NEW YORK. October 1s.-The cot
ton market was nervous and unsteady
pool was better than due and very
unsettled weather conditions were
reported in the south, but these fea
lures seemed to be offset by a dis
position to take profits on continued
complaints from the goods trade and
Il less favorable view of European
political conditions. The market
opened irregular at a decline of one
point to an advance of twenty points,
but after selling at 2919 at the start,
December broke to 2S.S5 under reali2-

NEW YORK, October 1S.-Some fur

crude oil output reported in the latest

fluctuations were unimportant. In

final RISING
WATER CAUSES
MUCH DAMAGE

The Kennebcc, which at II o'clock
Monday night was falling. rose
again later in the night. and morning
found the highest water of the flood
period. The Waterhouse dwelling
slipped out in the night and went
adventuring down the river, it's ulti-
mate destination apparently the At
lantic. Whether the Gardiner
bridge acted as barrier to the full
fillment of its ambitions is not
known.
The water reached much higher up
Temple street and loading of boxes
at the box factory was an affair Of
dropping them from the upper win
dows. The freight shed went over
on its side and tried to float up on
water street, but finally made the
wharf and damned against the Cot
tie barn.
Goods along the street were more
or less injured by the unexpected
final rise. Quinn was loser to some
extent All the cellars were more or
less damaged. But the flood condi-
ton was not for long. The water
receded faster than it had come up.
At noon the street at the foot. of
Central hill was clear and Mrs.
Brann was cleaning up her store
where the water had been foot and
a half in depth.
Even the "Joppa" district dried
out till it was but ghost of its for
mer self. and boating became a diff
cult sport. During the afternoon
cars went through with more or less
difficulty and walking was possible
if the pedestrian was equipped with
hip boots. In the late afternoon the
trolley cars bagan to run again as
far as Wingates store.
IIallowelrs spring house cleaning
was drastic and expensive, and an
experiment that merchants hope will
not be repeated But the total dam
age falls far short of what it might
easily have been.
