New Orleans, June 14.-Lverpool advices
were not encouraging, consequently our
market opened 1 to lower, but immediate
~ after improved 3 on fresh buying, when
1t was acretained that clear weather pre-
vailed generally throughout the belt and
with the exception Of probable showers In
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas Panhandle.
the prediction was for fair weather tonight
and Sunday. Later, however, the Washing
ton observer wired that there was q dis
turbance over the northeastern gulf. moving
northward, and storm warnings were or
dered at Cedar Keys, Tampa, Puntagorda.
Jacksonville. Savannah and Charleston.
Realizing on this information occasioncd
break Of 5 to 8. Subsequently values be
came slightly steadier, making the net loss
3 to points on the day. Weather condi-
lions govern the market entirely. II the
expected rains in the Atlsntics materialize
over Sunday the chances are values VIII
decline further. on the other hand. the alb
sence Of rains throughout the belt during
this time will occasion reaction.

Houston, Texas. June 1.-THE old croN
months July and August, under present
conditions, are susceptible Of violent nuc.
tuations and manipulations either way and
caution should be used In either purchase
or sale OF July or August.
The new crop starts out with almost per-
feet conditions, aud as any change is likely
to he for the worse. we are in favor Of
buying the winter months on any depres-
sions as large crop will be required but
is far from being assured even with present
splendid prospects. j. N Wisner

GLORIOUS FOURTH ASSURED.
Explosive Enough on Sale to Make Eartha
Quake

Dealers in pyrotechnics and explo-
sives in this city are already making
extensive preparations in order that
the irrepressible young American may
celebrate the 4th of July IN style
more glorious and awful than ever be-
fore. If all the fire crackers, big and
little, the whlzzers, nigger-chasers,
pin-wheels, sky-rockets and thou
sand and one other newly invented
machines calculated to make a noise
and destroy the peace and tranquility
of the average citizen are used on that
occasion of all occasions in the eyes of
the registering youngster the day vile
be one long agony and the night re-
production. of Dante's Inferno tCa
those gifted with weak nerves and a.
chronic antipathy for racket and
noise. Despite all laws and rules an@
regulations to the contrary the can
non crackers are more monstrous this
year than ever before and the physi-
clans are already figuring on the
probable receipts accruing from the
accidents of the day. If the average
boy gets through whole 4th of July
celebration without showing burn
or bruise of some sort he doesn't
feel as though he had made an I'M
qualified success of the affair.
