CROPS IN HIGHLAND
Rains Come Most Too Late to
Save Burned Vegetation

Monterey, Va, July 21.-The break
ing of the long drouth came too late to
materially help the hay crop in High
land, and this, the county's chief har-
vest, will be the smallest in many
years. There are some meadows that
are scarcely worth moving, while in
one or two sections of the county,
where local showers helped, the crop
is much better. On the whole, how
ever, Highland stockmen will go into
the winter with an alarmin ely
amount of feed. The grass in the
pastures is short, but seems to have
fine fattening quality, and stock is
taking On rapidly.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE

Flames, of Supposed lncendiary

chants, together with the O'Neill
dwelling which adjoined the store.
The buggy sheds and ice house on
the property were also destroyed
with their contents.
The total loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The
storeroom and dwelling were insured
for about $1,000, and the stock OF
goods for about $4,000. There was
no insurance on the furniture in
the dwelling, nor on the buggies and
harness which were destroyed with
the stable.
Fire" shouted by John Smith, q
neighbor, brought Mr.. O'Neill hur-
riedly from his bed. Reaching the
storeroom he was unable to gain en-
trance on account of the great heat
from the flames. A bucket brigade
was formed, but despite the best ef-
forts of the volunteer firemen the
flames spread to the dwelling, which
was soon reduced to ruins. The con-
tents of the dwelling, except the
furniture on the second floor were
saved.

cupied above the store J. G. Klise

NEW YORK STORM SWEPT
Lightning Hits in Fourteen Places
in the Big City

New York, July 21.-In one of the
most violent thunderstorms that has
ever visited New York, more than a
dozen buildings were struck by
today, among them being
the Catholic Church of the Guardian
Angel, one of the landmarks of COney

The church was erected in 1880,
and was valued at $4,000.

lightning were the French Sisters
Home, 1875 Lexington Avenue; New

West Farms Road; tenement house
at 1910 Franklin Avenue, the Bronx;

ment house, at So South Oxford
street; home of Wallace Grant, ga
South Oxford street, Brooklyn; resi-
dence of the Rev. Albert Grantz, 730
East Two Hundred and Twenty-fifth

The storm which hit New York was
divided into two sections. The first
one began shortly before midnight
and lasted for more than an hour.
The second a little before o'clock.
The lower section of the city was as
dark as at night, and electric lights
had to be turned on in Office build
ings.

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, July 31.-Cotton futures
opened steady at decline of 10 to IL
points on much lower Liverpool market
than due. Short selling was general in
the early trading and the only support
came from those who went short last
week and were satisfied with their profits.
Bearish sentiment was stimulated by the
receipt here of the first bale of Louis
iana's new crop. 1t was shipped from
Rayne, weighed $40 pounds and came in
nine days earlier than the first bale last
year. At the end of the first holf-hour
of business the market was quiet and
steady at a decline Of II points. The
weather map showed some little rain
over the cotton country, but was called
favorable on the whole.
Short covering to realize profits in
creased as the session progressed around
the middle of the morning, the market
displayed a very steady tone. August
made a complete recovery to the level
of yesterdays close. The new crops were
not as strong and at their highest were
/ to 4 points down. Scalpers around the
ring went short on this small upward
movement and It was difficult for the
market to maintain the recovery. AT
noon the list was 2 to points under
Saturdays close. The July option went
out at noon with no excitement at all.
