An interesting incident happened as
Queen Maria Cristina drove the other

the young king, who sat opposite his
mother, showed signs of delight.

gagcmcni Rodney, to his immense
surprise, saw II woman serving one Of
the guns and doing her work well.
In the heat Of the fight the admiral

ing.
Speculation in cotton was on a much
more moderate scale. The market was
unsettled with frequent fluctuations There
was a sharp decline in old crop positions
on Monday. and subsequent improvement
was not fully sustained At the close the
new crop months are u to Is points lower;
May. 941c and August. 922c. A leading
feature was the firmness of new crop de-
liveries Que to reported backwardness of
crop preparations and an unwieldly short
interest September is about unchanged
but later months are y to Is points higher,
October size.
Port receipts were pretty free, but the
amount in sight for the week was some
10000 bales less than last year. Receipts
at interior towns are now very small and
Indicate exhaustion; practically all sec
tons report that very little Is now left
TO come forward. 1t is reasonably sure
that the crop cannot run much over 1900
900 bales.
Speculation at the moment is fitful and
uncertain; Liverpool, which is now the
leader, advances and declines in an APP
parently capricous manner. The rational
course of the market would appear TO be
towards higher prices for old crop, and
lower prices for new crop months but as
the public is no doubt already heavily
committed in both those directions, the
immediate outlook is very uncertain.
The stock market furnished several SEN
satons, the chief of which was the daz-
zling recovery of Third Avenue from the
recent disastrous decline. BY Wednesday
this stock had recovered 80 points, and
closed about as points higher at 1O21s. The
property was absorbed by the Metropoll-
tan Company, and the shorts found them
selves cornered and were utterly demor-
allied. Another prominent feature was
Baltimore and Ohio. which gained about
10 points, closing 76B. There was a bet
ter feeling generally among the railroads,
and Sugar gained or 5 points, but In
dustrials for the most part attracted less
attention. Financial statistics now prom
