The little government boat Ruth is
being entirely rebuilt, and when Capt.

she will be very neat craft, indeed.
Capt. Winan's bow boats, the Satel-
lite and the Pathfinder, and his speedy
naptha launch are in the ice in
Kahlke's yard. The two former will
receive some repairs, and the latter is
understood to be for sale.
Building Big Transfer Barge.
The>only new boat under construc-
ton this season is big transfer
barge for the McEwen & Thomas
Brick company, of st. Louis. 1t will
carry three cars it's full length and
will have capacity of nine cars. 1t
will be used to transfer cars from the
company's kilns in Calhoun county
to st. Louis, and also to inaugurate a
new departure in the sand business.
The intention is to load the barge
with cars and pump the sand direct
from the river into the cars instead of
onto boats, as formerly, necessitating
its reloading to the cars. The Susan,
owned by the same company, was
built here five years ago.
j. j. Kahlke, senior member of the
| firm of Kahlke Brothers, showed an
ARRUs reporter about the yards. and
among other things told of the diff
Guilty experienced in getting the tim
Der necessary for boat building to this
locality. The only timber obtainable
now is the product of the fir forests on
the Pacific coast. Some of the planks
at the yard are so feet in length and
require two cars placed together to
accommodate them. A load of this
kind costs about $500 in freight alone,
or more than the original cost of the
lumber. In Mr.. Kahlke's opinion, the
opening of the Panama canal will rev.
olutionize the trade in the big tim Der
of the Pacific coast.
Repairs on w. & ID. Boats.
At Weyerhauser & Denkmann's yard
the f. Weyerhauser, the II. G. Brock
mann, w. ID. Kendall and E. Rut-
ledge are being overhauled under the
direction of ForemanH. G. Brockmann.
The Weyerhauser has a new deck and
will be painted. The Kendall is hav-
ing a new deck put on. The Brock
mann has a new deck and boilers and
is receiving extensive repairs to her
machinery. The Rutledge is to have
a general overhauling. The Ondine,
built two years ago by f p. Denk-
mann for pleasure boat, has been sold
to Charles Brusso, of Andalusia, who
will use her in general towing bust
ness during the coming summer be-
tween Rock Island and Davenport and
near down river points. MIR. Denk-
mann is having plans prepared for
another pleasure boat to be built on
different and more elaborate lines.
Other boats in this yard are the
clam boat Climax, and the Prescott
and dredge Visco, belonging to the
Davis company.
Work is being pushed on the Weyer-
hauser & Denkmann, boats with al
possible speed so that they may be
ready to lake to the river as soon
after March 10 as the ice goes out.
The lum Der yards of the company are
almost depleted, and orders are being
refused daily because of lack of q
supply.

months with a net advance of to 8 points.
 The new crop positions were quiet, with rather sagging tendency on selling, in- duced by favorable showers and higher temperatures in nearly all portions of the belt, and the general improved tenor of crop advices. The close on these months was practically a stand-off.
 The advance of one-sixteenth in Liver pool today leaves New York no longer higher than Liverpool, and with spin ners bidding so freely for cotton there Is considerable probability that cotton will not be shipped to New York so freely. The means of the parties inter ested in manipulation will not increase as they have been doing. and augurs greater success for the bull clique than anything that has appeared for some time. For this reason we advise remaining out of the summer months as manipula- tion promised to remain the controlling influence. a
 It will be well to remember, however, that Texas Is getting pretty dry, and that the crop is two or three weeks late.

COTTON MARKET A LITTLE STRONGER Opened Quiet, But Advanced on
 Outside Buying CLOSED AT BEST FIGURES The Disappearance of Outside Buyers Worked of Several Points at
 Noon, But Turned Stronger
 On Fresh Scare Of Shorts.
CLOSED AT BEST FIGURES

New York, June 12.-Summer months passed through another trying ordeal in cotton speculative markets today. Lo- oally the situation appeared to have grown considerably stronger over night. On the first call the market was quiet with prices unchanged to 3 points lower the latter re- sulting from light proft-taking. Outside buying then made its appearance and turned the market upwards. Active room covering set In and through the rest of the morning session the market displayed pronounced strength. July worked up to BPS and August to 76S. after which a strong buying for profit-taking and a turn caused slight reaction. Late cables por- trayed a readiness on Liyerpoors part to respond to anything in the way of bull developments here and at the close that market was very steady at very nearly the best figures of the day. Under strong buying for outside account and a with drawal of early buyers, the local market worked off to SIS for July and 760 for August soon after midday but soon turn ed strong on a fresh scare of shorts and the appearance of big buying orders from tuo OOuln anu west. ITduluS DSCdillS very active and for the rest of the day the market exhibited emphatic strength. The new crop position did not follow the ad- vance In the near months owing to the important character of crop news. Re- ceipts at the ports were heavy, but had been discounted. The close was steady with prices net unchanged to points higher.
