The feature of the local markets at
,resent is the strong undertone of
,rrnentine, which is moving gradu-
orv but steadily upward on good buy
,re for both foreign and domestic ac-
counts. 1t is now positively known
that the present crop will be consid-
srabIy short of last year, and this is
.rre to exert a very beneficial effect,
IN view of the continued good con-
srn,ntive demand. Savannahs re-
CENTS are now 10000 barrels short of
last year, and other ports show pro-
portionate decrease. The receipts of
rosins are also short of last year, be-
inc something like 10000 barrels be-
hind Turpentine sold at 47%c after
to-day's closing.
Resins are also advancing, having
moved up considerably during the

spinners continue to be large buyers of
cotton in Liverpool at full rates, sus-
tanning that market again in face of
adverse reports from here. These good
reports from Liverpool opened our
market at six to seven points advance,
on which basis heavy selling by the
commission houses supposed to repre-
sent the large short interest supplied
the demand. No rain was reported
from Texas and dry weather was re-
ported for to-day and tomorrow. The
rainfall in Texas since February first
is less than last season and half what
it was two years ago. A certain guam
tity of July contracts have been bought
here for shipment to Europe and New
England. New Orleans broke on the
prospect of early shipments of new cot

ESTABLISHED 1872.

there were ready absorption and APP
parently a determination to support
the stock. The conspicuous position
of Missouri -Racific was enhanced to-
day and the volume of the dealings in
that stock were far in excess of those
in any other on the list. 1t was moved
upwards a point at a time, followed
by Texas and Pacific, but the ad-
vance met such heavy selling orders
that the movement for the advance
was abandoned and practically all the
gain was lost. The only development
to account for the strength of the
stock was the continued gossip that
the dividend will shortly be in
creased f'tS So
The reaction in the market was
largely due to a better appreciation
of the decrease in the coming wheat
crop estimate involved in the falling
off in the spring wheat acreage. The
transfer of Nebraska from the spring
wheat to the winter wheat list in
wolves the deduction of most of it's
acreage from the spring wheat esti-
mate. The revision in the coming
wheat crop estimate thus involved
caused persistent strength in the wheat
market.
The strength of the corn market was
said to be in sympathy with wheat,
but it had even a more significant
influence on the stock market, owing
to the vast Importance attached to
the fate of the coming corn crop in
its bearing upon the prosperity of the
whole country. Speculative sentiment
was less hopeful to-day regarding the
position of the coal mining contro-
versy. This feeling was emphasized
by rumors which found circulation
that a message to Congress by the
President on the subject was in con-
temptation. Yesterdays public state
ment by the operators of their posi-
ton was seen to involve in effect the
dissolution of the miners union and
the irreconcilable position thus pre-
sented was felt to threaten a length
ened contest The pressure upon
Sugar was connected with yesterdays
testimony before the Senate Commit
tee regarding the methods pursued in
the advocacy of the Cuban reciprocity
policy. The market closed dull, but
steady.

the air into those tiny canals that lead
from the throat to the inner side of
ones eardrums, and thus equalize the
pressure on them. And along with
the roaring of the air came many
strange new roarings and singings in
my head as the pressure went up and
UP and the air grew warmer and
heavier, like the atmosphere in hot
house and more difficult to breathe.
Finally the roaring ceased, the door
at the opposite end of our tube, which
but a moment ago could not have been
forced open by any 20 men, now
swung easily back, and we stepped
out into an atmosphere which, could
it have burst through the door upon
us, instead of coming to us gradually
through suitable small valves, would
have blown us bodily out of the tube
and into the next world, like SO many
crimson and yellow autumn leaves.

can withstand hunger but not dyspepsia.
