sinister reports from China had no eff
feet in the local market and indeed did
not hurt the American securities in the
foreign markets. Good advances were
established in London for Union Pacific
and for Baltimore Ohio before the open
ing here and international houses bought
freely in this market of these and other
stocks. The total purchases for London
account in this market were estimated
at 40 900 shares. The movement in Union
Pacific was the handspring of this market
all day and Baltimore and Ohio was also
an active feature. The movement IN
these stocks was primarily based on the
estimates of the years earnings now
made up.
Another potent influence in the market
was the copous downfalls of rain in the
corn belt The amount of speculation
which has been based on supposed dam
age to the corn crop was made obvious
by the violent break in the price OF that
cereal and the rapid advance in the
stocks of corn carrying railroads. This
helped the Union Pacific movement and
that stock rose an extreme 2B. other

Rock Island was held back by sympathy

which was q target for the bears all

Pacific broke badly in the late dealings
on disappointment that no action on the
dividend was taken at a meeting OF the
directors help today. The extreme de-
cline was rs, and coupled with the
weakness in Brooklyn Transit and the
disposition to take profits, reactions of
about point were caused in number
of stocks. The closing was heavy at the
reaction.
Outside of the Changers the Pacifics
and Trans Continentals generally. the
market continued dull and narrow. An
early advance in American Sugar was
due to the rise in the price of refined
product and there was some late strength
in the Steel stocks on reports Of new
orders being placed fer iron products.
The further advance in sterling eX-
change and the admission by information
al houses that they expected to ship gold
this week seemed to be without effect

SOUTHERN MILLS HAVE FEW ORDERS
They Report Superabundance Of Raw Material
and Manufactured Goods. Corn Market
Drops Over Three Points on the
Breaking Up Of Drought.

New York, July 16-Dry goods: The
market for dry goods shows no material
change today. 1t is excessively hot and
SPOT business suffers on that account but
mail orders are up to the average. Brown
cottons dull at previous prices. Bleached
unchanged in prices, low grades some

COTTON.
New York, July 16.-Early events on
the Cotton Exchange were exciting and
thoroughly disheartening to the bull
forces which suffered SO severely in Sat
urday's selling movement. Nef ~ all the
influences bearing upon the market were
again against price Improvement In
view of the heavy decline and enormous
unloading on that day, the bulls looked
for a natural reaction this morning But
the cables svere weak, the crop news good
and the weather reports nearly all that
could be desired Moreover the news
from China was such as to prevent fresh
investment buying for outside account
With Liverpool futures down 512 to 6R
points and spot cotton off I'D, our mar
ket opened easy with July two points
higher, but later deliveries were two to
nine points lower.
There was slight further decline i'm
nlediately after the call and then a
brief period of hesitation, followed by q
sharp rise in keeping with a turn in
the tendency of prices abroad. But be-
fore midday the market had developed
fresh weakness and under heavy selling
for both accounts dropped rapidly to the
lowest level of the morning, a net de-
cline of eight to ten POINTS Europe
sold large amounts of summer months
cotton here and the South sold the new
crop positions. Predictions that tomor
rows Government crop report and wealth
er statement would be a most decided
bearish argument helped to weaken SEN
timent in bull quarters. The short time
policy of Fall River mills was regarded
as but a temporary relief of the con-
gested cloth situation at home while
Southern mills reported a superabund
ance of raw material and manufactured
goods with few orders During the early
afternoon the market was speculatiyely
fiat and featureless and the late phases
were not specially int Ss3sting. The close
was steady with prices net three to
eight points lower.

DIFFICULT GAME TO CAPTURE.
Former Governor of Kentucky Tay-
IOr Not Likely to be Given
Up ON RequisitiOn.

