New York, June 20.-Hubbard Bros &,

WauchuIa,s Orange Crop.

The orange crop tributary to Wauchula
and which will be shipped from that point
is estimated to exceed $1,000 boxes. Two
large packing houses have been contracted
for which, in addition to those already es-
tablshed, will furnish proper facilities for
handling the coming orange and grapefruit
crop, which will be the heaviest in the his
tory of this section. A stock company
composed of the business men of Wau-
chula, has been formed and will build at
once a hotel and several cottages for rent
The company will also look after the SAN
itary condition of the town, and already
has a force of men at work on the sewer
age. Having shown their faith in the flu
ture of their town, and having the requi-
site enterprise, backed by ample means,
Wauchula Is coming to the front at rate
never before attained in its history.

BIG JUMP IN COTTON FUTURES.
MARKET CLOSES AT AN ADVANCE
OF 10 TO 80 POINTS.

Shorts Frightened Early In the Ses-
sion by Firm Liverpool Advices
and Continued Reports of Rain
Throughout the Cotton Belt.
Wheat and Flour Advancing.
Spirits TurTentine Firm at Al
Cents-Rosins Firm and Unchang-
ed-LOcaI and Te1eGraphic Mar
kets.
Morning News Office, June 20.-The in
terest in commercial circles to-day was
centered in the advances in wheat and
cotton, which closed at gains far above
the expectations of the most conservative
traders. July wheat sold up to $3.50. a
gain of 324c above Tuesdays closing. Cot
ton caught the effect of a powerful bull
movement after the midday trading which
carried prices skyward, the closing being
steady al a gain of 16 to 80 points.
The main factors behind the advance in
cotton were the firm Liverpool advices,
and continued reports OF excessive wet
weather in the cotton belt. After shorts
took their first fright, they went with a
rush, and the most intense excitement
prevailed on Change. The reports say
the bull movement attracted the atten-
ton Of influential interests, who became
heavy buyers Of cotton. Toward the
closing the lessening of bull pressure led
shorts to turn for a reaction to regain
some of their losses. Conservative esti-
mates place the days transactions at a
million bales.
The more the effect of the drought is
realized the higher the price of wheat
goes. 1t seems to be generally understood
that the crop in Michigan and the Da-
kotas is practical failure, while in In
diana and Illinois the yield is sure to be
leSsened The jump in the futures mar
ket at Chicago, during the past ten days,
has been phenomenal and the opinion
is expressed that further advances will
be scored as the full effect of the drought
becomes apparent. To-day's prices are
reported to be the highest for wheat since
the collapse of the Letter deals. Transac-
tons were estimated at 80, 900 900 bushels
The price of flour jumped in Savannah to-
day, patent being $40 straight 81. 25
fancy $500, and family $3.75
Nothing OF particular interest developed
in the naval stores market. Spirits tur-
pentine closed firm at 43 cents, a decline
of Il cent below the opening. At the drop
considerable business was done.
Rosin were officially firm, but
1t was reported there was quiet
undertone, and also that transactions were
made in some grades on basis of cents
below quotations.
The local cotton market closed quiet
and unchanged. with transactions of 10
oales. The following resume of the differ
ent markets will show the tone and quo
tations at the close to-day:

corroN BOUNDS UPWARD.
Rears Routed and Prices Close 16
to 30 Points Higher.

New York, June 20.-It was a day OF
surprises on the Cotton Exchange. From
an Indifferent start at about last night
prices, pendulations gathered remarkable
impetus in the late session and swung
fully AZ points. Moreover, speculation,
which was exceptionally tame and feature
less on the first call, grew at an amazing
rate with total transactions probably the
largest ever recorded, something over l.
600 900 bales. according to conservative es-
Inmates the bulk of which cotton changed
hands during the last two hours of the
session.
The official ra ting of the opening was
quiet" with prices unchanged to points
higher Toward the close of the first hour
firm cables from Liverpool and bad crop
advices from nearly every portion of the
belt started local covering, which gradu-
ally broadened until the South and Europe
were also making good oversold accounts.
The rise at midday was q matter of 20
u points, with no special excitement no

were completely demoralized by the sensa

Many out of Employment.

The closed season for fishing throws
great many people out of employment on
the bay at Tampa and all along the west
coast, and it is a rather pathetic sight
TO see the fish camps all closed and the
fishing smacks anchored near the shore,
but the law is necessary for the protec-
ton of the fishing industry on this coast,
and it is hoped that there will be no
violation of the statute, and that If there
is. the law will be strictly enforced. 1t
is claimed by some that Judge Walls
ruling in which he held that the act of
1899 on the subject did not properly pass
the House, leaves the gap down for a
continuation of fishing through the sum-
mer, but it would be advisable for all
those who are inclined that way to re-
member that an act nearly similar passed
the Legislature in 1897, and that If the act
of 1893 is unconstitutional 1t leaves in
force the act of 1897. which provides for a
closed season, also.

Baltmore's gain of Is per cent. in re-

ply means that the conservative methods
of the Maryland city are having their ef-
feet upon the cotton movement OF the

would like to see her gain many times 70

1t is quite possible that any further i'm
provement in our river and harbor will be
accomplished through the south channel,
by which al comparatively light expense

low water can be obtained and maintain

All this marvellous development and
these possibilities may not gain US navy

just enacted into a law; but even IN 1888
the government reaped q rich return in
the splendid service the port rendered In
the Spanish war. for the moderate eXpen-
diturs so far made upon Savannah river
and jusdfes further expenditures tor Sc
curing a greater depth.
If the competition were open for new
site for a navy yard Savannah would be
abe to present figures and parade adVan-
ages that would make her formidable
compe titor for any South Atlanjc port,
and il is well, therefore, that the astute
South Carolina senator blindfolded the
Secretary of the Navy in the exercise oil
his plenary discretion.
But though Savannah and other South
Atlantic ports are legislated out OF cotnpe-
tition for the successorship of Port Royal,
the advantages that make for our com
mercial elevation will not suffer by this
discriminating legislation.
The eyes of the world are upon our great
advantages as a port in depth of water,
railway and terminal facilities, supplies
of raw material al our very doors, per-
feet commercial system and an inexhaust-
IDLE supply of the purest water on the
earth, for all purposes, and we have far
more to expect from commercial growth
