HUBERT THOMPSON SERIOUSLY BURN
ED.
Hubert Thompson, who resides on
Grove street, was seriously burned on
Saturday night. He was engaged in
taking an alcohol bath when the lamp
exploded, setting fire to the bed cloth
ing and burning him badly about the
back and limbs. He managed to seize
his pantaloons, and breaking window
got out on to shed roof, where he
shouted Justify for help. William
Harris was the first to respond to his
cries, and after persistent work the
fire was subdued. DR. Wright was sum-
moned at once and attended to the
burns of the suffering man. Mr.
Thompson is So years old, and is part
ly paralyzed. He is a member OF the
local Odd Fellow and Masonic frater-
mites. 1t is believed he will make a
recovery, although his burns are quite
painful.

New Orleans, April 1.-The advices from
Liverpool were very discouraging, and al
though our market responded by open
ing 7GS points Hower, it soon became evil
dent that nervous shorts were anxious
to cover, which superinduced an advance
of 17G1S points from the bottom. This
buying fever was in sympathy with the
course of New York on rumors that ma
ipulation might be attempted there on
the May position. Near the close values
eased off, making the net gain on the
day SAT points. Port receipts for the
three days aggregate $1,000 bales, against
1900 last week and 10000 last year.
The four principal interior towns dur
ing the same time have received 5000
bales against only 500 last year, and
the loss in stocks is 5000 bales, against
II 900 last year, therefore, from statis-
tistical standpoint the situation is weaker

to be expected, still whenever they ma

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.


New York, April Liverpool does not
recover from the amount of cotton which
is being daily offered and shipped to that
market. This market expected an advance
and was disappointed in the decline. The
local traders are basing their operations
upon the policy of buying on all weak
moments so long as prices remain so
much below the usual parity with Liver
pool. Receipts at the semi-weekly towns
point to $1,000 bales against $500 last sea-
son. The Bombay receipts are $4,000 bales
against 5000 last year. After the opening
arbitrage brokers were sellers, having
bought on the depression creating a rally
abroad, while the market here moved
upwards on the idea of another reaction
in Liverpool tomorrow. Trading has been
reduced to small proportions pending a
reimbursement of the difference between
the markets.
