Last Notice Day For July Contracts and the Trade Was Apprehen- sive of Developments in

NEW YORK, July 3o.-The cotton market opened easy at an advance of 20 points on suy ana 5 on August while the new crop was ! point higher to 5 points lower and during the entire session ruled irrevular showing considerable excitement at times ac- uVity. The old crop months at first showed sreat nrmness on covering. with July at uacting more demand than on any previous morning this week, while the later positions which at the start had shown a declining tendency as a result of realizing. also recov- cred and for time ruled firms with the near positions. on bulish news from New Orleans and renewal of clique support Then July. which had sold up to 1860. dropped down to i349 and was offered still lower without finding buyers and this with rather easier capies caused a partial decline in the new crop options. so that around midday they were at practically last nights close, Additi onal and heavy rains were reported from Texts, which again stimulated buying and with an other show of clique support the market was soon up to the best leevl of the day. with October io.o3. the general list. with the ca ceptfon of July, showing net gains of sal2 points July in the meantime had reached l3. l5 then suddenly turned strong. selling up to 1880. while just before the close the bal ance of the list weak under bear pres sure, with August selling at 2. 30 then to I2.2 70 on the last sale. July closed at 3 4o net advance of 4 points, while August was net " points lower. The new crop finally near the bottom and net point higher to 6 points lower. The general tone at the close was steady Sales estimated at 50 900 bales Today was the last notice day for July con- tracts and the trade this morning nerovus and apprehensive of development in that po- sition. rumor had been circulated late yes- terday to the effect that July shorts were out standing in excess of the cotton available for delivery and the early demand tended to con- firm this view. Notices were issued. estimated to the amount of 5000, and were promptly taken. presumably by the bull clique. fea- ture in the early advance was the strong spot situation in Liverpool, sales there of some g. GOO bales being reported at an advance of 6 points and while in some quarters the heavy rains reported were considered of benefit to the crop they exerted a bullish effect on the average.

 NEW ORLEANS. July 3o.-Liverpooi. while not answering all the requirements, reported liberal spot sales at advanced quotations Spinners seem fully alive to the situation and appear to be taking advantage of favorble moments to replenish their stocks.

Important to Mining.

An industry that promises to have
great influence on the manufacture of
mining and other machinery has re-
Gently begun operation in Los An
geles. The company is known as the
United States Seel Casting company,
with offices at DOT Laughlin building,
and its purpose is to manufacture
basic open hearth cast steel in all of
its many useful alloys, including
nickel, manganese, chrome, alumni
um, mushet and tungeten steel, and
to sell it at a reduced rate, made pos
sible by exemption from the heavy
freight rates on all shipments from
the east.
The use of cast steel in the manu-
tacture of any kind of machinery
dates from a comparatively recent
discovery in the combination of va
rious mineral salts with iron, result
ing in metals embodying the strength
of forced, rolled or hammered steel
and the pouring" quality of iron,
and is now being used extensively for
stamp mills, ore and rock crushers,
car wheels, ingot ana bullion molds,
irrigation plants, railroads, steam
shovels and dredges, electrical and
other machinery, armor plate, build
ings and countless other uses in which
strength and durability is factor.
General Manager Afford said ::
Mining men have for years been in
need of material that is stronger
and more durable, without being
much more expensive than iron.
Hammered and forged steel has been
tried, and in some instances answers
nicely, but in stamp shoes it is really
of less value than chilled iron because
it 'cups'-i. e., hollows out on the
face-so easily.
manganese steel shoes do not
cup, nor do they strip as iron shoes
do, consequently they are in demand.
LOS Angeles is a great mining CEN
ter, and will grow steadily for the
next ten years. Thousands of dollars
have been going to the eastern foun-
dries every month for these materials.
which can now be manufactured as
cheaply here as there. We have cheap
fuel and market. The only thing
we have to nay freight on is the raw
MATERIAL. and that will be nominal
compared to the cost of shipping the
finished product -
The company has purchased proper
ty at Sl8 S24 Wilson street, and already
has one steel furnace in operation,
from which three to six tons of man
ganese steel and siron is run daily,
although somewhat handicapped by
the molders' strike now in force. By
November 20 the nickel and chrome
steel furnaces will be in operation,
and by the New Year the capacity of
the plant will be about twenty tons
of steel and twelve tons of iron every
twenty four hours.

