New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. July 11.-In the spot cot ton market today there was a somewhat better feeling. Buyers were moving about among the sample rooms freely and un- questionably would operate upon a much heavier scale were factors inclined to make slight concessions in their favor. The offerings are fairly large and the assortment is such that buyers have no great difficulty in making selections. Sales, 255O bales, including 1150 to arrive. Quotations 1-16c lower on all grades.
 The market for contracts was some what lacking in steam during the early hours today and only a moderate amount of trading was done, principally in Octo- ber while the fluctuations noted were over very narrow range; thus, to a con- siderable extent, keeping the room trad CTS out of the running. The first call showed an advance of four to seven points and after some few minor reces- sion in the level, one to four points more were added to the long score. Later in the day, however, confirmation of re- ported rains in Texas carried prices down, the market finally closing one point lower to two points higher than yes- terday.

RAILROAD AS COAL DEALER.
Decision in Tennessee Permits Com
pany to Create Traffic.


May a railway company lawfully en-
gage in business as dealer in coal? A
suit against the Louisville & Nashville
company in the name of the state Of
Tennessee, but in the interest of certain
coal dealers in Memphis, claims that in
so doing the company exceeded its corpo-
rate powers which We're solely for run
ming the railway business. But Chancei-
Tor Heiskell, in a recent decision at
Memphis, takes the opposite view very
strongly, says the Railway Age. Coua-
sci for the company maintained that.
while it was true that railroad could
not under its general corporate power
become general merchant, still it could
deal in such heavy outside ventures as
might be necessary to make traffic for
the road, and that its dealing in coal was
not for the purpose of making a prott
from the sale of the product, but simply

WAR MADE BY RULE.
Made His Troops March
without Food.

An officer now in England sends the
following story from South Africa, for
the accuracy Of which he vouches, says
the Chicago Daily News:
"a brigade had been marching with
scarcely any food for nearly "a hours
continuously. When 1t halted and
rations were served out and the cook
ing had commenced one regiment was
asked by the brigade major to extin-
guish its fires. as they were not in
line with those Of the regiment on
its right The C. o. of the regiment
in question demonstrated as strongly
as possible, pointing out that il the
fires were put out there would he
neither time nor fuel (the latter was
very scarce and limited in quantity
to get the cooking finished before the
troops had to march on. But in spite
of all he could say the brigade major
insisted. the fires were put out and
before the tea could be boiled and the
meat cooked the regiment had to
march, the men having had no food"
1t would appear from this, says the
London Truth, as il the process of edu-
eating our officers in the feld-stafY Of
ficers at any rate-was still proceed
ing only slowly. The incident is of
the more interest since the brigade

Porto Rioans Gall Then Lucky, Bat
DR.. Cordero says TAsy spread
DtsoAAs,

Cobwebs are considered signs OF
good luck in Porto Rico, and many
shopkeepers there refuse to brush
them out of corners or from ceilings
Attention is called to the subject by
DR.. Cordero, of San Juan, who says
it is time for the superior board OF
health to act.
The board recently issued an order
prohibiting splitting on the floors OF
stores and public buildings. and DR..
Cordero heartily approves this order
He adds that the board should con-
tinue its good work by declaring war
on cobwebs, says the New York Sun.
These webs. says the doctor, con-
tain more germs to the square inch
than most people imagine. They hang,
in many instances, over counters and
cases where articles of Food are dis
played for sale, and pieces dropping
from the web reach this food, In
this way disease is spread.
Dr. Cordero warns the board that it
will be difficult to enforce an ordi-
nance such as he suggests, for in
Porto Rico good-sized cobweb over
the door is considered luckier than q
horseshoe.
