DASHED TO DEATH
AS SCAFFOLD FELL
COLE AND REYNOLDS MEET
THEIR DOOM IN EIsEMAN
BROS. BUILDING.

As a result of a broken scaffold in the
building OF Eiseman Bros, that is being
erected on the Whitehall street viaduct
three men were dashed a distance of
5 feet Friday morning shortly after
o'clock
The men who fell were c. M.~Cole, who
lived on Windsor street, near Woodward
avenue; Henry Reynolds, of No. ~ Pratt
street. and g. w. White, of Senoia
The men were painters and were at
work on a portion Of the ceiling around
the skylight. They fell on a pile of
jagged timbers that had been thrown on
the lower floor directly underneath
where they had been at work
In few minutes after the accident
Cole was dead at the Grady hospital.
Reynolds died that afternoon at the hos
pital. White is not expected to live.
Lee Bailey, also a painter, who lives
at y Decatur street, was on the scaffold
and had a miraculous escape from death.
When the crash came Bailey was stand
ing near a column at the northwest cor
ner OF the skylight. With a strength
born Of desperation he leaped for his life
and caught, he knows not how, on the
column nearest him.
There he hung breathless with nothing
between him and the floor, nearly fifty
feet below. All this had happened with
the short space Of a gasp Of breath and
the scaffold plunged downward, carrying
its freight of humanity with IL. Cole
struck on his back. Reynolds and White
struck. il is believed. on their heads. as
the blood was flowing freely from their
heads and faces.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9,-rLiverpool made a full
response to our advance OF yesterday by adj
vancing to points today. The Chronicle
weekly weather summary was rather bullish,
inasmuch as It indirectly referred to the fact
that roads at the south was not in such a
state generally as to have interfered with the
movement. The various trade authorities dwelt
the satisfactory situation in the dry goods
trade. This has been one of the chief points
heretofore and the market cannot fail to profit
by such conditions The question now confront
ing US is the old one OF receipts. VIII they keep
as small as the past week or will they again
resume their old-time ratio as last year? Elk
port statisticians confess their inability to
forecast the probable extent Of the receipts
during the coming week, being entirely at sea
by recent developments which have caused so
much surprise to the bears and given bulls
renewed confidence. Reports Of exhaustion of
stocks keep coming in, while as matter of
fact, there is next to no real evidence going
to show that the weather has interfered with
the movement.
The market opened quite active and prices
rose to points, when there was set back
on profit taking and a 2-point reaction follow
ed. Receipts at the ports were running rather
Free that is relatively so, the estimate being
for about 20. 900, as against 16, 900 last year.

w. z. Small & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-There was another ex-
cited market for cotton this morning with
prices reaching the top on the crop. July
sold at SAT and May SH The liquidation
proved to be extensive and on the advance
cotton came out in large blocks. The largest
blocks yet seen on the advance. But buying
continued to absorb the cotton and prices fall
ed to decline much below yesterdays high
figures.
The liquidation has closed out great many
accounts and those who have taken the cotton
in a good position TO hold, with the prospect
of those who sold buying back on any decline
in prices Professionals look for a reaction on
increased receipts next week, and on a break
we would advise buying for profit.
The market IS broader and operations are
likely to prove successful. On any further ad-
vance we would advise profit taking, and If
the market breaks Monday morning any pur-
chases at the decline would likely to show
quick profit.
The decline will bring in new buyers and
cause quick upturns If not q higher market
ultimately.
