Rain and High Wind.

Dallas, Tex, April IA heavy rain
storm, accompanied by high wind,
prevailed here this afternoon. The
wind damaged roofs and blew down
shrubbery and the precipitation was
so heavy that it formed torrents in
the streets which swept everything
before them. Street-car traffic was de-
layed and quarter of mile of track
in the southern portion of the city
had to be abandoned for the remainder
of the day. The damage in Dallas
is estimated at $25.000.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-It has
practically been determined that
Hermann will not remain commits.
sioner of the general land office.
While the president speaks we'll of
Hermann, he cannot have him a sub.
ordinate to Hitchcock, in view of the
friction that exists. Hermann has
been rendered place on the civil
service commission, but as this is a
reduction both in salary and impor.
tance, he does not like to make the
change. The president does not want
to dump Hermann out in the cold,
and the civil service commissioner.
ship was suggested to let him down
easy.
George D. Meiklejohn, ex-assistant
secretary of war, is mentioned as
Hermann's successor. He lost his
former place in making a fight for the
senate, but it is understood he con
tributed his full share in the choice
of two Republicans, and may be rec
ognized for his party loyalty.

Aguinaldo has caused much interest
here. The press is divided on the
subject. In a published interview the

By Private Wire to Sledge. Commission
 Company.
 Birmingham. Ala. September 5, 1901.
 Wheat was very dull but firm, advanc- ing one-half cent in sympathy with corn. The trading was extremely light and en- tirely local The feature as of late was the small offerings. Liverpool was steady and unchanged to 1sd higher. Par is unchanged to Ac higher Primary re- celpts were over last years. Clearances 406, GOO bushels. There was nothing re- ported in the cash or export line. Our Argentine advices are that there has been some damage to wheat owing to the drought in that country. We look upon wheat as being the cheapest of the grains, and believe 1t will sell higher.
 Corn-The opening in corn was lower on the ''price current" estimate of 100000 bushels and a point improvement in the Missouri state crop report offerings were light however, and under local profession al buying prices rally upon the puolica- ton of the Illinois state report, showing a decrease of six points in condition from last month; the market turned strong est and advanced steadily under general buying, closing at about the best prices Shorts were good buyers. Reliable ad- vices on the Indiana outlook are bad. The cash situation grows stronger; bids were received from the continent today, the first In long time.
 The high prices for hogs and cattle are having stimulating effect and in our opinion is one of the strongest factors in the situation.
 We believe that even If the crop does reach the figures mentioned above that corn Is purchased and will ultimately sell much higher. Receipts were 251 cars with 365 estimated for Friday. Country acceptances continue light.

New York, September 5.-The firm tone that characterized the stock market yes- terday was again evident when business was resumed this morning. trading was In comparatively little volume, but was fairly we'll distributed and resulted in general advances.
 Nothing that was really novel was pre- scented for consideration in this morn ing's news, but there seemed to be much less apprehension currnt respecting the immediate developments in the money market. The steel strike situation was but little changed. The street learned with some surprise of attempt made yes terday to settle the matter as 1t had been generally understood that the Steel Cor poration would have no further dealings with the Amalgamated Association lead CTS directly or otherwise. Notably strong features of the stock market in the early dealings were M. K. & T., c. c. w, Mex. National and Er1es. St. Paul, Union Pa ciflc and the other usually active rail- way issues were dealt in at slight price changes. Among the specialties T. c. I. was particularly strong.

 New York. September 5.-rhe market for cotton futures opened steady in tone with prices 6 to 8 points higher and con- tinued to advance after the call on mod crate demand from room shorts and the more confident bulls. This buying was based on bullish Liverpool market news and favorable reports from Manchester. No change had been expected in Liver pool this morning, but prices there work ed up to points before we opened. Moreover, buying orders were sent to representatives here, while private cables stated spinners were bidding for spot supplies. Prices In the local market were advanced by bad crop accounts from the Southwest and from parts of the Atlantic States. Absence of free offerings by Southern spot dealers and increasing de- mand from exporters did much to help advance futures in New Orleans, which, ih turn, stimulated covering and new buying here. By midday the market was positively firm and net Il to IS points higher.
 The January and March options were the feverish points, though spot cotton interests operated almost exclusively in October. The spot month led in the up- turn, at one time being IS points over the close Of yesterday. But throughout the advance business as a whole was singu- larly quiet and at one time was concert ed effort made by the bulls to prop up the market. The better feeling was entirely due to legitimate influences and bulish trend of conditions in general. In the early afternoon October reached ITS and January 7.S4 on continued nervous buy ing to cover shorts. But at D. m. there was reactionary movement under scat tering sales for profits by pit longs. During the last hour the market was quiet but very steady and sensitive to buying orders.
 The market was finally steady, with prices net 12 to IA points higher.

New Orleans September 5.--There was rather better inquiry for spot cotton today. The improvement in spots at Liverpool and In contracts at all points imparted steadier tone to the market on this side, and though there was no decided betterment of the trading basis factors showed a disposition to hold for full and even higher priSAs.

Sales 1900 bales including zoo to arrive. Prices advanced 1sc. A fair volume of trading was noted In the market for contracts with the ad vantage still resting on the long side of the market.
