City of Mexico, May 11.-News
brought here from Guatemala by peo-
pie who have seen the ruin wrought
by the recent eruption of Santa Maria
volcano confirm all the previous re-
ports. The situation could hardly be
worse.
"Au the coffee plantations in the
vicinity of the volcano" says Manuel
Hurtado, just arrived from Guatemala,
have been destroyed for all time.
Ashes from ten to fifteen feet deep
cover the country. In the neighber-
hood of the volcano ashes are so deep
that only some of the tops of tall
trees can be seen.
'Scoria and ashes cover 1000 square
miles of land to a depth of seven to
fifteen feet, and 5000 square miles to
a depth of from one to five feet. One
third of the entire coffee crop has been
destroyed. About 100000 quintals Of
the very choicest coffee have been
lost, and all land upon which it was
grown is doomed to eternal sterility.

transactions This Season Were
Reported.
New York, May 11.-There was a
wild market in cotton trading to-day
with prices covering a range of a dol
lar bale in this market from Satur-
days Closing quotations, and $3.50 to
81 a bale in New Orleans.
Prices scared at the commencement
of business, going up by leaps and
bounds on trading 20 to 25 points here
and 80 to 40 points at New Orleans. The
Liverpool markets were almost equal
ly excited. There spot cotton advanc-
ed 10 points, or equivalent to 81 per
bale in our fluctuations, to the basis
equivalent to 11.60c. in our market.
At all points all previous high records
for cotton options, and also spot cot
ton on this seasons crop were sur
passed. Spot cotton here is held at
about 11.15c. per pound, and 10%c. at
New Orleans. against 9Ac. last year.
Nothing Like 1t for a Long while.
There has not been anything like the
equivalent of these high prices since
the last week of January, 1901, when
option and spot cotton in this market
was forced up to Il cents per pound.
That was the highest record for cotton
since 1890, when it sold in January of
that year in this market at 12A cents
and about I'd per pound at Liverpool,
after a prolonged session of bull spec
ulauon.
The shorts in the May option here
were practically all driven in last week
except spot dealers, who intend to
make good their deliveries.
That option will soon expire. The
stock of cotton here of contract grade,
which was only 81, 900 bales a month
ago, has gradually been increased to
about $4,000 bales through the recent
steady advance in prices attracting cot
ton here. s.,i.,4
orders Were to Buy.
Almost every broker was loaded with
buying orders when the market open
ed, and there was q great roar when
trading began. May sold as high as
IL zoe In the afternoon. July, which
closed at 10 29c, started at 10.40c bid,
and was bid. up to 10. SOC before there
were any sales. Then the transactions
were on an enormous scale, ranging
from that price down to 10. 45c to 10 4sc,
ard then there was a break to 10. 4Ic
The August option, which closed at
9.97c. started at 10 zoe, and 10 21c, and
was as heavily traded in as July, while
the September option of next years
crop, which has only just been planted,
and which closed at 9.2Sc. opened IA
points higher at sac. and sold up TO
SAC, and then broke 10 points and
afterwards rallied to 9. 40c. These three
months. July. August and September,
We're those which were most heavily
dealt in.
At New Orleans the July option,
which Saturday advanced Is points and
closed at IL. 45c, started at IS points
higher at II Soc and then sold at IL zoe
and IL .75c, while August which closed
at 10.69c, started % points higher at
