VN
 NEW YORK, June 5.-The feature of the
 week was the government report on Thurs
 day. This was in the nature of a .surprise to
 the trade as the condition said to exist In the
 South on the 18th of May the worst in the
 annals of the department. The condition in
 some parts of the more important cotton pro-
 ducins sections seemed to be nothing short of
 disastrous from the standpoint of the depart
 ment The acreage was estimated at but 3.5 per cent increase over last year and while area Is larger than during the previous season tho increase hardly comes up to expectation. Since the report weather conditions have been
 more favorable the crop has made undoubted improvement. and altogether the report fell very fiat On Friday the market was easier. There is now Q very decided impression in the majority of the more conservative cotton cir cles that conditions can hardly be any worse and the only possible change Is for the better. We may be mistaken In analysis of the | market but from the action of the larger trad CTS, we think there is growing impression vance. There is all this cotton here in New York. hanging over July and August and with | new crop months selling at 91, 9k and 10 cents the price is high enough until a crop disaster is proved. Both last year and the year before sptnners of the world bought their cot | ton or at least the major portion of 1t belaw | BE cents. With price 9h cents at present time whole question of consumption Is open one. For this reason we are willing to advise caution on the buying side for a while and would rather wait for a good break before caking cotton investments

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
OPENING ADVANCE ON SUPPORT
 FROM SOUTH.
There Were No Cables to Influence the Market-Livcrpool Being Choked-5 to II Points Off at
 End of Trading.

NEW YORK. June 5-The cotton market opened barely steady at an advance of : points 70 a decline of points. The advance was on Southefn support and covering. while the de- chEes were influenced by the better weather ana more favorable crop advices, notably a re- port Issued by a trade paper which made an in- crease Of 6.21 per cent in acreage. while speak ing ime rather favorably of the crops condition. There were no cables to influence the market In either direction. Liverpool being closed ow- ing to the Whitsuntide holidays and inme- aiately following the call certain Philadelphia interests who were credited with selling heav- fly yesterday were again said to be offering fre0y. This brought about considerable liauid- stion and the lists declined about 5 to points rom the opening figures. Then came another slight rally on the light estimated receipts for leading points tomorrow and a rather less bearish into sight movement for the week than anticipated, the figures showing 4s s3s bales as compared with 42,8l9 bsIes last year. The upward movement was limited. however and shortly after the noon hour prices again wavered, ruled Irregular for 6 time, then reached new low level for the day under further selling by both longs and shorts. The market was finally quiet and steady at about the low point of the day, except for October which rallied points under covering. The list as whole was net to Ii points lower. To- tai sales futures estimated at 150.00o bales Port receipts for the day were 2,e73 bales against B. 43l bales last year.

NEW YORK. June 6.-rhere was no market in Liverpool today and there will he none to- morrow so the local spectators have mod erated sympathy. The Chronicle issued its an, nual estimate of acreage today and showed an increase of 21 per cent which compared with an increase of only 3.7 ner cent reported by the bureau yesterday This caused rush to sell at the opening led by the large spot houses who are supposed to be short to mills While it's percentage of increase was greater than ,rhas Chronicle's actual report in acres. merely brought the area planted up to that already reported by the government In other words the government reports the total acre age at 2s 907, 900 and The Chronicle at 2S ss5 OO0 acres. When this fact became gen orally appreciated the sales were rapidly ab- sorbed and efforts ct further depression ceased though the buying demand did not assume sufficient volume to cause full reactions from early declines. Taken altogether The Chronicle report was evidently intended to be bearish but 1t docs not carry much weight fin view of its wide divergence from other conserva- tive authorities emitting the government, The Journal of Commerce as q result of an ex- hanstiye investigation a week ago declared the acreage had increased less than 1 per cent.

D0WIE's new TEMPLE.
Imposing Features of Proposed
Tabernacle For Zionists.
IT WILL SEAT SIXTEEN THOUSAND
elephOne IoI.

Two Hundred Persons Can BE Bap-
tized at Once In the Basin, which
Will Be Filled With Flowing Wa
ter Coming From Waterfall.
Building to Cost $5OO,OOO.
John Alexander Dowie, head of the
Christian Catholic Church in Zion, near
Chicago, has planned for his capital on
the shore Of Lake Michigan what he
says will be the largest tabernacle in
the nation devoted exclusively to the
worship of God. The structure will
cost half a million dollars and seat
10000 persons. 1t will occupy a ground
space of $50 by $40 feet and will be
oriental in architecture.
Leaves of Healing, the official organ
through which Mr.. Dowie talks to his
followers and to the world, gives the
following description Of the tabernacle
in part:
"The great feature of the interior
will of course, be the auditorium.
The construction will be in the shape
of horseshoe and must solve many
difficult problems in the arrangement
Of SO many thousand seats, in ventila-
ton and, most difficult of all, in acous-
tics. The choir gallery will be made
to seat 1900 persons. The speakers
platform is to be elliptical in shape,
fifty feet long and eighteen feet wide.
'The seats in the choir and officers
galleries will be arranged at an angle 1
sufficient to show the face Of every one
distinctly to the audience. Back of
the choir and in line with the center
of the building a great pipe organ will
be built. The organ will be so placed
that the organist will face the au-
ditorium.
Two large galleries, in the shape Of
a horseshoe, will be built in such a
manner that the public finding seats
there will be able to see plainly the
face of every one sitting on the plat
form. These galleries will seat about
8,400, the ground floor about 5000, the
choir and officers galleries about 1000,
giving a total seating capacity of 16,-
600 persons.
Elevators will be provided at the
main entrance to lift the people to
these galleries. On the east side of the
galleries viii be four stairways, three

