COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and easy and
in fair demand. Exporters are letting
the market alone at the moment how
ever, for the reason that the disturb
ance in the futures markets makes it
impossible for them to operate with
any security. The market is entirely
too cratic to warrant them in COM
hitting themselves in Offering cotton
abroad. In the fob. market the de-
mand was fairly good. with the cur
rent quotation for good middling,
10 11-16c.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

Thursday. Nov. 5.
The cotton futures market was the
osnter of interest to-day, with sales of
snO 600 bales, sand rise equaled by
eau, others in the entire history of the
Now York Cotton Exchange. At one
time prices in New York were rs to 80
noints above yesterday, though liqui-
dation set in and the gains were large
" lost, with the closing to IL points
-, New Orleans was also very active
AZ the advance. the gains there being
10 points, with the movement quite
os violent as it was at New York.
Consumers have about withdrawn
for the moment. as prices have reach
cd a point in their rise that makes 1t
unvise from their standpoint to con-
tinue buying before there is a sharp
reaction, such as might be expected
after a continuous rise. Until the
market settles upon more stable ba-
sis the disposition among exporters is
not to operate, for they may offer cot
TON one hour and find the market I'M
reasonably different before messages
can pass between them and their GUS
toners in Europe.
Turpentine closed firm at SEC, with
the demand fairly good. Exporters in
cline to the belief that spirits are to
decline later. and it is said that some
are withholding from the market, in
the hope of getting in later on lower
basis. Resins closed firm at the de-
cline, with the demand fairly good. De-
tails of the different markets ais fol-
lows:

whole satisfactory throughout the day,

said they are Withholding from the

been the principal feature of the day

prices they would have taken a few

willing to anticipate their needs, are
still buying with conservatism on gen.

A DOZEN KILLED.
Terrible Result Of Rioting mt Port
of Spain-GOvernm Building
and Records Destroyed.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, March 60
Twelve natives were killed and 60
wounded, many of them noncombat-
ants and women, during Mondays
rioting. The government building
was entirely destroyed by the rioters
and the police barracks was damaged
by fire and water. All the government
records in the colonial secretary's Of
fee, the courthouse, the crown lands
and other departments were de-
stroyed.
The rioting had it's origin in the OPP
position to the new water ordinance.
which reduced the water allowance
per head and increased the water rate.
The courthouse was surrounded while
the legislative council was in session
discussing the water ordinance. The
rioters then demolished the contents
of the lower floor of the government
building and set fire to it. All those
attending the meeting were assailed
with missiles, many persons being
struck by stones and bottles. The
fire drove the people from the build
ing and, aided by part of the local
military force, they defended their
lives with rifles.

EMPEROR ACTS FRIENDLY.
Asks President Roosevelt to send .
Fleet of Battleships to the Ger
man Regatta At Kiel. =

Washington, March 26.-The Post
says: Emperor William of Germany
has given further striking proof OF his
desire to maintain friendly relations
with the United States. In personal
cablegram to President Roosevelt he
has invited the battle fleet of the
United States in North American wa
tiers to visit Kiel, Germany, during re-
gatta week in May.
The navy department Wednesday
made public statement to the effect
that the North Atlantic squadron
would not visit Germany this summer
as has been suggested in some quar-
tiers. When the summer maneuvers
were projected the principal feature
framed by the general board was a
long distance cruise in fleet formation.
The board selected the stretch of wa
ter between the Chesapeake Capes and
the Azores for the run and it was sug-
gested that if the ships arrived at the
Azores in good condition and with suf-
6cient coal supplies, the voyage might
be continued as far as Lisbon. How
ever, it was finally decided to limit the
voyage to the Azores.
When the report got broad that the
great squadron was going to Europe,
Baron Sternberg, the German minis
ter, called at the white house and ex-
tended to the president a personal in
vitation from Emperor William to have
the fleet visit Germany. Now on &C.
count of the change of plan the presi-
dent has been obliged to decline the
emperor's cordial invitation in behalf
of the fleet, also conveying the infor-
nation for the benefit of other Euro
pean nations which might be interested
in the fleets movements that the North
Atlantic squadron will not touch at
any point on the mainland of Europe.
