New York, July ACTUAL business in
cotton goods is without material change,
but more bids for staple lines are notice
able where buyers endeavor, seldom sue
cessfully, to obtain some concession in
prices. All the leading lines of brown
and bleached cottons continue quite
steady, although not selling with any
freedom. Coarse colOred cottons are
dull. Business in print cloths in small
lots outside of Fall River at = 11-16 for

New York. July 7.-1he cotton market
made a tolerabjy steady start with prices
unchanged to ] point higher and then
ruled very quiet in the absence of news
of consequence although there was any
quantity of gossip i'm circulation purport-
ing to give information in regard to the
situation in Texas, but these reports
failed to exert any marked influence
upon the market. Business throughout
the forenoon ruled very quiet, but later
there was a rally of 3 to 4 points on
covering with no we'll defined reason for
the movement beyond natural timidty
on the part of shorts. in view of the sen
sational stories still in circulation. The
upward movement was retarded to a de
gree by the unsatisfactory character OF
the English cables. notably the indica-

The Pure
Food Question

Is not a new question with us.
We have been advocating pure
food for more than,a .ozen Years,
and we are reiCiced to see others
taxing il up. W. like to see men
of science taking hold of it and
showing people the necessity of
eating

Only Pure Food,

and demonstrating it by analyti-
cal and other scientific tests. and
we think that everybody should
read Prof. Wither's lecture on
this important question. We adj
vocate pure food buying and
pure food eating, in. the only
practical way by buying and sell
ing only that which is pure.
Our prices may not always be
the lowest, but they are as low
as the class of goods we deal i'm

The United States gunboat Petrol ar
rived late last evening with dispatches
from Brigadier-GeueralM VI. p. Miller TO
Major General Otis, announcing that
Iloilo had been taken by the combined
military and naval forces Saturday
morning.
General Miller. on receipt OF his in
structions from Manila, sent the native
ashore from the United
States transport St. Paul with COM
munication for the rebel Governor OF
Iloilo, calling upon him to surrender
within a time stated and warning him
not to make n demonstration in the
interval.
The rebels Immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their posi-
ton. Thereupon the Petrol fired two
warning guns, the rebels Immediately
opening fire upon her. The Petrol and
the Baltimore then bombarded the
town, which the rebels having set on
fire, Immediately evacuated.
The American troops were promptly
landed and eXtinguished the fires in
all cases OF foreign property. but not
before considerable damage had been
done. II is believed the enemy's loss
during the bombardment was heavy,
but no American casualties are re
ported.

In me, for the first business deal I ever
made was speculation pure and sim

1t was when 1 was a boy at home
There was an auction store in the town
and l used to go there sometimes and
listen to the auctioneer. One day I no.
tced lot of soap. 1t was the same
kind of soap we used at home and we
bought it from a grocer around the cor
ner. 1t occurred to me that l might
De able to make some money out of
that soap. l went around to the grocer
and asked him how much he paid for
that kind OF soap. He told me cents
a pound. | asked him If he would buy
some from me for s, and he said he
would So / hung around the auction
room until the soap was put in. There
was considerable bidding, and I finally
bought the lot of it for 6 cents pound.
After they had asked my name and
had sung out with my boyish voice,
was very much frightened. l ran around

But that was many years ago. I have
made the bulk of my fortune out Of
street rail ways, as 1 suppose everybody
knows 1t Is business I have been in
nearly all of my business life, and 1 think
that is one of the few things 1 under

and have had holdings in them almost
ever since. When I came to Chicago
/ sold out my street railway stocks in
the East and devoted my time entirely
to stock and grain commission bust
ness. l had noticed in New York that
although every steamer was bringing
gold to this side from Europe, the rate
of money still kept up, and I knew that
there had been enough imported to make
a showing. Thoughtfully made an in
vestigation and l found that 1t was all
