NEW POSTMASTER.
w. H. Davie Received Appoint
ment Yesterday.

AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon
The TRIBUNE had the pleasure of
notifying w. H Davie of his APP
pointment as postmaster for this
city, and it was not long before the
news had become general, and Mr.
Davie was receiving the congratu-
lations of his friends. The an.
nouncement that a change was to
be made was genuine surprise to
the community, for no opetitlou had
been circulated,' and even Mr..
Davie expressed surprise.
The appointment, however,
seems to meet with general salts
faction. Two years ago, when an
appointment was to be made to
succeed Mr.. Guilinger, there was a
close race between Davie and
Rambo, so close, in fact, that it
was toss up between the two At
any rate, he received splendid en-
dorsement, and now that change
is to be made Mr.. Davie is the log
ical successor to Mr.. Rambo.
w. H. Davie was born in Flush
ing, Michigan, in 1865, where he
resided until thirteen years ago,
when he became resident of Col
orado Springs. There he engaged
as travelling salesman for large,
wholesale grocery house.
Later he removed to Cripple
Greek where he became proprietor
of the Palace Pharmacy on Ben
nett avenue.
Five yeas ago Mr. Davie came
to Florence and opened the Palace
Pharmacy in the building which
he now owns, next to the Bank
block, on Pixies Peak avenue, and
where he still continues to hold
forth. He has always been re-
publican, and while not an office
seeker, he has taken lively inter
est in politics, always willing to do
anything required for the good of
his party.
AS The TRIBUNE has heretofore
announced, on July / this will be
made a postoffice of the second
class. In an interview with Mr.
Davie this morning, THE TRIBUNE
learned something of his plans in
the matter of conducting the office
He will install an entire new set of
up-to-date fixtures, there will he
no store in the same room with the
office, and it will be so arranged
that patron of the Office will not
need to depend upon store hours
for getting his mail He also
promises to have force of adult,
experienced clerks, and, in fact, he
will spare no pains or expense to
make the office A | in every par
ticular. We predict for the pa
irons of the Office under the new
management every courtesy and
universal satisfaction.

New York Cotton Futures. r,v Private Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co.
Murnhx E. coz Cotton Letter.

New York May 24. - The weather throuehout the South today was favorable for the crop. At Palestine. Tex. there was a rain fall of .7S inch: at Waco heavy fall The whole South was else where clear with temperature regaraeo as favorable for the growing crop. lne question now is how long will the favor- able conditions prevail. It Is possible tnaI the long period of drought may be follow ed by a second period of drought equally protracted, and this should not be lost sight of. There has not been much pusi- ness of late, but the folly of disposing or cotton around the present prices IS ao- mitted by all except chronic pears or most pronounced type.
 Fine rains which have followed the long dry spell do not insure good crop that is certain. There Is much ahead to con tend with in the way of weather and wise people are not jumping to conclusions that the extremely reverse conditions which prevailed before the long drought have been wholly overcome or may not be again repeated
 July manipulation absorbs attention. Much may result from this but we at tach more importance to the relatively low price of cotton. now prevailing for which there Is no justification. not even so-called unsatisfactory trade conditions and lack of speculation. People will re- cognize this fact before long and buy cotton on its merits. First sales were at a slight advance and later on July made a spurt of nine to eleven points. but the rise was not maintained, other months att tracted little attenion. Liverpool re- ported an advance of two and half points for the near positions. Estimated receipts at ports, 12,000, against $500 last year.

Cotton Letter.

Britain & Co.'s Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, May A.-Continued un- easness in regard to manipulative infiu- ences as effecting the summer months, remains the interesting feature of the cotton market. At the opening shorts were eager buyers of July contracts at some points advance and following the upturn in New York, the market quick ly rose, until July sold at 7.5e, the high est price recently touched. After the most urgent demand from scared shorts had been met, a recession of several points resulted, and the final closing showed a gain of 10 points on July. The distant months. influenced by favorable weather for the growing crop, were rather easy' making a loss of 1 to ? points.
 The weekly crop movement statement shows amount brought into sight 7O,63S vs. 51, ,731 for the corresponding week last year Indications point to total crop of about 10, 200, 900 bales. In any event IL appears that the government bureau re- port of December 10 last is approxi- mately right Long after the issuance or this estimate and even when the supse- uuent crop movement tended to verify the correctness of the report, cotton sold well above cents, and many of the best informed considered cents fully jus tified with a crop equal to the figures named.
 It is a strange circumstance to relate how opinions have undergone so radical a change, but very true many Of the most pronounced 91a cent bulls are now equal iv aggressive 7h cent bears. The rem nant of this crop does not appear high to us at current quotations, indeed 1t Is lower we think, than Justified even in the face of greatly modified trade oe- mand and moor dry goods business, and on this account as well as fear of manip- ulation. we have all along advised against going short of the summer months on basis of anything like cur rent prices. We think 1t is decidedly wiser to confine speculative operations to the fall or winter months where Judgment can be exercised and demand and supply will be the controlling factors in nxine values uninfuenced by manipulation

THE.JULY DEAL KEPT COTTON ALIVE The Session Was Dull But Not
 Uninterestlng NEW CROP BOUGHT AT 7c The Crop and Weather Advices Were Favorable as a Whole-closed
 Steady Within a Small
 Range.


 New York, May Alt was a dull but not uninteresting day on the Cotton Ex- change. The further working out of the July ."dear' in the usual manner kept the attention of brokers there as during the past week. The highest price reached in many days for July was touched soon after the call, when shorts paid 7.S5 for several hundred bales. The opening was steady with prices two points lower to three points higher with room operators very much confused. Immediately fol- lowing the call there was a sudden urgent demand for the summer months which carried July up to 7.S5 and August to 7.2s During the balance of the morning and much of the later session fluctuations were irregular and qdiet owing to the im- petuous room operations rather than to outside interests. Conservative operators bought the new crop positions below cents The crop and weather advices were favorable as whole, the English markets showing little disposition to fol- low our market, while receipts continued on heavy scale. Europe and the South were light buyers of the near months on Lile tdTiys TlScs TOOIli lfddctS Hho AA'N loaded up last night sold for profits. The market was finally steady with prices net six points higher to one point lower.
