some cases. The domestic situation on
the whole was regarded as somewhat
improved. Returns from the corn-grow-
ing sections were fairly satisfactory and
the feeling seemed to be confident that
the various strikes in the steel and an
thracite coal trades would not be of pro-
tracted duration. Satisfactory returns
of railway traffic were forthcoming this
morning and particularly in the instance
OF the st. Paul Company Nothing of
any Importance bearing on particular
stocks was disclosed in the news of the
morning. The market showed a decided
tendency to rally after the depression at
the opening under the leadership of ST.
Paul, Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific. The steel issues were heavily dealt
in, but within narrow limits. The local
traction stocks retained the firm tone
that has characterized them for some

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET
Murphy & Co.'s cotton Letter.

New York, July 17.-Much to the sur
prise of the trade Texas advices this
morning were without indications of rain
at any point in the state, although
cloudy conditions were forecasted for the
day and night Sellers again withdrew
and left the bulls in full control. and
prices showed Improvement of 3 to s
points. At Augusta, Ga, there were
heavy rains, and Little Rock had mois-
ture, likewise New Orleans, Atlanta,
Charleston and Savannah. The morn
ing papers claimed big rains in Missis-
sippi and Arkansas, but these were with
out effect on the market The situation
so far as regards sentiment has under
gone no marked change of late. Bulls are
tenaciously clinging to the short crop
and high-price theory, and without soak
ing rains in Texas it will apparently be
impossible to dislodge them from their
position. Every days delay must
strengthen them on their position, no
matter how much we may hear of the
crop being all right, and the trade be-
ing dericed as to the actual Texas sit
uation. Since March l, the deficiency in
moisture at various points has been, as

Brookhaven, Miss, Port Gibson, and
Natchez reported rain, the latter a heavy
one. The scalping element had things
their own way. Outside interests were
dormant Again the forecast for Texas
was fair. and while this tended to check
selling, it failed to do more than main
tain prices. Port receipts, 5000, against

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-02-08
AMERICANS ARE FAR AHEAD.
Machinists OF the United States Have
No Equals in Any Other
Land.

One of the greatest obstacles to the
general introduction of American ma
chine tools into continental Europe is
the ignorance of the average Euro
pean machinist. This is especially true
of the higher classes of machine tools.
The intelligence which enablesan Amer
lean mechanic to understand and op-
crate machine seems to be dormant
or entirely wanting in his European
brother. The American Manufacturer
quotes the sales manager of one of
the leading manufactures of machine
tools in this country as saying:
Install fine machine in shop on
the continent, and unless the maker
has sent with it from the works an
expert to break the dunderheads into
the using of it the chances are three
to one that the perfect mechanism
will be wreck inside of 4s hours after
the power is applied to it. Accustomed
to work with tools that are crude and
simple, compared with the ingenious
and intricate American inventions, the
operating machinists of Europe are
slow to comprehend the Latter and
often do them a lot of damage by
stupid handling. These facts are SO
well recognized by our machine tool
builders that when giving an estimate
on any considerable amount of work
care is had to add enough to the price
to cover the sending of man, or men,
to install the machines and stay with
them until they have proved their
merits"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-02-08
HOW TO LENGTHEN SKIRTS.
IL May Be Done Very Nicely
by Using Accordion
Plating.

"Should skirt be too short len CITIZEN
it by the use of the highly favored ac-
Gordon plating, using strip of ten
yards for the bottom of the skirt and
putting it on from five to eight inches
Deep" writes Emma M. Hooper, in La
dies Home Journal. THE piaitin g
may be of cheap taffeta, as plaitings
do not show the quality.
"Stitch on with the hem row of
mohair skirt binding so as to project
beyond the plating and protect the
edge. This plating may be sewed to
the lining, which should be made as a
drop skirt. Cut the silk over it in deep
scallops and finish with rows of black
velvet ribbon or tiny ruche of black
gauze ribbon. Or the skirt may be
heightened with two narrow circular
ruffles.
''This will make handsome skirt
to wear with separate waists, and if
there is sufficient material for part of
bodice left press it into service for
sleeves from elbow to shoulder, and
make the bodice with plain back and
loose fronts from a yoke. The collar,
yoke and sleeves may be of black taft
feta in fine tucks, and finished with
narrow jet if an all-black gown is want
ed, or these accessories may be of pink,
green, blue or lavender silk, of jetted
