HIGHER GRADES OF COTTON UP
LOCAL COTTON TAKES A TURN Ut
IN RESPONSE TO FUTURES.

Good MiddIing Marked Up Il Cent,
Tone Quiet-Advance of Cotton Fu-
lures Checked and Bears Get Tenn
pornry Control of the Situation.
Wheat Continues Up-Turpentine
Firm at 43c and Resins Firm and
Unchanged.
Morning News ONCE, June N.-The cot
ton market advanced 1kc on good niddling
and 1-16c on middling to-day. at which
the tone was firm and business better than
it has been for some time past. Sales Of
80 bales were reported at the Cotton Elk
| change. The advance was in response to
the phenomenal jumps in the New York
futures market the past day or so.
A check to the advance in cotton flu
lures came to-day, when the bears got
control of the situation about midday, and
succeeded IN forcing prices down TO some
extent, the close being barely steady with
prices three to nine points off. The change
was due largely to a scare among the
more influential of the bull element, who
considered it time to take profits, and
accordingly dumped cotton on the market
in quantities sufficient to exert a very
depressing effect. Reports of unfavorable
conditions in China. and the irregularity
of the stock market, were received dur
ing the day.
Wheat continued its advance to-day and
prices now show gains of about II cents
since the present bull movement started
| Flour is jumping all over the country as
result OF the advances in wheat, and

/ much higher before the top is reached.

Thursday. June 81
SPIRITS TURPENTINE-The tur-
pentine market was in firm po-
sition to-day, and the volume
of business up to the expectations
Of the trade. At he opening at the BOARD
of Trade the market was posted firm at
43 cents, with sales of 939 casks, and he
closing unchanged, with further sa es of
100 casks. Buyers are apparently salts
fed with the present price, and are wi l.
irg to take stuff on this basis, at least to
satisfy their more urgent demands The
ceipts were 1868 casks, and the exports
none.
ROSTNS-Toward the closing to-day
the rosin market acquired considerable
strength on a squirt in the demand The
weakness on Wednesday brought ste dy
opening to-day, with nothing favorable in
sight for the market. The opening sales
were 9i3 barrels. On demand which
sprung up later sales of 1874 barrels were
made, which gave the market a decided
ST. onger tone. The closing was considered
very firm. The days receipts were $50
barrels. and the exports none. The total
sales were 4,137 barrels. The following

The State Board of Health held an ad-
journed session in Jacksonville from PEN
sacola to consider the claim of the county
of Escambia to 800 900 for payment for the
quarantine plant formerly operated by
that county's Board of Health previous
to the county coming under authority OF
the State Board. Mr. Jones made an ar
gument in behalf of his city and county
for the $4,000 claim, stating what the
quarantine plant was worth in receipts to
the State Board. and giving some figures
TO sustain his claim. After much discus
sion IL was decided by the board that they
would pay the County Commissioners of
Escambia county $415S.23, claimed to have
been raised by direct taxation in that
county, provided they offered ample
proofs vouchers and receipts to show that
such a sum was SO raised and that it was
expended for quarantine purposes.

New York, June 21.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co, say: Liverpool responded fully 20 the
advance in our market. buS strangely the
merchants there sent large selling orders
here which supplied the covering remain
ing from last evening. Yesterdays adj
vance was a stampede of Western shorts,
who apparently were influenced by the
strength of their wheat market, and the
reports of damage from rain in the Mis-
SiSSppi Valley. To-day that demand has
not been present, and after the opening
advance slowly reCeded under the weight
of longs realizing. The South also sold
freely, orders coming from all sections eX-
cepung Mississippi, which state appears
TO have suffered from the recent rains
Our advance of yesterday has eliminated
an overgrown short interest in the new
crops, and the trade will now watch the
weather as the controlling factor. Dry
weather will cause a decline, wet weather