F. Wilson and z. E. EllinwOod, has
filed suit in the district court of this
county against Frank W. Hubbard,
John Ryan and Mr.. Simpson, all of
Bad Axe, Michigan, for the sum of
$500 and cost of suit which he claims
as due him for services rendered and
money spent in promoting the Pres
colt Sandstone Brick company and
securing the rights for the above
named parties for the exclusive use in
this territory of the acknowledgement
of making sand brick.
Mr.. Reese devoted nearly six
months of his time and several hun
dred dollars in money in securing the
right of using this system in this ter
ritory and in interesting these parties
in the enterprise and later in the pre-
liminary step of organizing the pres
ent company and in disposing of the
rights to them, and he claims the sum
of $500 is a very reasonable amount
for the time and expense he put into
it. The enterprise is very import
ant one to this place and there car
be no doubt but what Mr.. Reese work
ed hard to promote it and his friend:
would like to see him receive a just
and fair compensation for what ht

NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.

The New York World is responsible
for the statement that Z. G. Norris,
who has arrived in the metropolis
from tramp of three thousand miles.
has worn out sixty one pairs of shoes
and has good reason for congratulating
himself on his extraordinary use of
shoe leather.
When Mr.. Norris, twenty six
months ago, started on his long tramp
from San Francisco the doctors told
him he had consumption. At the end
of it be finds himself a we'll man, with
increased weight, good digestion, firm
muscles and clear brain. His worn
out shoes are so many milestones scat
tered along the road to health and
happiness, and his bill for shoe
leather and the loss of two years. time
are more than balanced by his posses
sion of blessing which is without
price to one who has lost it.
Mr.. Norris's long walk, it is to be
| hoped, will induce others to try the
shoe leather cure. But don't wait till
consumption or wasted health makes
other remedies useless Wear out oul
shoes while you are we'll and let Ma
ture, with all her blessed influence:
of sun and air and health, keep you
on the highway of happiness. One
pair of shoes worn out in prevention
is better than sixty one worn out il
cure.

Delegate Departs.

Col. j. F. Wilson left this morning
for Washington to attend the extra
session of congress which meets No
vember 9. He does not expect to re-
turn until after the close of the regu-
lar session, which will convene on the
first Monday in December. Mrs. Will
son, who is at present in Phenix, will
join him in Washington about the
middle of November.
Speaking of the two sessions Col.
Wilson said that nothing would be
done at the extra session except the
business for which it has been called,
but he expected lively times at the
regular session.
He expressed great hope in being
able to secure the passage of the
statehood bill, but could give no rea-
son for that hope, as he could not
point out where any change has occur
red in the situation in the senate, and
in fact his manner of expressing this
hope indicated that the hope was a
sort of forlorn one.
The calling of this extra session is
sort of wind fall to members from
the extreme west, as they will draw
mileage for it as we'll as for the regu-
lar session, and the double mileage
to the Pacific coast members amounts
to nearly as much as a years salary.
Delegate Wilson has appointed Sid
ney Osborn, of Phenix, son of Neri
Osborn, as his private secretary.

these ehterprising amusement man.
ayers have brought out for the delight
of the public a greater and far better
entertainment. Each succeeding year
saw magnificent improvements and
engagements. By the support of an
appreciative audience, the manage
ment has been able to establish their
show upon such a firm basis, and
build it up to its present size. The
season of 1903 of the Norris and
Rowe's shows will mark a new and
distinct departure in the trained an
imal line. In magnitude and gradeur
the Norris and Rowe show stand with
out a parallel. Among the leading
features are the great triple baby ele-
plant act in which Fargo, Duke and
Hero are actors. The South Ameri-
can Llamas that have been broken to
drive in harness, Ben Hur and Sadi
Ali two Siberian camels and grotesque
creatures of the desert which perform
with Bos lndicus and the Llamas.
The new school of seals and sea lions
are unquestionably the most wonder

Luxurious travelling.

Luxurious service between the cas-
and Clifornia has come to stay. Eacl
year the equipment on the leading
trans-continental lines is little bet
ter than the year before. The travel
ing public demand the best and are
willing to pay for it.
The Santa Fe announces that daily
service of its California limited train
for season of 1903 1904 will be resumed
November %. The California limited
runs between Chicago, on the east,
and Los Angeles, San Diego and Sal
Francisco, on the west-a straight
away flight of more than two thousand
miles. The time to Los Angeles is les:
than three days from Chicago.
The train itself comprises compart.
ment, observation and drawing room
Pullmans, dining car and buffet
smoker. Equipment as fine as money
can buy, and service absolutely high
est class. Perhaps the meals, under
management of Mr.. Harvey, are the
most notable feature of the California
limited. They have a national repu-
tation and are faultless.
The fact that this is the eighth sea
son of the limited ought to mean
something 30 travellers who seek the
best way to reach California.