SERUM SAVES BOYS LIFE.
Enormous Quantity Used on Victim Of
TetanUs.

st. Louis, July 31.-Charles A.
Bothum, seven years old, who fell a
victim of tetanus following an accident
of shooting himself in the hand on the
Fourth of July, is recovering at the
city hospital, but at cost of almost
$500 in the purchase of serum to use
in the case.
Young Bothum was received in the
hospital on July 16 and doses of anti
tetanic serum were Immediately given
him in injection every two hours. Each
of these doses was tablespoonful and
up to Wednesday, when the number
had been reduced to two day, he had
received sixty-six injections.
From Chicago 1872 bottles of the stuff
were sent and one day week he got
none, for the supply at the hospital
had run out.
He is still being treated with serum,
though he has passed over the acute
and critical stage of lockjaw.

STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR.
Advance of the First Hour Followed
by Decline.

by Decline
New York, July 31-Irregularity
marked the course of the stock market
during the first hour. Some of the
standard STOCKS and few specialties
advanced fractionally at the outset,
but pressure against Atchison and one
or two others of the active stocks
caused a general sagging throughout
the list. New York Central, Baltimore
and Ohio, st. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville, Atchison, Amalgamated
Copper, Virginia Carolina Chemical
and a few others touched level below
the previous nights closing by the
end of the first hour. There was IL
point decline to 79 on one sale of Ev.
ansville and Terre Haute preferred.
The short interest, while not specially
aggressive, seemed disposed 10 de-
press stocks whenever the opportunity
offered.
Further declines were recorded to-
wards noon, such specialties as United
States Realty, common and preferred,
Virginia Carolina Chemical and United
States Steel preferred declining from
to AZ points. The pressure against
Atchison continued and Rock Island
common also sold off. Trading was
rather narrow and professional. The
demand for stocks, even of the high
class, was merely nominal.

Of the early afternoon was the violent
break in a number of high class spe-
cialties. Westinghouse common de-

north side; one stairway at each one
of the four corners Of the building
and two more in the rear Of the choir
gallery. These sixteen stairways con-
meet directly with the outside and as
exits will be Of inevitable use in empty
ing the vast auditorium quickly and in
an orderly manner should the occasion
ever require.
"The dome Of the auditorium is to be
constructed of steel and covered partly
with glass and partly with sheet metal
and at the highest point will be 160
feet from the ground floor. On the in
terror the dome will measure 1872 feet
in diameter varying in height from 100
feet on the sides to 135 feet from the
floor to the center.
Electricity will be used in lighting
the tabernacle. Thousands of incan-
descent lamps will be required.
"One of the most unusual and at
tractive features of the new Shiloh
tabernacle will be the baptistry. On
either side Of the basement, directly
under the choir gallery, robing rooms
for the candidates for baptism will be
arranged, on one side the women, on
the other the men. Both rooms will be
70 by So feet in size.
"On leaving the robing room the can
didates go directly to the riverlike bap-
tistry by way of separate corridors, one
for men and one for women, entirely
hidden from public view until the large
stairways leading into the baptistry
proper are reached. Two hundred per-
sons may be baptized at one time, and
SO complete will be the arrangements
that 1000 can easily be baptized in one
hour.
Candidates will enter the baptistry
from one corridor and pass through an
other on the other side to reach their
robing rooms after the ceremony.
''The baptistry basin will be twenty
feet wide and sixty-five feet long. 1t
is to be arranged with flowers and
shrubbery, while the water will come
from waterfall under the speakers
platform. The water will fall in full
view of the public, flow through the
entire length of the baptistry and pass
out of sight under the floor of the au-
ditorium.
The building throughout will be
harmonious and symmetrical combina-
tion Of great convenience and beauty

DISTURBANCE.

Havana, July 31.-In spite of the as,

of the interior, that the killing of three
men and the capture of a fourth man,
their leader, who had attempted to
cause an uprising in the vicinity OF
Bayamo, province of Santiago, eff
fectually ended the only semblance Of
an uprising in Cuba, the rumors of up
risings in Eastern Cuba were fully
confirmed during the day in the gov
ernment's reports received from the
governor and other officials of Santiago
province. They are to the effect that
since Sunday last sixty armed and
mounted men have appeared outside
villages in the Cauto river district,
proclaiming revolution and demand
ing the payment of the former mem
bers OF the revolutionary army. No
acts of violence have been reported,
but the Inhabitants of Cauto region

Will Enlist Volunteers.
General Rodriguez, commander-in-
chief of the rural guard, has ordered
the mobilization of all the rural guards
in Eastern Cuba and the governor of
Santiago province has been instructed
to enlist as many volunteers as may
be deemed necessary to cooperate
with the mounted troops.
Secretary of the Interior zero says
there is no doubt that the authorities
will be able to cope with the situation,
as all the reports received agreed that
popular sentiment is with the govern
ment and that those who have risen in
rebellion mostly belong to the wanton,
lazy class of Puerto Principe. 1t is
reported that many volunteers are Of
fering their services to the govern
ment.
The military and civil officials have
not yet reported the numbers, loca- !,
ton and doings of the reDels with any
degree of exactness.
Farmers who have arrived at Vic
toria de las Tunas, the center of the
disturbed district, report that they |
have not seen any armed men.
