Shanghai Cafe Attached;
 Prisoners Fed on Perishables

Deputy Clements sealed all of the unbrolxen stuff at the cafe, but all packages which had been opened and all parts of chicken not used during the day were brought to the jail as a feast for the prisoners.
 There was some stuR that nobody knew anything about. Queer tasting stun that might have been piclkled nuts, hchese, or preserves of some sort There was however, several broken packages of excellent tea, but from ap- pearances 1t Is problematica1 whether the prisoners got any of that or not. =
 But the prisoners. or rather some of them. had q feast royal. There was chicken and vegetables of various kinds; plenty of good coffee and several open boxes of indigestible but popular breakfast foods. There was also but ter and sauces galore.
 What win be done with the restau- rant is problematica1, as the urbane' owner of the place Is yet to be found. and the creditors have 2 restaurant on their hands.

NEW YORK COTTON.

The close was steady at net advance of 1301I points. Sales for the day were estimated at 150.o00 bales.
 The market opened steady at an advance of nine points in response to better cables than expected and while there wre slight recessions during the day. the general tend ency was upward until in the late trading prices showed an advance of 18D2 20 points. The close was a shade off from the top as . result of realizing. but at no time dur ,gressive selling for short account. such as was in evidence at times yesterday.
 The big Wall Street people who were re- ported to be bearing the marlgt on Tues day seemed to be passive during today's trading, selling a little from time to time but making no apparent effort to break prices. The wet weather in the Southewst and possibility of floods furnished ground for most of the bullish talk and there were rumors of a break in the lovses along the Red River. which however. were not con- Sirmed.
 Reports of a better spot demand and the relative firmness of the near months in Liverpool attracted some attention but July here was relatively quiet and new crop months led in the upward movement.
