N. J. LINNELL & CO.'S LETTER.

New Orleans, February l5.-tSpe- cial)-Cotton and grain, especially wheat, maintain their upward ten dency owing to the continuance Of dry weather in the southwest, where rain is badly wanted. and the higher prices for cereals and the staple are reflected in a better demand.
 Buyers are usually prone to re frain from buying in declining vancing buying becomes more active which seems to be the case at pres ent.
 The little prospects for rain in ne southwest noted last week, haze dis appeared, instead of rain, fair wealth CT is indicated for immediate future, which has strengthened the Chicago market all the more and indirectly affected cotton favorably.
 It was necessary for conditions in the west and the south to improve to permit revival in general busi- ness. Now that values are enhanced materially in the agricultural sec tions of the country, there is cheer ful feeling in the business and if nanciaI circles throughout the coun- try especially in Wall street. A minus correction of about 17.000 bales was reported today in the local stock of certificated cotton, the re- count showing a stock of only about 3S. 900 bales against the running count of about 55.000.
 Of the corrected stock of the local certificated 27.000 bales are of low grades. the character Sf cotton for which the present trade demand is best, making it likely for the cot ton, if rendered on contracts to be accepted.
 Advices are to effect that the Bank of England may reduce it's discount rate tomorrow, last Thurs day it was per cent, which would make money easier in London, per haps influence the Federal Reserve bank in the United States to make another reduction in it's discount rates.-H. & B. Beer.

HuBBARD,s LETTER

New York, February 15.-SpecialJ ) Overnight covering contracts sold against stocks in the south brought a higher opening this morning but there was so many realizing orders from those who had bought on the recent decline that prices failed to hold and a sharp reaction took place. However. the market quickly rallied under fresh Wall street and trade buying. recovering practically all of the early loss.
 Spot cotton was reported in better demand in the south, which had a stimulating influence and as there is so little cotton left to be hedged at these prices, the carrying of con tracts against spot sales finds a great scarcity of contracts. After such sharp advance in few days a substantial reaction is to be ex- pected. but aside from temporary decline, we feel that the tendency will be toward higher prices as mills gradually cover the balance of their equirements.-Hub Bros. & Co.

WILLIAM ELLIOTT LOSES LIFE
 ASENC,INE FALLSFRODl TRESTLE;;
 CRUSHED BENEATH HEAVY CRANE

Caught between the engine and ten der while endeavoring to escape after the hundred-ton crane, two cars back of the engine, having crushed a bent and being in act of toppling from a trestle William S. Elliott, one of the most reliable and popular crane engi- neers employed on the Alaska rail road, was crushed to death Saturday afternoon. The accident occurred at Mile PIT, while the wrecking crane was returning from having assisted freight engine back on the track after gravel slide had derailed it.
 Engineer c. H. Smith, in charge of the pilot engine and Tom Sheehan, fireman were injured about the head, seriously, but not dangerously.
 According to a report supplied the Alaskan Engineering Commission the accident was due to a softening of the soil about a piling driven in swampy ground which had been subjected to an overplus of water due to the ex- cessive rains of the past few weeks.
 The body of MT Elliott was brought to Anchorage Saturday afternoon and turned over to the Williams undertak ing parlors for preparing for shipment to his former home in Seattle, and the injured were taken to the Anchorage hospital.
 According to information supplied William Gerig, first assistant engi- neer of the commission, the train, in- southward after clearing the track. The engine drawing the train was in charge of Charles H. Smith, and was proceeding at reduced speed. At tached to the pilot engine were two cars. and next came the 100-ton crane. MT. Elliott was engineer on the crane. and had just gone ahead and joined Engineer Smith in the cab, taking the fireman's seat. Glancing back he saw the crane starting to topple over and was in the act of escaping and had reached a point where a sheet of steel bridges the space between the tender and engine when the force of the top bling crane as it plunged eighteen feet to the swamp, dragged the two cars and engine backward with it. MT. Elliott was caught by the sheet of Smith and Sheehan attempted to es- cape and Sheehan was hit on the head and rendered unconscious, but fell clear of the wreckage. Engineer Smith, according to information re ceived, was cut about the head by glass, but jumped to safety.
 In addition to the pilot engine a locomotive with steam up was at the rear, being brought in from previ- ous derailment, farther up the line, in charge of "Malamute" Clark. See ing the crane toppling on the curve of the trestle Clark reversel his engine and saved the remainder of the train from following the crane, pilot engine and cars.
 As the piling gave way it carried the entire bent with it and the follow ing collapse of the trestle carried some eighteen bents with 1t, piling the tangled mass into the swamp below. It will be necessary, according to MT. Gerig, to dismantle the crane to extri- cate 1t from the swamp. MT. Gerig l stated that it was expected to have
