SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

One of the local Italian newspapers
has begun to raise a fund for mohl-
nlent to Giuseppe Verdi, and the
amount subscribed is already more
thhn $4,000 Some of the contributions
arc us low as 10 cents. That Verdi
statue is needed here was proved
when the "Manxoni Requiem was
sung. 1t was decided to place Il bust
OF the Italian composer on the stage
and nobody thought that there would
be the least difficulty in finding the
lecOration But the search continued
for nearly week without bringing
the bust any nearer than ii had been.
The shops in the Italian quarter were
Tansacked. but none of the dealers in
plaster casts had ever had bust or
Verdi. On the Saturday before the
concert it looked as If there would
b. no bust of the composer on the
stagc. and it was only through the in
tervention of regular attendant at
the opera that one was finally found.

dition this year were to decline as low

would indicate a crop of 11,34O,OOO. The
fact that Texas was particularly bearish,
and that the departments returns were

Friday. May 81.
The event that largely influenced an
advance of points in the cotton futures
market at New York to-day, was the
government crop report showing the aver
age condition as u.s. which is the lowest
I'D to June l for the past twenty years.
The poor condition of the crop as shown
in this average was promptly reflected by
a buying movement that carried prices
upward. The spot markets were not ma
terially influenced by the report.
The week in the local cotton market
ruled quiet, with the demand light, and
business scattering and unsatisfactory.
orders for round lots were not to be founs
because spinners have their eyes set on
the coming crop, and believe it will reach
market in time to give them an abund-
ant supply before their needs become
more urgent than they are at present
WHAT cotton is being held in the country
is in strong hands, and no effort is con-
sequently being made TO dispose of it.
Fair activity characterized the opera
+ions in the naval stores market during
the week. which was in the main firm
though the prices of both spirits and ros-
ms showed a tendency to yield towards
the closing. Spirits closed nrm to-day at
S23.c. with the demand satisfactory.
Resins closed firm and unchanged, with
moderate sales reported at the opening
call. New York stocks showed renewed
animation at to-day's opening, with the
sales running ahead of the million mark.
The following resume of the markets
will show their tone and quotations at
the closing to-day:
The Savannah morning news., 1901-06-01

New York, May 31.-The interest to-day
conferred in the government report of acre
age and conditions published at noon. An
increase in the acreage of SS per cent.
was about what was expected. though the
condition was lower than anticipated. This
report caused a sharp rally from the open
ing, due to the buying bought for local
account, based on the expectation that
this report would bring buying orders
from Europe for the new crop deliveries.
In July, the interest is daily becoming
smaller, though one line of 5000 bales at
1850, supposed to be sold for holders in
the Southwest for delivery. Our local
traders are again disposed to buy on de-
clines.
