New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, La, July 21-Spot
cotton dull and unchanged. Sales $50,
including 100 to arrive; delivery on
contracts 100; quotations unchanged.
Futures opened quiet and prices were
1M15 points lower than yesterday S
close. Liverpool was not favorable to
ar advance in the local market, but
the English market was soon flooded
with buying orders from this side,
which gave the market q firm tone
and prices here rose rapidly in the
new crop positions. AT the middle of
the session the shorts were in the
midst of a scare and running for cover
and the market showed more activity
than it has for some weeks. AT the
highest level large lots of
October and December were offered
buying was sufficient to absorb offer
ings, longs commenced to take prohts,
which caused the market to ease OH.
August sold off 5 points to 1O.40 ad-
vanced to 1861 and finally eased OF
to 1852 October opened at ISL, sold
I'D to 81 and finally declined to 96l.

DRY Goods Market

New York, July 21.-The dry goods
market was steadier and certain au-
thorities predict an advance as the re-
suit of the strike announcement ut
Fall River. But the question of de-
mand for the finished goods is being
taken into account by those who do
not believe the market is likely to adj
vance. Jobbers are doing very mod
crate business.

net is Just about as short as before
v S TIME a covering move is made.
w w nat is the cause Of it all? The fact
.hat prices have discounted all we
know about the crop. In August
there is always talk of damage. How
can market that won't stay down
with the best of reports, go lower on
poorer ones? We don't see how it
can and for this reason believe in the
buying side on every break. Before
we get through there is likely to be
a merry time.

changes, either to their property or from
the restricting of their supply of water.
The foundations Of the dam have been put
in to make a 10 foot raise of water as di-
rected by the village but the committee
are only raising the dam five feet this
fall, leaving the rest OF the increase to
be added when II seems necessary.
The private car of the manager Of the
Northern Pacific railroad, which has been
in the local yard for the past ten days,
was so high that some question arose as
to its being possible to run It through the
tunnel under the square here and It was
taken down Monday and tested, resulting
in its passing all right but with a very
small margin. With the steady increase
I'm the size of cars the capacity of the
tunnel here is found inadequate, in some
cases causing much inconvenience. The
road has discussed means to increase
its size, either by lowering the tracks to
which the objection of danger from high
water is urged or raising the roof, which
must interfere with the buildings above
1t, as the roof now reaches almost to the
surface of the ground under a number of
the substantial business blocks. The
problem is perplexing one which will
have soon to be met in some way. The
private car mentioned, with General Man
ager Horne and his family who have been
spending the ten days here with relatives
and friends started yesterday upon its
return trip via New York Philadelphia
and Washington. Mrs. Elizabeth Butter
field accompanied the party on its re-
turn as the guest of Mrs. Horne, an old
school friend, and will spend some weeks
in Wisconsin and Montana.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Fire Loss of 100000 at Orange.

The japanning department of the New
Home sewing machine company's works
at Orange was totally destroyed by fire
Monday night with a loss of 500, 900. The
blaze was started by an explosion in the
part of the building containing the bak-
ing ovens and is thought to have been
caused by the fumes of benzine. Watch
man Ira A. White saw the flames at
5.12 p. m, but a few minutes after the
employees had left the building, and pull
ed in alarm, but the interior of the
structure was enveloped in flame before
the arrival of the firemen. The entire
department was called out and assisted
by the powerful fire pumps of the cor
poration the big main shops, storehouse
and shipping department buildings were
saved. Beside the direct loss to the COM
pany of the building and it's contents,
the damage incurred by the temporary
checking of the business at this time will
be enormous and several hundred men
will be temporarily thrown out of work.
The structure destroyed was 300 feet
long and 60 wide, with a height of two
stories. The building contained thou
sands Of sewing machine frames and
other parts in process of finishing and it
will be necessary for the assembling de-
partment to shut down until temporary
quarters can be furnished. The struc-
ture will be replaced at once.
