COTTON MARKET
 HAS 4 BUSY DAY
After a Burst of Selling Prices
 Became Quite Firm
275,OOO BALES ARE SOLD
The Former New England Bull Leader Was an Aggressive Seller From the Start, Particularly of Au-
 gust and September.

New York August 6.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at a decline of two points to an advance of four points and for a time showed some tirmness on the nearer of the new crop months as re- suit of covering and moderate support on the higher cables This buying carried September up to 10. 56, October.t to 9.sS and January 9.69 or net 4a11 points higher. From the start. however. the former New England bull leader was an aggres- sive seller, particularly of August and September and the former option, meet ing with little support, showed consider able weakness which soon spread to the balance of the list while selling also was encouraged all along the line by the generally favorable climatic conditions in the belt the somewhat better average of private crop accounts, unsettled con ditlons in Wall street and continued re- ports of diminished demand from spin ners. August was forced down to l-S0i September to 10. S1 and October to 9.7S, with the general list showing net loss of from three to thirty points. At the decline, however. offerings became less pressing and during the early afternoon the market. while more or less irregular, worked upward slowly until just before the close when 1t became more active and much firmer under more or less gen eral covering and bull support. Prices finally were at partly the best of the day and the market firm, net five points lower on August but from six to eleven points higher on other options. Sales estimated at 275,O0O bales.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

David p. Barber, who was awarded
the contract for the clearing of the
new electric line from Phoenix to
Greenwood to furnish electric power
to the Greenwood smelter, is making
the most of the excellent weather with
force of 35 men. Camp has been
established on the Skylark claim,
about half way between Phoenix and
Greenwood, and the work is being
done towards Phoenix first.
The tonnage from Boundary mines
has fallen off, due largely to needed
repairs to ore crushers and blast fur
naces.
Colonel John G. Egan, one Of the
veteran newspaper men of the north

on the surface, Poplar creek will be
the greatest free gold camp ever found

MINING NOTES.

Tales of treasure lost at sea do not

that just concluded through the work
of divers and a dredge in Staten ISL
and sound off Sewaren, N. ]. Silver
and lead bullion worth 100000 has
been recovered after lying at the bot
tom of the sound since September q.
The bullion came from the Mexican
mines by way of Galveston on a Nal
lory line steamer, and was on it's way
from the East River water front to
the plant of the American Smelling &
Refining company, near Perth Am

A special from Dawson says: Win

Falls Between Cars and Just Escapes
Horrible Death.

Reno, New, Oct. 19.-Colonel ]. D.
Powers of Louisville, KY, president of
the United States Trust company, was
seriously injured in Reno. The spe-
cial train in which he and a number
of other bankers were travelling on
their way to San Francisco to attend
the bankers convention, broke in two
just in front of the depot. Colonel
Powers was stepping from one coach
to the other and fell between the
cars. He retained his presence of
mind and, though portly and elderly
man, succeeded in rolling off the
track just as the wheels of the follow
ing coach grazed his shoulder. His
injuries consisted of a dislocation of
the right shoulder, two fractured ribs
and a severe cut on the left leg.

DoWIE DRAWS BIG CROWDS.
Hundreds of New Workers Attend
Meetinus.

New York, Oct 19.-Five thousand
persons were turned away from Madi-
son Square garden this afternoon after
all the seats in the building had been
filled with a great crowd curious to
see John Alexander Dowie on his first
appearance before a New York audi
ence. Fully $4,000 persons were in
the garden at 2:3O o'clock, when the
services began with the professional
hymn, which the Zion white robed
choir, to the number of about 600, and
the capped and gowned ordained Of
ficers of the Christian Catholic church
in Zion took part. The procession as
cended to the platform, where the
choir took position behind the pulpit
and the officers occupied the places
at the sides. When those on the plat
form had taken their places, Dowie
assembled the platform, accompanied
by overseers Daniel Bryant, ]. G. Ex-
cell, A. ]. Gladstone Dowie, J. e.
Spigner, c. e. Mason and w. Ham
mond Piper, who took their places be-
hind the pulpit in the order in which
they had assembled the rostrum. Dr.
Dowie wore the usual white robe, with
a black robe above it. The service of
prayer opened with the invocation by
DR.. Dowie. followed by the singing of
a hymn, during which the crowd con-
tinued to pour into the garden.
This was followed by the recital of
the creed and the commandments and
the reading of scripture, during which
hundreds of persons started to leave
the hall, causing much confusion. The
exodus continued, in spite Of repeated
orders to close the doors, until nearly
third of the audience had departed,
many of the vacant seats being filled
with the waiting crowd outside. After
order had been somewhat restored, DR..
Dowie said:

third chapter of the Book Of Revela-

Behold, l stand at the door and
knock. If any man hear my voice
and open the door, I will come into
him and will sup with him and he

Then, walking back and forth in
front of his pulpit, he delivered his
sermon.
