pleasant on the gulf and bay. In the
bay, the harbor presented very lively
scene, the small boats not venturing
out to any extent, and the large ones
anchored in the stream dropped an
extra anchor.
AS the seas began to grow larger

began to attend to timber RATS and

done. The smaller tugs worked valiant

ST. LOUIS MAN
BOOSTS CITY
THINKS PENSACOLA is ALL RIGHT
NOW AND WILL BE BETTER YET
WHEN NEW RAILROAD is BUILT

Thos. f. Ferguson, st. Louis real
estate man, is a member of Pensa-
cola's tourist colony and is one of the
most enthusiastic boosters that the
Deep Water City has ever had. Mr..
Ferguson says that Pensacola is a
great port and a fine city just as she
stands today, but when that other rail-
road is finished nothing in the world
can hold her down. Mr.. Ferguson
characterizes The Journal as a regular
metropolitan daily and it was through
impressions made by reading The
Journal that he decided to visit here
this season. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Ferguson.

NEW YORK FUTURES.

New York, March 10.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady but to a decline of 10
2 points on new crop positions owing to
reports of scattered rains in Texas. The
market was active and excited at first,
owing to an urgent demand from near
months shorts and aggressive bull sup
port. May quickly advanced to 1880, or
IS points net higher, while later positions
sold UP to a net gain of about 9a10
points, but a good deal of cotton came
out on the bulge and the market later
was several points of from the best.
Trading was less active during the
late forenoon and bull support was less
in evidence, but near month shorts
showed signs of continued uneasiness and
prices ruled steady at a net advance of
about 6612 points. Private wires from
Texas claims that rains are not sufficient
to modify the new crop outlook. Spot

NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

New Orleans, March 10.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to z
points on favorable cables. Rain was re-
ported quite extensive over Texas but,
much to the surprise of the trade, it had
no effect on prices, the strength of the
Liverpool market wholly offsetting it.
Private cablegrams said that the bullish-
ness of the English market was based on
the growing belief in a squeeze in the
May position in New York. Some of the
local traders We're of the opinion that
this belief was due to the presence of a
prominent Chicago operator in Liverpool
In the first hour of trading the old crop
months rose until they were 10 points
over yesterdays closing. Little business
was done in the new crops. October ad-
The market was very steady through
out the morning and prices advanced until
the old crops were Is to II points up.
The old crops were not as strong and at
the highest stood to points up. Liver
pool continued to cable over bullish mes
sages and these were the main strength
of the market. Weather predictions were
also considered bullish since they did not
promise any more rain for Texas. At
midday reports by wire from that state
said that the drouth had been only tempo
rarily relieved and that more rain was
needed to moisten' the subsoil which is
so dry in some sections deep cracks have
been made in the ground. At noon the
market still preserved it's good tone and
stood at the highest levels of the day.

Mr.. Sherman's good qualities and
