graphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Monday, Feb II.
The cotton market steamed up during
the early hours, giving promise of a
substantial rise before the closing, but
the fuel gave out apparently and to-
wards the closing the steam gauge in
dicated about the same as when the
market opened. There was no pop
ping off of the safety valve at any time,
though this may have been due to the
reported relief given by a prominent
operator who poured some long cot
ton in the fire box, thereby causing the
flames to simmer and the steam TO
drop. Rumor has it that no sort of
conAagration can get under Roadway
while this well known operator is the
fireman. for he has a fuel house full
of long, green cotton, and in quanti-
ties to extinguish bullish ardor of the
most violent type. Not only the leader
of the bull campaign, but other Wall
SlfeEleTS are IOilB OF tue Hldihets anu
stand ready to accommodate the pub
lie as soon as they are convinced that
cotton is to advance.
The feature of to-day's market was
the firmness of spots. According to
reports there were no sales below the
official prices. which is rather unusual
under any conditions. 1t is common
for spot prices to be shaded some, In
fact. they may be marked a little up
with this in view. The quotations are
the asking prices-the selling are an
other. But to-day quotations We're the
basis for business. In the country

We're backward about letting go at
any material concessions on their asked

strong feature was the fact that no
business was being done, according to
the general understanding, below Off
cial quotations. This was unusual, as
it is generally assumed that official
prices are shaded In the T. o. b. mar

brokers was that their prices were too
high. The port people could not meet

His way lay past tho Cafe do Paris, and. for four consecutive mornings he had met BalzaC strolling lcisurely up and down dressed in poulaloh a plods (t'ousers not termi- natfng below the ankle, but with feet iu' thcnl libc stocElngs) and frock coat with velvet faclngs.

LEAVE FOR SEA
Eight Naval Recruits Start For
Life on BattIeship.
SELECTED OUT OF SEVENTY
MANY REJECTED BECAUSE OF
SMOKERS HEARTS.

u EFORE the naval recruiting sta
ID ton closed yesterday afternoon
eight boys and young men had
taken the oath that makes them Jack
Tars in Uncle Sans navy. The re-
cruiting officers wound up all their
affairs before night and left on the
1850 o'clock Oregon Short Line train
for San Francisco, taking the recruits
with them.
The names Of the young men who
will in d few days go aboard the vari-
Gus training ships TO be trained for
service in the navy are: John J. Lippe.
H. W. Pratt, Alvin c. Cheshire. J. A.
Ritchie, ". c. Richardson, J. T. Shin
min and A. n. Miller. The latter was
member Of battery c. in the late war
with Spain.
During the stay Of the naval officers
here no less than seventy boys and
young men applied for admission to the
service, but the majority of them were
rejected on account of their hearts,
which were found to be affected from
tobacco smoking. OF the seventy who
applied. there were but twelve who
successfully passed the examination.
OF these, I'VE were unable to obtain the
consent Of their parents, and were
barred from entering the service on this
account.
After all applications had been prop
erly filed out, the four boys who were
accepted yesterday were lined up in
Lieutenant Littleheld's Office and the
cath was administered. An old and
Ivell-wOrn Bible. bearing on its outer
lowering a white cross, was brought
forth, and the young men formed
circle about it, each clasping the book
in his right hand. AS they stood thus,
they repeated the oath after the lieu
tenant When this had been done the
holy book vas kissed by each young
man in succession and they were de-
clared regularly sworn into the naval
service. At 1850 last night the young
men met Surgeon Crandall at the Short
Line depot and left for San Francisco,
where they VIII Immediately 90

that will fit them for active service on
board one Of the nations battleships.
The naval officers expressed them
selves as highly pleased with their sue
cess in Salt Lake and their only re-
gret was that they could not take
away with them more such boys as
they secured here. The station viii

CIGARETTE CAUSES FIRE.
Freed Furniture Company Loses Be
tween S7oO and $1,000.

A lighted cigarette thrown carelessly
away is thought 70 have been the
cause Of a fire at Freed's furniture
store on Third South street yesterday
noon. The blaze originated in a ware
house Of the building, and had gained
good Roadway before being discovered.
An alarm was at once sent in. but the
building was enyeloped in flames be-
fore the arrival Of the department
Large quantities Of furniture had been
stored in the place and nearly al is a
total loss. Chairs, desks. tables and
other pieces of furniture were de-
stroyed altogether. or were charred to
such an extent as TO be practically
worthless.
The exact origin Of the fire has not
been discovered. but efforts were made
yesterday afternoon TO learn the cause.
From all that could be learned it is be-
Heved by the Freed people that some
one who had access 10 the building was
smoking on the inside and carelessly
dropped a lighted cigarette. The spark
evidently dropped into a pile Of shaw
ings. which ignited Immediately. The
loss is thought TO have been between
500 and $1,000.
