Liverpool is due 4 up tomorrow. ►.here were only some 16,000 that were In districts where any cotton remained, to be ginned, thus leaving about 1,000 gins not reporting. Even considering the amount of In formation that has been disseminated throughout the cotton world, It seems strange that views as t(J the ultimate size of tne crop should be so widely divergent. And yet this condition pre vails and it Is more than likely that spinners who hold to their large crop ideas have no intention of becoming large purchasers at the moment. Or It may be that being supplied for the time being their spindles have no im mediate needs. Certain it is that they have lapsed Into a state of apathy, and the future course of the market rath er devolves Itself, as far as any lasting support is concerned, out of the strength of the spinner who will not buy or from the equally powerful posi tion of the farmer who will not sell. Scalping conditions being so strongly In evidence, we feel that the pursuit of this course will prove more profit able htnn investment purchases. GIBERT & CLAY. Now Orleans Cotton Market. Prev.

A little girl, aged 4 years, dropped from a chair in her parents’ room in this city about 7:30 o’clock last night, and fell into an open grate, in which was a blazing fire.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.—The opening of the Liverpool market this morning was decidedly irregular, due no doubt to some heavy short covering in an ticipation of a better tone that the American rings were due to reflect. Options showed an advance of from 10 to 14 points on the opening when only due one-half of that amount, but Inter eased off somewhat and closed about nine points over yesterday. Spot sales continued large, there having been some 12,000 bales reported today at a good advance, denoting that the excel lent business existing heretofore con tinues unabated. ' Manchester reported that the price of cloths had stiffened up and that there was an increased demand for yarns. Futures on the opening of the local market were steady but quiet, the prices showing a healthy advance over yesterday’s close, hut later the market became nervously affected in antici pation of the figures that were issued by tlie government, showing the amount of cotton to he ginned’ from January 16 to be 250,844 hales. After the report, there was a slight advance, but shortly, a rumor having been spread about that only 14,500 gins had been heard from, caused a decidedly weakening tendency and prices eased off in consequence. The rumor, even if true, was subsequently construed not in the light of anything unfavor able, for it was afterward learned that out of a total of about 28,000 gins New York bears continue to bombard Liverpool with bear dope, but private advices from there say the news has little effect, with mills running over time and cotton selling at the very best basis ever known. Director North issued a report esti mating that 251,000 hales remained to be ginned. The market advanced 12 points on the report. Dont’ pay any attention to the re port that the South is selling spots on nil breaks, for It is not true. It begins to look as if no one but a fortune teller can forecast this mar ket. It Is. certainly a fine field for the student. Private advices here from one of the very best- posted men in Liverpool say: "Do not go short of the summer positions.’’ After ruling very steady during the early session, Liverpool felt the ef fect of selling orders from our side and closed easy, but S UP.

The flames had eaten the clothes off her back, and her neck, face and arms were one mass of blisters. A physician was quickly summoned by her mother. The wounds were dressed, and at last reports, the un fortunate little girl was a little better, The fire-fenders that Eatman sells are constructed so that it Is impossible for a spark or piece of live coal to fall out of the grate onto the floor.
