Cotton Letter

There was nothing encouraging for the bulls in the Liverpool cables. Sales only 1000 and futures in poor demand. Reports from cotton states showed good growing condition, and cotton very forwaro. TTIhis combination took the heart out of the longs in August and liquidation com menced at first call and continued through out the day with declines ranging from seven to eight points, with August the weakest. There is little in sight to base advances upon and we believe the sagg ng market will continue to July 27th, when August contracts will be either all rung up or transferred to later options Closing prices were about lowest of the day

Paine, Murphy < Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, July 1-There were great expectations in the market this morn ing, but in the absence of any decided news and rumors of possible complications re- garding the sending of Watson's fleet to Spain caused caution and the market drift ed into professionalism and dullness, with quotations almost unchanged for hours. This continued until after the clearing hour, when good buying was noticed Tn Metropolitan, and this stock moved up l per cent. The balance of the market con- tinued stagnant and the closing prices showed very little change. The local crowd are still bearish on Sugar, expecting the opposition to cut prices which will anect the income of the Trust. w, cannot advlse selling this stock, notwithstanding. The market is in position to soon show some good movements, and we are inched toward advising purchases.

Dry G oods.

New York, July 21--Dry goods market: Warm weather has helped the sale of strict ly seasonable goods in cotton lines during the last two days. The mail orders and re- ordeis have shown a slight increase in size and number Buyers are still very scarce. Jobpers report general good results. Road statesmen have been doing well. Staple cot- tons still remain the dull spot in the mar ket. Prin cloths are firm. Extras are quoted at cents, and odd goods on the same basis. Prints show a firm and fairly active market. Fall fances have sold fairly well, and staples show slight general gain in interest. Ginghams are still strong and active in all grades, but dress and dress tsaple styles show the best actual results.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, July 2.-The cotton market t--iay showed an increase it. volume of busi- ness but this was at the expense of prices, as 1t resulted chiefly from desire to liqui- date August contracts, which broke Il points and dragged the rest of the list off 6Q9 points. Subsequently the market rallied partially on covering and closed steady at a net loss of 3@S points. The underlying cause of weakness here is the tendency to believe that the crop is too large to be even handled at present low prices, which spec ulation is offering no competition agalnsI consumers while the latter class of buyers see no reason to anticipate wants, with advices from the cotton belt so generally favorable. The volume Of transactions IS not a matter of record, the reporting or transactions having been discontinued by the exchange It was easy to see, now ever that the business was more actiVe to- day than it has been for some time past.

CAUSES OF DELAY
Rival Organizations of Veterans Could
Not Readily Agree

Had it not been for lack Of management
and system, which, in part, can be con.
doned for lack of time for explicit and de-
tailed understanding, and but for the petty
chickering's and squabblings of men oi
matured years, veterans of the civil wa-
the parade and demonstration yesterday
would have been an event altogether COM
plete and satisfactory. AS it was, 1t was
magnificent in its extensiveness, though
thousands did not get glimpse of it, who
waited for hours on Spring street and it's
numerous cross streets, in expectation that
parts of it would pass there as announced
Firstly, Main street w<s not half wide
enough for rendezvous for the number Of
men who were told to congregate there,
and then, in addition to the prospective
paraders. there were hundreds in the street
and on the sidewalks as spectators, who
were in the way of the men on business
Then, conductors of cars running on Spring
street, presumably acting under instruc..
tions from headquarters, would not stop
their cars to make way for the men to
march to the armory by this thorough
fare.
This caused a change of ARRANGEMENTS
made night before last, and the mass of
people gathered there saw but few strag-
Cling squads of men. They shifted about
to other places, with similar result, see
ing but bit here and bit there, mean
while losing the vantage place they had
gotten up early to secure and held patient
ly and late.
Then, as already intimated, there was
what might be graciously termed a mis-
understanding between the National Vet
eran reserve and the Army and Navy
league. According to original intention, all
the veterans of the CITY, regardless of the
lodge or organization with which they af-
filiated, were to march together directly
In front Of the departing soldiers They
were to be considered as veterans simply
and not as members of any particular
association of men.
General Bouton says that 1t was tacitly
agreed between them that the National
Veteran reserve, of which he is the presi-
dent, should Immediately precede the
Seventh regiment. However, when the line
was ready to FORM he says Colonel Brooker
of the Army and Navy league refused to
take any other position but that of honora-
Bile escort.
Time and again the line started to march
and as promptly was it halted because
these veterans could not settle their griev-
ance. AS former soldiers and as men who
I had seen actual military service, their IN.
stincts forbade them giving in, one to the
other. And there they stood arguing, while
one thousand men waited In line for few
more signals to proceed, waiting for the
inevitable and final one that would see
| them making some progress towards River
station, yet so far off.
Be it remembered that the sun at this
hour was shining fiercely down upon
throngs of closely and compactly packed
masses of humanity that sweltered under
its savage rays. Fortunately, the ma
jority OF the women on-lookers were at
tired in garments betting the weather
but hundreds Of unbrellaless men and boys

decorated their hats and muskets and belt

| By 8 o'clock there was a small crowf
gathered about the cars. The Santa An.
| boys got in on the regular train and wen,
to the depot, and there were shown tc
| their cars. The Pasadena company ar.
rived on the early Southern Pacific train
and Immediately were transferred to their
cars on the first section. The San Diego
company also took possession of its cars
quite early, the camp luggage being speed
lily loaded. The cars were open to every
body, and the crowd soon took advantage
of this opportunity of seeing the soldier as
he looked, ready to start to the front
By $50 o'clock all of the decorating had
been completed. and by this time the COM
panies from the outside towns arrived.
Their train had been made up at San Ber-
nardino, and the eight cars were divided
among the four companies, so the boys
did not at first have as much room as
those In the first section. Company D
of Pomona occupied the first two coaches,
Company M of Riverside the next two
Company g of Redlands the next two
and Company X the last two. Two extra
coaches and a caboose were coupled on to
this section before 1t left, so the boys were
given a little more room, and theirs was
the second largest train that left here. The
Riverside company had long sign ex-
tending the entire length of it's cars an
nouncing who the occupants were. The
following sign also took in the entire length
of the coach: Remember the Maine. Sue.

There were festooiIs on the outside Of sev-

Section three consisted of twelve cars, In
cluding a baggage car. In the first three
coaches were the members of Company B
from San Diego. In the two next were
the members of Company F from this city,
then the boys of Company A. then those in
Company C, with a car untitled, and last
the Pullman with the officers. The line
officers of the various companies remained
in the coaches with their men, anu there
was major in charge Of each of the Sec
tions.
Probably the gayest part of the three |
trains were the engines. The knights of |
the throttle can always be depended upon |
to do their share towards making a cele- |
bration a success, and all three of the en-
gines were decorated gaily with flags and |
fowers. Engine No. 1920 pulled the first |
section. Engineer Shepardson was at the |
throttle, Fireman Fetheroff in the cab with |
him, while Conductor Bouchard managed |
the rest of the train. His crew consisted of
Brakemen Rogers, Prince and Wills Sec

Engineer Bellou and Fireman Comfy were

pulled the last section. with Engineer Ben
,ing and Fireman Woods in the cab, and
Conductor CARRIER and Brakemen Harmon,
and Mahoney on the train.
1t was about 12 o'clock when a deafening
5olley of whistles from dozen engines in
he yard announced that the parade was
approaching, and then there was a rush
