New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. l3-The spot cotton market is still in quiescent mood Buyers content themselves with the work of overlooking the tables with out evincing any very great desire to trade while factors. though offering free " the medium and poorer grades are equally indifferent as to the conr umnIa- tion Of sales when transactions involve the making of concessions Tn favor of the purchasing element There is nothing in sight at present to swing sentiment Very strongly in either direction and as uncer- tainty begets fdeness operators in spots 8 are just now disposed to watch the drift Of events from safe distance Sales, L. 2o0 bales, including 200 to arrive Quota tfonS unchanged.
 The movement in contracts was of very moderate proportions today and what trading was inlulged in represented large ly the ventures of scaipers whose cppor- tunities to turn penny were made fre- 1uent and fairly brisk fluctuations .n prices covering the several positions. The situation was not so comfortable from the standpoint of the bulls today. The mar ket showed first call losses of 5010 points Alter the opening there was a slight ten dency to advance prices but this senti- ment was soon changed by the Govern ment rain reports from Texas and the early gain of 3@5 points from the call figures were pared away until the close. when August showed a loss of 12 points and the other positions were 647 points lower than yesterday.

WALL STREET REVIEW
BUSINESS YESTERDAY, WAS ON
 A SMALL SCALE.
At the Same Time a Wider Distri- button of the Dealings Was
 Shown-Strength in Many ' Important Stocks. .-

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Business today
 was on small scale. but there was
 wider distribution of the dealings.
 Strength was shown by many important tinued irregular. The opening was higher on a resumption of yesterdays strength
 and the good tone of the London market.
 The fortnightly settlement abroad was
 arranged satisfactorily and arbitrage
 houses bought more literally here than
 for some days. First prices were not
 long maintained as traders realized. but
 when demand arose from the Eastern
 trunk lines and bituminous coal road
 stocks the entire market rallied sharply.
 Sugar was about the only notable excep-
 tion to today's strength, the bears low
 ering it points at one time and sell
 ing steadily when it rallied. There was
 little news of importance bearing on either the crop conditions or the steel strike and the influence was less marked
 Frequent relapses in prices were made. causing the Pacific stocks to sag tempo
 rarily under yesterdays close When pressure relaxed prices rallied easily and as there were large purchases of St.
 Paui and the Eastern stocks. shorts cov- cred more generally in the market. The improvement in the trunk lines and soft coal stocks was partly due to the benefits expected to accrue from the recent form ation of a bituminous coal combination. New York Central made the largest rise or 3A. but Baltimore and Ohio, Penn sylvania, Chesapeake and Ohio and Nor ioih anu western averaged z points Det- ter. Minor Vanderbilt stocks sympathized
 with the movement in New York Central, especially Cleveland. C. C. and St. Louis
 St. Paul was taken in good amounts and advanced SIS on. reports that there might
 be an increased dividend declared next
 month. Short buying was considered to
 be responsible for the improved tone of the&zharket. but the waning influence of was also considered. Western and Pacific stocks followed pretty closely in the wake of St. Paul on its advance and the grain carrying roads were helped by the heavi- ness of the grain market. The coalers. fractions and some of the lower priced industrials showed good strength at vari ous times. the strong rise in International Paper being due to expectations of a very favorable annual statement. But little interest was manifested in the United States Steel stocks and they moved quite generally, independently of other stocks. An early rise of ss and <. respectively. in the common and preferred were fol- lowed by a gradual decline and they "nd- ed only h ard F higher. The large pay ments made by the sub-treasury on ac count of army and navy credits and some receipts of gold at Pacific Coast points caused a loss of about $1, ,000 by the banks to the sub-treasury up to yester- | day to be turned into gain about as much. The stock market closed strong | and at about the best of the principal features.
 The bond market was quiet and firm. Total sales. par value, $960.000. United | Sttaes bonds were all unchanged on the | last call.

DEAD AMONG THE WIRES
NEGRO LINEMAN INSTANTLY
 KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Body of William Cameron Suspended Forty Feet Above PavementAof Dexter Avenue-Taken
 Down by Firemen.

The dead body of a negro suspended from an electric light pole on Dexter Avenue yesterday morning about 10 o'clock attracted the attention of all who passed that way and a great crowd assembled.
 t William Cameron. a negro lineman of the Montgomery Light and Power Company. had ascended the pole at the Metropontan Hotel corner to connect some wires with the transformer which ts on pole at that corner. The pri- mary wires which furnish the current 10 the transformer were carrying a cur rent of twenty three hundred volts.
 The negro was working with an as- sistant and they had skinned the in sulated wires ready to put them to- gether. He had fixed his body around among the arms and cross pieces and about the pole so he would not easily fall. and be free to work with the wires. He had the two small wires in his hands and placed them to the big wire at the same time, having skinned the big wire for the purpose. The mo- ment he touched the wires together he made a short circuit of his body. All the voltage of the big primary wire. twenty three hundred volts, passed through his body and he was dead in an instant.
 His companion and those working be- low heard a hissing sound and they saw Cameron straighten out and knew that he was dead. He fell across the network of wires. His forefingers on each hand were burned almost entirely off. But for the presence of mind of. the negro on the pole with the dead man who kept his head off the wires 1t would have been burned also. as 1t fell forward on the big wires. but was instantly removed.
 The body of the negro remained there for some time before the current could be shut off. and when that was done steps were taken at once to remove the body The Hook and Ladder Company of the Fire Department was called and the firemen readily responded and with the assistance of the workmen soon removed the body, which was taken down by using an aerial ladder.
 The body of the negro was taken to a colored undertaking establishment and prepared for burial at the expense of the Light Company.
 The ghastly sight of dead man sus- pended forty feet in the air attracted a large crowd and when the body was being removed the streets and side walks in that part of the city were damned with people on foot and in all kinds of vehicles. Business was sus- pended for the time.
 Coroner Tice held an investigation which resulted as above stated. A per- init was issued for removal of the body.

FOR FUTURES
OPENING WAS EASY WIFE ,. ERIcEs DOWN.
Government Report Was Far More Bullish Than Had Been Expect ed and Shorts Rushed
 Hastily to Cover.

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-Tne market for cotton futures opened easy in tone with prices down fGS points under selling for both accounts by room traders. the South ana foreign interests. Local sentiment
 was decidedly bearish due to reports of Eooo rains where much needed in Texas, forecasts for continued precipitation over tne southwest tonight and tomorrow and increasing receipts of new cotton. The Engllshy market news showed a decline or z1sdo points where but little change had been expected. This weakness in I.iv- erpooi was asCribed by private cables to ceiling by large Alexandria firms and to the rain news from Texas. Before o'clock shorts began to anticipate an un- favorable weekly Government report. due at l2 m This buying rallied prices quite sharply. Then came the Government statement. showing rapid deterioration of the crop in Central Texas from drought and poor conditions in Tennessee. A rapid turn for cover sent prices to .as. nights bids with shorts much alarmed. But as investment buying did not msteri
 aiize and as the New Orleans market lost its advance quickly selling for a decline to the opening figures became popular. October sold of to 723 and January to 7.N. The market was finally quiet and steady with prices net id7 points lever.
