Nrxv oRI,EANs COTTON.

New Orleans, April 9.-Spot cotton closed quiet and easy. with prices unchanged; mid ding 10 9-16c. Sales were 275 bales on the spot and 450 to arrive
 The good spot day in Liverpool was in no way reflected in the local market. due principally to the fact that trading was confined almost entirely to the better grades of which there is at present marked scarcity.
 Reports of frosts and cold weather in the cotton belt caused the futures market to open at an advance of from five to seven points. July went as high 10 3S. after which trading eased off somewhat as re- suit of profit taking. News of the adoption of the Mayfield bill by the Texas Senate was construed as bearish and appeared to take the heart out of the bulls. presenting an opportunity for the bears to hammer the market which was done It again came up on shorts realizing before the close which was steady. prices ranging from two to six points below the close of yesterday.

Saw Mill and Joiner shops at League
 Island Burned.


 Philadelphia, April 9.-One of the large buildings in the League Island navy yard, containing the saw mill. joiner shop and pattern shop. was aI- most entirely destroyed by fire early to0ar.
 Officers at the yard estimate the loss at between s70,000 and $106,000. The fire was discovered by a watchman who turned in an alarm. The navy yard fire company responded promptly, but the flames had gained such head way that all the marines and sailors stationed at the yard were called on.
 Assistance was also asked of the Philadelphia fire department. Despite the efforts of the fire fighters, the structure was soon enveloped in flames and the interior of the building was completely destroyed. Many patterns for the equipment of vessels of the navy were burned and they will be difficult to replace.
 Much of the furniture intended for the battleship Kansas. was stored Tn the building and was destroyed.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. April s.-Realising sales had a weakening effect today on the local wheat market May closing at a net decline of 3-s@l-2c, Oats were off l-sc. Provisions were IF 1-2c to IT 1-2c higher
 The wheat market subjected to con- siderable selling pressure all day and the feel ing was heavy from beginning to end. At the start the market was affected by liberal Northwestern receipts and by the unre- sponsiveness of the market at Liverpool where prices were barely steady, notwith- standing the one cent advance here yester- day. The forthcoming government report which will be issued tomorrow acted as a check to would be buyers. The general be- lief is that the government figures will not show so much damage to the winter crop as going over the ground An increase of 4,- 6O0000 bushels for the week in the worlds visible supply compared with a decrease of 1.339.000 bushels last week was an addition al factor which developed during the last part of the day. The greater portion of the selling was by local and outside longs, the offerings being taken by commission houses. Damage reports were numerous but pit traders seemed to ignore them. The market closed weak.
 May wheat opened unchanged to 1-sc low CT at v 1-s@1-4c: sold of to 7s 5-sc and closed at 7s 3-497-sc.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal e5o.0 900 bushels. against 3os,0oo for the cor responding time one year ago.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of s5 cars. against a holiday last week and 234 cars one year ago.
 The corn market was firm, despite the weakness of wheat. Cash houses were fair buyers of May. The demand was due large ly to a decrease in local receipts, arfvals today being considerably less than what had been estimated. Liberal shipments augmented bullish sentiment Offerings were light all day. The market closed firm with prices at the highest point.
 May corn opened shade to 1-sc higher at 46 3-Sc to 46 3-s@1 -2c, sold at 46 1-4c and then advanced to 4S 5-sc, where 1t closed.
 Oats were moderately firm at the start because of buying based on reports of dam age to the crop in the Southwest. Later, however, the market eased of in sympa- thy with the weakness of wheat. The bulk of trading was in the July and September deliveries.
 May oats opened unchanged to 1-sc high CT at 42 7-Sc to 43c. Sold off to 42 5-s e 34c and closed at AZ 3-4c. Local receipts were 271
 Trading in provisions was light. largely becauseo a scarcity in offerings. The market was firm during the entire session. a Sc to 10c advance in the price of live hogs being responsible for the strength.
 At the close May pork was up IT l-2c at SIG .O2 1 Pc Lard was up i2 1-2c at $s IS. Ribs were 12 1-2115c higher at $s5b
