. but instead it seemed
rather to stimulate them. There was
a perfect rush of applications. and, in
4 very short time the places made
vacant by the terrible disaster in the
harbor of Havana were all filled. 1t is
gratifying to note the report that the
men accepted are of the very best ma .
teraL There should be a high stan
dard for the personnel of the Ameri-
can navy in the future as there has
been in the past, and. with it. the pco-
pie of this country may rest assure
that the honor of our country and the
prestige of "Old Glory" will continue
to he nobly maintained upon the
water.
1t is not IA fact which the American
peopl" can contemplate with much
PATIENCE at this time that the compile
ment of enlisted men permitted by law
in the navy does not admit of all the
ships of our navy being in commission
at no. l.,
IN altogether creditable fact for :,
great and prosperous country like ours
At the present time. while the war
ships in service are provided with full
crews, such fine ships as the Mime
apolis. Columbia and several Others,
either undergoing repairs or in reserve,
are entirely without crews, and. under

foolish policy, could only be manned by

Congress should promptly authorize a
considerable increase in the force
available for naval service. However
good material may be enlisted, it re-
uuires time, and drill. and experience,
to mould them into well disciplined
and efficient force. Since the disaster
to the Maine messages volunteering for
the navy have poured in upon the navy
department at Washington in very
large numbers. Commander Hawley is
confident that if 10000 were needed for
naval duty within a week they could
be enrolled as fast as examined
There appears to be good reason in
the present outlook for a material in
crease in our naval force, and it is
certainly to be hoped that Congress
may authorize ii.

Premonitions OF Lincolns Fate.

You misunderstood me in one thing
said about the United States marshals at
Lincoln inauguration" said ex-Govcr-
nor Tom Osbornsto Topics yesterday
You made me say that at the meeting
of marshals at Ward Lannon's house no
one expressed Il fear that Lincoln might
be assassinated. On the contrary. there
was considerable talk about asSassina-
ton. The error is ! so trihnG that it
would not be worth while correcting ex-
cept that it involves a curious circum-
stance Along about 1864 there was Il
great deal of talk In the newspapers
about airguns. and people had gained an
exa ggerated idea of their deadiness. At
the meeting at Lannon's house We talked
for some time about the possibility Of
some one shooting Lincoln with an air.
gun as he proceeded toward the capitol
As remember now, there were several
who believed that i bullet might he fired
into the President by some one concealed
in the second story of one of the houses.
and the deed would be done so noiselessly
that the assassin could not be located.
