Local Cotton Market.
b. n. Scale q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. July 24.-Thsre was a gen.
eral slump in the price of cotton to-day, hav-
ing Its origin in fine crop accounts and fears
OF heavy early receipts which exerted an
initial influence. Liverpool establishing a de-
cine Of some 4-64d IN deliveries and i-32
In spots with sales OF 10000 bales The de-
Ginning tendency spread to this side with
promptness and was intensified by the tsle-
graphic advice OF prominent New York spec
ulator to the South to accept present prices
and hedge the prospective production with
sales for future delivery. This advice was EVIL
IDENTIFY followed in q liberal fashion as offer
ings multiplied and forced the market stead
ily downward. Those who are favorably in
clined toward the situation were in no mood
to render aggressive support IN the face of this
pressure. though some demand for investment
was attracted by the decline. Closing quota
tons iIaI9 points lower than yesterday.
Current events have exercised considerable
influence in shaping opinions against the mar
ket. In consequence Of fine crop accounts views
are freely expressed about material decline
being Inevitable. yet there is no open display
Of. absolute confidence In this direction. AT
seems as IL early heavy offerings are de-
pended on to precipitate the drop and tp&ders
Of bearish persuasion are signing for this &C.

Illinois Man May Fall Heir to
Henderson's Shoes.

Chicago. July A-Should there be a
change of Speaker of the next Congress
the man who Is most likely to be elected
Is Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois.
A great many members have urged Mr..
Cannon to announce himself as candi-
date for speaker of the next House. but
he has declined to enter the lists against
Speaker Henderson and try to take from
him the support of his old friends who
nominated him the last time by acclama-
ton.
Some of the strongest Republicans in
the House from New England, New York,
Pennsylvania and the West have assured
Mr.. Cannon that IL he will become a cam
didate he will have the support of ma
jority of the Republicans in the House.
Some of them go 50 far as to say that
It is necessary to elect new Speaker in
the Fifty-eighth Congress because of the
failure scored by Representative Payne
and Dalzell in their efforts to lead the
House in the'last session.
They believe that Mr. Cannon will be
forced to come to the front because he is
one man on whom the Republicans can
unite as against Mr.. Henderson.

NOT a SOUL ALIVE.
Every Person In St Pierre Persisted in the
Storm Of Fire.

London, May 13.-A dispatch to the
Times from st. Thomas, d. W. l., says
that st. Pierre was destroyed in the
twinkling of an eye, and that not 40 of
the inhabitants of the city escaped.
Some of the outlying parishes of the
Island of Martinique have been inun-
dated. The whole northern portion
OF the island is burning, and has been
denuded Of vegetation, and is rocky
wilderness, The latest news received
here from st. Vincent, continues the
correspondent, says the number of dead
there is supposed to reach 500, the ma
jority of whom have not been buried.
1t is reported that Fort de France,
Island of Martinique, is threatened, con-
cludes the correspondent, and there is
frightful tension everywhere.
Successful attempts have been made
to reach st. Pierre. Cabling from st.
Lucia, the correspondent Of the Daily
Mail says the town is heap of ruins
and dead bodies are lying all around.
Few ever will be recognized, SO great is
the mutilation and distortion.
Search parties have found 5000
charred bodies on the site oil the cathe-
dral. All appear to have been asphyx-
lated at first. Not soul was found
alive in the whole town.
