METHODIST CHURCH AT
CUTHBERT CATCHES AFIRE
Flames Started in Basement and Did
Several Hundred Dollars Damage.

Last Sunday afternoon about 4
o'clock fire was discovered in the
Cuthbert Methodist church. The fire.
men labored under difficulties; the
whole house was filed with smoke
and the flames could not be located
at first. Will Martin entered the
basement but was overcome by the
smoke and was removed in an uncon-
scious condition. With the aid of a
gas mask A. S. Perry succeeded in
locating the fire in the basement. 1t
was eating its way through the floor
in the Sunday school room. By tear
ing up the floor the firemen succeed
ed in directing water where needed
and extinguished the fire.
In connection with the fire, water
and smoke added to the damage,
which is variously estimated at from
$500 to $500 to double that amount.
1t is now thought that the handsome
pipe organ was not injured, as was
feared at first.
The fire was communicated from
furnace fiue in the basement.

New York June 1.-The stock market has been generally weak today, although prices have enjoyed quite smart recov- cry in the last hour.

In spite of the late rally prices are not much more than even with last nights colsing figures which were considered at that time as showing weak ness.

 We do not feel like following the mar ket on the bull side any further and would urge the utmost caution in mak- ing new commitments on the long side for the time being, for in spite of the firm tone which the market presents every now and again this strength is not as general or as well sustained as it was and the market has lost good deal Of it's snap.

New Orleans. June 12.-The main ih- fluences early in the day was the ex- tension of the telegraphers strike to comprise the postal system and agree ment service with the railroad offices in the interior. This. the uncertain character of political news, A decline in English consols, reaction in the stock market, the expectation of a favorable weekly report. and forecasts of disappointing May consumption, were the selling features on which the market opened 20 to 50 lower and soon showed a decline of 70 points on Octo- Der With telegraphic communication hampered. all enterprises is under a check, which of course, is against the markets while it lasts, but belief pre- vails that the tie-up can hardly last long and any news of approaching settlement would be felt in the market by renewed support.
 This view. and bullish weather held selling in check and caused a 40 point rally after the first depression.
 New York says that the sharp re- verse in the market yesterday was caused by the action of the Federal Re- serve Board in restricting speculation. reports of domestic mill buyers having withdrawn from the market. On the other hand there are reports of foreign goods buyers bidding for goods in the American markets. and claiming that goods are cheaper here than can be pro- duced at present abroad.
 Liverpool was due unchanged to 10 lower. but closed 55 points down.
 The market continued nervous and unsettled and the early rally was fol- lowed by sharp breaks carrying Octo- Der as low as 29.18 from which another advance took it back to 2970 where the market stands at one o'clock.

NERVOUSNESS IN
 COTTON TRADING IN
 NEW YORK MARKET
Close Was Very Steady at a Net Loss of Only 3 to 25 Points Under Mondays
 Close
By Associated Press

New York, June 1.-The cotton mar ket showed continued nervousness and irregularity today but the volume of business subsided after an early break of sS to 92 points and the close was very steady at 8 net loss of only to 20 points. October sold off to 2975 and closed at S046.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 30 points although the cables were better than due and was very weak during the early trading, A
 more favorable weather map and ex-
 pectations of a favorable weekly re- port from the weather bureau probably
 promoted the selling while the dis
 position to liquidate long contracts was
 supposed to be increased by the un-
 certainties of the wire service owing to
 the strike of telegraph operators. July
 sold off to 304S and December to 2947, with October contracts showing a de- cline of about 155 points from the high level of yesterday.
 Offerings then became smaller, the weekly weather report was no more parish than expected that trade buyers had taken part of the contracts liqui- dated earlier in the day. Last prices showed rallies of about 67 to Il points from the lowest.
 The weather map was considered favorable and private reports from the Southwest were more cheerful but much | of the early selling was attributed Tto I liquidation and the appearance of trade 1 buying on the decline was a sustaining | factor.
