Markets.
Morning News Office,
Tuesday, May a.
The advancing tendency and firmness
of the rosin market was the feature of
local trading to-day. Advances were
scored on the higher grades at the open
ing, at which transactions of a round
lot were made. After the closing the de-
nand apparently received a further i'm
petus. which resulted in prices taking an
other squirt of from &c to 1Oc. The i'm
provement after the closing seems to point
with certainty to the strong undertone
of the market, since the early advances
we're not only maintained, but better
prices obtained on probably the entire list.
Spirits turpentine closed Arm at 31kc,
with the demand good and the entire of
the offerings taken at the official quota
ton.
The cotton market closed easier and I'M
changed, with a light business reported,
both from the tables and for f. o. b. ship
ment. Cotton futures at New York closed
STEADY, points higher on near months,
and 1d2 points lower on far months
Showers were reported in many sections
of the cotton belt, which had depress-
ing effect on prices. New York stocks
ruled weak at the decline. Money on call
steady at 3@6 per cent. The following re-
sumo OF the markets will show their tone
and quotations at the closing to-day:

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET
HI. & b. Beers Cotton Letter

New Orleans, May H-Early Liverpool
advices were not encouraging, therefore
our market opened ! to 2 lower, but I'M
proved to 8 in the subsequent tirmness
in Liverpool, which was due to the is
suance of bullish circular by Mr.. Eli
son. Values ruled steady thereafter be-
ing stimulated by the unfavorable weekly
weather report. The recent beneficial
rains, however, seem to have been ig-
nored to a certain extent in the document
as showers were again reported generally
throughout the belt for the past twenty
four hours and additional rains took
place to-day in sections of Alabama, Tex
as and Oklahama. The belief that suf-
ficient moisture has been realized in most
portions of the belt, as well as the con-
tinuation OF heavy receipts and a restrict
ed spot demand, all combined to occasion
uneasiness near the close, superinducing
a break of to from the top, making
quote tons practically unchanged on the
day for old crop months, whereas the
lew were l to 2 points higher Mr.. Eli
son says Europeans mills stock have de-
creased $4,000 against same time last
year. Deliveries Lancaster remainder sea-
son will probably be 200, 600 TO 800, 600 more
than corresponding time last year. If such
Is the case then it will mean that Great
Brtain's supply of raw cotton will be
augmented by this amount of excess, and
as Manchester cables of to-day state that
market getting worse, necessitating the
stoppage Of some looms, 1t would look
as if this increased addition to the Ian
cashire spinners supply would mean an
over abundance of either the raw article
or the manufactured product, with con-
tinued favorable weather for the grow
ing crop. Prices are apt to seek lower
level providing manipulation of the sum-
mer months in New York does not enter
as a leading feature.

New York. May H.-Liverpool was
sharply lower before our opening, but
here the local trade expected a rather
poor weekly government report as il
would be compiled before the recent
showers on this theory, and on a report
that Ellison would issue a bullish circu-
lar, our market was bought by local in
terests and slowly improved. Little at
tention was paid to receipts as it Is now
generally admitted the crop is much larg-
er than thought possible, and that there
will be a surplus at the end the sea-
son to be carried over. Interest now CEN
tiers upon the weather from day to day
and prices will be mainly governed by the
day bulletins.

ms was most noticeable on the decline.
Inc cables were Disappointing and the
movement of the crop again exceeded pre-

Provisions ofAll Kinds Way up in the
Clouds.
FOOD SUPPLIES ARE SCARCE.
Prospectors Should Remain Out Until Spring
as Nothing Can be Done This Winter.

There is scarcity of provisions
in Thunder Mountain district and
prices of necessities are rapidly ad-
vancing to the high figures that once
ruled in the Klondike.
A letter was received by e. III.
Dewey, at Nampa, from Thomas
Babbitt, manager of the Dewey prop
ertles in the famous district. The
contents were telephoned by Mr..
Dewey to Max Mayfied, of this city.
Mr.. Babbitt states that provisions
are very scarce in the camp and that
present prices being asked for
leading stapl are: Flour, $3.50
per 100 pounds; sugar, $25 per 100
pounds; bacon, $50 per 100 pounds.
Mr. Babbitt desires to send olt .
warning to all intending to go into
the district to bring plenty of provi-
sions to last the length of time they
intend to stay. With the closing of
winter and the roads becoming
practically impossible, Mr.. Babbitt
figures that there is a likelihood Of
positive scarcity Of provisions before
spring. Of course the manager of
the Dewey properties have arranged
for supply for the men employed
by the company, but prospectors
have come into the district in con-
siderable numbers who are running
short on provisions.

some more of their vicious work
against legitimate operators in Seven
Devils Reinhold skinned on
to Salt Lake to capture this
car of ore from the Boston
& S. d. But as he was unable to
identify the particular car, he
attached and tied up the three cars
of Seven Devils ore. Although it
would seem that in justice he could
not hold up the cars of a third and
dlsinterested party in order to secure
the B & S. d. car, it seems he
succeeded in doing so, and where
Carruthers expected to secure returns
from the ore, he WAS prevented from
doing so by the tangle and being de-
prived of these funds at a critical
moment the assignment became neces-
sary. They expect to have all finan-
cial matters straig ghtened out in
short time, which will be good news
to their many friends.

FERRY MEETING.
Preliminary Steps Taken In the Mat
ter of Snake River Crossing.

In obedience to a call for a mass
meeting at the opera house to con-
slider the matter of establishing a
public ferry across Snake river a fair
number of citizens gathered at the
opera house Tuesday evening. DR..
Foreman acted as chairman of the
meeting. The matter was discussed
quite thoroughly, and it was finally
decided to appoint committee to
investigate the matter of cost, loca-
ton, ETC. The following gentlemen
were placed on the committee: DR..
Foreman, Dr. Davis and d. A. Utter
of Weiser and Messrs Patch ano
Green of the Oregon side. The feel
ing was that the project could be
successfully carried out. The at
tendance of business men was ex
tremely small
