SHIPPING PEARS.
Several Carloads Sent to Market
by Dawson Fruit Growers.

Several fruit growers in and ne1r
Dawson are shipping pears to north
ern and western markets, several car
loads having left in the past few days
Returns show thai the fruit brings
fairly good prices and nets nice prof
it.
This is the first time in several
years that pears have been shipped
from this point, their shipment having
been tried without success about ten
years ago by growers here. This sea-
son, however, the crop, taken as a
whole, is not as large as then, and the
demand is greater hence the profit in
their shipment.

NELL ON COTTON CROP.
Report to English Trade Indirectly Caused
lump in Futures.

Jump in Futures.
The cotton market took a decided
turn upward Thursday New York flu
lures advanced from 16 to 36 points,
the greatest gains being in the July
and August options, each of which
went up SO. October and November
advanced IS, September II and all 9th
ers Is points. The advance in Liver
pool was the primary cause of the jump
on this side.
The advance across the water is a
response to the first hand shown by
Neill of New Orleans this season. In a
report to the English trade he says
the fields in many sections of the cot
ton belt have been abandoned, and
that the outlook fora big crop is any
thing but promising. The fact that he
has taken this stand at this time tends
to confirm many previous reports from
the belt of damage to the plant. The
effect of a report of this sort in Liver
pool was to create much uneaslneSs
among the bearish element.
From the general run of opinions ex-
pressed as to this years cotton yield it
seems that Neill will be in accord with
the majority of the southern trade in
the stand he has taken. His next pro-
mitigation will of course be looked for
with interest.

gentleman was required to draw on
