One of the most enjoyable social events
of the season was the Washington Prom
enade, given at the opera house last Fri
day night by Mr.. and Mrs. Wm. NJ.
Brown in honor of Mrs. Browns sister,
Miss Catherine Jones, who returns to
her home in New Hartford, Conn.,, this
week, after a most pleasant stay here of a
couple of months.
Considerable tronble and expense was
put forth to make the hall especially attrac-
tive, the stage, partitions and settings be-
ing first removed; then multi-colored
lights were held In festoons from the
center of the hall in addition to the regu-
lar incandescents, and rare plants and a
bountiful supply of bunting decorated the
corners, walls and ceilings of the spacious
room, very appropriate to the occasion,
while on the south wall was suspended a
fine engraving of Washington.
Dancing was the feature of the evening,
and all conventionality was laid aside and
every one proceeded to have a socially
pleasant time. The grand march was
led by Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. NJ. Brown, and
participated in by nearly every dancer
present. The programme consisted of
fifteen dances, the german being led by
Miss Jones, herself, just prior to the in
termission for refreshments.
About IL O'Clock a bountiful supply of
refreshments were passed to the guests by
several colored attendants, to which full
justice was done by everyone present. In
the last half of the programme the old
fashioned Virginia reel was introduced.
The programme was completed shortly
after the midnight hour. Everyone pres
ent voted the affair one of the most pleas
ant ever given here, and Mr.. and Mrs
Brown certainly lead in the front rank
as entertainers.

Every now and then yachts arrive at
some of the docks loaded with sightseers,

But things become unpleasant sometimes
by reckless shooting from boats toward

the pleasure that otherwise might be en-
Joyed. Lawns, gardens, yards ana cult
waited fields and groves lie near or along
the river banks, with narrow margin
between them and the river front. There
is law against this reckless shooting,

boats loaded with men looking for chance
shots at ducks, not knowing that any

 NEW ORLEANS. July 7.-During our holi- day. Liverpool advanced sharply, but in the interior good rains fell in Southwest Texas, where needed causing our market to only open 264 points higher near months and unchanged to 2 points lower on late. Subse- quently the prediction that scattered thunder showers would occur Southern Texas to- night and the later easiness in Liverpool oc- casioned a decline of 4G7 points from the top, making the net loss points on near months and 6 on late. the thirty leading interior towns last week received 5,7oo against 3i,- and holding stock l09. 900 against 237 600 total stock of American ashore and afioat to Liverpool is 7Io, GOO against sos 600 last year and 327. 900 year before last. The visible sup ply of American last week decreased 28. 900 against a loss of 96. coo last year and 37, 900 year before last. and the aggregate to date is .580, GOO. against ,6o6, 900 last year and i,l27.0o0 year before last. During the past 24 hours light showers have fallen in locali- ties the southern portion of the cotton belt, but generally fair weather continues. On the 4th and 5th inst, however, beneficial rains occurred in Southwestern Texas and in strumental in superinducing the easiness prev alent today. Manchester cables say that there a better inquiry for cloth last week. The Indian demand most active. There were a few transactions with China in staples The weekly weather report will be issued to- morrow. Some look for 1t to be slightly fa- vorable, while others believe 1t will be gen. orally unfavorable. The market though, will continue to be ruled by daily weather condi- tions.

 NEW ORLEANS. July 7.-During the hoii- day period this side of the Atlantic. Liv- erpool became quite exhilarated and manifested considerable activity in both departments of the cotton market, Spots recorded net ad- vance of i-i6d during Friday. Saturday and today with total sales If 37.0o0 bales in the three days. Deliveries arose to the extent of 764d but final prices today only marked advance of about 2-64d since Thursday 8 close. The course of the English market was influenced first by the bureau report and later by reports of rains in sections of Texas and the central belt, where the absence of uos ture has given rise to serious apprehensions of damage. The effect here observed in a lower range 6f prices, but the precipitation recorded officially by the Government in that portion of the belt referred to was not of sufficient magnitude to encourage sellers to operate with a free hand and after some liquidation of recent purchases a quiet condi- tion prevailed. Closing quotations are 3d8 points lower than Thursday last Develop ments of the past few days have demonstrated nothing positive so far as the crop situation Is concerned. Rains have fallen in some por- tions of the drought sections. but the precipi- tation seems to have been inadequate and unevenly distributed. The large spot sales in Liverpool, however. serve to intensity the be- lief that spinners have been pursuing a hand to-mouth policy in a very determined way. evidently with the view of discouraging Sum- mer manipulation. and the weekly review of trade in Manchester is by no means related to the recent report that business there was the worst in forty years,

 NEW YORK. July 7.--The market for cotton this morning nervous and irregular. the new crop months being pressed and the old crop months being freely supported Senti- ment was mixed and the bulish disposition arising from last weeks remarkably strong bureau report still prevailed, but to a more moderate extent. Reports of gloomy situa- tion were coming in through private sources and it appears that little relief to the Texas drought situation has occurred over the holi- days what rain fell during that time being, rule, light The feeling, on the whole, however, while mixed, is leaning to the bull side and 1t is felt that under conditions. however favorable. is the crop likely to prove more than a good sized one-that is to say. nothing remarkably large and possibly noth- ing more than fair-sized one, The Texas forecast was for thunderstorms in East Texas and South. The South did little here and there was some little buying a small scale by Liverpool The in sight figures to the close of last week were TO- 24. 900. There a loss of 5000 in Liverpool stocks for the week. but the total so far is l63, coo ahead of last year at the same date.
