 NEW ORLEANS June l6--After opening 2-64c lower, which was far less than ex- pecfed after our yesterdays decline of IS to % points, Liverpool regained nearly all the loss and proved surprisingly steady. Shorts on this side hurried to cover at the opening ana first prices here were six to eight points better than last night. However, soon as the covering by shorts was over, the market relapsed and reports of showers over night in north Texas and good rains over the north cen frai portion of the belt hastened decline, which was most pronounced in July. That month lost not only the morning gain, but ten points below the top of the April rise. Tn? new crop months did little more than fall back to last nights prices. About noon tee- grams reported sprtnkling at Dsilas apd a nice rain falling at Greenville, Tex. There Is a growing belief that the widely scattered showers are the precursors to a general soak ing rain like that recently enjoyed by the fortunate Atlantic section. The trads Is Of but one mind as to the result of such hap ny outcome and the short interest has been largely fnlreased in anticipation of it.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES LIVERPOOL CABLEE AT OPENING
 WERE BULLIsH. Lack of Kain in the Western Belt & Was Also a Factor--At the
 Close the Market Was Barely Steady.

NEW YORK, June I8.-The cotton market 4pened firm, with prices 3 to points higher n higher Liverpool cables and no signs of 44fn in the western belt on the initial weather @1art The shorts yesterday covered up eag- /Eiy fearing pronounced reaction from the &oceot severe break. Wall Street appeared to 4o covering up short accounts in the summer 'thdnfhs. but were noticed to be selling the Ato positions. Following the call July was 1t1d up to 6. 58 cents and August to 8. % cents with sentiment for the moment quite bullish. 11fc5pQpk and the South sent moderate buying 0fder1 here, and sellers were scarce at best. 'Iheh- came reports of soaking rains over tho greater portion of the central belt and over the northern section of the western belt. while the c4it1al forecast indicated showers gen. erAlly except in portions of Texas and in some sections of the South Atlantic States. Liquidation at once set In and bear pke3sure came to the front. A sharp break in the New Orleans market. with private tele. gfans reporting rain in the central belt. helped 5o weaken the market Prices rapidly declined untfl last nights figures were reached, when pru3t-taking for time checked the movement 6oWnward But in the early afternoon heavy Se1Iing for both accounts once more weakened the market and throughout the last hour
 prices made but feeble rallies from the bottom
 Reports that spot cotton was offered at lower prices in the cotton country and fears of Q severe break in Liverpool tomorrow prompted
 general selling. The market closed barely steady, with March points higher and other 1nonths unchanged to points lower. The summer months suffered most in the liquida- fi0n Total sales were estimated at 25o. 900 bales, Late in the day New Orleans was saller of July in the New York market.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Qnc,) Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. June ls.-There was a rally Of to 6 points in the early prices for cot ton. No little interest was shown in the mar ket, prices appear to have been depressed mainly because of the suspicion that Texas has been considerably improving, but a matter of fact there evidence of any decided improvement there outside of the state ment in yesterdays Government report that cotton was holding its own. The point dwelt upon bv operators is that Texae cannot pos sfbly make a remarkably heavy crop this sea son because of the dry winter months there At all events even conceding the most bril- liant outlook at this time 1t Is recalled that the period of deterioration as a rule usually sets in after the month of June, hence 1t is entirely premature to jump to the conclusion that the crop will be large one. Further more it Is agreed that the trade can now well stand a crop of twelve million bales in view of the worlds requirements. which are year after year increasing. There was little in the market this morning beyond covering of local shorts. Several points in Texas reported rain, the most important being Luling. Liver pooi bought here to a moderate extent. Rain fell at various points in Mississippi. Cablet opened weak and closed steady. Receipts at ports, 1000 against o,3oo last year.

The year 1902 has been a very busy one
in the Richmond Fire Department, both
in responding to alarms and fighting fires
and in the work Of adding many improve

Inc number of alarms responded to dur

less than in 1901. and though in many
cases very serious fires were averted by
the prompt response OF the department.
yet with all vigilance and hard work the
city suffered from several serious 1res.
The principal fires for the year were
as follows: January lth. Cameron &
