DEMERE 4 HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

New York, Nov. 2.-Liverpool opened
much better than expected and con-
tinued to improve. closing at best of
day about 10 points higher than last
night. Spots advanced s points. but
sales were not so good. amounting to
only 1000 bales. Sentiment seems to be
changing abroad and bearish views are
being abandoned. The absence of spot
offerings from the South and buying
by continental and Egyptian operators
help to cause the advance. Shorts on
this side of the water have been quite
nervous throughout the day and there
have been a good deal of covering,
causing a gross advance of about IL
points. With the activity in Liverpool,
has come renewed spot demand and
strong markets are reported in the
South, with prices NC higher and good
sales. The dry goods market con-
tinues 10 gather strength and substan-
tial advances have already been scored
In staple lines. Sellers are becoming
decidedly independent and even go so
far as TO warn their customers that
they had better put IN their orders

now before the stock has been reduced
to nothing. or prices have been mate
rally advanced. Traders were rather
disappointed over the absence of the
final instalment of the ginners' report,
which was generally expected to-day.
No matter what the figures may be,
when the summary is made up, it looks
as If a crop of 100000 is already out
of the question. The recent estimate
of 10, $4,000 by the Journal of Com
merce and that of 1O,960O00 by the
New York Commercial are accepted by
many as close to the true figures of
the crop.

SEVEN LIVES LOST
And Blk Others Seriously Injured
in New York Fire.
HEROIC REscUEs BY FIREmEH
Men Sought to Escape First bu,
Thurst Back While Women
and Children Were
Taken Ont.

At New York seven persons were
burned to death and six others were
injured seriously In fire which parti-
ally destroyed tenement building at
Nos. 6S-70 First street early Tuesday.
More than 20 families were asleep in
the building and acts of bravery ac-
companied their rescue, which was
accomplished by tiremen and police.
1t was shortly after 2 O'Clock when
the alarm was given. Within the
few moments that had elapsed the
iiames were found to have gained
great headway from the first floor and
the neighborhood was in a panic of
terror. Women and children we're
being dropped from the windows OF
the lower floors and dozens of grown
persons were fighting in the Railways
to reach open air.
a policeman clambered to the roof
Of an adjoining building and by cling
ing to the cornice with the smoke
pouring into his face, reached down
to the windows OF the fifth floor and
rescured seven children who were
handed out by their parents. An oill-
Ger winding coat about his head,
entered the building from below and
rolled down the stairs the body OF a
half Suffocated man. Three times the
officer came back carrying two persons
in his arms. Then he fell exhausted
Meantime, ladders had been run to
the top of the building and liremen,
clambering up, rescued at least 20

jump. Men sought to reach the lire.
men first, but were thrust back while
the women and children were taken
out. One fireman although badly
burned, took ieven persons from a
single window on the fourth floor.
When the work of rescue had been
completed and the flames had been
brought under control, the tiremen
hurriedly searched the crowded flats
and on the fourth floor, they found
six members OF the KonovitSch family
dead.
On top OF the building an unidenti-
fled man was found dead. Police
Capt. McDermott and the fremen
who first reached the burning build
ing, believed the fire was Of incendiar5
origin. Their theory is borne out by
the statements Of the janitor OF the
building who says that al attempt
was made to set ii'e to the tenement
| last Thursday night.

then, is the result, and figures don t
lie: Russia has lost IS battleships

COLLAPSE OF n Hridgc.

At Saltwater, Mich, the bridge
across Lake st. Croix, which is a half
mile long, extending to the Wisconsin
side, caught fire late Thursday after
noon. The fire created some commo
tion and the fire apparatus in respond
ing to the alarm was followed by the
usual crowd OF persons. The fire had
50 weakened one end Of the spars of
the rather ancient structure, that
when the fire apparatus and the crowd
attempted to cross it, it fell into the
water, twenty feet below. About
twenty persons were precipitated
with the wreckage into the water.
AdOlph Boo, aged %, and George Nc
Grath, aged IS. were killed, and five
Others were seriously injured. The
financial loss was small.
