Most of the day was spent yesterday by Capt. Daniels and his men at the Geor gia and Alabama Railroad wharf, between Barnard and Montgomery streets. In an effort to launch the little boat to be used for towing purposes by the railroad. The lighter to be used as a ferry has been about completed, and will probably be read}’ to use by the time the boat is launched and ready. Getting the new’ bpat from the cars lo the water was found to be a tedious task, and one it took a number of laborers to accomplish. Some of the overhead con struction recently put up at the wharf, had to be removed to allow sufficient room to "skate" the boat into the water. It was expected she would be launched on the night tide, however, and would be ready to take a party of officials about the river early to-day. The new boat is about sixty feet long, and is equipped with a fore and aft com pound engine, four by eight inches, and seven-inch stroke. It carries 250 pounds of steam. The Georgia Lumber Company expects a steamer from New York shortly, to take a cargo of lumber to Cuba. The steamboat inspectors have given notice of their intention of inspecting the steamer Alpha to-morrow. Passengers b Stemunhfp* Passengers by steamship Chattahoochee for New York, June 28. C. L.

CROPS IN FLORIDA. Threatened tVrerflow of Rain Has Ceased and Pronpectn Are Fair. Sanford, Fla., June 28.—1 t seemed last week as though we were to be flooded with rain like the Georgia farmers and fruit growers, but our downpour ceased Sunday night, and iwo days of clear sun shine have put things into very good shape except on very low, w*et lands. Flor ida seldom has overflows of a serious character her rivers or lakes, and her greatest damages come from tidal waves and storms on the Gulf and Atlan tic coasts. In fact, take her all in all. our state suffers little from calamities outside of an occasional freeze. It is no doubt true that where one man gets dis gusted or disheartened and moves out of Florida, ten men come in to make good his loss if his departure can be called a loss. The steady increase in population and farm products and business enter prises is a substantial evidence that our state more than holds her own. The present season has been a good one for truck farmers end fruit growers, ex cept the backwardness of peaches on ac count of frost lest winter. While the crop is late and somewhat smaller than usual, many of the growers have marketed some very delicious early peechee. The strawberry cror> also suffered somewhat from the cold snap, yet a profitable crop was shipped to Northern markets. A good crop of pears in quality—though smaller than usual in size of crop—is now* nearly ready for shipment. There will be very few guavas, and only a small crop of oranges in Orange county. Many groves are again in bearing in favored sections of the county, and perhaps 4,000 boxes may be marketed next winter. More work is now being done on orange groves than ever before since the freeze of two win ters ago. The prospect of a mild winter ahead has inspired the owners of these neglected groves to make one more effort in the direction of profitable orange cul ture. Most of the celery’ nven and lettuce growers have made money this eason, some of them “striking it rich.” Of Mr. A. Robbins, late manager of the San ford House, has been quite fortunate in the superior quality of his products and the high prices realized. He refused ?8.0r) for his crop, but held it at $2,000 better. His good luck has resulted in He pur chase of the Florida House, a hotel near the old Orange Belt Railway depot, with spacious grounds surrounding it. Mr. Rob bins proposes to utilize these grounds for a thrifty celery farm, including leuuee. etc., and by so doing he will add cons d?r ably to city improvements. Of late 'here has been a tendency to bring truck farm ing within the city limits and thus utilize large tracts of land that have beer, idle for years. No Southern city can bo .st of tit er vegetable gardens than Sanford can show, and many of them are a source of cash income to their thrifty owners. In addition to supplying the home table.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE OFF. MARKET YIELDS CEXT BELOW THE OPEXTXG PRKE. It Look* Like the Closing of Jone May Witness Declines In Place of Advances in Turpentine—Cotton Futures Again th© Center of At traction—Old Crop Months Advance Shurply, Which Makes the Local Element Confident August Will Reach lO Cents—Local and Tele graphic Markets. Morning News Office, June 2S.—The de-’ cline of Vfc-eent in the turpentine market to-day indicates to some that there may be a repetition of the closing experience of previous mohths, Xvhen instead of a stiffening in values by a demand for stuff with which to fill contracts, this demand is satisfied and the market declines. For several days past it looked like the pric? of turpentine was to be maintained the balance of the month. As there are no evidences of a squeeze, however, it is pos sible any tendency for lower prices may not be checked by the demand. Stuff is beginning to move from the Gulf ports North by coastiwse steamers. and it may be the prospect of better facilities at these ports for the shipment of naval stores is having its effect. The rosin market showed considerable strength, advancing 5 cents at the opening on F ar.d below. At the advance the mar ket was bulletined firm, with a fair de mand reported for the offerings. While the extent of the damage by wet weather is not known, it is estimated it will amount to considerable, and may be felt more later in a lessening of receipts. The cotton futures market displayed great strength as to the old crop months, which advanced sharply, the closing show ing June up 47 points, July 30 and August 34 point**. The old crops were steady at a net decline of 4 and 6 paints. The ad vance** in the near months led the local element to freely predict 10 cents for Au gust because of the support of the lead ing influences. There is still much con fusion as to the crop damage, however, the trade everywhere still being undecid ed in the absence of definite ciop news. The wholesale markets were steady and unchanged. Produce is in fair detnan 1. though shipments of first quality ere not such as to glut the market. Receipts of fruits are in fair volume, with a good de mand. The following resume of the dif ferent markets will show the tone and quotations: COTTOX. of 480 bales were reported at the Cotton Exchange to-day, being the larg est for any one day for some time past. A slight demand has sprung up. which may be the harbinger for business shortly. Local interest continues to center in the futures marker, which showed much strength to-day as to the old crop months. The local receipts were 148 bales, against 525 last year. The stock is 15,799, against 19.091 last year.

