New York, September 1.-THE cotton
market made q steady start at unchanged
prices to an advance of l point. but after
a small furry of activity around the open-
ing, lapsed into a nerveless condition from
which condition it did not rally.
The execution of a few outside orders
found room operators in control but no
other purpose in view but to even up ac-
counts, preparatory to an untrammeled
Sunday interval Aside from the regula-
ton factors there was nothing in news on
which to found new ideas. The Liverpool
market was tame, crop data revealed no
change of consequence in the crop condi-
ton, the weather south remained dry and
hot. and the crop movement continued ON a
vigorous scale.
The market for spot cotton closed quiet
with prices unchanged on basis of 67s for
middling nplands and 69s for mlddling gulf.

Nowrojee, looks after the engines and mach
inery of the mill. Lately the machinery has
not been working we'll, and the engine in par

native engineers seem to have got it into their
heads that the engines were really driven by
god which took the form of steam. When
it went wrong they thought the god was
angry and needed propitiating by the sacrifice

gang had Just been discussing the vagaries of
the engine and the necessity for offering

Govndah. Others swung open the furnace
door and the unfortunate man was crammed
inside, head first They had to loose their
hold of his body in order to shut the furnace
door, whereupon Govindah, who was very
powerful man, managed to get out and free
himself. He was trenzied with pain and fear,
and had sustained CHASTITY injuries. The
engineers did not make second attempt to
thrust him IN the furnace, and he crawled
away to his hut.

HOPES THE WAR Is OVER.

Washington, May 2..-Presi-
dent Mckinley talked with his
official callers before the Cabinet
meeting today about the prospects
of peace in the Philippines. 1t
is believed some advices from
General Otis have been received,
enlarging upon the propositions
which were submitted by the
Filipino delegation, which have
not yet been made public and
which give the officials additional
information concerning the situa-
ton. The President expressed
the opinion that the end was in
sight and said he believed that
the Filipinos will not hold out
much longer. He regards the con-
diiions as most hopeful. The fact
that negotiations for peace are in
progress has stopped all talk of
calling out the $4,000 additional
volunteers.
