WILL ABOLISH CALL FORCE.
Board Decided This Branch of Service
 Was Not Reliable.

Board Decided This Branch of Service
 Was Not Reliable.
 The board of safety at it's meeting last evening decided to gradually abol- ish the call fire force. This branch of the service, the board concluded, is not wholly reliable. Men are absent when they are most wanted, and means to make them attend to their duty are limited to imposing a fine of $2. Re peated fning has not had the desired effect.
 In response to the vote taken at the meeting held Tuesday evening all the applicants for positions on the regular nre force were on hand last evening to undergo examination for appoint ment. All of them passed, but only three were appointed, Edward s. Cul- len, William street; Thomas Cavan- augh, member of the Rose Hill com pany, and Thomas c. Wilton, a callman at the Leavenworth street engine house.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, June 5.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at an ad-
vance OF points to a decline of 2
points. The advance was on South
ern support and covering, while the
declines were Influenced by the better
weather and more favorable crop adj
vices, notably a report issued by a
trade paper, which made an increase
of 6.21 per cent. in acreage, while
speaking rather favorably of the crops
condition There were no cables to
influence the market in either direc-
ton, Liverpool being closed owing to
the Whitsuntide holidays, and imme-
diately following the call certain Phil
adelphia interests, who were credited
with selling heavily yesterday
were again said to be offer
ing freely. This brought about
considerable liquidation and the
list declined about to 9 points from
the opening figures.
Then came another slight rally on
the light estimated receipts for lead
ing points tomorrow and a rather
less bearish into-sight movement for
the week than anticipated, the figures
showing 1886 bales, as compared with
42,819 bales last year. The upward
movement was limited however, and
shortly aftSr the noon hour prices
again wavered. ruled irregular for a
time, then reached a 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 I'M
der covering.
The list, as a whole, was net to II
points lower. Total sales futures es-
timated at 10000 bales. Port receipts
for the day were 2,673 bales, against g.
431 bales last year.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
cOSDITIoN OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
LOCAL BUSINESS CHEERING.
TURPENTINE MARKET FIRM AT
45MC, WITH DEMAND sATIsFAC-
TORY.

Conditions rs They Exist Are CaIcu-
lated to Sire ngthen the Position
of the ArticIe-ROsins Firm and in
Demand-SpOt Cotton Quiet and in
Light Demand Resume of the
Weeks Business Operations.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, June 5.
The official week closes with gen.
eral local business satisfactory on the
whole, and especially promising in view
of the state of trade during this half
way point between the seasons. BusI-
ness is in the midst of summer dull
ness, and yet there is nothing upon the
faces of those in the commercial dis
trict to disclose the least dissatisfac-
ton with conditions as they exist.
The turpentine market probably fur
nished the feature of the week In the
local trading, and particularly was
this so with the countryman who ships
these products to the Savannah mar
ket. More spirited bidding for tur-
pentine was given as the means of car
rying the price of the product up. aid
ed by bullish statistical and crop con-
ditions. The supplies are short up to
this time. except at some of the for
eign markets, which are said to be well
supplied. London is reported to have
a stock considerably ahead of last year
at this time. However, the domestic
demand was never better for this time
of year than it is now, and with a con-
tinuance of this, conditions like those
at times existing in the cotton markets
with the domestic mills gobbling up the
offerings, may not be entirely improb-
able. OF course, the domestic demand
will not clean up the market when the
active movement begins, but it is prob
able that large takings for this ac-
count would cut down the local offer
ings and the supply sufficiently to inn
part great statistical strength to the
situation. Resins close firm, with the
demand good for all grades.
The spot cotton market closed quiet,
with the demand light, owing to the
fact that there are but fifty bales of
unsold cotton in town. The fob.
market was quiet. with basis good mid
ding selling at 12c. The wholesale
markets closed steady. Details of the
different markets as follows:

New Orleans, June SIN the spot
cotton market there was little doing.
Spot quotations revised: Low middling
and higher grades advanced &c.
Futures were dull. At the opening
June was down 2 points, July up /,
September down 2 and the other posi-
lions were 4@7 points lower. In the
trading during the day there were
slight fluctuations, but for the new
crop positions the market had a dis
tinctly downward trend. The decline
here was attributed to kilograms re-
ceived from New York, claiming that
the increasing cotton acreage was 10
per cent. and the percentage of condi-
ton was put at go 1t is also claimed
that the into sight figures are bear
ish. At the close, compared with yes
terday's prices, June was down 2
points, July even August 3 down and
the new crop positions were 9@11 points
lower.

Baxter and Coz. Cotton Letter.

New York, June 5.-There was no
market in Liverpool to-day and there
will be none tomorrow so the local
SPECTATORS have moderated in SYM
patty. The Chronicle issued its annual
estimate of acreage to-day and showed
an increase of 6.21 per cent. which,
compared with an increase of only 81
per cent. reported by the bureau yes
terday. This caused a rush to sell at
the opening led by the large spot
houses who are supposed to be short
to the mills. 1t was soon discovered
was greater the Chronicles actual re-
port in acres merely brought the area
planted up to that already reported by
the government. In other words, the
government reports the total acreage
at $780,, 900 acres and the Chronicle at
2S, 995, 900 acres. When this fact be-
came generally appreciated the sales
was rapidly absorbed and efforts at
further depression ceased though the
buying demand did not assume suf-
ficient volume to cause full recoveries
from early declines. Taken altogether
the Chronicle report was evidently in
tended to be bearish, but it did not
carry much weight in view of its wide
divergence from other conservative au-
thorities, even emitting the govern
ment. The Journal Of Commerce as
a result of an exhaustive investigation
a week ago declared the acreage had
increased less than 1 per cent.

New York, June 5.-Harris, Gates &
Co., in their cotton letter, to-day, state:
Liverpool was closed to-day and the
local market was dull with a loss for
the day on near positions of 5@7 points
and 9@12 points on the later months.
What the immediate future will be it
is difficult to predict, as the July clique
will, in all proba bility, advance the
price of that month materially before
tender day, and this with naturally
have it's influence on later months, but
the worst that can be said of the new
crop is that it is two to four weeks
late. We think that sales Of winter
months on firm markets will prove a
good speculation unless unfavorable
conditions increase.

and therefore the advance had Gull
minated. On the decline yesterdays
sellers were noted as quiet buyers, but
there was only a small demand all day
Crop accounts from Houston were
rather better, from Vicksburg worse.
While Atlanta complained of too much
rain. The market has been very quiet,
with the bearish temper conspicuous
in all transactions. Our stock is be-
ing reduced by shipments to spinners
here and on the continent. Some buy
ing orders for the new crop came from
the continent. The increase in acreage
given by the Chronicle was 6.21 per
cent, bringing its estimate of acreage
up to that of the government, and
while admitting a late crop and small
stand was bearish in tone. Liquida-
ton by Wall street continued to the
close. with the cotton passing to yes
terday's sellers. A bearish visible sup
ply statement expected tomorrow, on
account of Whitsuntide holiday. Lo
cal feeling continues bearish. The spot
market was quiet and unchanged.
