The Iron Market. Birmingham, Feb. SS-The following are the latest quotations on iron:

By Private Wire to T. c. Hewlett, Agt.
 New York. Feb. 23.-While we were en- joying a holiday the Liverpool cotton mar ket. experienced a spasm of strength and activity. Prices from that center at the opening here today showed a gain of Sla0 Az points since Monday. Local shorts were driven to cover and in their anxiety to close their accounts they bid the market up 9 to 12 points at the start and following the call there was another advance of to 8 points, The advance invited profit talk ing by the less confident longs and the net gain was soon reduced to to. Il points. Both New Orleans and Liverpool represent tatives executed liberal buying orders and this contributed materially to the general stability of the market and the mainten- aapce of values during the greater part of the session. Estimates of 25,0o0 to 26, 100 bales for yesterday and 20,000 to .OO0 Tor today's port receipts were considered as onl moderate. Southern spot markets were privately reported as hardening on re- i1ewed activity of exporters. The advance in the English market was attributed 10 tne more peaceful turn of affairs between France and England regarding the Nlger- Soudan controversy.

Cotton Letter

New York Feb. 2s.-To the surprise of the trade in Liverpool the cotton market de- veloped considerable activity over our holi- day and prices there were 4-64th higher than on Monday. when this market opened Today the advance there was attributed to an improved political outlook in Europe and to scarcity of offerings in the south. The rise caught the shorts mapping and they were liberal buyers at the opening here at an advance of from 8 to 12 points, After the opening commission houses were free sellers to hquidate, and prices eased. May opened at 6.12, advanced to 6.13, de- clined slowly to sos and closed at that figure, with the tone of the market quiet. The movement is somewhat more moderate and the southern markets are firm. The stubbornness of the market is gaining cot ton many friends The uncertainty con- cerning the outcome of the Maine dlsas- ter continues to unsettle confidence.

Dry Goods

New York, Feb. 2s.LThe outlook in the dry goods market is very bright today Operators in both the first hand and job ping markets are kept busy looking after visiting buyers who are now here in large numbers. Mail orders in all lines were reported excellent. The day was one cal culated to put sellers in the best of hu- nor, and in the main it did so. The price sitpation in all lines of cotton goods, par ticularly in staple cottons, is a very strong one.

which was displayed by higher London cables at the opening this morning was looked upon as an encouraging feature and resulted in a higher opening for our mar ket, and during the first half hour the whole list was fairly strong. After this all sorts of semi-ofiicial rumors were afioat as regards the Cuban trouble. It was stated on one exchange that Consul Lee had notified American residents that 1t would be advisable for them to leave for the present This was taken as evidence that the situation was growing more seri- ous, and further liquidation in stocks fol- lowed. The situation Is such that all legit- mate influences that are naturally bullish on the market are ignored and feverish, panicly condition prevails. The market should be watched closely, as it will be controlled by the influences at present.

Grain Letter

By Paine, Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, Feb. 23-Cabies reported foreign markets quiet and unchanged. Opening in Chicago was from 1-2 to l cent decline from Mondays close. Consid- erable realizing was in evidence during the early part of the session; demand was moderate A prominent bear sold quite freely. Market was comparatively dull and incvlined to be weak. The bul crowd ap- parently remained out of the market. Flue- tuations were more regular than for sew era1 days and confined with a range Of about 1 cent. St. Louis and New York sent moderate buying orders, which added some frmness 10 the market. Very little attention is given continued war talk, which no doubt will be confined to the press During the latter part of the ses- sion demand improved by short covering, final sales being at LOS for May. Coarse grains were strong under influence of good demand for export. Provisions opened weak but improved during the latter part of the session

 Birmingham, Feb. 23.-Iiverpool sent a higher market yesterday. which was not only sustained today but showed further improvement of to points. There are several arguments to account for this strength. The principal one being that in case of war it is a good thing to rush over all spots possible before maritime inter ferences The opening here was to 12 points over Mondays closing. The shorts were in no way responsible for the strength. foreign houses being the actual buyers. There was some profit taking by local crowd buyers of last week, but prices are well, held at the close. Estimated re- ceipts, 1900. are not much over last year. The local crowd are awaiting develop ments.s

100000 FIRE.

Winooski, VT, January Fire broke
out about o'clock this afternoon In the
manufacturing centre of this village and
ragged for several hours, destroying prop.
erty estimated to be worth more than
800, 900. It was the most disastrous con-
fiagration the town has had since the big
blaze ir 1891, when 81, SEQ, 600 worth of
property was swept out Of existence. The
fire tonight was caused by a defective
stove in the novelty shop in the rear Of
Mason & Co.'s wood working establish
ment.
The adjoining machine shops of Ed
wards, Stevens & Co., caught fire and are
total wreck. The saw mill of S. ii.
Newton. together with thousands of feet
OF lumber in the mill yard and several
Offices and tenements, were also eaten up
by the flames.
Mason u Co., estimate their loss at
$4,000 on buildings. and $4,000 on stock
and machinery. S. FL. Newtons loss will
be $4,000, and that of Edwards, Stevens
& Co., about $25, 0co All of the sufferers
are fully insured, but the amount of in
suranoe cannot be accurately stated to-
night. The fire will throw over $50 famiaa
lies out OF employment