June 28.—Events of the day on the Cotton Exchange were not cal culated to clear up the confusion of opin ions and mixed state of sentiment in gen eral. The statistics came to the fore front. and cut a leading influence In the English and New- Orleans markets as well es In local circles. A great stir of spin ners and shorts In Liverpool for present cotton crop caused one of the most sensa tional advances in that market remember, ed. which rise in turn caused a decided uplift here and in the South. The far months fluctuated in the reverse direction In keeping with better weather reports and predictions, and selling bv those hold ers believing the market to be in a top heavy condition as a result of the late closing up of short accounts. At the time of our opening values in Liverpool were 4 to 7 points up op near months, but 2% to 3 points off in fhe remote options. First sales indicated an advance of 2 to 6 points on old crop, and a decline of 4 to 9 points on new crop cotton here, with the room trader very much at see as to Just which way to turn. The later reports from Liv erpool increased the nervousness and con .us on on the local exchange, and effc-- I -ually checked fresh speculation by ih- ! outside public. Disquieting reports In connection with affairs In China intensl- Tr 1 ** n, * ral sxcltement prevalent Liquidation set in after the opening and Kitts down to about night prices on summer months, and 5 to 11 ptDintn net lower on far months. A quick turn of front in response to a perpendic ular rise in Liverpool sent values up 10& 12 points. A long period of apathy gava way to renewed feverish fluctuations and spasmodic trading in the lost hour. Price:* one more took an upward direction otk urgent demand from Southern and for eign interests, which w r ere influenced bjr reports of heavy spot sales for export In New Orleans and other Southern mar kets. 4 The market closed firm for near months with June 47 points, July 30 points, Auguat 24 points and September 2 points higher; later months steady et a net decline of 4 to 6 points.

June 28.—Hubbard Bros. Cos. say: The feature of the day has been the sharp advance in the nearby position® ia Liverpool and here. This advance abroad is due to the strong statistical po sition cf that market and the attempt of Liverpool operators to manipulate the nearby positions. In this effort they hav® been assisted by the corner in New Or leans. which is attracting cotton to that market that might otherwise go directly to Liverpool The markets have paid little a tention to-day to the clearing weather reports over the cotton belt, but have been governed by the strength in the nearby months Shorts have covered free ly in both markets while those who w'©r© long of the distant deliveries have found ii difficult to dispose of their holdings ex cept at concessions. Outside of the manip ulation the trade accounts have not been in favor of cotton, but the feeling in the trade is growing that the damage to th© crop from recent rains is much more se rious than thought.

The opening was firm at 42% cents, with sales of 282 casks reported, and the clos ing firm at 42*4c, with further sales of 100 casks reported. While the exact cause of the weakness was not apparent, it looked like it wa ssuch as to carry the price downward. A repetition of last month's closing may be in store. It was then fac to: s confidently expecied higher prices, but instead declines came, which did not stop until the price dropped below what even buyers iookei for. The receipts to day were 1,680, sales 362. and the exports none. ROSINS—The feature of the rosin mar ket to-day was an advance of 5 cents on F and below, which was posted at the opening.
