The Coffee Market.

New York. August 6.-Coffee. spot Rio, barely steady; No. invoice 5a4; mild steady; Cordova S@11hc.
 Coffee futures opened steady, unchang- td to points lower. Immediately after the call prices stiffened up sharply on cov- ering by room and Wall street shorts, more general speculative buying end de- mand from leaders of the bull forces. Cables were a factor in the early depres- sion, reporting generally bearish condi- tions abrc ad with heavy primary receipts. By midday the market had firm under tcne and prices had reached a level on several options 15 points above yester- days close, this basis holding till near the close, when very heavy realizing, ag- gressive hammering from importers and general unloading broke the market and the whole list dropped rapidly. At the close November was net unchanged and other months from to 15 points lower, with the tone weak Various reasons were given for the sudden break, the chief being that of manipulation. Total sales were 66.5Oo bags, including August 5. 55a 5.6O; September 5.5Od5. .65; October .SOn 5.35; November 5.3O@5 45; December $. .s5m b.4O; January 5.45; February 5.35; March 5 .45q5.5O; May 550Q5.6O; July 5.7Oa5. .75.

Cotton Letter.

c. W. Lee & Co.'s Letter to cothran
 & Go.
 New York, August 6.--Up to 2 o'clock the market was dead no business; no desire on the part of anyone to do busi- ness The sole buying started the mar ket with prices higher than yesterday August advanced more than any. other month At no time was the market weak In fact quiet buying of cotton continued. Liverpool does not move any more than this market
 We continue to feel the same on the cotton market The situation is too un- certain to warrant shorting cotton at this level What Is to be gained? The world will need a crop of 100000 bales to get through. We don't see just where the banner crop idea comes from; Il, 25O.- 900 could be taken care of above TAG. The margin is too small to warrant ham mering. After the crop Is Assured the outlook will be very different. Complaints will now come in pretty thick as they always do in August. This may start enough buying to prevent any decline, and at best the move down will be slow in the extreme. Cotton will do to buy on breaks for sometime yet. Unless August Is unusually favorable, we will be more

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, August 6.-The market for spot cotton was almost lifele.eS today, being bare of desirable grades. A fair supply of the poorer qualities is held here, and seasonably ample lines of high grades and extras, but there is but a scant supply of middlings, except in strong hands and under cover, and. as the latter qualities are those needed, there Is small margin for buyers to work upon, even if they were inclined to meet the views of holders. Sales. 200 bales, including 50 bales f. o. b. terms. Quota tions reduced Ac on all grades.
 The future market was very quiet. All the steam generated by the monthly and weekly bureau reports appears to have been dissipated and the trade settled down to a short season of inactivity. This position, insofar as the long ele- ment is concerned, is in a measure ex- plainable, but why the bears remain so quiet is not as readily understood Every present condition certainly tends to strengthen argument on that side of the market. Prices opened even to 1 point down compared with yesterdays clos ing. Later in the day there was a slight improvement, the board at the close showing net gains of to points on the day

BULLS BOUGHT HEAVILY

New York, August 6.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices unchanged to 1 point higher and for the rest of the morning and during the early afternoon was dull and devoid of interesting fea- lures. The English market news was matter of fact and there was little in the reports of the crop country to influence prevailing options.
 Receipts were rather disappointing and the spot situation presented no new fea- lures. Nevertheless. Wall street and other bulls were again conspicuous as buyers of the october, December and January options. The commission houses as a rule sold the distant months during the early part of the session; Europe and the south bought in a small way. Yet speculation did not broaden. In fact, the public held aloof for further develop ments in the crop country.
 Toward the close shorts became nerv- ous and 8 little support was needed to send prices up quite sharply. January reaching 7.69. while August worked up to s.21. The close was very steady with prices net 2 to points higher. Total sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

pits were greatly discouraged today over the glowing reports from the har- vest fields. Everywhere came in advices of crops the finest ever. Corn promised bumper yield and with splendid weather for harvesting, spring wheat prices slumped off. Some good export sales of wheat late in the day steadied wheat, and shorts were afraid to sell more oats. This helped late prices. At the close September wheat was a shade down. September corn 1Ac lower, and September oats unchanged. Provisions closed unchanged to 121sc higher.

Miners Have Close Call.

Ironweod, Mich, Feb. 2S.-Three
miners narrowly escaped being blown
to pieces in the Iron Belt mine last
night. After eating their dinner,
they went into a warm drift to smoke.
TWO boxes of powder had been placed
on the steam pipes and formed conven.
lent seats for two of the miners and
the other laid down beside them
Later the skiptender passed by and
noticed that the filling of one of the
boxes was on fire and that the men
We're asleep. He hastily aroused the
sleepers. They had just reached the
shaft when the powder exploded. The
men We're knocked down and BON
barded by flying rocks. One sus
tanned a fractured shoulder and an
other will lose an eye.
