COTTON.

The cotton market ruled steady and
featureless throughout the week, with
the demand light and little business
doing in any quarter. The local unsold
stock is small, and coupled with this
is the damper the speculation has put
on the spot markets generally. In the
f. o. b. market conditions were pretty
much the same. Brokers reported do
ing some mill business, and that was
about all. Quotations were largely
nominal
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market

REVIEW OF MARKETS
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
COTTON HOLDS VERY STEADY.
LITTLE DOING IN SPOTS OWING TO
,THE EXISTING SPECULATION.

suot Cotton Steady With Little Do
inR-The +. O. b. Market Quiet-Tur-
nentine Nothing DOing-Week's
review of Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, May 20.
The cotton markets ruled steady and
less cratic the past week, though the
hesitation was generally regarded as a
feature of strength in view of the pre-
vious sharp advance in prices that
would have brought a correspondingly
sharp reaction but for support. The
belief is that the spectators have peg
ged the market pending developments
The theory of the bull clique is that
the opening of the new season will be
attended with shortage in supplies
that will cause prices to rise. Much
will depend upon the outturn of the
new crop, however, and as indicating
the importance the trade attach to this
at the moment the past week has
witnessed a flooding of crop inquiries
throughout the South, with view to
ascertaining the probable yield. Then
too, the inquirers desire to obtain as
much data as possible to compare with
the government reports, which will ap-
pear soon. From the standpoint of
most reviewers the position of the ar
ticle is strong. Locally, sentiment is
that with indications of a moderate
new crop prices will advance, and that
with large yield, say, much in excess
of $1,000, 900 bales, coming early enough
to fill the demand, lower prices may
be expected.
The turpentine market closed with
nothing doing. The market was fairly
active up to the middle of the week.
when large demand was satisfied and
the bottom dropped out of the support
Resins closed firm and in moderate de-
mand. The Wholesale markets closed
steady and mainly unchanged. Details
OF the different markets follow:

DRY G0Ons.

New York, May 29.-The dry goods
market has shown more willingness on
the part of buyers to accept the ad-
vances which have been made during
the week. Sellers are more independ-
ent than ever and advices from the
mills are that unless the new schedule
of prices is obtained the mills will be
closed. Compulsory curtailment will be
necessary in a great many instances on
account Of the short supply of cot

vantage of unsettled condition abroad
after hammering the market in small
way, especially the July contract. The
decline, however, was not regarded as
more than temporary. The Journal of
Commerce crop report indicated 1853
per cent poorer than last year, and a
slight increase in acreage, but the
temper was not to pay much atten-
ton to this just yet, until it was seen
that the figures are likely to be con-
firmed by the government report next
week. All accounts coming in are so
bullish that it is hard to reach any
conclusion other than that the crop is
a poor one so far and until the situa-
ton changes radically it would be dan
gerous to oppose attempts to advance
the market. The stocks in Liverpool
showed a further loss during the week.
Local prices rallied rapidly right after
the opening. Little cotton is for sale
The crop was looking too poor and
sellers were afraid to enter the mar
ket over the holiday. Mississippi re-
ports were quite poor and everybody
was taking pessimistic view on the
crop including the bears who contend
ed that prices were high enough. Ca
bles were steady at 4 to decline.
Liverpool will be closed until Tuesday.

New York, May 29.-Our market
opened with sales of July at 11.0Sc to
11.12c, closed 11.16c and after selling
at 11.25@11.26c, ruled at 11.18c at 1 y.
m. The two new factors which have
appeared are the Improvement in the
dry goods market and the report of the
Journal of Commerce giving the con-
dition of the crop as rs, against 912
last season. This is supposed to fore
shadow a very poor government report
next Thursday, against a very high one
last year. Our local traders, however
are quite bearish on the situation, be-
lieving the recent rains have benefited
the crop, and that the July deal will
not be carried out. At the same time
there is springing up an inquiry for
our stock from spinning points, who
feel the influence of the better demand
for goods. quiet market has result
ed, with August the weak position and
the distant months, except October,

local temper remains bearish, outside
prices were bid on the curb. The spot
market was dull and unchanged.

