Ard Cause Considerable Excitement.
Fortunately No One Was Hurt.
Yesterday afternoon as car No. %
passed the street of the same number
going down, shoe burnt out and set
the car afire. Buckets Of water were
secured from a nearby store and the
flames were extinguished. The car
was again started, but only reached the
Haskins Hospital when 1t again burnt
out and caught fire. The blaze WAS
again extinguished and the crew deeid-
ed to wait for the next car. When it
did arrive it happened TO be one of the
style built without the coupling appa-
ratus. The only thing to do was to
bump the car to the DaTns. This they
proceeded to do, followed up by
string of seven other cars.
When Forty-thira street was reached
the second car, No. CT, blazed up in
flames and these were extinguished
with difficulty. The passengers on the
car, which was of the summer style,
all jumped, throwing packages in all
directions. Although several persons
received slight falls in their hurry to
leave the car, no one was injured.
Word was sent to the barns and an
other car was started from there which
came up and towed the other two cars
down. The incident caused quite lit
tie excitiment in the vicinity.

NEW ORLEANS CorTov FUTURES


New Orleans, Oct. 9.-Liverpool was
more favorable than expected, the adj
vance being due to less favorable crop
accounts and the large demand from
spinners, the small stock there, the
light shipments from America, and
fears of early killing frost Our market
responded by opening points higher,
but when it was ascertained that fair
weather generally prevailed throughout
the belt, and that predictions were for
continuance of same values eased off
IL points from the top, closing at a net
loss of points on the day.
Operators anticipate a very bullish
weekly Liverpool statement Friday.
showing heavy loss in stock and look
for a large deficit in the amount
brought into sight, and the visible sup
ply figures, all of these expectations
will be realized. because spinners and
exporters are apathetic, refusing to
buy any more than actual require
ments, and as long as this hand to-
mouth policy is pursued, statistics will
be bullish on the surface, owing to the
restricted takings, which prevent a
free movement coming into sight, caus-
ing heavy accumulations in the inte-
rior towns. Spot holders, under the
circumstances, find it hard to make
sales unless concessions are made and
then the trades are only in limited
quantities. Speculation so far refuses
to enter the article, yet II may come
in when least looked for, however the
future course of the market will be
ruled by weather conditions, receipts
and spot demand.
