The local cotton market closed quiet,
position among factors to sell. The
same was true in the free-on- board
market, in which there were no large
offerings, and these only at top prices.
Basis good middling brought sac, with
the offerings limited at this price.
Cotton futures at New York closed
higher, with trading fairly active dur
ing most of the day. Influenced by
the larger receipts at the ports the
market was held back some. The de-
mand from shorts is much less than
d few days ago, which means that all
outstanding business following the bu-
reau report has been about covered.
A revival of speculation is looked for
in some quarters, and if demand is
stirred up contracts are likely to seek
a higher level according to the best
observers.
Naval stores closed with the feeling
favorable to the market. Spirits ruled
firm at 35%c, With the demand good.
Resins closed steady, and in demand,
particularly as to II and below. The
wholesale markets closed steady. In
the produce branches the demand was
good to-day, shipments exceeding those
for any one day in weeks Merchants
have not been able to order perishable
stuff up to this time, and are now lay
ing it in for their Christmas trade. The
following resume of the markets will
show their tone quotations at the clos

OIL GUSHER!
Columbia Prospectors Think They
Have Struck One.
1t Bubbles Out of the Ground Near
White Springs, and Being Tested
is Pronounced Good.

An oil we'll has been discovered near
White Springs, in North Columbia.
How deep the well and how copious the
flow, remains to be seen. But that it is
a good quality of oil, the parties inter
ested claim to have proven by a chemi-
cal test.
The land was purchased this week by
A. Maxvill from Mr.. f. H. Smith, and
Maxvill has taken in with himself on
the ground floor, Messrs. G. n. McLe,
more, Meade Frierson and Will fowler,
and further investigations will be made
at once.
The doubling Thomases say the oil is
only the refuse from the Ice Factory,
but the owners are not to be discouraged
by that Some of them claim to have
gone further into the ground than that,
and they say it is only question OF
quantity.

A NEGRO'S BOLD ATTEMPT
To Garry Off Two Girls at Baptist
Orphanage.

Nashville, Tenn, June An I'M
known negro made bold attempt last
night to carry away two little girls
from the Baptist Orphanage. located
in West Nashville, a suburb about five
miles from this city. All the adults
in the Orphanage had gone to church
and the children were playing in a
large room when they We're startled
by the entrance of a negro, who seized
a girl about fourteen years of age and
attempted to drag her from the room,
but she screamed and jerked away.
Her dress was torn almost off in her
efforts to get away from the negro.
The negro then seized another little
girl by the hair, but by this time the
cildren were all screaming and the
instruder, becoming frightened, broke
away.
Two negroes who were seen near the
Orpahnage a short time before the in
cident were arrested at an early hour
this morning, but they protest their
innocence. There is much excitement
in the neighborhOOd.
