xgrrwT.Y LoCAL COTTON STATEMENT.
NEyv YORK COTTON.

New York; March e.-The cotton market waa nuief today and after some irregular 5ty ruled easy with the close easy at a daclffe of four to twelve points Sales we're reDarted of 1so.000 bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of four points and during the first few minutea sold off to a net loss of two to six points with near months relatively easy as a result of liquid afi0n and local selling inspired by dtsap- pointing cables. reports of railroad re- reiverahip and some talk of an easier spot situation in the Southwest. At the de- cline enough support developed in the way of covering. buying orders from Liverpool and a moderate demand from local bulls to rally the market to about the closing prices aE last night on the near months and to a slight net gain on later positions, but this Improvement was soon lost and the market was rather weak in the late Bes- sion on a Liverpool cable saying that Man chester apinners were sending out circulars advising short time. The close was at tho lowest point of the day.
 Receipts were light and the into-sight movement bullish but many thought that the visible supply statement tomorrow would not show as large decrease last yaar. Southern spot markets were gen. zratly unchanged to hc lower.
 Receipts at the ports today 16.473 bales, against 1s.4S0 last week and 30,eS2 last year. For the week 12O. 900 bales. against 17l, ,og6 last week sand 175.4s3 last year.
 Today'a receipts at New Orleans 6.37b bales, against s,177 last year and at Hous- ton 4,10g bales, against 1889 last year.

 d,date

Last Saturday, at Phenix, the re- publicans of Arizona in convention nominated Ralph H. Cameron, of Co., conino county, for delegate to con- gress, without opposition.
 Few people in Arizona are unac- quainted with Ralph Cameron. He is perhaps one of the most widely known men in civil life in the territory and numbers his friends by thousands. He will undoubtedly make great run for the coveted place.
 Hoval A. Smith, of Bisbee, was chosen chairman of the territorial committee, and E. s. Clark was chos- en vice chairman. O. D. M. Gaddis, George A. Bonelli, Eli Hilty, J. E. Perry and w. G. Blakely were named as territorial committeeman for Mo- have county.

This is. said to be the largest single shipment of gold bullion ever received here. It came from San Francisco, via Stockton and Bar stow, Cal, over the Santa Fe route, in charge of representative of the Gov ernment Treasury Department and six armed express messengers. The strictest secrecy was maintained about the shipment, and the utmost pre- caution was taken to prevent rob- bery.

The Roosevelt Dam in Arizona.

The Roosevelt dam will eclipse in
 magnitude of cubic contents all of the dams at present under construction by the reclamation service. It will con- tain 32O,OOO cubic yards of masonry, or over six times more than the Path finder, or nearly five times as much as the Shoshone dam. Its height will be 2SO feet from foundation, length on top 63O feet (including spillway bridges, l,OSO feet), and its thickness at the base l65 feet. In plan, although built in the form of an arch, this structure differs from the Shoshone and Path- finder dams in being of the gravity type wherein mass alone is sufficient to secure stability. The resulting res ervoir will be the largest artificially formed lake in the world, body of water 25 miles long.-Courier.

The third dividend of the Engineers lease on the Florence was declared yesterday and amounts to 9O,OOO$, or 27O,OOOS since the lease struck pay ore. The net proceeds of the lease thus far have been 475,O0OS. Three weeks ago the leasing corporation paid it's first dividend of l5 cents on each share, the total being 6OO,t O shares, or 9O,OOOs. Less than two weeks later the second dividend was declared. amounting to the same sum, and yesterday the third ghost made its walk with 9O.OOO$ more. The company is a close cor poration, control of which is held by Lyttleton Price, Harry P. Taylor and J. c. Nivin. It is claimed that nearly 3O,OOOS was spent on the lease before any pay ore was encountered, and the management was about ready to quit work when the shoot was tapped and fortunes made for the three men named and u e few to whom they had sold stOck.-Goldfield Tribune.

Ex-Governor Murphy Dead.

Last Saturday, at noon, Nathan Oaks Murphy, delegate to congress and lat CT governor of this territory, died at Coronado, California. Gov. Murphy had been ill the past two years with pulmonary troubles from which there appeared to be no hope of recovery. He went to Coronado early in the year to rest up for the fight that he knew he had to make against the inroads of the insideous disease. His death re- suited from hemorrhage of the stom- ach His remains were inferred in the cemetery at Coronado. At the time of his death he was 62 years of age, the greater part of his years hav- ing been passed in Arizona. He had many friends who will sincerely mourn his death.
