Business In New Orleans.


The following excerpts from Dun's
Review of Feb. IS, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove interesting:
General Conditions-Weat con-
ditions have very materially interfered
with the movement of merchandise in
all lines, and this, coupled with the
fact that country merchants are dis.
posed to buy very sparingly, has
caused the jobbing trade to be very
quiet. Retail trade has also been dull.
The movement OF grain is of large
proportions, exports being more than
twice what they were at the same time
last year, and there is every prospect
that the movement through this port
will continue heavy for some time at
least.
Concentrating in cotton futures
has been of only fair proportions.
The market has fuetuaIe within mar
row limits, the closing being steady
and about twenty points under what it
was a week ago. Spots are out one
eighth, but are still selling at pre-
MUM over futures. Receipts Of cotton
at al ports: 8, 1863, 1892 bales, against
1900, 256 bales last year. Stocks at
all ports: TIC, PAT bales, against SOS, $50
last year.

PORTLAND'S SHIPYARD.
Three or Four Hundred Foot Vessels
Can Now BE Built mt Home,

a completely equipped shipyard has
been built up by the Portland Steel
Shipbuilding company at st. Johns.
At present a contract is being figured
on involving the expenditure of more
than 100000. Few outside those di-
rectly interested in the work of the
plant are aware of the existence of a
yard of such size. Portland can build
a S00-foot steel ship complete at 10
per cent less than any yard on the
coast. Albert Kelly, who is one of the
incorporators of the company, and IN
charge of the shops, has been en-
ployed in every big plant on the coast
and several in the east and abroad

LIFE IN ToNoPAH.
High Death Rate Owing to Impure
Drinking Water.

X. Chitwood. who returned recently
from Tonopah, New, tells some re-
markable incidents of his trip to the
Nevada gold fields, says the Boise
News.
Mr.. Chitwood left Boise In February
and has spent the intervening time
seeking the precious metal In the ad-
jacent state. He returns much broken
in health, but thankful to be alive at
all after witnessing the ravages OF dis
ease in the new Eldorado.
Speaking of the high death rate at
and around Tonopah, Mr.. Chitwood
states that It seems to be the result
of impure drinking water. The gov
ernment, he states. has fenced off all
impure springs and streams so far as
1t has been able to find them. but
some poisonous springs and streams
not easily accessible are overlooked.
and prospectors, coming upon such
in the course of their travels and find
ing the water clear. cold and deli
cious to the taste, unhesitatingly
drink their FILL as do their pack ami
| mails. But the most sparkling and
coolest streams, Mr.. Chitwood says,
are frequently the most poisonous.
Mr.. Chitwood stated that the most
pathetic incident he encountered was
some 80 miles from Tonopah. where,
in company with other prospectors, he
came upon a deserted hut, in which
| lay the bodies of a woman and little
girl, their fingers worn to the bone In
a vain endeavor to dig to water, nc
implements being at hand. 1t was
evident that the water course nearby
had gone dry, and the sumption is
that the men folk were away prospect
ing, unwittingly leaving their loved
ones to a most horrible death. There
were no animals about the place.
Mr.. Chitwood states that to his
knowledge in several instances robust
healthy men have slckened and died
within 80 minutes. usually from poi
son water. Other diseases, however
he states. flourish there also. Expert
physicians from Germany and from
San Francisco are engaged in solving
the problems.
Prices of necessary foodstuffs and
wearing apparel at interior points are
| enormously high. Mr.. Chltwood states
he having paid as high as $3.50 for
sack of barley Weighing about 81
pounds; 800 for an ordinary pair o.
gloves, and eevrything else In like
ratio