Mine Exp1oslon 1niurea No one.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 4.--An explosion of gas occurred yesterday afternoon in No. mine of the Lehign aLd Wilkesbarre Coal company, situ- ated in the southern part of this city. As soon as the report was sent out the greatest excitement prevailed from the fact that this mine is one of the most gaseous in the Wyoming valley. There were rumors that fifty men were en- toInbed by the caves and wreckage that had occurred, and in less than a half hour an immense crowd gathered about the head of the shaft, and the usual scenes ensued about the colliery. Officials nearby who had heard of the explosion hurried to the spot and at once began to muster all the volunteers they could obtain. Later on they went to the assistance of the men who were in the mine at work at the time the ex- plosion occurred. The rescuing parties found them all within a half hour, and none was buried or in any way injured.

BOYS CAUSE DAMAGE.
Broke Base of a Column at a New Building.

buIu1uS.
 New Haven, April 4.-A large num- Der of boys attending the Hillhouse High school may be subjected to stern discipline when the spring term opens after the Easter recess because of the part they took in the publication at tending the old institution yesterday. Although the school officials feel dis posed to make concessions to the en- thusiasm displayed by the pupils in connection with the transfer to the new High school building on York square, acts of destructiveness committed yes terday will not be overlooked.
 After the pupils had marched to the new building and amused themselves dancing and romping about while the German band played, a number of the more boisterous and venturesome en- tered the building. They ran into the large auditorium and indu1ged in q regular Yale rush. Representatives of two rivad classes met and serim- mage ensued. In the melee the plas- ter of one of the columns on the stage was broken. The pupils tramped in lot of mud and when they were final ly driven out the services of a jdnitor were badly needed.
 The matter was reported at the board of education and Dr Cushing, the prin- cipal. will make an investigation. The school officials are greatly provoked by the rough actions of the boys. The cost of repairing the broken base will not be heavy. but it is the feeling of the superintendent that the pupils are old enough to have shown better judg- ment

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Fewer Failures Than UsunI-Many
 Voluntarily Idle.

Fewer Failures Than UsunI-Many
 Voluntarily Idle.
 NEW YORK, April AR. c. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Results in trade and industry during the first quarter of 1908 appear con spicuously satisfactory when measured by the negative standard of failures. There were only 2,339 trading defaults. with liabilities of $15, ,S6S ,945, against 2,502 failures for $15,517, ,32S last year. Manufacturing returns are still more gratifying, 695 bankruptcies involving SIS, ,692, 718 comparing with 745 failures with liabilities of S14. .775, ,a04. In addi- ton, there were 166 failures of a com mercial nature, with an indebtedness of $4, TSP, TOO, which compare with TO similar failures for $3, 43S. .527 last year. In banking and other dduciary lines the exhibit was very good. liabilities of $4, ,563, ,402 comparing with S15,6S8,6 ,66S q year ago, diminution of two-thirds.
 Another week of good weather has brought out large volume of business, many manufacturers receiving urgent requests for immediate shipment.
 Numerous agreements have been reached, but April brought more than the customary number of strikes, and probably 5o,0oO men are voluntarily idle who might be we'll employed at the highest level of wages ever paid in this or any other country. An economic loss of this magnitude affects many more than those directly concerned. Thus far the most serious controversies have occurred in the building trades and textile lines.
 Weakness has been general in the leading staple products. Encouraging weather reports indicate large yield of winter wheat, and farm work is progressing satisfactorily in all sec tions except where excessive moisture restricts operations. Liberal purchases for foreign account prevented seri- ous reaction in wheat. and total ex. ] ports from all points in the United States were 3,006603 bushels for the week compared with 3,865, ,070 year ago. Notwithstanding soft roads, which retarded marketing ct some points, receipts of wheat were 2,502,- 09O bushels against 2,074, ,699 last year, and arrivals of corn aggregated 2,293,- 956 bushels compared with 1, 1,5S0,605 in the same week of 1902
