New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July 3.-There was not much doing today in the spot cotton market. Buyers were holding off, as a rule. to await the announcement of the bureau report tomorrow, covering crop conditions and it's resultant effect upon contracts. Factors were asking full pre- vious prices, but they. too, were inclined to go slowly for the time being and made no very great effort to force the trading. Sales 600 bales. including 400 to arrive. Quotations unchanged,
 The market for contracts was very quiet during the morning hours. There was some little trading of general char acter, but operators, as class, were in- clired to hold off and await the bureau report of average conditions throughout the belt before moving actively. The re- port had the effect of strengthening the market, but the tendency to work clcse- hauled and though fluctuations during the day were fairly wide the closing showed no change in July, August was points lower, while the other months gained 6 points each compared with yesterday s closing prices.

Sturges, owner of the bank, and by the appoint ment of a receiver for the Mansfield { Machine Works. capital $500. .ooo. which were controlled by Sturges and his as- Sociates.
 The Sturges Bank was a private in- stitution. Its depositors were mostly grain men and farmers. None of the other banks will be affected.
 William M. NSturges is interested in numerous enterprises. He is breeder of flne cattle. giving great deal of his time to that matter. He owns lumber works, a coal yard and large stock farm. He owns valuable prop erty here, and was engaged in building a number of houses in the south part of the city.
 H. B. Dirlam began work as the as- signee of MT. Sturges this afternoon.
 MT. Sturges filed suit against the Mansfield Machine Works to assess fhe stockholders. This concern also went into the hands of a receiver to- day, A. A. Peck, President of the com pany, being appointed receiver. His bond was fixed at $50.000. He was giv- en authority to continue running the plant, which employees several hundred men. Its capital is s3o0,000. Mir. Stur- ges owned ss2.500 of stock in this con- cern and was an indorser for over x50.000 of it's paper.
 Other heavy stockholders are John E. Sturges. Mary D. Sturges. A. A. Peck and A. A. Peck, guardian.
 There is a large number of stock holders. among them being the late John Sherman whose estate still holds a few shares. The machine works have not paid any dividends for five years.
 There have not been any Aiditional failures, but claims are being put in by creditors. No schedule has been filed as yet. and no statement has been made of assets and liabilities. Other banks of the city claim the failure of William Sturges had been expected for months. though to the general public 1t was a great surprise.
