She Will Be Used for Ton-Inn. tud Also ns a Fire Boat With the Ton Hegls, Which Has Bern Engaged lor This Service—Moore Dredging < ompaay Flalshes Its Contract In the Savannah River British Steamship Keanett Arrives at Quarantine Soles of Interest From the River Front. The tug Forest City has been sold by the Propeller Towhoot Company to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. She will be turned over to the purchasers at once, and will be used as a patrol and fire boat, and also for towing purposes about the company's property. The fact that the railroad has valuable property on the island la recognized, and ample provision hae been made to protect it against fire. The tug Regis is under stood to have been engaged for a short time as a fire boat. She was at the com pany's wharves yesterday and last night. It was to provide ample means for the protection of the island properly that the Forest City was bought, and will hereaft er be at the wharves with the Regis. Both the Regis and the Forest City have just been thoroughly overhauled, and are In condition to do effective service should a demand arise for them. The Forest City has for some time past been at the wharves of Rourke & Sons, who overhaul ed her machinery and made all needed re vairs. It is understood to have been after the tug went to the shope that it was de cided to sell her. Completed Dredging Content. The R. R. Moore Dredging Company have completed their contract for dredgi \g the Savannah river In accordance with plans and specifications furnished by Cant. Gillette. The work done was at various points along the river from the city to the quarantine station. Held at quarantine. The British steamship Kennett, Capt. Torney. arrived at quarantine yesterday from Norfolk. If is understood she will he detained there. The Kennett sailed from Baltimore for Norfolk, and from Norfolk to Savannah. If she was from a port against which the quarantine regu lations apply, prior to her arrival at Bal timore, this may explain the reason for tier detention below. She is eharatered to take a cargo of lumber to Santiago for the Georgia Lumber Company. The Norwegian bark James G. Pendle ton, Capt. Abrahamsen, arrived yesterday. She is tied up at the Gordon wharf. The Pendleton is eharatered for a cargo of na val stores for return cargo. As previously stated she has been sold to Savantiahlans, and will be operated by them hereafter. The bow of the steamer Clifton, which was damaged on Saturday, has been re paired. Two unknown barks were sighted off Tybee last night. They passed over the bar and anchored. it is understood negotiations are pend ing for the purchase of th* steamer San tee. The prospective purchasers are un derstood to want her for use in the Sa vannah river. The rain yesterday afternoon Interfered with the excursions. The steamer Harry G. Day was chartered to take a party to Abereorn, and the Alpha to Daufuskie. Owing to the failure of the crowds to ma terialize neither boat left the docks. The steamship George Farwell, 781 tons, which has been chartered for coal from Norfolk to Savannah, will return) to Irv ington with dry cypress, on private terms. Capt. Sweeney is temporarily in com mand of the quarantine tug Theekla in the absence of her regular commander. Capt. Greer, who is on h's annual vaca tion.

The cotton market was active and at times exciied. Fluctuations were frequent ami violent, and while mostly in favor of the bulis yet even they had to t*ubmit to some rude shocks. Prominent teature.s were the lare spot sales in where rapidly reducing stocks cause evi dent uneasiness; every Indication of a tight squeeze in summer months at New Orleana, and continued poor crop reports. Latterly, however, it was understood that somewhat more favorable weather had caused a rather more hopeful feeling about the crop. The strength was principally’ In the summer months; July sold as low as 9c on Monday, and as high s 10c on Fri day, closing at 9.58 c. August ranged from 8.84 c to 9.61 c, closing at 9.26 c. a gain of 36 points. September touched 8.99 c. closing ,13 points higher at 8.67 c. New crop months closed six to eight points lower. October 8.34 c, after selling up to i.7oe. The market closed weak. The position is so abnormal, that fore casts are of liltle or no -altie. Port end interior stocks combined are less than 30b,- 000 bales, against over 860.000 last year. Statistically the situation is o strong that it is not easy to understand how any one would care to sell short the old crop months. It is claimed that a “colossal” short interest in July and August already exists; if so. ii passes understanding how the shorts can ever get out. Should the weather in July prove fuvorab’e. It would undoubtedly go far toward retrieving the present unpromising outlook for the new cron, but would not necessarily help old crop