| Ferry, between the towns of Fairfield
and Clinton in the counties of Somer-
set ana Kennebec, was passed to he en-

northeast part OF Fairfield and the
| the counties of Kennebec and Somer-
set. This bridge is situated midway
between the villages Of Fairfield and
Skowhegan and is eight miles distant
from the bridges over the Kennebec at
either place.

ice affords a crossing is the only means
of going from one side of the river to
the other This bridge at Pishon's Fer
nv will be great convenience to the
residents of Northern Kennebec ana

Canaan, Clinton and Fairfield would
call special town meetings at an early

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Hutton's wire says
THE market was several points lower on the
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE turn in the tide
came in cotton and prices showed from to 10
which were the awakening to the fact that the
trade conditions in Europe are not so gloomy as
the pesslmistic literature promulgated Tor market
purposes would seem TO Indicate, ana the fur-
ther fact that dry weather continues in the
western half of the cotton belt, where moisture
has been badly needed for some time The
movement of cotton from initial points seems to
be smaller scale and the pressure to sell
spots has lessened. The liquidation of pro-
fessionals seems TO have spent its force and
the market is now permitted TO follow the nat
ural trend of demand, contrasted with supply
The former of these being progressive and active
and the latter shrinking quantity, suggests
the early elimation of the bearish argument of
the relatively heavy visible, and higher prices
may be looked for. The short interest is large
and lacks the confidence of its position.

liveries share alike in the improvement. There
was no rain east of the Mississippi river over

FROM Socions of the central ami eastern portions

the inquiry was better. making it possible for
prices TO be advanced one-sixteenth The
country is beginning to be exhausted and the
buying in the future will have TO be done in the
open. 1t is said that inland points of cotton are
very comfortably situated and traders believe
that the remnant is worth more money than cur
rent prices especially as it consists of better
grades, with exceptional spinning qualities. As
to the possible damage from boil weyil in the
Mississippi valley this year, Vicksburg wires:
MANY seem 10 think this boil weevil proposition
is rumor. but if they could the planters in
this section looking for money to raise the next
crop and finding commission merchants are
