Weekly Mnrket Revie,r.

In the cotton market the week has been
very dun and uninteresting trading being
light and fluctuations small. The general
tendency was toward higher prices, but
only small net gain was establ s he'd, as
every advance would be quickly followed
by a reaction. Closing prices are 4Q6
points higher than a week ago; August
$3.50. Nearby positions showed a little
more advance. Liverpool continues to
maintain a sitter front than New York.
and appears ready TO support an upward
move, but New York hangs fire. AS was
expected, the movement showed a moder-
ate increase, the Northern overland be-
ing larger, on account of arrival of de-
layed shipments. Larger crop estimates
are being generally abandoned: few now
look for as much as 100000 bales, and
some not over 1O,5O0,OO0 The weather was
somewhat more favorable for crop prepa-
rations, but work is very backward. and
there are more evidences of a reduced
prospective acreage. The shorts in New
York have been keeping very quiet, but
when they do go in to cover prices Will
advance easily.
Not much was done in grain and pro-
visions. After a duh week wheat closed
1c lower; May 725sc. The government re-
port announced considerable damage to
the growing winter wheat crop from Sc
we're cold, but caused no firmness, being
probably no worse than had been already
discounted. The reports of March and
April will be much more influential, as
actual conditions can be more accurately
reported. For some time longer, and until
something new developes only moderate
fluctuations are to be expected. In the
mean time, it must be remembered that
cereals are now higher, comparatively
than any other great speculative staples
Provisions took a slightly weaker tone
late In the week, ribs closing 1Oc lower, al
S475. Heavy stocks are the main depress-
ing factor, but prices are low, and size
of stocks will not long stand in the way
of the regular annual advance. Purchases
now will probably pay good profits.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
March contains three special articles on
three topics which are now receiving a
large share of popular atten-
ton. They are the Nicara-
qua canal, the questions of poly
gamy, and the position of Gomez in Cuba.
Each of these articles-and as matter of
fact about all of the others in the sdi-
tion-is richly illustrated. The article on
polygamy is from the pen of the distin-
guished and versatile editor of the maya
zine Mrs. Leslie, and considers the head
and front of the Mormon offending"
Thomas r. Dawley's article, Campaign
ing With Gomez" is a narrative of his
torical events well calculated to thrill the
reader. The magazine is now publishing
a series of articles on american Women
in Action" The installment for this
month tells of Women in Wall Street"

considered together. Price 10 cents. Frank

ASSAULT ON THE MAYOR.
Mayor Cassidy Attacked by Miss
Minnie Crawford.

A little after nine O'Clock, yesterday
morning, Miss Mime Crawford, the
milliner, met Mayor Cassidy on the
sidewalk in front of the Case Drug
Store, and assaulted him with cow
hide. She struck him five or six blows
with the cowhide, across the shoulder
Ind back, the Mayor attempted to
shield himself by turning his head
away, and tried to seize the rawhide
with his left hand. Failing to do this,
he turned and ran into the Case Drug
Store, and Miss Crawford followed him
into the store, on the run, white with
rage.
She there struck him again, several
times, he trying only to avert her
blows. Mr.. Fawcett and Mr.. Hunter
ran up and seized her arms, and took
away her whip, and thus ended the un-
fortunate affray.
The assault was the result of the
Carson trial. Miss Crawford claiming
that her character had been assailed
and that she had previously suffered by
being connected with the affair; but
whatever her grounds for feeling ag-
grieved, the Mayor had simply per-
formed an unpleasant duty that he
owed to the community in making the
arrest in the Carson case, and the blame
did not rest with him.
1t is very unfortunate therefore that
he should have been so assailed, and
the community will sustain him.