Frankfort, KY, June 18.-The state
officials, as well as Representatives of
the prosecution will neither affirm nor
deny the report that acquisitions on
the governors of Ohio, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania for the arrest of W.
S. Taylor have beer made out in an
ticipation of his trip through those
states to the national convention. 1t
is the general belief that the attempt
to arrest him will be made after his
arrival at Philadelphia. A large num-
Der of letters from persons in this
state have been written to Gov. Stone
of Pennsylvania urging him to follow
the position taken by Gov. Mount in
the event Taylor is arrested. Gov. Tay-
lor's friends say they have assurances
from leading republicans ofPittsburgh
that a requisition will not be honored
in that state.

Manila, June 1S.-The United States
forces had two engagements of i'm
portance last week. The troops I'M
der Gen. Funston and Gen. Grant or
ganized an advance with parts of five
regiments and two guns, against 500
rebels in a mountain stronghold east
of Biacnabata, where it was supposed
Capt. Roberts, of the Thirty-tifth reg
iment, who was captured last month at
San Miguel de Mayumo, was held cap
tive.
The Americans operated under many
difficulties and over an exceedingly
rough country; but the rebels retreat
ed, only a fewresisting, and the strong
hold was occupied and burned.
AS the result of last weeks scout
ing 60 Filipinos were killed, 200 were
captured, and 300 rifles, with $4,000
rounds of ammunition were sur
rendered. Three Americans were
killed.
Malarial fever has been prevalent
since April in parts of Cavite and Ba
tangas provinces, which are garrisoned
by the Forty-sixth and Thirty-ninth
regiments. Thirty-two per cent. of the
men of each regiment are on the sick
list. OF two battalions in Batangas

GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
The Philippine Commission 0etiins Things
In Shape for Assuming Civil
Control

Manila, June 1S.--Jddge Taft and his
colleagues of the civil commission are
studying the different legislative
phases of the situation preparatory to
the work OF enacting new laws on
September 1, when they assume legis-
lative power. The subjects have been
tentatively divided among them as fol-
lows:
Judge Taft-Crown lands, land titles,
the church and the civil service, the
last named with view of bringing
from the United States good class OF
government employees who shall event
ually replace army officers in the civil
administration.
Luke Wright-Ihternal improve
ments, constabulary, commerce, cor
poration franchises and the criminal
code.
Henry C. Ide--Banking and cur
rency and the origin of the civil courts.
Bernard Moses-Revenues, taxation
and schools.
The commissioners have established
Offices in the same building with Gen.
Macarthur, and are receiving, discuss
ing and absorbing the opinions of army
and navy men, and of foreigners and
Filipinos. The people of Manila seem
pleased with the democratic course of
the commissioners and with their
habitually courteous demeanor. The
earlier feeling of disappointment is
slowly disappearing

CONSIDERS THE WAR ENDED.
Natal Volunteers Dismissed and q
Complete Division Ordered to
Embark for China.

London, June IS, 4:20 a. m.-There
are some indications that Lord Rob-
erts considers the wars end in South
Africa not far distant. One of these
is the fact that the Natal volunteers,
who had seen hard service, were dis
missed to their homes by Sir Redvers
Butler Saturday. They were cheered
as they left camp.
Another indication is the report cur
rent in authoritatively informed mill
tary circles in London that complete
division is to be withdrawn from Gen
Buffers army and embarked at Dur
ban for China
The troops drawn from India will
probably go next. Lord Roberts let's
them go without telegraphing. The
correspondents at headquarters are as
they have been for ten days, silent.

Des Moines, Ia, June 1S.-The Des

at cost of $4,000, was destroyed by
fire yesterday. 1t was insured for $685..
900. 1t was occupied by the CONNER
cial exchange and the T. w. p. Chase
Amusement Co., the latter holding a
lease and conducting a vaudeville
show. All the seats, effects and
scenery were burned, amounting to
$4,000, making total loss as now esti-
mated, of $4,000, with $1,000 insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry, and the belief seems to be that
it was incendiary. The auditorium will
be rebuilt Immediately.
