on The Cotton Trade.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 13.-
AS a consequence of-the situation
in China all exports to that coun.
try OF American cotton goods,
principally heavy sheeting and

This statement was vOuched for
to day by Frederick l. Bailey, OF
the firm of Joshua l. Bailey 81
Co, one of the largest dry goods

Mr.. Bailey stated that the mills
of this country annually export
about $20,0OO,OOO in co, ton goods

China alone and that those most
likely to me effected by the sud

Famous Brigand Killed.

New York, July IS News has
come from Rome of the death of
the famous brigand, Fioravanto,
who for so many years eluded
every attempt to capture him.
He was shot by peasant whom
he had threatened with death be-
cause of his refusal to take a let ,
ter demanding 5000 frances.
Fioravanto was the last of the
old race Of brigands WHICH infest.
ed the neighborhood of Rome.
For some years there has been a
standing reward of 1000 frances
his capture or death. His
oeath effectually clears the coun-
try between Lake Balsena and
and Rome of desperate disturbers.

TO INVEST IN AMERICA
Big English Firm to Buy Out the Mid
vale and the Cramp Plants.

New York, December 5.-The Evening
Post says:
According to a report that has reach
ed Wall street, Vickers Sons & Maxim,
limited. Of England, have instituted
negotiations for the purchase Of the
Midvale Steel Works, and the Cramp
S~hipbuilding Company of Philadelphia.
The purpose of the English company
is believed to be to secure a share of the
United States government contracts
for warships, m plate and ordnance.
THE report mas it that S 800, 900 has
already been offered for the Midvale
Company, and that the Cramp purchase
will probably be partly effected by is
suing stock of the new corporation to
be formed when the deal has been COM
pleted."
1T is said that final arrangements
for the deal are to be attempted next
week in this city, when Charles H.
Cramp will come here to meet a New
York banker who will represent the
English company.
"A we'll informed man in steel mat
tiers said: More than a year ago John
Crossley, managing director of Wick
ers' Sons & Maxim, came to America
to purchase the Cramp shipyard. At
that time it was understood that the
negotiations fell through. Beginning
these negotiations a second time means
probably that a purchase will be made.
Wicker Sons & Maxim are the giants
of the buSiness-the Krupps of Eng
land-and ave unlimited capital. They
can afford to buy Cramps and the Mid
vale outright if they care to, but more
likely it is to be a stock purchase.
Thai the English concern will complete
the purchase I do not doubt"
