New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans September 1S.-The mar ket for spot cotton, while just pare shade softer than during yesterday, was still ruling fairly steady today. Liver pool recorded another advance or l-lo on spots, and to that extent furnished announcement to the local factorage el- ement. but as an offset contracts were cheaper on this side of the water ana buyers evinced disposition to hold oack for moderate concessions. Thus, with the two clements conspicuously apart in their views there was not great deal or traa- ing. Sales 3550 bales including 1900 to ar rive. Quotations unchanged. There was comparatively brisk trading in futures, with January clearly the favorite posi- ton, though Octobers and DeceRbers re- ceiyed considerable attention. aM March came in for moderate share of interest From the outset today the trend of prices was distinctly in favor of the shorts. The market opened to 6 points down all along the line. There was free selling for the short account and considerable unloading by timid bulls immediately after the first call and as a result, values fell off steadily until losses of 10 to 12 points on all active months had been recorded, when there was a partial recovery, inf1u- enced by renewed buying for investment, largely on orders from New York. Sep tember closed points lower; October S; while the other positions were to 6 points under yesterdays closing figures

A reporter visited Fisher an hour be-
fore he met the bitterest experience Of
his career. He was furiously smoking
a pipe and walking about his cell. He is
of medium height and slight. His hair
is iron-gray. His face, somewhat thin,
was covered with a well-trim1ned beard.
His dark and not unpleasant eyes were
bright, and he was nervously alert,
though striving to be calm. He talked
quietly and without bravado, and al
though he has steadfastly asserted his
innocence, he said nothing of his con-
viction.

Fisher smiled with real spirit when it
was suggested that a counter irritant
was cure for rheumatism.

If Fishers face told the truth, the

4hame-faced and timid, and his eyes
were not as bright as they were in ex-
pectation of the lash.

he tried to hide his face behind the post,
but the position was too awkward and
painful and he was forced to lay his
face sidewise on one Of the slabs of the
octagon. Then the merciless and active
photographers had their inning.
AS the man stood bound and barred,
his flesh, white and delicate, without
blemish, shone like the palest of marble
in the sun. There was not a tremor on

so wide as to show the fear and anguish

refused to tell anything.

The sheriff, merciful man, as one could
read on his kindly face. raised the whip,
a single rawhide lash not thicker thor
a childs little finger, high in the air.
The lash whizzed through the air AMI

sound as though striking putty. Th4
point of the whip, the cracker, whirret4
around on the mans side, touched hind

blood. where. razor-like it had cut the
flesh. A broader band of dull red show I'd

The pain must have been an electric
sting, carried all over the body from the
lacerated nerves. but the man did not
finch. The flesh quivered, but that was
Involuntary. The man batted his eyes as
the lash fell. It was sympathetic ac-
ton he could not control. He lookel
intensely and at nothing. The crowd was
as silent is if in prayer. The girls in
the box party were serious faced. They
moved back little.

Steel Produced by Electricity.

Steel is being produced by electricity
in Sweden. The experiments are being
carried on at Gysinge factory. Sweden,
and about 1900 pounds of steel are pro-
duced in six drafts daily. The steel is Of
an excellent quality and meets with
ready sales at high prices. On account
of the relative cheap method of produc-
ton the profits are large. but as the
electrical power is limited the output
is Insignificant. To overcome this draw
back plans have been formed for the
erection of a large electric plant near
the Dalalfuen river. the water power of
which will be utilized. This will enable
the company to carry on the manufac-
ture Of steel by electricity on a large
scale.