short*-much. It does not seem un likely that existing ’Meals” may culminate and the shorts be forced to settle home time before the options mature, and many outside ‘•tnilcrs” will be left in the lurch, high and dry. Stocks were moderately active and main ly stronger after some acute weakness on Monday. The Improvement was very’ gen erally shared by’ the whole list—railroads and lndusirials. being most pronounced in the case of shocks which had previously suffered the most. The market on Sat urday was dull, but firm, and the senti m nc seems rather more hopeful. Wheat was art.ive but unsettled and weaker, declining o\er v ßc. Theresas very little improvement in spring wheat re |)orts. but it was felt that the recent ad vance had discounted a great deal, es pecially as a fair crop is- assured for the country as a whole. This naturally led to realizing and the consequent reacHon. Provisions were variable, closing weaker, lard thirty points and ribs fifteen to twren t.v points lower. It Is said there Is- a big deal afooi In provisions; certainly present small supplies afford a tempring opportu-t nity. and the big fellows seem robe up to something or other. Would buy ribs and I>ork on soft spots. Wm. T. Williams. PROSPECT GOOD FOR COTTON. The Outlook Favorable for it Big li iell In North Carolina. The cotton crop in North Carolina pro mises to be a large one this season, say* on exchange. Merchants are feeling very jubilant at the prospect of the crop, which will meet with an extraordinary demand. The secretary of the Norfolk and Ports mouth Cotton Exchange has received the first blossoms of the new crop in Virginia and North Carolina. The blossom from Virginia was from Brunswick county, nnd was picked June 27. The specimen from North Carolina was picked June 28, in Bertie county. lioh blooms are big and beautiful and such as lo make glad the cotton grower, promising n heavy yield of choice staple that will, from present Indications, bring golden returns to the farmers.

"The Age of Elizabeth" is a phrase synonymous with the most brilliant era of English his tory. at least down to that of yictoria; hut the men who made it so had a line of suc cessors during the next fifty years, wbo left Ihe reigns of James, Charles 1, Crom well, and Charles TI hardly less notable. The author 1 ' from whom selections have been made for this latest addition to the friendly and helpful "Nugget Series," wire all born while Elizabeth was on the throne, which she ascended in 1547, nnd the latest survivor of them lived till 1083. only two years before the death of Charles 11. An excellent portrait of fful ler opens the book, and a discriminating introduction by the compiler awakens ah Interest which her Intelligently gathered “nuggets" more thea sustain. MAGAZINES. Richard Harding Davis' "The Relief of Ladysmith" In the July Scribner’s Is probably the most brilliant piece of war correspondence since his famous story of the fight at LasGuasimas. He gives a vivid Impression of the ways of living, the privations, suffering and the constant dan ger in the besieged city, and of the fine spirit of endurance that enabled its tie. fenders to hold out until Ihe last. The first of the papers or) "The Slave trade In America" by John R. Spears, appears In this number. These will supply the first complete narrative dealing with the subject In alt It* aspects. Another article by Thomas F. Millard, the correspondent who has been on Ihe Boer aide throughout the war, and who has made a careful study of Ihetr methods of fighting, deals with "The Boer Asa Soldier." Senator Hoar contributes on entertain ing article on "Harvard College Flfl>- eiglit Years Ago,” dealing with college customH. classes nnd many of the famous men who made up the university world of the old days. There are interesting per sonal reminiscences of I’resldcn*s Quincy, Everett, Walker and of Profs. Longfel low, Pierce. Channing. Judge Story and others. A delightful sene* of humor per vades the entire paper. The ehort stories are "The Vain Shadow," by Duncan Campbell Scott, the scene of which Is in the great Hudson Bax region; and ihe "Colllgo Club Theatricals," by Charles Warren, on amusing narrative of how tlie governor of a great state play ed bis part with surprising results. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. The timeliness of the July Century is due in large measure to its literary nnd pictorial treatment of the present Mecca of holiday-makers. Eight full-page draw'- higs by Castaigne illustrate the Exposi tion; and four other full-page and several smaller drawings from the same pencil form a pi, Moral commentary cn Hi hard Whiting's paper on "Artistic Paris." In an article on "The Com mercial Ascendency of the Unit ed States," the Hon. Carroll D. \\ right, i ommlssloner of labor, hazards the guess that In exports for the year ending March 31 last.
