COTTON AGAIN MOVES UPWARD
THE CONDITIONS STILL FAVOR THE
BULL FACTION.

IL Is Admitted the Damage to Crops
Has Been Considerable, and the
Trade Now Awaits Definite Infor-
mation-Spirits Turpentlne Firm
at 42is Cents-AIl Grades of Rosin
Advance-Sugar Up 10 Points-Lo-
cal and TeIegrnphic Markets.
Morning News ONCE, June 26.-The cot
ton market continues to be the center Of
attraction in local commercial circles. The
New York market for cotton futures clos
ed very steady at an advance of Z to 20
points, with the situation somewhat con-
fusing toward the close. due to the vari-
ance of reports from the cotton country
as 10 the extent of the damage caused by
the recent rainy weather. That the DAM
age has been considerable in some quarters
is not doubted and many are waiting for
definite information as to the drawback
to the crop. expecting this to lead 10 fur
Their fluctuations in prices. To-days rise
is due mainly to the big demand for cotton
by bears. After they were satisfied little
further interest was shown during the
balance of the session.
The naval stores market is very firm
apparently. The turpentne market opened
firm al 4212 cents, and remained firm dur
ing the day under the strain of hammer
ing by buyers, who were unable to set
anything under quotations. 1t is the be-
lief of factors that prices will stiffen con-
siderably later as a result of the present
rough weather, which has prevailed quite
generally throughout the turpentine belt
The rosin market advanced five cents at
the opening on all grades, at which the
tone was firm, and the demand fair The
impression as to short receipts also pre-
walls among the factors as to the rosin
market. and for this reason they are in
different about selling. 1t remains to be
seen whether the receipts will be materi-
ally decreased as a result of the rains.
This has not been the case up TO the pres
ent time.
Another advance of 10 points was re-
ported in refined sugars to-day. The
wholesale markets were steady and gener-
ally unchanged. except as TO sugars. The
following resume of the different markets
will show the tone and quota tons at the
closing to-day.

BrinRinR Poor Price.

Americus Herald; A prominent Ameri-
Gus fruit shipper received a letter this
morning from New York stating that the
price of peaches had fallen so for the pa st
week that freight could hardly be realized
upon them, and he was advised by his
broker not to ship any more at the pres
snt. The reason given for the
poor prices is the continuous
rains. which has caused the
fruit to be sappy, and does not bear ship
ping well. The fruit has to be sold at
forced sale and barely brings enough to
pay freight. 1t looks as though the crop
Will be failure so far as shipping Is con-
cerned The only way TO save the crop,

Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen:
A final conclusion has been reached in the
litigation over the affairs of the Jackson
Vile. Tampa and Key West Railway Com
pany, and the case, which has occupied
considerable portion OF the time of the
United States Court in this city for the
last six or seven years, is ended. This
was brought about by the sale Ct the San
ford and Lake Eustis division, which
was sold on the rule day OF the present
month, under order of the court, by Spe-
cial Master Charles S. Adams. The pur-
chaser was the Plant Investment Com
pany, which offered $4,000 for the prop
erIy, and agreed to assume the payment
OF certain state and county taxes pas
due. This purchase money has been paid
into the registry of the court. From this
there is to be deducted $l,19o.53 for ex-
penses and costs, leaving a balance Of S23. =

Nothing further has developed in the
plans of the promoters of the line OF
steamers to run in competition with the
Gibson Line between Savannah and Au-
gusta The intentions of the newccm RS
are not exactly known. and for this rea-
son the interests with which they will
compete are left in the dark, at least for
the present.
Speaking of the new line yesterday Mr..
w. T. Gibson said he did not see WHARF
the business for additional boats was COM
ing from I'VE have tried boats on some
of the routes it is proposed to run.
and found it did not pay. Expenses were
so much heavier than our receipts that
we abandoned our intention of continuing.
And the same may be said of the Savan-
nah and Augusta line. One steamer is
now laying off because there is not
enough business at present TO justify Us in
running her. 1t does not stand to reaso7
that we would tie a boat TO the 60 ks If
there were anything to be made in keep
ing her on the line"
Judging from the precaution taken some
time ago by Mr.. Gibson against competi-
ton with his Augusta business it would
seen he has hold on at least a part of the
business there. He organized a stock COM
pany and interested all the leading ship
pers by his line. including mill men and
merchants. so that they are apt to patron
ize their own line. The relations thus es-
tablished are doubtless such as will be
difficult for a competitor to overcome.
