BARRKs asANER FOURTH. ].

The board Of aldermen. at their meeting
last evening, started a movement for a So
called saner Fourth, something which
other aud larger cities have tried and
found themselves unable 70 accomplish.
But unlike some cities Barre will not at
tempt to choke off legitimate celebration
Of the great day, and for that reason the
efforts may be rewarded with success. The
order that no fireworks, etc, shah be set
off except on the Fourth itself is certainly
a sane proposition and commends itself as
proper restriction. Heretofore the youths
Of the city have observed any day as the
Fourth whenever they could secure the
necessary gun powder and fireworks with
which to make a noise. This year the all
dermen have ordered that 10 one who has
been granted a license to sell these gener-
orators Of noise shall dispose Of their
wares except on Saturday, preceding the
Fourth and the day itself, Strictly adj
hered to- this ruling win obviate To a large
degree the abuses of previous years. X
the dealers Id fire crackers, etc., are pre-
vented from selling, except On the occa-
sions noted, these premature celebrations
viii be done away with. The day pre-
cediDg the Fourth being Sunday there will
be all the more need 81 d thorough en-
foreement Of the order promulgated by the
aldermen last evening. Let the youths Re
strain themselves until the proper time ar
riyes, and then let them give vent to all /

the amount of outside orders as in

ty This is partly due to large di
version of speculative interest to the
cotton and grain markets and partly
to the conflicting influences from the
cotton and wheat crop prospects.
The effect of these is to cause al
ternate advances and declines in the
market as a whole. as the effect OF
the cotton prospect or the wheat pros

There is very slight tendency for the

the wheat carriers to diverge. The

COTTON OPENS FIRM
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. 5.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
5 to IL points or rather better than
due on the cables. Trading at first
was moderately active. Some shorts
had evidently been rendered uneasy
enough by the recent resistance of the
market to cover on scattering reports
of damage in cotton i'll the general
belt by too much rain ana there was
also signs of bull support. After
selling up a little higher, however,
the market attracted liquidation.
Traders on the long side are none too
confident and on each slight advance
take profits while it also appeared that
the bulls were willing to reduce their
lines on any appearance of outside
buying orders. But while tho market
sagged on 4 few points. it ruled nerv-
Gus rather than easy, but there was
evidently very little inclination to sell
aggressively, although the renewed
prediction for an early and full new
crop of cotton amounting to 232 bales
at Galveston, and 154 bales at Hous-
ton was evidently encouraging some
offerings through some commission
houses. After ruling irregular dur
ing tho middle session with prices a
little off from the opening on some
positions, the market in the afternoon
turned very firm OF active Wall
Street bull support and reached a net
advance of 16 TO 10 points on the ac-
tive months. Toward the close the
market was active and realizing by
room longs cased off a few points,
but the close was steady at a net adj
vance of one point on August and of
Il TO Is points on later months. The
bulls seems to be buying later pO-
sitions and selling october whichthey
were credited with buying heavily ear
lier in the week. The into-sight move
ment Cor the week proved smaller
than looked for and exports were
moderately full.
Sales futures We're estimated ct
225.0o0 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 594
bales, against $40 last week and 155
asst year. For the week $4,000 bales,
against 1888 last week and 1,471
asst year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans were Ill bales. against 67

tations to points up. Prices were
fairly well maintained, the support
coming chiefly from the New York
bull Clique. Bears showed but little
aggressiveness and were in a waiting
attitude; it is their belief that TIE

extremely heavy within a short time,

Cotton Letter.

llaielgh, N. c., August 5.-The reg
lot monthly report was, of course, the
aGatufe of the week in cotton cir
hn Inc figures of GIG proved to
~ @olheWhat higher than the major
10y expected, and taken from the
standpoint of the trade and the cot
on SloWer of the South, the outlook
- now out of exceptional promise.
10y III the last fifteen years have
AiOoe hSureS been exceeded, that of
3; Us uSt, 1884, when the average con-
oltloh was placed at 91.6. AS compared
Win the outlook in recent years it
nov seems almost certain that we are
" LttlSe good cotton crop. The i'm
pot 'dllce OF this can hardly be over
ESTIMATED. There is abundant oppor-
tuillty Tor money to be made in a
speculative way without a cotton fam
Inc and manipulation such as havt
Deen seen in the past two years. AS
1af as the cotton market itself is con-
cerned, prices held remarkably steady
altef lhe report was received, a re-
suit due to the fact that there is a
benet1cient supply of actual cotton at
the present time and it will be sew
eral weeks before sufficient new cot
ton is available to weigh on the mar
ket. 1t must not be forgotten that the
price is reasonable one and that the
crop has not been gathered. All that
can be said at the moment is that
a conservative view of the situation
leads one to believe that the cotton
crop this year vii be large one
Without disaster that hardly seems
probable from the condition in the
South, recent surroundings in the way
of bountitul rain and moderate tenn
peratureS, the season is more than
likely to continue favorable to growth.
With this outlook there is certainly
very little inducement to buy cotton
for higher prices. Many traders have
been surprised at the failure of the
future market to decline this week
This failure has been due to unusual
support by prominent interests as IN
the South seems to have sold about
all the cotton they care to sell at
date. Because the market has failed
to decline under the high figures from
Washington, it does not signify that
few weeks. There is likely to be a
market similar TO that of the last two
or three weeks, though it is doubtful
whether the advance will carry Oct0-
Der as high as 10 cents this time. IN
til cotton begins to move freely ana
some of the many holes to be filed
with cotton are filled, there is not
likely to be any great change.
Sentiment in most circles is in
clined to the view that later on we
will have a lower range of values
with steady or somewhat erratic
market in the meantime.
