Now York. March S.-There was a fair
demand today for various descriptions
or cotton goods and the tone of the mar
let was good throughout with an up

COTTON.
New York, March S.-The cotton
market opened easy with prices 4 to Z
rofnts lower under heavy realizing,
which was. in fact, merely a continual
lion of the liquidation started in mid
afternoon yesterday. Public and private
cables were very bearish and estimated
the selling movement and even created
Il feeling of confidence among heretofore
discouraged bears. Futures in Liver
rool were down 8 to 4 points, and spot
cotton declined 1-32d on sales of 5000
bales. The first dash to sell carried
May off to $50 and July to $50. But
after the call covering by yesterdays
sellers and substantial buying for the
account of investors who sold on the
late bulge sent May up to S.S4 and July
to sos, with the market once more very
steady in tone. Port receipts were large
again, carly estimated at a, 1000 bales
against $500 same day last year. Ru-
NOR had it that some 1,500, 900 to 1000, 900
%spindles had been shut down, and that
conditions for the moment were less
promising. All the forenoon speculation
was active and general, though the or
ders Of many commission houses, calling
for the purchase of cotton, sold higher,
We're sold down we'll into the 70's for

The Harlem train had waited two minutes for the N, r., N. H. & H. train to proceed and the first train must have been stopped by some signal. The work of rescue was tbe tirst to do and investigation will follow. There are said to be 15 dead and 30 injured. all the dead 80 far identified are from New Rochelle and New York.
