NANAL STORES.

Saturday, July g.
Spirits Experimentation assumed a
stubborn attitude as to the selling of tur-
pentine to-day. and the closing found
them holding out to carry their point in
the fight 10 check the downward tendency
of the market and establish higher prices
The opening was firm at 4lc bid, and the
closing firm at 4119c bid, but with no
transactions reported at either call Fac
tors are looking for better prices, and ap-
parently do not intend to part with stuff
until they are BILE to do so at prices con-
sderably above what have been com
manded during the past few days. I'm
less there is an undue accumulation,
therefore, continued hesitation may be
expected until buyers decide to pay the
asked price. The days receipts were 1,S23
sales none and the exports AIS.
Rosins-The rosin market closed firm
and unchanged to-day, with a fair de-
mand for the offerings. There were open
ing sales of 716 barrels reported at the
Board of Trade, which constituted the of
fetal business for the day. The early
closing rule was observed, all factors and
buyers closing shop at o'clock. The
days receipts were 2945, sales TIC and the
exports 1858. The quotations were as fol-
lows:

A PhOSphorfc Fire.

Macon Telegraph; Many queer things
have happened to call out Macons fire
department on false alarms The queer
est of ALL 1t was thought, was the one
recently when the fellow set some rags
on fire to smoke out mosquitoes. and
while he went 10 sleep the neighbors
turned in the alarm. But the one which
called the department 90 the residence OF
Dr. Gostin a couple of nights ago is
equally as unusual. DIR. Gostin's son,
Bernard. is a student of chemistry. med
icine, etc, and is quite fond of making
experiments. He had called in some
friends on the night of the fire depart
ments run, to show them what all he
could do with phosphorus. None Of the
other members OF the family were at
home, and as his friends stood around in
open-eyed wonderment he drew a piece of
the substance from a vessel of water, and
waved 1t in kind of JACKIE lantern"
style; the neighbors saw the light through
the window, and supposed that flames
were consuming the contents Of the room
Consequently, an alarm was turned on,
and the department responded post haste.

Bitten by n RnttIesnake.

Madison County Argus: Last Tuesday,
about II o'clock, Mr.. Berry Shields, a
prominent citizen of the upper part Of
the county, was bitten on the arm by
Tattlesnake, and the reptile stuck his
fangs so deep into the flesh as to be
raised from the ground, and did not re-
lax his hold until struck against a tree.
The poison became so deeply implanted
IN the bleed before any relief could be
obtained that the life of Mr.. Shields was
despaired of. Everything possible was
done TO relieve the suffering man, who
in moment when he least expected it,
was bitten by one of che most poisonous
reptiles that infest our land. Mr.. Shields
is still in a very precarious condition,
but hopes are entertained that he NAV
YET recover. His arm is very much swol-
len and has turned black.

Darien Gazette: The so-called strike of
course the longshoremen are the greatest
losers So far about $4,000 ia cold cash
has gone out of Darien to foreigners and
others every dollar of which should have
remained in our county. The lesson taught
the strikers has been an expensive one,
10 them, but in the long run 10 will prob
ably be worth the money. We will ven
ture to say that it will be a very long
time before this section is again the scene
of foolish strike. Our laborers have had
enough and we feel satisfied that if they
could undo the work of the past month
they would only be too willing to do So
The Gazette feels sorry for all the suffer-
ers, but can only say, don't be foolish any
more

New York. July 2S.-The market for cot
ton futures opened quiet and easy with
prices > to paints lower and displayed
a feeble undertone throughout the fore
noon unCer leht fur1ies of general SELL
ing and an absence of anything like sub
stan ial speculative support. There was
further decline soon after the opening
but this was later recovered on profit
taking by room shorts as matter of pre-
caution in view of the over-Sunday ad-
jcurnment at hand.
The Chronicles weekly crop review
proved even better than anticipated, the
English cables noted IRE Rularity in Liver
pool and a predominance of bear specu-
lation, and the government weather map
was all that could be desired. Spot mar
kets were dull and easier The Southern
speculative contingent sold the October
and later months, Liverpool unloaded Au-
gust holdings, room scalpers worked on
the short side and the regulation room
trade showed an inclination to sell Decem-
Der and January cotton Receipts at the
ports gave no sign of narrowing Export

ton.

There seems 10 be little doubt about the
downward tendency in the turpentine mar
ket being checked. judging from the firm
ness factors displayed in holding out to-
day for higher prices. The opening at
the Board of Trade was firm at Il bid.
and the closing firm at Az bid. but without
any sales reported at either call. These
prices did not satisfy factors. who showed
the usual hesitancy when buyers are bid
ding the price up. It's the same as it is
in an auction sale-the trade waits for the
first. second and third calls, and makes
sure there are no higher bids to come be-
fore stuff is knocked down TO buyers. With
several buyers in the market the chance
is the price may be run up considerably
before a trading basis is reached. The
resin market was firm and unchanged,
with fair volume OF business reported.
The cotton market closed quiet and un-
changed, with reported sales of 81 bales.
The first bale of the season of 1900-1901 vas
officially received. 1t was sold for u
cents a pound. The wholesale markets
