Yesterdays cotton market reached the
limit OF dullness and II really seemed that
a smaller trade would have caused life

to record and this fact III a large measure
accounted for the inertia. Tho period Is
naturally an inactive one and the enigma
Of the crop renders 1t more so. The fear
that something calnmitous might happen
kept the bear in perfect restraint. The re-
suits that arc likely to follow IN the wake
of q bumper yield was quite sufficient
to hold bulls N the background
The chief element In producing strength
was the apparent demand for real cotton
in the English market. The position Of
those In need of supplies can best be
Judged by the swiftness with which In
roads are being made upon the stock
whenever the fabr1cmaker can easily be
accommodated The boil weevi came In
for very considerable share Of attention.
Adyiees from the Geld. especially in those
districts subject TO the rnvages In Texas,
stated that the pest is becoming OF a more
serius nature There was not the slight
est desire to push things on these matters,
however, and ms a consequence the buying
was no more than a pcrfunctory taking up
of the slim offerings. The frmness OF the
undertone was distinct throughout and the

EUREKA WILL BE
AN OIL STEAMER
She Will Be Succeed in the Puget
Sound. Honolulu Run by
the Meteor.

The steamer Eureka is TO be replaced
in the Seattle Honolulu trade by the
Meteor. according to information re-
ceived yesterday by Agent Beebe OF
the Globe Navigation Co. The Eureka
is To be converted into an oil tank
steamer and may possibly carry fuel
oil TO Hawaiian plantations. though
nothing definite is known in this con-
nection.
The Eureka was to have sailed from
Seattle for this port on June 10th, but
the sudden change of plans on the part
OF the home company made this inn
possible. and instead she has been sent
to San Francisco. in that city the
steamer will be chartered TO one of
the oil companies after being convert
ed into an oil tank vessel. This could
not be done in Seattle. as none of the
firms in the city were prepared to bid
on such a contract for immediate de-
livery. so she was sent to San Fran
cisco. where tenders were called for.
The Eureka is to be replaced in the
local trade by the steamer Meteor, af-
ter the expiration OF her present con-
tract with the Northern Commercial
Co. which is using her on the Cape
Nome run. The Meteor is the largest
OF the three vessels OF the Globe Navi-
cation Co. and was the pioneer steam
er used on the Honolulu run. She will
carry general merchandise from Puget
Sound To this city and return to San
Francisco with sugar. 1t is not def
nitely stated what trade the Eureka
will enter. but her charter is reported
to be with California oil companies, and
she will probably carry oil to these
Islands

On being asked asked relative to the

the following statement:
There are now Il actual cases and
