0. E. FIERCE A CO.'S COTTON LETrER

lBy Private Wire from Gibert & Clay)
 NEW ORLEANS, April 13e-Cotton experi- enced further sharp depreciation in value, due to selling for all accounts under the influence of continued indifference on the part of spot buyers. The support from speculative sources was of a restricted char acter and was quite over crawded by the magnitude of offerings. It is highly prob able, however, that this zealous selling has left the market in possession of a consider able speculative short interest and places the situation in position to respond read fly to any subsequent developments of an encouraging nature. It was reported that a quantity of hedged cotton found willing buy CTS at the decline and of course trades were consummated only through the medium of an ample supply of contracts while the actual cotton thus purchased is supposed to be intended for the regular channels of trade If the supply Of hedged cotton is reduced to low figures, the market will be dependent upon other holders to furn.sh necessary cotton for liqudating contracts and 1t is doubtful If such unhedged cotton can be secured at concessions. So far as the regular trade is concerned, there seems to be disposition to buy spot cotton when ever it gets around the IA cent level and A decided aversion to buying 1t when elevated to or above the Is cent mark. This con ditton doubtless arises from the dullness of manufactured goods though individual sen- timent may figure somewhat in regulat- ing such course. Under the circumstances the market resolses itself into a contest between spot holders and spinners with the light movement encouraging friendly sentiment from speculative sources.

VIRGIN FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER

lover Private Leased Wire)
 NEW YORK, April 13.-There was a steady opening to the market for cotton futures to-day. Their first prices were to 10 points lower, the losses being & fair re- sponse to disappointing advices from the English market, There was quite a little support in the market in consequence of reports of frost in the central ports of the belt, and prices rose little. The trade. however, was extremely small, there being practical standstill at times. The re- ceipts were small at all times. but there was little change in the spot situation the supplies being small and the demand contin- ung light There was also much talk about further contemplated curtaiIment of con sumption. and pending definite advices in this connection many interests were disposed to hold aloof. Traders generally were in- clined to look for builish insight figures for the week. The late market was excited and on profit taking and concerted bear ham, merins prices fell rapidly. The foreign element did little late in the day, but New Orleans was a moderate buyer on all of the recessions. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against 1o,21s for the same day last year.

The Sky Pilot. {"

hey. j. h. Sharpe might we'll have
felt battered at the large audience
which greeted his appearance on the
lecture platform of the Presbyterian
church on Friday evening. The large
auditorium including the gallery was
filed to overlooking. and the u.anu
umous opinion of those present was
that it was g most entertaining, inter.
esting and profitable lecture. The
title The Romance of a Sky Pilot
lead many to believe that the lecture
would deal somewhat with Ralph Con-
nor's novel of that name. but the
speaker spoke OF the Sky Pilot IN the
generic sense, and told of his own ex-
periences and scenic splendors OF the
far north and West where he has pass
ed so much OF his life.
He left the people with better and
more comprehensive view OF the great
Dominion to our north and told mucn
Ut its marvels both in the east and
west. With much simplicity he told of
his life in Manitoba. at Winnipeg and
| Edmundson on the gold trail to Alaska
| in the northwest territory. among
ranchere. COW boys, miners, timbermen
and all the complex sturdy. stalwart
though crude Civilizations that go to
make up that marvelof the world the
pioneer. The lecture was thoug ttpl
| filed with a broad spirit of Christian
ity and Christian charity and helpful
ness and was we'll calculated to make
] one appreciate the benefits of the
/ higher and more staple civilization w
haye attained. The Presbyteriar
ladies are jubilant over the inaneia
success which was theirs, the receipts
having exceeded 800. 06 but more thar

impression their pastor made as
lecturer.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Congregation Just Has Time to
Get Out Before Tower Falls.
ARE DENISoN CHURCHES SAFE?
Doors She.ld be Made to Open Outward
The Expense Would be Small as Com
pared to Loss of Life

Logan. Ia. Feb. 7.-tSepcial)-While
the flames rapidly ate their way
through the roof above their heads.
and crept up the lofty bell tower the
panic stricken congregation which had
assembled in the FirsS Christian church
for divine worahip this morning jostled
one another in their effort to escape
from the building. Only a few
moments after the last worshipers had
crossed the threshold. the bell tower,
undermined by the flames, fell with a
crash. filling the interior of the build
ing with mass of burning timbers.
An instant's delay in giving the alarm
would have meant the loss of several
lives. and as 1t was, q number OF mar
row escapes have been recorded.
The alarm of fire was given just be-
fore the usual time for the assembling
of the Sunday school. when the build
ing was crowded with women and
children. Instantly there was rush
flor the doors. and the church was
emptied with celebrity which was the
only thing that prevented a tragedy.
The church was the finest in Logan,
and had been only recently completed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. It is
supposed that the fire was caused by
an overheated furnace.
No one anticipates a similar occur
renee of this kind in Denison, but we
believe it the duty OF the fire chief to
take some action in regard to having
the churches made safer. The doors
should be made to swing outward in all
cases. Take the Methodist church for
instance, there are five exists including
the basement. All of these doors
swing inward, and in case OF q jan nc
one would be able to open them. The
door leading from the gallery when
open entirely closes the passage
to the gallery. There are three
doors leading to the main
vestibule, all swinging in. The doors
TO the vestibule also swing in. The
cost in making u change would be very
nominal. The Germania opera house
should have an outside stairway'leadine
from the gallery. Even in the ordinary
cases. there is a almost a jam, the
crowd from the gallery and those from
the main audience room, coming to
gether when leaving the hall. W,
believe it the duty OF the mayor il
cases where there is no fire chief t,
take action in the matter. He shout,
act with the same authority as tn,
fire chief. There is certainly some wa
in regulating these fire traps. and tn
citizens of Denison are demanding
that immediate action be taken.
P. S.--Since the above was placed il
type the Board of Managers of the M
q. church held meeting and appoint
ed q committee to have all the door
changed, making them swing outward
with the exception of the inner door
|, which will swing both ways. Nog
that the movement Is started all othe
churches should do likewise, and nc
wait for the authorities to call upo
them and demand that the changes
. made.

HARROD'S BAD RECORD.

It seems that President Roosevelt
has created mere strenuous opposl-
ton in the appointment of b. M. Har-
rod of New Orleans as a Panama
canal commissioner than created by
the appointment of all other members
of the commission
The Louisiana delegation, including
senators and representatives, has ac-
cepeted the appointment of Harrod as
a challenge and is now engaged ia
having prepared for the president
enlightenment an Illuminating history
of Mr.. Harrod's career as nn engineer
in Louisiana. 1t appears that the del
egation endorsed another engineer
and, according to stories current at the
capitol. received assurances at the
White House that the man whom 1t
had selected would be appointed.
The publication of Harrod's name
in connection with the personnel OF
the commission was complete sur
prise to Senators McEnery and Fos-
ter and the Louisiana members CT the
heuse. They did not dream that
Harrod was even being considered.
Senator McEnery was too angry to
talk about the matter beyond declaring
that he will fight Harrod's nomination
to a finish if the president sends the
name to the Senate.
