New York Cotton.

NEW YORK. Feb. i5.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with March points
lower and other months 1 to points high
er, this being a. very good showing in view
of the fact that Liverpool was down IL
to / point more than expected and receipts
at the ports were larger than last night
predicted. Commission houses were boun-
tifully supplied with buying orders and
shorts were by no means confident of their
position. Soon after the call the market
had a sharp reaction under active selling
for profits by inside longs, who believed
the market would be better in the end If
prices suffered a slight relapse at the mo-
ment. Whereas the March option started
relatively lower than the rest of the list,
It later regained its former strong position
which it retained practically to the end of
the session. Throughout the morning
trade was quite active and general with
the bears held we'll in check by bullish
private reports from southern spot mar
kets. Bad weather over the central and
eastern portions of the belt prompted pre-
dictiops for smaller movement next
week. The south and wire houses were
free buyers in the local ring In the hrst
hour. Wall street supported May.
The market for futures closed very

GIRL BURNED
tt. DEATH ON
DUTY
TRAGIC FATE OF MISS MAMIE Nc.
KANE AT CHARLOTTE TELE-
PHONE EXCHANGE ON,
SATURDAY.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. 15.-Miss Ma
mie McKane, night operator in the Char
lote telephone office, was so badly burned
at an early hour this morning that she
died at one O'Clock today
At 3:45 o'clock this morning smoke Is
suing from the Office of the telephone corl-
pany on North TryOn street caused Police
man Hargett to turn in a fire alarm and
as he and Policeman Johnson ran to-
ward the building. they heard the scream
ing of some one in agony.
Just as the officers started to run up
the steps that led to the telephone Office.
which is on the third floor of the building.
they saw a woman whose clothes were
burning from feet to head run down the
last flight of stairs This was Miss Nc
Kane. The officers seized her, covered her
as well as possible with snow and at
tempted to extinguish the flames. but lit
tie clothing covered the unfortunate girl,
and in few minutes these ceased to
shoulder and she was carried into Jor-
dams drug store.
It was discovered that her clothing the
entire length of her body had been burn
ed until at touch it fell away and exposed
. sadly blackened and burned flesh
Her agony was intense and most pitia-
BILE. Miss McKane. who was conscious
and talked of the condition stated that
her clothing caught from the stove in the
office. This stove was in the north side
of the room and is well closed except for
a small aperture in front. 1t is presumed
that her clothing caught as she sat over
the stove and being thin, were in full
blaze before she could make any effort TO
extinguish the flames.
The injured woman was hurried to a
hospital where she died this afternoon.
In the room with Miss McKane was her
brother Paul. a boy of years, who slept
on some blankets in the corner Of the
room. As she ran here and there in the
room. the clothing from Miss McKape's
clothes set fire to these blankets and they
were hurled subsequently from the win
dow to the pavement.
Paul stated that he was awakened by
hearing his sister scream and knows
nothing as to the origin Of the fire.

Isadore Minder. the Macon murderer,

mainder of his days in the penitentiary.
AT present he is under sentence to hang,

here. and stated that Judge FELTON, and
himself had come TO the conclusion that
he should not hang as they believed him
insane. and that they would join In the
appeal 10 the prison commission to COM
mute his sentence 70 life Imprisonment.
Minder has been represented all through
his cases by John r. Cooper. a wen

that he would fight the case to the last

Murphy g Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.--Contrary TO the gem
eral expectation the cotton market not only
failed TO give way but showed an advance of
several points at the opening. Buyers were en-
couraged that Liverpool made fair showing
and indications of further liberal movement
the coming week estimated by some as much
as %, 900 ahead of last year which figures are
improbable The persistency with which the
market fails TO give away has simply amazed
the bears who are beginning to believe there
is after all something in the claims Of excel
lent business and generally magnificent trade
surroundings as attested by the immense
ports. A few outside buying orders appeared
during the morning but the short session. de-
veloped pothing of sensational character. Ac-
cording to the Chronicle review for the week
dry goods marked strength in cotton goods pre-
walls Buyers are still indisposed TO purchase
more than they need for current requirement
in line OF staple and fancy goods. From the
buyers point of view the market does not
improve but the course of market for raw ma
terial makes in favor Of the sellers and it is
practically certain that buyers must before long
operate a more liberal scale as their current
needs increasing. Liverpool today declined
to points on the heavy movement Of past
week. Memphis people are talking builish;
they regard the situation from every standpoint
as phenomenally strong and ground is taken
that much attention has been given to the
crop and too little to demand
